Well, I don’t want to keep you from waiting. Here’s how you do it:

1) Login to Blogger (I preferred Blogger Draft in this example)

2) Click “Layout” on the blog you want to add the Widget

3) Click “Edit HTML”

4) Tick the “Expand Widget Templates” checkbox.

5) Search for the following code (you can use CTRL+F on your browser)
<div class=’post-outer’>

Once you found it, on the next line you should find this code <b:include data=’post’ name=’post’/>. If you found that, it means you are on the right spot.

Copy the code below and paste it right after that <b:include data=’post’ name=’post’/> code (highlighted yellow above).

<script>
fb_like = &quot;http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<b:if cond=’data:blog.url’><data:post.url/></b:if>&quot;;
document.write(&quot;<iframe scrolling=’no’ frameborder=’0′ allowTransparency=’true’ style=’border:none; margin:10px 0 0 0; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:auto;’ allowtransparency=’true’ src=’&quot;+ fb_like +&quot;’/>&quot;);
</script>

UPDATE: The above code doesn’t seem to work because copying it from here adds some funky characters in the markup. Grab it here instead:

Like the highlighted code in the screenshot.

6) Click “Save Template”

7) You’re done! Refresh your main blogger blog now and you should be able to see your new Facebook “Like” Button Widget

Got it working? Post your URL in the comments below. Cool huh?

3. Facebook is bigger than Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Turkey combined

Instructions:

1) Download the “Facebook-Like-Button-Widget.zip” file
2) Extract and upload `facebook-like-widget.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
3) Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
4) That’s it!

It should look like this

I’ve given the widget a style ID so you can target it in CSS. The id is “facebook_like”.

If you’ve installed it on your blog, please post your URL in the comments below. Thanks.

I love the look of the new Gmail buttons.

I still however dislike the fact that the “Archive” button is still beside “Report spam”.

I am also fully aware that Gmail offers an “Undo” link if you make a mistake. But sometimes, it may still be overlooked.

 
Look at the above screenshot and tell me what you think?

“Filipino developers don’t have much resources, funds and support to do research and unfortunately, they also don’t have enough training for them to excel even though Filipino developers are one of the most skilled in the global IT industry. The purpose of the summit is not only to share knowledge about PHP alone but also to inform developers of the good programming practices and other tools that would aid them in their work,” said Cherrie Ann Domingo, president of PHP User Group Philippines.

“We’re confident that Filipino developers will thrive in a competitive atmosphere because this is where their creativity and ingenuity will set them apart. By ensuring a robust software economy, we’re also able to support the development of our national economy,” said Microsoft Philippines platform strategy manager Arnie Locsin

Here’s an announcement on their site:

Yahoo! acquires Xoopit.
Xoopit is joining Yahoo! to make the world’s best email even better.

Yahoo! will be integrating both our photo sharing applications and our content indexing and discovery technology into Yahoo! Mail and other services over the coming months.

Xoopit has emerged as a leader in mail applications, indexing and content discovery. Yahoo! has recognized that Xoopit’s technology elevates photos to the forefront of people’s everyday email experiences. Mail is the original online photo sharing experience, and combining these two products results in an evolved inbox experience. Yahoo! Mail users can expect to see their mail become even more efficient, social and fun!

The Xoopit team would like to thank our users for all the support and guidance in developing a service that people love. We would also like to thank our angels and venture investors, Charles Moldow from Foundation Capital and Theresia Gouw Ranzetta from Accel Partners for wisdom and commitment along the way!

The official announcement from Yahoo! can be found here.

Dear Xoopit team, I hope you’ll never share our Gmail account information to Yahoo! Thanks and looking forward to the Yahoo! Mail integration.

Do you like Brazilian beauties like Marcella (above)? Wanna meet masters of jiu jitsu? Well, if you dig straight down from Manila and never stop, you’ll end up in Brazil. That’s according to Ze Frank. (Note: I haven’t tried it and I have no plan of trying it).

Pretty cool to know if that’s true huh? Start digging!

Bubbleshare, my first online photo sharing site is closing its doors on November 15, 2009. I think Bubbleshare was one of the first online photo sharing site that utilized AJAX and did it really well. Founded by Albert Lai, it’s his 2nd startup. The 1st one was MyDesktopNetwork which was sold in 1999. Bubbleshare was acquired by Kaboose Inc for US$ 2.3M in 2007.

Here’s Bubbleshare’s announcement today:

Dear Bubbleshare member –

As of November 15, 2009, Bubbleshare.com will no longer be available and all links to all albums and photos will cease to function (including existing links within emails, blogs, etc). To access your photos in the future you will need to download your photos prior to November 15, 2009.

To save your images to your desktop, simply click the "Download Album" link next to your albums and double click on original photos. Your photos will then be saved to your desktop.

Again, all photos and albums must be removed prior to November 15, 2009. Effective immediately, you will no longer be able to upload any new photos or albums.

We apologize for the inconvenience. It was our pleasure to assist you with your photo sharing needs.
Thank you.

Sincerely,
The Bubbleshare Team

Good luck to the Bubbleshare team. It was really fun using the free online photo sharing site.

Adobe BrowserLab is a new cool web service that helps you test your web pages across a different web browsers and operating systems.

Adobe BrowserLab currently supports Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari on both Mac and Windows XP. Just enter the website’s URL and it will take screenshots of your web page on different browsers and platforms. It displays the result using 1-up (on its own screenshot), 2-up (side by side comparison) and my favorite Onion Skin View (as shown below) where you can quickly pinpoint differences.

One awesome feature of the Onion Skin View is you can use the a slider to fade in/out of each browser screenshot. Pretty cool!

Hopefully Adobe will support more browsers and operating systems in the future.

Ha! Now all hackers need is the password (no pun intended). Clearly, this is not good. But who is to blame? Google? WordPress? Or the end-user? Quite frankly, I am not sure. But I do know that it is time to change some of those information starting with the email address associated with that account.

Also, don’t forget making your password a bit stronger/longer using uppercases, numbers and character combinations.

So, how do you get this result? Simply enter “site:en.WordPress.com “your account is now active”” or click this link.

How do you find if your username was crawled? Add your username at the end like this:
“site:WordPress.com “your account is now active” johnsmith”

I suggest you change them now. It’s better safe than sorry.

First screenshots of the new Google AdWords interface.

Do you like how it looks like? To fuel the fire, I’m using Google AdWords everyday and I can definitely say that this is a huge improvement. The new ajaxy interface gives it a desktop-app-like feel. I’ve tried loading it in Google Chrome and was blazing fast. The old interface for me was very clunky and slow. So any improvement from that is a jump ahead.

Kudos to the Google AdWords team for making this improvement. It’s really cool!
