Blogger.com enables new option custom permalink option for bloggers

Blogger.com's New Custom Permalink

What does a permalink really means?

A permalink is a URL that points to a specific blog or forum entry after it has passed from the front page to the archives.Because a permalink remains unchanged indefinitely,it is less susceptible to link rot. Most modern  web-blogging and content-syndication software systems support such links.

Blogger.com had just revealed a new way of giving  your post with the Custom URL feature.

The much requested and eagerly awaited custom permalink (custom post URL) for Blogger (blogspot) has finally arrived. However you need to sign in at the Blogger in Draft (blogger.com) instead of the usual www.blogger.com.

Before or till now if you didn't use the custom permalink option your link is published like as follows:

your-blog.blogspot.com/2012/07/post-title.html

This is really a good news to all bloggers on Blogger.com, before this, you can only find this on a self hosted blogs.

You will have no control on the permalink other than by choosing the words for your post title. There is also a limit to the number of characters in the permalink. Thus, if you have a very long post title, the last few words will be left out of the permalink.

You can find this on right just down schedule option (see the image)

Now I will show you how and what to do ?
For example I am going to make this post permalink www.o-beat-computing.blogspot.com/2012/07permalink-blogger.html

You can what the was link before.

As I said before you can change only post title in the link.

Thats all done check it in the address bar.  :)

Disable YouTube Video Autoplay

As video junkies would attest to, sometimes you want to open more than just one video at the same time, to let the video load up first before you play it one shot.

And those who use this tactic would understand how annoying it is for a video to auto play when buffering has yet to complete, especially when you have several loading and you have no idea which tab is playing and which is not. This article will introduce to you a few browser extensions to help you stop the Youtube auto play feature.

Stop Youtube Autoplay On Chrome

If you are using Chrome browser, head over to get the Stop Autoplay For Youtube chrome extension. Add to Chrome.

Once the installation complete, it just works! Open any Youtube video from your Chrome browser and you will see that the video would not play until it is fully loaded.

Click To Load And Play

If you prefer to be in control and only let a video play only when you want it to, you can choose to activate "Click to play" on your browser. This works with your Opera and Chrome browsers.

1.Chrome

If you are on Chrome browser, type chrome://chrome/settings/content in the address bar and enter. After the settings page appear, scroll down and look for the Plug-ins section, and change the option to Click to Play.

2.Opera

Now go to Advanced tab, look for the Content section at the left bar, check option for Enable plug-ins only on demand then click OK.

With all this set in Opera and Chrome, whenever you open a new video on Youtube, it will not load nor will it play, until you click the big button on the video screen.

3.Firefox

For Firefox, go to Tubestop extension page and install the extension to your browser.

Once installation is complete, all videos will not be played or loaded, until you click on the link on the video screen.
