Google now allows users to mute "reminder ads" under 'Mute This Ad' feature

Google has added a new feature to its 'Mute This Ad' feature, which allows users to mute reminder ads. The new option will be visible as a new control in Ad Settings and will sync across devices, which means if a user mutes an ad on their smartphone, it will also be muted while surfing the web on their laptop. As per Google's blog post, the new tool will allow users to exercise more control over the ads they view along with more transparency.In layman terms, reminder ads follow a user across sites to remind them of buying the item which they added to cart but didn't check out. Giving an example of the ad, Google said, "You visit Snow Boot Co.'s website, add a pair of boots to your shopping cart, but you don't buy them because you want to keep looking around. The next time that you're shopping online, Snow Boot Co. might show you ads that encourage you to come back to their site and buy those boots. Reminder ads like these can be useful, but if you aren't shopping for Snow Boot Co.'s boots anymore, then you don't need a reminder about them. A new control within Ads Settings will enable you to mute Snow Boot Co.'s reminder ads."

How to Add a Pinterest Hover Button to your Blogger Images

Update September 20, 2016: The developer of the code mentioned in this blog article updated the code on September 18. If your hover buttons recently stopped working, make sure you update your blog template with the updated code.

Make it easy for your blog visitors to Pin your images — and add a Pinterest hover button to your Blogger images! What's a "hover button"? It's a button that appears when you put your mouse  over an image. Go ahead and test it out on this image below. Clicking on the pink Pinterest button that appears in the middle of the image will allow you to pin this image to your Pinterest boards.

How to Add a Pinterest Hover Button to Blogger Images

Here are the instructions for Blogger blogs. (This doesn't work on Blogger's Dynamic Views templates or on mobile templates.) For self-hosted WordPress blogs (aka wordpress.org blogs), see this post: How to Add a Pinterest Hover Button to your WordPress Images.

NOTE: This requires editing your Blogger template. Before proceeding with the instructions below, I recommend that you backup your Blogger template first!

  1. In your Blogger Dashboard click on Template and then Edit HTML.
  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the code and find this line:   
  3. Copy this code from BloggerSentral and paste it into your template code right above the  code.
  4. Click the "Save Template" button.
  5. Click the "Close" button.

Now view one of your blog posts and you should see a red Pin It button appear on top of your images when you put your mouse pointer over an image. You can call it quits now — or we can customize things a bit…

USE A CUSTOM PIN IT IMAGE:

Download a Pinterest Icon to your computer or create your own. (You can get my Free Pinterest Buttons for your Blog here – and here – and here!) Then upload your image to an external website such as Photobucket (and skip to step #5 below) – or you can upload it right to your Blogger blog:

  1. Create a new post.
  2. Add your Pinterest icon to the post.
  3. Once you see the image in your post, click the HTML button (top left corner). Now you will see the HTML code of the post. Look for the image code. It will start with  and will include src= followed by a URL in quotes, similar to the yellow highlighted line shown in the image below. (Click the image to view a larger version of it.) Copy the URL that is in the quotes after src= (see the red underlined text in the image below); this is the URL of your image.
    Custom Image in Blogger

    Using a Custom Image for Your Pinterest Hover Image in Blogger

  4. Do not publish this post. The sole purpose of this new post is to store your image on Blogger. I recommend saving the post as a draft just in case you forget the URL. However, you can delete this post if you want to, since the image will still stay on Blogger's web server.
  5. Now go back to your template's HTML code (Template > Edit HTML) and find this code: 
    var bs_pinButtonURL = "https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPMV-9HkrHp0scIqLKnS7O3yoF4w2Nigq830zL9f3wjEHEqsUBcaj8x2G8z-1H0gN8AuROeeAgN31rxeK_fAYg8CxmOG330BGknbrtPnGfWrdo4rVMMTb1R1nxxro4mL-8hvmFTnJ3vwIX/s1600/pinterestx1_72.png"; 
    and replace the URL in the quotes (in red above) with the URL of your image.
  6. Click the "Save Template" button.
  7. Click the "Close" button.

 CHANGE THE POSITION OF THE PIN IT BUTTON:

By default the Pin In button will appear in the center of your image. If you prefer that it appears in the corner of your images instead, you can easily do that. Simply find this line of code in your template's HTML code (Template > Edit HTML)
var bs_pinButtonPos = "center"; 
and replace "center" with one of these positions:

  • topleft
  • topright
  • bottomleft
  • bottomright

If you want to offset the Pinterest Button from the corner of your image so there is a little space between the button and the corner of the image, you can add some CSS code to the section of your template (Template > Edit HTML)
.pinit-wrapper margin:-10px; 
(The negative value for the margin pushes the button inwards.) For example, see the yellow highlighted code in the image below:

Adding Space Around Your Pinterest Hover Image in the Corner

Hidden writing in ancient desert monastery manuscripts

For a monk who lives in the Sinai desert in Egypt, in the world's oldest working monastery, Father Justin replies to emails very speedily.

It should come as no surprise: the Greek Orthodox monk is in charge of hauling. the library at St Catherine's into the 21st Century.


This ancient collection of liturgical texts, including some of the earliest Christian writing and second in size only to the Vatican, is going to be made available online for scholars all over the world.

The manuscripts, kept in a newly-renovated building which was opened to the public in December 2017, are now the subject of hi-tech academic detective work.

East meeting West
A team of scientists and photographers working alongside Fr Justin has been using multi-spectral imaging to reveal passages hidden beneath the manuscripts' visible text.

These include early medical guides, obscure ancient languages, and illuminating biblical revisions.


Among the researchers is Michelle P Brown, professor emerita of medieval manuscript studies at the University of London.

Samsung SDI to Develop the Industry's First wVGA OLED Panel.

PenTile RGB Technology from Clairvoyante, Inc. Makes It Possible toOvercome Performance and Manufacturing Challenges Typical ofHigh-Resolution OLED PanelsCUPERTINO, Calif. & SEOUL, South Korea -- Samsung SDI willproduce the world's first high-resolution active matrix organiclight emitting diode (AMOLED) panel, using PenTile[R] subpixel rendering technology from Clairvoyante, Inc. By incorporating Clairvoyante'sPenTile RGB technology, Samsung SDI is able to develop the firsthandheld wVGA (480 x 800) OLED PenTile RGB panel, overcoming themanufacturing and performance challenges that have previouslycomplicated high-resolution OLED production.At 3.08-inch diagonal, this first wVGA OLED panel will optimizeemerging applications for handheld Web browsers, GPS and video, whereexceptional detail and viewability is required. Samsung SDI OLEDtechnology can result in the industry's thinnest packages formobile applications and produces power-efficient displays withextraordinary viewing characteristics.Currently, OLEDs are available in display formats only up to qVGA(240 x 320). Until now, OLED manufacturers have been challenged toachieve formats of greater than qVGA that also retain the lifetime andperformance necessary for the handheld market. PenTile technology makesit possible to attain this improved performance by eliminating one-thirdof the subpixels while maintaining the same display resolution.Samsung SDI anticipates a strong future for OLED technology,recently investing in additional capacity to support new demand.Industry research group Display Search shares this optimism, predictingthat the AMOLED market to grow to US$5.58 billion by 2011, up fromUS$220.5 million in 2007.

The next time that you're shopping online, Snow Boot Co. might show you ads that encourage you to come back to their site and buy those boots. Reminder ads like these can be useful, but if you aren't shopping for Snow Boot Co.'s boots anymore, then you don't need a reminder about them. A new control within Ads Settings will enable you to mute Snow Boot Co.'s reminder ads."
