Rhythmic pulses drums from within
Reaching out for the world to withhold
Streching out towards realm unknown
Savouring in at each passing breeze
Unfolding self..you marvel at the world
Unfold..for world waits to marvel at you
Web-Feeds .. A Pre-requisite towards understanding Yahoo Pipes
Many must have been seeing news snippets regarding Yahoo-pipes in the blogs that you pass by.. more adventurous souls would have googled and would have tried to gather information regarding this and try to figure out what this hype is all about..
Here is a Pictorial represntation of how effectively you can use yahoo pipes in your blog
- Definition of Web-Feed
Web feed is a Document that contains information regarding the content of the respective URL - What is the purpose of web-feed?
With the number of websites/ blogs growing everyday.. its practically impossible to visit each one of them just to check if there is an update on your favourite story..so what the end-user (reader of the website) does is..He subscribes to the feed of the particular website/ blog - Real-Life Example of using Web-Feeds
Most of us use our post feeds and comment feeds to display our RecentPosts(5) and RecentComments(5) in our sidebar.. For those who don’t know..
POST FEED – http://YOUR_BLOG_NAME.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
CONTENT FEED – http://YOUR_BLOG_NAME.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default?alt=rss - How does Subscribing help me?
If there is an update.. you get an alert in your mailbox–If there is no update.. then you can rest in peace..and need not worry about missing the latest news - Web-feed…an XML document
Web Feed as I said earlier are XML-documents. So they are developed to be read by machines (machine-readable) than by humans..(humanly-readable)By doing this.. when the feed is directly viewed in the browser ..Its only natural that you are not able to make head-or-tail out of it - How is Web-feed being read
This is done with the help of applications like FeedBurner, FeedReader, GoogleReader etc…
ie..once you subscribe to a feed ( or give the URL).. these applications ( machine-reads) reads the XML document( web-feed) and displays them in a more readable format (HTML document) in the browser - Feed Aggregation
Making a collection of web feeds accessible in one spot is known as aggregation. - Yahoo Pipes – A Feed Aggregator
Yahoo Pipes is a Web-Application by Yahoo… That allows the users to create their own aggregation of feeds without any sort of coding. Yahoo Pipes uses a Graphical-User-Interface allowing users to Drag-Drop controls

Customising Calendar Archive
By now I am sure mostyou have started using phydeaux’s Calendar Archive in their blog..He has indeed given us a great tool .The dull blogger archive is replaced with more vibrant clanedar archive
I am sure some of you would have gone a step further and modified the calender style sheet to modify he appreatence of the calender to match your blog’s color scheme.
If you want to perform such a customisation…and really dont know how to go about it..then all you have to do is just follw the instructions ..drop in your comment help shall come to you
In the Picture below I have marked certain areas in the calendar with refrence to its code in the stylesheet
|
It is my guess that the basic customisation works with adding some background color for the dates – days – title etc..this can be done in a very simple manner
You may add Background color by adding background-color:COLOR to the respective block of the code
Say.. you want to add the background as pink in the area marked #bcaption..Then your code will look something like this
#bcaption
{border:1px outset #000;
background-color:pink;
padding:2px;
margin-left:0;
margin-right:0;
margin-top:10px;
margin-bottom:0
}
You may also use the hexadecimal color code to get the color of your choice…background-color:#ffc0ff;
Once the month is selected the posts made during that month is displayed as list…You may want to add a picture to appear near those titles in the list (See my Calender archive.. you will see picture)
You can also do this all you need to do is
- Choose a picture that you would like to display
- Upload the picture to a common fileserver..like googlepages
- Add the <img src=”URL_of the picture“/> to the ul#calendarUl li
The width and height of the picture must NOT exceed 16*16px
A word before saying goodbye..!
A word before saying goodbye! by MindBliss
Bye..Bye..Dear Friend…,
Bunch of memoirs..with footprints of time
Blend of responsiblities..with passing time
Binding our affection…with snippets in time
Bending our intellect.. prioritising in time
Bear with imperfect emotions of past &
Behind..we shall leave our remorse..
Beyond..we shall look at our goals
Bye..Bye..till our paths cross again
Bye..Bye..Dear Friend.
My Pillow
While snuggling and cuddling onto me
You crave and cry on deepest desires
You smile and beam over days events
You clutch and rock to & fro
…………..mulling over a nascent thought
You sigh and sleep off to meet the day
While snuggling and cuddling onto me
Bonded
The bond we choose to choose
The bond we choose to remain
The bond we choose to stand by
The bond beyond formal plesantaries
The bond beyond informal acts
The bond beyond all inhibitions
The bond that goes on..and..on..
Even when words loose pace in time
Desire
Fantasies yearn to be desires
Desires fuel flames of fantasies
Dream of desires within reality
Fantasies shall then be acomplished

Tick tock..speaks the time,
You attempt a nursery rhyme,
Good to read..need more rhyme,
Tick tock..speaks the time,
You have a nursery rhyme.
Wander
Wandering amongst thoughts..
Seeing within self…
Brimming with passion..
Sprinking love with every beat…
Hearts wandered before..
Hearts wander even now..!
