Coming to a Website Near You: Google ‘+1′ Sharing Button

Google expanded on Wednesday the reach of its new sharing button, dubbed “+1″, introducing a version that companies can add to their websites, alongside Facebook and Twitter’s now ubiquitous Like and Tweet This buttons.

The button has little benefit currently, but it’s clearly part of the infrastructure for a bigger project — Google’s long-rumored social networking competitor to Facebook. It’s like putting a way to fill your cart before the cart and horse.

The button allows signed-in Google users to recommend the page to their friends and contacts, who can see the vote and a thumbnail photo of the voter if the page shows up in search.

Haha, pretty cute. Curtesy infinityskins.blogspot.com

Showing HTML in Blogger Posts

I found out how to show html code and whatnot in blogger posts because for some reason it's more tricky to show it here than in a normal webpage. Thanks to blogkori.com

Invisible Blogger Navigation Bar

I found this in my current template, it was hiding the blogger navigation bar. I didn't want it doing that but I thought I would put this handy little code here.

/* Blogger Navigation Bar */
#Navbar1 {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
visibility: hidden;
display: none;
}
