Cool NAVIGATION BAR for blogger
Navigation bar is a set of links to other Web pages in a Web site. For example, navigation bars are usually located across the top or down the side of a page and contain direct links to the major sections within the Web site. Navigation bars can be automatically maintained and generated by using Web Site Designer.
Navigation bars really help the visitor to access different pages of the website while remaining on the same page. It makes the accessibility easier to the visitors. It often happens that some good Blogger templates don’t have navigation bar. It generates a reason to discard the template. Well, don’t worry I have a great way to design a Blogger Navigation Bar for your Blog. Just follow the steps and enjoy a COOL Navigation Bar.
steps:
- Login to your blogger Account
- Navigate: layout>Edit HTML
- Mark Check Box “expand widget”
- Find the code ]]></b:skin>
- Just before this code place the following CSS code
#top_bar {height:32px; background:transparent ; width:auto;}
#top_bar p{border:0; margin:0; padding:0; margin:0 auto; width:960px;}
#top_bar a:link, #top_bar a:visited{display:block; float:left; border-right:solid 1px #7FABC4; padding:0 10px; color:#FFFFFF; font-size:11px; height:20px; line-height:20px; margin-top:6px;}
6. Now you are required to place the following code snippet where ever you want to place the Navigation bar ( generally it’s placed below the header section")
<div id='top_bar'><p>
<a class='tabbed-bar' href=’#’>NAME</a>
<a class='tabbed-bar' href=’#’>NAME</a>
<a class='tabbed-bar' href=’#’>NAME</a>
<a class='tabbed-bar' href=’#’>NAME</a>
<a class='tabbed-bar' href='#’>NAME</a>
</p></div>
Replace '”#” with the link you want and replace “NAME’ with the Web page name
NOTE: Before doing this make sure to take a backup of the template you are previously using.

Save Your e-Mail Accounts From Being Hacked
Today in this post I’ll you all know how to prevent Email accounts from being hacked. Nowadays it’s a common complain that “my account has been hacked, what should I do?” The single answer to these two questions is “be careful from getting befooled” . It is neither easy to hack an email nor difficult to protect an email account from being hacked.
What are the reasons many people lose their accounts?
The answer is very straightforward. They don’t know how to protect themselves from being hacked! In fact most of the people who loose their email accounts are not the victims of hacking but the victims of Trapping. They loose their passwords not because they are hacked by some expert hackers but they are fooled to such an extent that they themselves give away their password.
Its mentioned below about some of the most commonly used online scams which fool people and make them loose their passwords. Solutions are mentioned too.
1. BY USING KEYLOGGERS
The other commonly used method to steal password is by using a Keylogger. A Keylogger is nothing but a spyware. If you just access your email account from a computer installed with keylogger, you definitely loose your password. This is because the keylogger records each and every keystroke that you type.
Solution:
Protecting yourselves from a keylogger scam is very simple. Just install a good anti-spyware program and update it regularly. This keeps your PC secure from a keylogger. Also there is a program called Anti-keylogger which is specially designed to detect and remove keyloggers. You can use this program to detect some stealth keyloggers which remain undetected by many anti-spyware programs.
2. WEBSITE SPOOFING
Website spoofing is the act of creating a website, with the intention of misleading the readers. The website will be created by a different person especially for the purposes of cheating. Normally, the website will adopt the design of the target website and sometimes has a similar URL.
For example a Spoofed Website of gmail.com appears exactly same as Gmail Website. So most of the people believe that it is the original site and loose their passwords. The main intention of spoofed websites is to fool users and take away their passwords. For this,the spoofed sites offer fake login pages. These fake login pages resemble the original login pages of sites like Yahoo,Gmail,Orkut etc. Since it resemble’s the original login page people believe that it is true and give away their username and passwords by trying to login to their accounts.
Solution:
• Always type the URL of the site in the address bar to get into the site.Never click on the hyperlink to enter the site.
• Never try to login/access your email account from the sites other than the original site.
3. ACCESSING YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT FROM CYBER CAFES
If you access your email account from cyber cafes, then definitely you are under the risk of loosing your password. In fact many people loose their email account in cyber cafes. For the owner of the cyber cafe it’s just a cakewalk to steal your password. For this he just need’s to install a keylogger on his computers. So when you login to your email account from this PC, you give away your password to the cafe owner. Also there are many Remote Administration Tools (RATs) which can be used to monitor your browsing activities in real time.
This doesn’t mean that you should never use cyber cafes for browsing the internet. I know, not all the cyber cafe owners will be so wicked but it is recommended not to use cafes for accessing confidential information. If it comes to the matter of security never trust anyone, not even your friend. I always use my own PC to login to my accounts to ensure safety.
