For a long period I have been on facebook and I have forgotten how I first reached facebook. I dont remember who invited me to facebook or I myself typed the web address.

Like me most of you might also have forgotten but now facebook has started giving some detail description about the invites.

• If you would like to know who all have joined Facebook because of you, go here.
• If you would like to see a list of all people whom you have invited to join Facebook but they are yet to accept your invitation, go here.
• If you like to know who in your friends circle has brought the maximum number of people to Facebook so far, go to facebook.com/impact.

You can also send invites to friends to whom you have previously invited but the invitation was not accepted or stayed unnoticed.

In my previous post I wrote about using windows livewriter to write to and update blogs. Setting up livewriter to post to blogger blogs is somewhat easy but whet it comes to wordpress blogs when we try to give all the details and try to  set it up sadly it fails. You don’t have to worry about it. You just have to enable posting you have enable the WordPress, Movable Type, MetaWeblog and Blogger XML-RPC publishing protocols. This will  make your blog accept connection from windows live writer and you will be able to update your blog using it.

Here are the steps you have to follow to do this:

1. Login to your wordpress dashboard.

2. Click on the “Writing" option under “settings”.

3. You will the option “XML-RPC” under “Remote publishing” section. Enable the check box  in front of it.

4. Click on the “Save Changes”

5. Its Done!!

Now go to Windows livewriter and try to setup your blog again. You wont face any problem.

Happy Blogging..

Screen shot simply means taking a photograph of computer screen. Its very easy but lots of newbies find it difficult to take screenshot . There are few different ways to take screen shot:

1. Most easy one is to use snipping tool built in windows seven or probably windows vista. To take screen shot through snipping tool you simply have to open it ( its present in program files > accessory > snipping tool) click on new and choose the area of screen you want to capture. Selected area will be automatically open as a picture in new window. Save it and use it.

2. If you do not have snipping tool in your PC  you don’t have to worry. The most used technique to take screenshot is by using print screen button. Here is what you have to do:

• Focus the screen you want to take shot of.
• Hit print screen on your keyboard. Sometime th print screen button is labeled as PRTSC or something like that.
• Open you favorite image editing software/tool. If you don’t have one you can use paint (it is present in program files > accessories > paint).
• Click on files > new.
• Paste by using control + “v”.
• Resize it or edit to your satisfaction.
• Save the image in your favorite format.

3. You can use special tools made to take screenshots like hypersnap. These tools have inbuilt editing capabilities to edit your image the way you want. There are many tools available on the internet to take screenshot or to take screen capture.

As I have written in my previous post I have got a new laptop. Its comes with microsoft windows vista preloaded. While surfing on the web I came to know that microsoft has made available windows 7 RC1 to the public. I decided to test the new launch. I downloaded the windows 7 image. But how to install windows 7 as I only had 1 drive that is c:. The hard was not partitioned and whole of the 320 GB space was in c drive. That was not good at all. I knew I can make new partition if I reinstall the operating system but that will result into erasing of the vista.
I searched on the web I found out that we can partition the hard disk into desired sizes without disturbing the operating system. It dont even need any restarting the computer.

Here are the steps you have to follow to make a new drive in windows vista:

1. Right click on the “My Computer” icon on your desktop and select “manage” from the menu. That will open a new window.

2. Double click on the “Disk Management” option.

3. Right click on the drive you want to partition and select “Shrink volume” from the menu.

4. After some calculations a small window will appear. Enter the size of the new volume and click “Shrink”.

5. You will now have a new drive in the drive list.

6. Format the new drive by right clicking on it and selecting “format”.

7. Your new volume is ready to be used now.

I installed the windows 7 on the new drive and really enjoying it.
