[+/-] : [Mac 好站] MacUKnow

近日發現了一個很棒的 Mac 教學網站-- MacUKnow。這是一個由 stanley 發起建置的蘋果圈 教學／新知 網站，內容依 新手／進階 程度而有不同的教學文章，我在裏面翻了翻，發現不少好用的 Mac OSX 密技，以及實用的軟體應用，例如：

• Mac上如何播放Divx，並掛載中文字幕


• 如何在 iWork 的 Keynote 中做到圖片去背景


• 三種方法輕鬆備份你的蘋果電腦

這些教學有些解決困擾我許久的問題，有些是我不知道的軟體應用，整個瀏覽下來的感覺很棒，有「為何不早點出現！」的感慨。我已註冊加入會員，希望不久的將來，我也可以分享一些我的 Mac 使用經驗。

歡迎蘋果圈舊雨新知，多多光臨 MacUKnow，給作者打氣，也大力鼓吹 PC 使用者轉換平台，不用怕在 Mac 世界不知所措，因為 MacUKnow 的存在，這將永遠不會是個問題。

[+/-] : Blogger 的「文章一覽」功能

昨天發現了一個實用也很炫的 Blogger hack: BlogToC Widget. 這是一個 Blooger 限定的 hack, 它可以提供一張清單，列出你所有的 post, 可以依照時間排列，或是照字母，或是依 label 來列出文章，這功能對讀者非常有用。節錄 Beautiful Beta的說明:

• You can sort the TOC by Post Title by clicking the column header. Click it again, and it is sorted in reversed order.


• The same way if you want to sort the posts by date: newest first, or oldest first.


• And by clicking on one of the labels in the TOC filters all posts with that label.


• Click the column header to return to the full ToC.

很棒吧～趕快來試試！ （請按右邊的 Show Table of Content）

Thank you Hans for this great widget.

[+/-] : 訪客留言板上線囉～

最近一直在找可用的留言板版型，用 Google 搜尋可以找到一堆，但不是不容易用，就是不太好看。後來我在幾位 Blogger 同好的網頁上發現 Cbox，一個客製化且易用的 message board，其介面還有中文的選項，真不錯。現在我就將這個 Message Board 加入到右邊側欄，各位朋友，路人, anyone，都可以在我的網站上留言。留言方法很簡單，只要留下 name, email/URL, message，按 Go 就可以 post 了，我丟了幾則留言作為示範，歡迎大家有空多來聊聊。

另外做個預告，我的 blog 更新到 Blogger 新版，並加入一些有趣的小東西，這些都是我在網路上找到的，除了功用佳之外，還能替 blog 增色不少。有空再跟大家一一介紹囉～

ps. 這些 update/hacks 都是針對 Blogger 的使用者，如果你也是 Blogger 愛用者，歡迎一起交流交流。

[+/-] : 回頁首‧回章首

Beautiful Beta: Blog Navigation: Top of Page and Top of Post

Check this out! I just found a very useful and interesting hack about Blogger. You can find there are two more links at my post footer: 「回頁首」and 「回章首」. You can try it to see what will happen after clicking.

See? 「回頁首」means "to scroll up to the top of the page." 「回章首」means "to scroll up to the top of this post." I think this is a very cool hack you can apply on your Blogger. The trick is simple, you just need two things:

• Peek-A-Boo Post Hack (see here)


• the code to add this "Scroll to top" hack. (see below)
  
  

  1. Be sure you have installed the Peek-A-Boo hack for Non Beta.
  2. Add the following code to the post footer:
  
  <a href='javascript:scroll(0,0)' title='Scroll to top of this page'>Top of Page</a> <a href="javascript:document.getElementById
  ('<$BlogItemNumber$>1').scrollIntoView(true);" title='Scroll to top of post'>Top of Post</a>

Or, you can click on the link at the top of this post for more information at Hans Blog

Try it now!!...

[+/-] : test expandable post

this is a test post. Test the function of Super Peek-A-Boo post.
something goes into here ....

If you can see this message, the Super Peek-A-Boo post functions well. I got the code from Hans' blog. In his blog, he explained step by step about how to make your post as an expandable message. You can also visit Heckosphere if you use Blogger Beta.

The Peek-A-Boo function is very useful when your post is quite long. You can click the link below the "summary post" to expand the full message. And the beauty is you won't be directed to a new page to show the full message. You just stay on the main page. So you can fold up the longer message and watch other posts without fooling around the back-and-forth buttons of the browser.

Sounds great? Try it now.

[+/-] : Blogger Calendar

It had been few days before I found the solution of putting a calender on my sidebar. Today, finally, I found a great solution from Romka's Travellers Notes. This is a great calender that can trace your posts and link them when visitors click on them. It is a convenient navigating tool for everyone. I don't know why the Blogger doesn't include the Calendar function in their default template. Anyway, I got my solution, and maybe this post is helpful for someone facing same problems as I have.


Thank you very much, Romka !

[+/-] : Flickr Badge

As you may notice, I add a Flickr Badge on my side bar. I created an account in Flickr, and put a lot of photos from me. I set up quite a few photo albums that can only be shared between friends and family. Right now I haven't sent out the invitation emails to make any of you, who are interested, having the right to visit the private photos. I will give you the permission when I finish the dirty organization works. (Here is another excuse for the lazy guy, ME.)

Now, just enjoy the beautiful UW scenery.
