Working with mouse keys

Mouse Keys enables the user to use the numeric keypad to move the pointer instead of by using the mouse. This will benefit users who are unable to use or have difficulty using the mouse or other equivalent pointing device.

Turning On Mouse Keys

Mouse Keys may be turned on via either of the two following ways:

VIA THE CONTROL PANEL

  1. Open the Ease of Access control panel, and click on Change how your keyboard works.
  2. Check the box labeled Turn on Mouse Keys, and click OK (Figure 1).
  3. Make sure NUMLOCK is on. (By default Mouse Keys will not be used if NUMLOCK is off.)

Create Separate Contact Page in Blogger

Blogger launched it’s official version of the Contact Form Widget but, it works only on the Blogger Sidebar. If you don’t want to add the contact form to your Blog’s sidebar but want it to appear on a specific page, then this tutorial will help you out. I didn’t want the contact form to appear every where on my blog. So I have moved it to a separate Contact Me Page

How to move the Blogger Contact Form to a separate Page

Follow the below steps to move the Contact Form to a separate page. If you would like to see a demo, you can check out my Contact page.
  1. First, add the Blogger Contact Form Widget to your sidebar. (We will hide the contact form later in this tutorial, but you have to add it) . My previous tutorial on adding a blogger contact form widget will help you out.
  2. Now create a new page in your blogcreate-new-page-in-blogger
  3. Copy the below contact form code block
    <form name='contact-form'>
    <div>Your Name : </div>
    <input class='contact-form-name' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-name' name='name' size='30' type='text' value=''/>
    <div>Your Email: <em>(required)</em></div>
    <input class='contact-form-email' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-email' name='email' size='30' type='text' value=''/>
    <div>Your Message: <em>(required)</em></div>
    <textarea class='contact-form-email-message' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-email-message' name='email-message' rows='5'></textarea>
    <p></p>
    <input class='contact-form-button contact-form-button-submit' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-submit' type='button' value='Send'/>
    <div style='text-align: center; max-width: 450px; width: 100%'>
    <p class='contact-form-error-message' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-error-message'></p>
    <p class='contact-form-success-message' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-success-message'></p>
    </div>
    </form>
    
    While creating the Page, you have to switch to the HTML mode as shown in the image below. Then paste the above code into the post editor, disable the comments and publish your page.
    blogger-comment-form-on-separate-page
  4. Now go to Template > Edit HTMLblogger-edit-html
    and Jump to the ContactForm Code and expand with widget code
    jump-to-contact-form-widget
    expand-contact-form-widget
    and then expand the main b:includable
    expand-contact-form-widget-main-includable
    Now delete the code highlighted below
    delete-bincludable-of-contact-form
    so that it ends up like
    contact-form-widget-should-look-like Now we have prevented the Contact Form Widget from appearing anywhere on the sidebar but have kept the widget registered.Make sure that you don't remove the widget from the Layout Page.
  5. Save the Template and it’s done.You now have a separate contact page on your Blogger blog :-)

  6. Happy Blogging!

Super Copier





Windows doesn't certainly stand out for its speed when copying or moving files. This is why using a program like SuperCopier is such a great idea!

SuperCopier manages transfers of large quantities of folders and files, or huge-sized files in a much more reliable and efficient way than that standard Windows Explorer. You can run the program from its icon on the system or simply copy and paste files and folders in the usual way: SuperCopier is embedded in Windows Explorer and will take care of the task.

This program not only makes copying and moving files much faster, but also adds some handy new options: you can now pause and resume the task at any point, see the transfer speed rate, check the percentage of completion, create lists of files to be copied or moved and even modify this list while the process is already taking place. Best of all, SuperCopier doesn't replace the standard copy/paste Windows functionality, so you can try it out without any fears and simply uninstall it in case you're not happy with it.

SuperCopier includes a complete settings menu that lets you tweak the program's behavior, as well as customize some details in the program's interface– which, to be honest, wouldn't win any design prize.

SuperCopier enables you to copy and paste files and folders in Windows in a much faster, more reliable and efficient way.
