How To Request And Transfer Mobile Balance From One Phone To Another


If you are running (or already ran) out of balance in your mobile phone and can’t find any shop from where you can get your mobile phone recharged or if you don’t have enough money by which you can get your mobile phone recharge then you can send a free SMS to any of your friends or relative by requesting for balance transfer to your mobile number.

Transfer Mobile Balance

Most of the telecom services provides in India lets you transfer certain amount of balance from one mobile to another mobile, but both of them should be prepaid numbers and should belong to same telecom services provider. Who will be sending the balance will be charged between 1 and 3 depending upon the amount s/he will be sending and also depending upon which service provider you both are using.

To Request For Balance

Vodafone (Hutch): *132*A*N#
Airtel: Call *141# and follow the instruction
Docomo: N/A
Idea: SMS ASK N A to 55567
Aircel: *122*666# and follow the instruction
Uninor: *201*N*A#
BSNL: N/A
*Replace A with the amount (from Rs.5 to Rs.30) you are going to request and N with the mobile number from whom (your friends or relative) you are going to request.

To Transfer Balance

Vodafone (Hutch): *131*A*N#
Airtel: Call *141# and follow the instruction
Docomo: SMS BT N A to 54321
Idea: SMS GIVE N A to 55567
Aircel: *122*666# and follow the instruction
Uninor: *202*N*A#
BSNL: SMS GIFT N A to 53733
*Replace A with the amount (from Rs.5 to Rs.30) you are going to send and N with the mobile number to whom you are going to send.
You will not be charged for requesting balance from anyone, both donor and receiver should complete at-least 30 or 60 days with their service provider (depending on which network you are using). I am not sure about how we can do in these services (BPL, MTNL , Reliance, Smart, Spice, Tata Indicom and Virgin) so if you know then please do let us know by commenting below.

How to change fluid width wordpress theme to fixed theme?



wordpress theme designFrom last five years, I had been using fluid widthtemplates on my websites. Recently, I decided to change my fluid width Wordpress theme to fixed theme. Majority of web designers prefer fixed layouts to fluid ones because they give the assurance that what the designer sees, the user sees. Fixed templates are also easier to edit and customize in terms of design. Since widths are the same for every browser, so you can set some fixed standards for images, website forms, video and other content. The length of the web pages stays constant no matter how wide the viewer’s browser window is. I have fixed my website on the assumption that today, majority of Internet users have a screen resolution of 1024×768 or higher.
Let’s see how to change fluid width wordpress theme to fixed theme. It is very simple and involves two straightforward steps.
Just create a div called, say “boxer”, and add this to style.css:
#boxer {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 960px;
}
Add <div id=”boxer”> just after <body> in your header.php and </div> just before </body> in your footer.php
I will recommend 960px,if you want to optimize your website for 1024×768 screen resolution as it’s slightly smaller than full width, and it’s divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, and 16 and also 960-pixel-wide layout is the most popular, and most standard, fixed width layout on internet and is not going to decline soon.

How to Install WordPress on your Computer In 5 Minutes


You don’t have to be a geek to install WordPress on your own computer because the process is as simple as installing any other native Windows Application (e.g. Microsoft Office).
install wordpress on windowsBefore we get into the actual installation process, let’s look at some reasons why you may want to install a copy of WordPress on your local computer:
#1. You have to buy a web domain and space on a web server to host your WordPress software online. These are however not required if you decide to run WordPress in a local environment.
#2. Even if you have a website and web hosting space, you may still want to run a copy of WordPress on the local computer as it will help you test out new WordPress themes, plug-ins and other tweaks much faster.
#3. Most WordPress hosts offer Linux based servers but with WordPress installed locally, you can try out the features of this powerful blogging software in a more familiar Windows environment.

How to Setup WordPress on your Computer

Though it takes only a couple of easy steps to install the main WordPress software, it can be a bit tricky to install the different services that are required to run WordPress – these include PHP and MySQL. And then you have to manually edit a few files in order to get everything to work.
Luckily, there’s a much simpler solution in town. You can use Microsoft’s Web Platform Installer and, with a few clicks, you will be running a full WordPress install on your computer without doing any complex stuff.
Microsoft Web Platform Installer is a free product designed to make it easy for you to develop and run websites on your Windows PC. It provides a simple wizard where you select the software that you wish to run on your computer, and the installer will automatically select the other programs that are necessary to run to software you just selected (in our case, WordPress). The installer is web-based and it will only download the stuff that you want.
Web Installer Choose Blogs - WordPress Installer - WordPress
To install WordPress, run the Web Platform Installer, click the “Web Applications” tab on the left side, and then select the “Blogs” tab underneath it. The entries are listed by default in alphabetical order, so you can scroll down to the bottom to find WordPress.
Once you have selected WordPress, click “Install” at the bottom of the window, and all the other tools needed by WordPress such as PHP and MySQL will be automatically added to the install list.
Once the basic installation is done, you will be asked for specific information about your website. On the first screen, you may simply leave the default values, or if you have specific needs then you can change then as your needs require. On the second screen, you will be asked to enter passwords for the database administrator and the WordPress database.
Add password for MySQL Installing WordPress Enter Website Information
Enter Application-Database Information Finish installation of your web applications Installation finished
You also be asked to enter passphrases to make your passwords more secure, though you don’t have to. The default options, again, are usually correct, but you can change them if you would like. Click “Continue,” and the Web Platform will finish the instillation.

Create a New WordPress Blog on your Computer

When everything is installed, you can click the link at the top that says “Launch WordPress,” and your fresh WordPress install will open in the default browser.
Wordpress - first screen Wordpress username and password Wordpress - login screen
Now enter a name and password for your website, and click the “Install WordPress” button. WordPress will assign a new username (admin) and random password to you – copy this password to the clipboard and then click “Log in.” Enter your username (which is admin by default) and the random password from the clipboard, and log in. WordPress will show you a reminder to change the default admin password, and you’re done!
Wordpress Dashboard at first login - change password
You can now free to tweak WordPress as much as you like. To access your local WordPress site in the future, simply enter “http://localhost/wordpress/wp-login.php” in the address bar of your favorite web browser.
So long to the days of installing numerous services and configuring complicated files to install WordPress. Now WordPress is almost as easy to install as Microsoft Office! And if it wasn’t for the download time, it just might be a true 5 minute install!

How to Find Almost Anything on your Computer with Windows Search


The built-in desktop search tool is one of my favorite features of Windows. Unlike Google Instant, Windows Desktop Search cannot predict queries in advance but it can find you relevant documents, e-mails, programs and other files almost as fast as you can type characters in the search box.

Windows search can be accessed from a variety of places on your computer. This includes the Windows Start Menu, Windows Explorer or press the “Windows key + F” to open a standalone search window. The latter option is more useful as it offers hints as you type and thus you can easily construct complex search queries without knowing the exact syntax.

Use Windows Desktop Search like a Pro

Windows Search supports simple operators to help you narrow down search results and find the exact file or email message that you’re looking for. Some real-world examples:
1. Find presentations (ppt files) that contain a particular word.
ext:ppt sales {Search for the word “sales” in file names as well the content of documents}
ext:ppt filename:sales {Search only file names, don’t look inside the file content}
2. Find documents that were created or modified this week.
ext:doc date:this week {replace doc with xls, ppt, etc. for other file types}
In addition to “this week”, you may use values like today, yesterday, last week, past month or even “a long ago” with the date: search operator. It also works with date ranges as in the following examples.
date:13-‎09-‎2010..‎24-‎09-‎2010 {find files added /modified in this date range}
kind:pictures date:>23-09-2010 {find all photographs that were captured after this day}
3. Find files that are taking lot of space on your system.
The following search query will instantly find gigantic video files that are larger than 128 MB in size. If you replace the value “gigantic” with “empty”, you’ll see all the files are 0 KB in size.
size:gigantic kind:video {find large video files like mp4, mov, wmv, avi, etc.}
size:>500MB {all files that are larger than .5 GB}
size:500MB..800Mb {find files that are in this particular size range}
4. Find files within a specific folder.
Windows Desktop Search, by default, will find files across all folders that have been added to the search index. If your search results are cluttered due to this, you can quickly narrow them down to select folders as in the following examples:
todo folder:documents {search your My Documents folders}
folder:desktop ext:pdf date:today {find PDF documents that you saved today}
adobe setup.ini folder:c:\program files {search a file in Adobe’s installation folders}
5. Find Emails with Windows Search
Other than documents and files, Windows Search is an excellent tool for searching your Outlook emails and it works more or less like search commands in Gmail. Some examples:
from:aryaman date:this week {find emails from Aryaman that you received this week}
isread:false importance:high {find all your important but still unread emails}
hasattachment:true size:>5mb {find emails with bulky attachments}

subject:”credit card” from:bank.com {find all Credit Card related emails from the bank}
These are just a few useful examples but you should also check out MSDN for a complete list of advanced search operators that are supported by Windows Desktop Search.
Also, if you have trouble getting your files or your emails in the search results, chances are that you have not added the locations to your Windows Search Index. Go to Control Panel –> Indexing Options and modify your Indexed Locations.
