TechNews:Redirect one page to another in Blogger..!

Blogger has launched an Array of Search Engine related features and one of them is the ability to create Custom Redirects. Technically Blogger allows you to create 302 Redirects which are used to specify that the Web Page has temporarily moved to a new location.

What is a redirect ?

A visitor coming to a particular web address is redirected to another web address. This process is called Redirect. Blogger allows you to create Internal Redirects which means that you will be able to redirect the user coming to a particular URL on your blog to another URL on your Blog.

When are Blogger Redirects Useful?

Consider a situation where a page on your Blog was really popular and later you decided to delete it for some reason. Since that page is popular, references to that URL might be there at multiple Blogs/Websites which linked to you. The users coming to that popular URL will now be greeted with a 404 Page not Found Error. You might be loosing some potential readers/subscribers here. One way of resolving this would be to redirect the guy to some other relevant page. This is exactly what Blogger's Custom Redirects do.

You can also use the Blogger Redirection Tool to create short links. For example you might want to redirect yourblog.blogspot.com/yourname to  your contact page. You can do that easily using the Blogger's Redirect Tool.

How to add Redirects?

I will describe this using an Example. I had a post about Meta Tags on my Blog. This entry was made some 4 years back  and when Blogger launched the new Search Options, it became irrelevant. So I just deleted that post and made a new entry in my Blog with the new details. Now the visitors coming to that 4 year old URL from various sources would be greeted with a 404 error. I don't want that to happen but I need that user to be sent to my new Blog Post.

  1. To do a Redirect you should have 2 URLs. The first one is the URL which should be redirected to the target. The target is the second URL where the user should be redirected to.
  2. The second thing that you have to do is to get the relative paths of these URLs.e.g.: The relative path to http://www.bloggerplugins.org/2008/06/meta-tags-for-blogger-blogspot.html is  /2008/06/meta-tags-for-blogger-blogspot.html . You might have already figured out that you should remove your Blog's home page URL from the URL to get the relative path. You should also make sure that the Relative path starts with a slash (/)
  3. Similarly you have to figure out the relative path to the Target URL. I opted for/2012/03/add-meta-description-tags-to-blogger.html
  4. Once you have got these 2 Relative paths, you can do the Redirect at Settings >Search Preferences > Errors & Redirects > Custom Redirects Add the From and To Fields there and click on the Save link and then on the Save SettingsButtonCustom Redirect Settings Blogger
  5. You can add more Redirects in a similar way.

Cinema news:Glamorous Priyamani turns down Kamaal R Khan’s offer

Glamorous Priyamani turns down Kamaal R Khan's offer

Reasons for white hair growth in teen age girls:

The white hair in teenage people is commonly known as prematurely
white or grey hair. This can happen due to many reasons. To begin
with, it is possible that this is a hereditary trait. If you are a
teenage girl and are suffering from white hair, you should check out
your family tree. It is possible that one of your parents or
grandparent has had this problem at some point in time and you were
not aware of it. If you have indeed inherited the problem, it is best
for you to know straight away that you may not be able to get rid of
it altogether. The best you can do is to try a few natural remedial
measures to prevent the further whitening of dark hairs. This may
enable you to have fewer white hairs in that the quantity of white
hairs may not increase. In order to make this positive change, you
would have to follow the methods mentioned regularly. To begin with,
you should start applying the powder of black cohosh regularly to your
scalp and roots. This product is available in stores that normally
sell natural or organic products. If you cannot get this in powder
form, you can buy it in pill or capsule form and take it to improve
the quality of your hair. This will also prevent further occurrence of
white hairs.
You should also follow a weekly method of hair care. Apply warm
coconut oil to your scalp at least once a week. This will provide
nourishment and is also known to prevent the whiteness of hair. You
can also eat Indian gooseberries if you can get them fresh. If not,
you can have them in powdered or pill form. These are easily available
in Indian grocery stores. Indian gooseberries are well known to
provide rich nourishment to hair and are also know to reduce the
discoloration of hair. If you wish to dye your hair without using
chemical dyes, you can use henna powder for this purpose. Make a paste
like mixture with two tablespoons of henna powder, a teaspoon of
coffee powder and enough water to make this easy to apply to your
scalp. Remember that you will also have to apply henna to your hair
strands if you wish to color your hair with it. This is not only a
rich conditioner; it will also help to hide the white hairs you have
developed.

Japan ministers were warned of Fukushima meltdown: Report

Japan was on Saturday preparing to mark the first anniversary of its tsunami, as government papers revealed ministers were warned of the possibility of meltdowns at Fukushima just after the waves struck.

A summary of a government meeting held about four hours after a giant earthquake sent a wall of water crashing into the atomic power station showed that one unidentified participant had cautioned of the risk of a meltdown.

"If the temperature of the reactor cores rises after eight hours, there is a possibility that a meltdown will occur," the person said, according to the summary released on Friday.

Fukushima Daiichi, 220 kilometres (140 miles) northeast of Tokyo, spewed radiation after its cooling systems were knocked out by the tsunami when it crushed coastal communities and left more than 19,000 people dead or missing.

The government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) maintained for months there had been no meltdown at Fukushima, despite repeated warnings from independent experts.

They finally admitted in May that three of six reactors had suffered meltdowns.

Tens of thousands of people were made homeless by the nuclear crisis and some tracts of land inside a 20-kilometre exclusion zone are expected to be uninhabitable for decades because of radiation levels.

Solar storm not nearly as bad as could have been

 Our high-tech world seems to have easily weathered a solar storm that didn't quite live up to its advance billing.

While some experts think the threat from the solar storm passed by Thursday afternoon, space weather forecasters said it's still too early to relax. That's because there's a chance the storm's effects could continue and even intensify through Friday morning.

And while this solar storm may have fizzled, others may be lining up in the cosmic shooting gallery in the coming, days month and year, the scientists agree.

"It looks to me like it's over," NASA solar physicist David Hathaway said late Thursday afternoon, after noticing a drop in a key magnetic reading.

That conclusion is premature, said Doug Biesecker, a space scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colo., which forecasts solar storms. He pointed to an increase in a different magnetic field measurement.

Google's doodle on International Women’s Day

Google is commemorating International  Women's Day with a colourful
'doodle' made up of symbols representing women.

The well-known female gender symbol forms Google's 'G', while one of
Google's 'O's is represented by a flower.

Over 400 official events and activities are taking place around the
world in celebration of International Women's Day – an annual event
which has been observed since the early 1900s.

The theme of this year's event is: 'connecting girls, inspiring futures'.

Prime Minister David Cameron is using International Women's Day to
call for the elimination of violence and harassment against females.

He is due to sign a new European convention Cameron later today which
could lead to wolf whistling, street harassment and sexist remarks
against women being made illegal.

US President Barack Obama and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, as
well as countless celebrities, have also leant their support to
International Women's Day.
