Be cool with Winamp and Yahoo! Messenger

19 March 2007 8 Comments

If you listen to musics while chatting with your friends, I guess you need this thing to show them how cool you are. b-)

Larkington’s Yahoo Messenger Winamp Plugin is a additional feature that will set your Yahoo! Messenger status message to the title of the song currently playing on your Winamp. There are also some other Winamp plugins which are working with the same concept but this plugin is better than the others. And I’m currently using it on my PC and this plugin works perfectly. <:-p But if you have created custom Yahoo! Messenger status message, you need to delete all the messages because, this plugin will rotate the messages instead of displaying the song currently playing on your Winamp. :-w To delete the custom messages, you need Yahoo! Messenger Status Edit.

Don’t wait any longer, download the plugin and be cool instantly! >:/ [tags]winamp, plugin, yahoo messenger[/tags]

Tools to convert FLV files

3 February 2007 11 Comments

There are tricks that we can use to download videos from Google or YouTube. For an example, by using YouTubeX to download from Youtube. But the file downloaded is in FLV format which means, we need a FLV player to play it. However, we can convert the FLV files into MP3 or MPEG format. So we can play it in Winamp or other media players that support those formats.

Convert FLV to MP3 (online)

If you don’t want to download software to convert your FLV file to MP3 format, you can use FLV NellyMoser to MP3 Online Converter to convert it. Choose which FLV file that you want to convert, enter your email and image verification and wait for awhile. Open your email inbox and you will get the download link to the converted MP3 file.

Do you want to change your FeedBurner Headline Animator from the old-school style

to like this

Some of you may already knew about it. Now we can use our own custom image for our headline animator. Just create your own design, then go to FeedBurner account. Under Publicize, go to Headline Animator and in Customize Your Headline Animator, choose “Design your own…”.

There you can customize the title, date and headline for your headline animator. You can decide the colour, font size and width. And you also can drag to arrange them on your image.

Btw what do you think with my feed animator design? The idea I use is from this WordPress theme. Lol… :d [tags]feedburner, headline, animator[/tags]

Display AdSense in certain Posts in WordPress

8 December 2006 6 Comments

James emailed me on how I display my adsense in certain posts. As you can see on my homepage, there is an adsense above the content in my first post. And after the first post, there is another post that has adsense but without content. To do it, you just need to put a counter. We create the counter by using PHP.

First we need to declare the variables that we want to use.

$postnum – This variable use for count how many posts in the loop
$showads# – This variable is use the adsense that we want to display.

Note: Replace the # with number, eg: 1, 2, etc.

Ok here is the trick. Put this PHP code before the loop.

<?php
$postnum = 1; //Define the initial value
$showads1 = 1; //This mean it will be display in post #1
$showads3 = 3; //This mean it will be display in post #3
?>
