Opera Mini 2.0

Opera just release a new version of Opera Mini. To me this is one of the greatest application ever made for a mobile phone. I mainly use it to check our e-commerce website and the occasional google surfing. One of its new feature that I will definitely use is its ability to download files directly to the phone, now I can download images from our online store whenever I need to know what an Item looks like. Here are the new features in Opera Mini 2.0:

- Content download: Download images, MP3s, etc. directly to the phone.

- New skins: Make Opera Mini your own by selecting from several new and bold skins to suit your mood.

- Multisearch: Opera Mini offers advanced searching functionality by allowing users to select extra search engines for the home page.

- Speed dial: Bookmarks displayed on the home page are assigned a shortcut key combination, giving users faster and easier access to their favorite sites.

- Visual navigation: Quick and smooth horizontal panning when browsing backwards or forwards.

Add Your Blogger.com Blog to Google Sitemap


Google Sitemaps helps you in submitting your site to Google Index. Basically its just a way of informing googlebot what's in your site and where to crawl thus helping you get more traffic to your site. When Google Sitemaps appeared I immediately signed-up for it just to find out that I can't use it using Blogger.com/Blogspot.com because you need to put the xml file at the server root which we blogger user don't have access to.

But now that has change. You can add you blog to Google Sitemap by just submitting your blog's feed to Google Sitemap.

1. Login to Google Sitemaps
2. Add your site
3. Once your site is added click "Add a Sitemap"
4. Choose "Add General Web Sitemap"
5. Check all the boxes and add your site's feed.
Example: http://yourblog.blogspot.com/atom.xml
6. Then go back to "My Site" once there click "verify"
7. Choose "Add META Tag" as a verification method
8. Copy the META tag listed below and paste it in your site's home page in the first <HEAD> section of the page, before the first <BODY> section. Save template and republish.
9. Then click "Verify" again and that's it, your blog is now successfully submitted to Google Sitemaps.
