Dolphin Browser HD

Somewhere in mid-Feb, I have decided to uninstall Dolphin Browser HD.

And no, it is not because it is causing my Android Phone to crash or hang, or reboot. It is not that. It actually functioned very nicely, where searches are carried out accurately, but comparing with Firefox, especially when downloads are involved, this is where I find that Dolphin Browser HD sometimes work, and sometimes not.

I didn't see this happening in Firefox, but in several cases, it did happen for Dolphin Browser HD.

And it is for this reason alone that I am uninstalling Dolphin Browser HD. Other than that, I don't have any issue with it.

I hope that I have given this android app a fair chance.

Till then!

I guess this is one long overdue post.

I mean whenever I browse the web and search for Zemanta for Flock, I always see those angry and frustrated people like me, who wanted the old Flock (Flock 2.6.1, or 2.6.2) with the magical Zemanta add-on, which is really magical when you are into blogging.

You know what Zemanta can do for you, so when it’s gone, the horror!

I have come across the same problem myself, which is one major reason why I am not ‘killing’ my other PC, the old XP machine, which holds the magical duo Flock 2.6.1 and Zemanta. I hold this PC from being migrated to Windows 7 because of that.

But now, there’s no holding back. I have searched long and hard, and have found how to get the magical duo into any other PC.

There are many sources, but one singular site I can recommend for getting Flock 2.6.1 is FileHippo.com; and there are many sources for Zemanta 0.7.1, many of which are bogus sites, telling you they have, but offering something else. Fortunately, the source I found is very reliable as well. And why not, it is the same add-on that works for Google’s Chrome browser.

So there you go:

Flock 2.6.1, get from FileHippo.com.
Zemanta 0.7.1, get from Mozilla Add-Ons Page.

Well, the links I have provided, so hopefully, you’ll get them right away.

Happy blogging!

3 Blog Editors - What Have You?

I was searching for some blog editors, and this page came up.

I said, "Finally, this should be some good and useful blog editors."

I quickly opened up the page, and lo, and behold, what I found surprised me!

Yes, there were 3 recommended blog editors, and these I am already using.

I think I should be really using what I have, and stop searching for other blog editors - for now.

The search will go on - technology is continually improving, and for sure, there will be newer and better blog editors. Who knows, the current ones will be improved or enhanced to an astonishing degree?!

These are they:

The other guy who said about the 3 editors, see his article here: 3 Blog Editors . Check it out.

Which one do you use?

Test post using ScribeFire in Chrome

Image via Wikipedia

I got the news from the mail that ScribeFire for Chrome is on the alpha version, and is needing testing.

So here I am testing that alpha version.

It turns out that you need to specify the URL of your blog, then furnish the user info, which means you have to do log-in. I think that is OK if you are only posting to a single blog. If you are posting to multiple blogs, what will happen? You will have to log-in to all those blogs.

If you have 10 blogs and you want to post to those 10 blogs, does it mean that you will have to open up 10 tabs in the Chrome browser so you can post to each single blog?

That is what I want to find out.

The font formatting works just fine, as you can see.

Care to join in the testing?
