FM Radio Recorder app for your Android Phone

Posted by Golden Dragon In | 2 comments»
I have seen many people download apps from Google Play just for fun. Some of the apps in Google Play doesn't really make any sense. They just develop apps and release it to the market without even testing for compatibility.

Recently I needed to download an app to record some music from the FM Radio and I searched throughout the Google Play. I downloaded around 10 apps and none of them worked really. Most of them were designed to record streaming media (internet radio), which was not the one I wanted in my case. Finally I could find a solution for this.

FM Radio Recorder app for android phones
This app is RecForge Lite which is a dictaphone app that records high quality wav, mp3 or ogg files. The app is originally designed to record high quality sounds. This can originally be used to record meetings, music etc. I tested this with my FM player in my Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman and it worked.

Basically the Lite version offers you 3 minutes of recording time from the .mp3 and .ogg formats and then pauses. So you will be having trouble with continues recording of the tracks from Radio. But there will not be any disturbance for you if you record the FM sound tracks with .wav format.

If you still need to go with continuous recording with mp3 or ogg, you can buy there pro version at an expense of $3.85.

Lets see the steps on how you can record the FM Radio sounds using this app.

First Download the RecForge Lite - Audio Recorder from the Google Play.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dje073.android.audiorecorderlite

Then connect the headphones, open your FM Radio player, set the frequency (radio station/channel) you want the app to record and let it run on the background.

Open the RecForge app and start recording. Once the app is started recording the track, set its settings to +2 db or +3 db in order to have a louder sound. Otherwise the recorded sound track would not give a loud output.

When you finish recording, it will automatically saved in your default folder where sounds files are stored.

This trick will help you to record sounds directly from FM Radio, rather than going for streaming internet radio recorder apps.

If you pay thousands for the designing of your company’s website, than you should pay equally for the content writing, as both are equally important for increasing visitors to your site. The content of the website should be to the point and crisp to get attention of the reader, and at the same time it must cover the topic. If your website content is not up to the mark, it may lead down your company’s business and affect your online presence as well.

It can be classifieds into various types such as content writing for websites, for blogs and to write a simple article to post. Content Writing is just like the lifeline for the website, on which the failure and success of the site depends. So the content should be relevant and unique for the website.

Content writing is a difficult task to do, as no one defines what good content is.
However, we can say that a good content must be unique and useful. Content of a website is created in such a way that is satisfies all the norms of the search engines.

Here are some points to keep in mind while writing content:

1. Choose unique Heading: For best content writing, you should use unique heading for your content, that will also help search engines and readers, as heading is the first thing that a reader’s eye catch, and make them curious to read your content.

3. Title Tags: Use title tags in your content as it is the best ways of moving your website ranking high on search engine.

4. Meta Description: Write Meta description about 150 words for your website and make sure to use keywords in it. This is the best way for search engine to optimize your website.

5. Write original content: Always write original and fresh content for your website, never write copied content as duplicate content is not allowed in SEO.

6. Choose images: You can choose images for your content to make it more interesting, but to make sure it must be relevant to the content you are providing.

While the help of these points, you can surely write a good content for your website. To have a flourishing website, you need to have sales; to get sales from your product you need to have traffic. Thus, traffic and sales are interdependent. SEO Content is rigid, to the point, cyclic. As the increasing demand of good quality content, there are many jobs available online for free lancers too. Today, Content writers are in high demand to improve the quality of the web content through general content writing and SEO content writing.

I have been registered in an online game site some time ago. Though I was not a frequent player, I used to play on that site time to time as there was many interesting games on it. Few days back I could redeem a $6.5 Amazon coupon code from them free of charge.

The free online game site where I redeemed the coupon code is KadoKado. KadoKado is one of the most popular online game site which has millions of registered players around the world.

For each Green Gem you can play a game and accumulate the points called "Kado Points". The Kado Points are the coins in Kado Community where you can redeem for the prizes, Amazon coupons etc.

The Kado Points can be earned by many ways. The easiest way to earn points is by fulfilling contracts on each game. For each game you will have a random amount of Kado points. Then you can earn by winning stars in on each game. Then you can earn points by reaching levels as well. On the other hand you can join to a clan and play together to earn clan points at the end of two weeks period.

Activate Google Multiple Login in same Browser

Posted by Golden Dragon In | 0 comments»
Normally we all have few email accounts maintained rather than using a single email account. It seems to be useless to someone, but in fact it is more effective to maintain few email accounts just to get rid from spam and bulky emails.

But sometimes you might have disappointed when it comes to log into two or more Gmail accounts. If you need to log into two or more Gmails, you need either to use two separate browsers or log out from one and log into the other.

But most of us are still not aware that Google has introduced multiple account sign in feature. With this now you can log into multiple accounts at the same browser. So that hereafter you don't want to worry about changing browsers to log into two different Gmail accounts at the same time.

Let's see how you can activate this option on your Google Account.

First you need to log into one of your Gmail accounts. Make sure you tick "Stay signed in" checkbox when you sign in.

Then go to the below URL.
https://accounts.google.com/optintoaccountchooser

Then add the desired accounts to your Google account with relevant passwords.

The below image shows a browser which is used to log in with two different Gmail accounts.


If you are using a shared computer or a public computer, this method is not recommended.

Rotating Social Icons and Email Subscribe Widget

Posted by Golden Dragon In | 2 comments»
Any good blog designer would know that if he add a  follow widget to his blog, the site traffic may increase due to the subscriptions. It has a potential to retain the interested visitors and boost the site revisit conversion ratio.

Recently I have seen that many bloggers have added social bookmarking icons to their blogs. But most of their added widgets are not looking good on their blogs and some of them are really untidy as well. So I have thought of designing a widget where you can add subscriptions for your main social bookmarking sites and by email.

Rotating Social Icon and Email Subscribe Widget
The most interesting part here is the bookmarking buttons are rotating when you take your mouse pointer over the image. The rotating hover effect is designed for the Facebook, Google plus, Twitter, and RSS feed icons. Below the icons, I added an email subscription widget where your visitors can subscribe for email updates. This is solely designed in a way where you can copy and paste in a html/javascript widget. No need to do any xml modifications. All you have to do is replacing the coloured text according to your details.


The below image is the final outcome when you added the widget to your blog.


Lets add the widget now. Follow the following steps.

Step 1 : Go to Blogger dashboard's layout and select "Add a Gadget"

Step 2 : Add a HTML/Javascript. Then copy and paste the below code.

            <input class="email" type="text" style="width: 110px; font-size: 12px;" id="email" name="email" value="Enter Your Email.." onfocus="if(this.value==this.defaultValue)this.value=&#39;&#39;;" onblur="if(this.value==&#39;&#39;)this.value=this.defaultValue;" />

        </form>
     </div></div>
     </center>
<div id="TricksFinder"><script src='http://rotate-bar.googlecode.com/files/rotatebuttons.js' type='text/javascript'/>
</script></div>
<!--end of Tricks Finder social widget-->

Step 3 : Replace the above Red urls of the social bookmarking sites with your links. Replace the above Purple text with your feedburner ID. It is usually the last part of the feedburner URL. For an example
http://feeds.feedburner.com/tricksfinder/VSuv

In order to make the widget fully visible, your widget section where you put the code needs to be have at least a size of 250px. Otherwise you will have to remove one of the bookmarking icon. That can be easily done by deleting the whole section between
<!--Start XXXXX Icon-->
<!--End XXXXX Icon-->

That's is. Now you will have a nice rotating subscription box.

Password Protected SMS (Text Encryptor & Decryptor)

Posted by Golden Dragon In | 0 comments»
In modern  telecommunication era, text message sending (SMS) is the the most popular method among teenagers. Low cost, ease of use and lack of complexity may be the reasons for that. Most of us have the ability to type a message within few seconds on phone without even looking the keypad.

It is true that SMS are so popular and widely used, but we cannot ensure security of the messages we receive and send. Anyone can read all your messages if they get your phone.

Have you ever thought that what if there's a method where you can secure your received messages to your mobile phone. For the first time in the world you will be able to secure your text messages in your mobile phone with a highest privacy and safety. This is still in experiment mode. This technology has been discovered by three youngster school boys who are from a South Asian country, Sri Lanka. The new technology is named as TED.

Text (SMS) Encryptor and Decryptor
TED, “Text Encryptor & Decryptor” mobile application will allow you to secure your text messages in your phone. You will experience the best privacy control for your messages from this application. Yet, this application, TED can be used only in java enabled (compatible) phones. But the drawback here is that to gain benefit from this, both sender and receiver should install TED to their mobile phones. You will receive a user account and password when TED is installed for the first time on your mobile. When you will receive a SMS then the same SMS will also receive to TED account. So owner should need to login to the Ted account to read & view the received messages.

The messages you received to your mobile phones are completely limited to you. Only you can read the messages. If unknown tries to read the messages, it is useless as he won’t be able to read it because the messages would display an encrypted form of text such as secret codes.

Those who use TED will receive this wonderful and amazing security and privacy for his mobile phone. The all compliments should go to the three students who created this valuable application named  Roshnal, Adeesha and Chamath.The below is the official website for this application.

The above application has been developed for the contest Think Quest 2012 organized by Oracle Education Foundation.

Gone PR3 with Yesterday's Google PageRank update

Posted by Golden Dragon In | 0 comments»
As bloggers, many of us target our blogs to compete with others and come up to the first place in Google. I'm not that much good on search engine optimization (SEO) for the tricky articles which I publish. On the other hand I don't have enough time to do bit of SEO for my articles and blog as I am busy with my office work.

Today I got to know that there a rumor saying Google has updated it's pagerank (PR) again. Few weeks ago, may be probably a month ago, I checked my Pagerank after I purchased the domain tricksfinder.com from GoDaddy. It was nothing significant other than a PR0. So I checked my PR just to see whether the rumor is true.

How I got Google PR3 within few months
Whoa...! I couldn't believe my eyes. What I saw was really astonishing. It was PR3 before my domain. I wonder how I achieved such a rank within few months. I just checked my rank with some of my friends those who are really working towards a better SEO rank. But what I observed was that most of their blogs has been demoted in terms of Google PR. According to my recent experience, what I feel is that Google seems to track intentional site promotions other than black hat methods.

So I thought of sharing my experiences on this PR update. I think it would be useful for those who have sites with decreased PR. The below are few tricks I use when I do blogging.

Method 1 : It is stated by many SEO specialists that after the Google Panda update, the PR algorithm has been changed and more weight has been allocated to social network shares. Normally bloggers share their content only to Facebook and Twitter. But I prefer other sharing networks than these primary sites. I used to submit my content especially to Digg and Stumbleupon. But once I got a huge traffic from Reddit as well. I'm not familiar enough with Reddit as it seems to bit complex to me. But may be that huge traffic from Reddit has come from a submission by loyal user at Reddit who visits my blog.

Method 2 : Do submit to other DoFollow social bookmarking sites like Tagza, Supfella, Fundolink. These sites allows you to submit your content and get votes for the submissions. So that you will get some additional traffic as well from those sites if they come up in the top stories of the day. Try to add social sharing buttons widget at the bottom of your blog posts. It will increase the social media impact of the readers of your blog.

Method 3 : Earlier when I put images onto blog posts, I used to do a relevant Google Image search and put an image from the search results. Now I do design a custom image and upload it into the blog post. Once you upload an image, make sure you place alt tags as well. The 'alt' tags will tell what your image is about.

Method 4 : It's better if you can always add a custom permalink to your blog posts. If you add keywords to the custom permalink, then it will increase your search engine visibility.

Method 5 : Add few subscription methods like Facebook fan pages, twitter and G+ follows, Email Subscriptions, RSS feeds etc. Once you post a new post, update those as well. So your subscribers will know that you have updated.

Those are the things I normally do when I post something. Try above few things and see whether it will work for you as well.

How to redirect Godaddy without www domain to with www

Posted by Golden Dragon In | 3 comments»
Do you have a domain purchased from Godaddy? Normally what you do is just connect your website or blog to the domain and continue. But have you ever checked whether your website works without www? If not just try it now. Most probably if you are not aware of that fact, your site without domain would not work.

Normally search engines identify the domain with www and the domain without www as two different domains. Hence it is needed to make sure you redirect without www domain to the domain with www. As I explained in the post how to add GoDaddy domain to your Blogspot Blog, there's a option in blogger to automatically redirect to www.

Redirect Godaddy without www to with www
Why it is so important?

If your domain without www is not redirected to www, then you will lose a considerable traffic to your site. Lets say your domain is popular. Then they will type your site name on the address bar and hit enter. There's a high possibility that they may not type www.

If that happens, he/she may not come to your site. They will see some advertising links of your domain seller and browse away. So you need to forward your domain now.

Let's see how this is done in Godaddy through Domain Name Forwarding.

Step 1 : First log into your GoDaddy Account.

Step 2 : In the Domains Panel, Click Launch.

Step 3 : Select the domain name you want to forward, Click Forward, then select Forward Domain (As in the below picture)

Godaddy domain forward to www

Step 4 : In the popup select http:// or https:// depending on your server settings. In normal cases it is http://. In the Forward to field, enter the URL you want to forward your domain name to. Here add the full domain including www. (As in the below picture)

Godaddy Domain Forwarding wizard

Step 5 : Select Update my DNS setting to support this change. So that your DNS settings will automatically update for the forwarding. Now click OK.

Now your domain is ready. It will take some time (usually around half an hour) to update the changes. Once the changes are updated, your domain without www will successfully redirect to the domain with www.
