Download Internet Explorer 9 Beta for Windows 7

Posted on September 17, 2010 by Zubair Naeem Paracha

Microsoft has released beta of Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7. There have had been many expectations from this version and at first glance, it really appealed me. But visiting my own blog on the IE9 was not a good news for me.

Internet Explorer 9 Beta

The reason for that is clear in this screen shot. I cannot see navigation of my blog that is in images. It works absolutely fine with IE8, Firefox & Chrome. So, In IE9 it is definitely a result of some bug. I hope it gets fixed in the next release. This first beta has got many more bugs as well so try it at your own risk.

You can download the Internet Explorer 9 Beta from http://www.beautyoftheweb.com/.

If you use it, please share your experience in comments.

How to show Post Excerpts/Summary in WordPress using a Plugin

Posted on September 11, 2010 by Zubair Naeem Paracha

You must have noticed that I have changed the theme recently. The theme I had previously had this function of showing post summary on the homepage. But the one I have now was showing complete posts on the home page and I didn’t like it so I started looking around for an easy way to fix it. I didn’t want to use the more tag because for that I’d have had to change each and every post. While searching for a better option, I came across this great plugin called Advanced Excerpt.

With this plugin, you can increase or decrease the excerpt  using character or word count. You may also keep the links with many other tags.

To make this plugin work for you, please follow these instructions.

1) Download Advanced Excerpt from WordPress Plugin Directory.
2) Upload it to the plugins folder in your website.
3) Activate it from the Admin Panel of your Blog.
4) Go to Theme Editor in Admin Panel.
5) You will have to edit index.php, category.php, search.php, archives.php.
6) Find and replace <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?> with <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
7) Now go to Excerpt in Settings tab to change the options of plugin and you are done.

If you cannot manage to install it, please post in comments with detailed problem and I’ll try to help you.

What is Google Instant Search

Posted on September 9, 2010 by Zubair Naeem Paracha

Earlier, I posted How to Disable Google Instant Search but now I have realized people have more basic questions in their mind about this huge change and one of the most basic question is that What it is exactly.

Google Instant Search result basically shows the search results as you type and also predicts that what you are search for. According to Google, this feature uses a combination of more than 15 new technologies to show the predicted search terms in a drop down box and search results below that drop down box.

I love Google

While you type, both the predicted search terms and search results change.

Google has mentioned three benefits of Instant search which includes faster searches, smarter predictions and instant search results.

What do you think about this new feature that will change the way we search? Please share in comments below.

How to Disable Google Instant Search

Posted on September 9, 2010 by Zubair Naeem Paracha

Google earlier today started rolling out the Instant Search feature which shows search results in real time. This feature has not come as a good news for many users and they are already looking for options to disable it and for that they should be thankful of Google which gives all its users a great liberty to disable this feature with two clicks.

When you’re searching for anything, there would an option appear next to your search ‘Instant is on’. Click on it and select Off and you are done. Now you can Google things the way you used to.

Google Instant Search

Happy Googling :)
