0 HOW TO EDIT POSTS IN THE “NEW BLOGGER INTERFACE”.

The fact that the “New blogger interface” has been around for a while now can't be disputed.
After so many notifications from Google,it was finally disabled late last-month despite mixed feelings about it.

Myself as a person,I didn't want to believe that the “Old interface” was gone forever,making it very difficult for mobile users to manage their blogs.

Of a fact,the New interface is not suitable for a beginner to play with because its just so complicated and hard to use. Infact,there were cases of accidentally deleted blogs,and the inability to edit posts makes it worse.

But luckily,while carrying out some tests on maybe I could edit my posts,I came-up with a solution;Though,much more stressful than the way it was with the Old Dashboard.

Here's How...

Login to Blogger »» Posts.
Next,navigate to the post you want to edit and get its url.
E.g In UCBrowser,click on “1” then scroll down to select “Page Info”(as seen in the image below) and finally copy the address in “Link Address”.

Once you've gotten the post link,it will look like this ↓
http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5582915502189979689#editor/target=post;postID=372835895764398957;onPublishedMenu=publishedposts;onClosedMenu=publishedposts;postNum=4;src=postname

Now,delete the following from the address you get
;onPublishedMenu=publishedposts;onClosedMenu=publishedposts;postNum=4;src=postname and Copy-Paste it in your browser's address-bar.

UPDATE!(17-02-2013)

I just discovered without deleting the preceding text from the derived url,i.e onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=50;src=postname,the trick still works perfect.
So just get the post's url and paste in your browser's address bar.

That's all.
Kindly leave your comments,suggestions and questions behind!!!.

0 HOW TO LOCK AND UNLOCK MOBILE PHONES WITH FINGERPRINT.

Here's another great application with which you can secure your mobile phone.

It allows you to lock and unlock your mobile phone by just placing a finger on it.

Though literally,the software doesn't scan and save your finger-print,it locks and unlock based on the number of beeps you set in the application's settings when ANY finger is placed on it.

How Does It Work?

Like I mentioned above,the software will be set to a certain number of beeps which only you must know for security reasons.

Once the beeping is matched,will automatically unlock itself.
NOTE »
This software works on only Symbian touch-screen phones.

TIPS.
Set the beeps to a number you can easily remember and hard for others to guess.
E.g Do not set the beep to the number of letters in your name coz anyone can easily guess that.
