Now You Can Change The Adsense Font.

A lot of publishers were craving for more options to manipulate the appearance of adsense ads on the webpage. Adsense team gladly announced about new changes with adsense font face. From now every adsense user can select font face in ad text on pages with Latin characters. You can choose from 3 font faces between Arial, Times and Verdana. Keep in ming that although font option will be available in every account, but changes of ad units appear only in pages with Latin-based characters.

There are several posibilities of adapting the face font of your ad units. If you 'd like to change font type for all ad units generated from your account, go to “Ad Display Preference” section and select account wide font value. This will assign all ad units even those created in the past to appear with new font face. This could save you a lot of time because you won’t have to recreate all ad codes from the scratch. By default, all ads are set to have “Standard Adsense font family” which is approved by adsense team as best performing font type for all browsers and monitor resolutions.

You’re still able to select custom font type for your specific ads. When creating new units of advertisement, you will be asked to choose between the default 'Standard AdSense font family', your new account-wide font face (if you've selected one), or one of 3 available custom fonts from the drop down menu. If you do not choose to change font account wide you can change existing ad units by visiting the Manage Ads page.

New adsense font changing feature allows you to experiment with font combinations. You’re not tied with arial anymore to blend your site’s text with adsense ads.

So to change your Adsense font just start creating new ad unit and in the process you will see the new option for changing fonts.

Faster Turn Off and Start Up your Computer

When you have Windows installed for several month or more it can become very slow. It's not only your programs run slower than usual but also Shut Down and Start Up time increases a lot. What you can do to make computer turn off and start up faster? One way is to reinstall windows or add more RAM but if you have many programs instaled which you need to use everyday, you can not afford to go with fresh Windows installation. Searching for drivers alone could cost you a half day. Buying RAM is good but also needs time and investment.

The easiest way to decrease up and down time for your computer is to use hibernate function. Off course you know about hibernating but do you really used it? You will be impressed with the results. It can take up to 2 or 3 minutes for old and stuffed computer to shut down but with hibernating you can leave your computer after 15-20 seconds. Starting up also takes much less time.

The main concept of hibernating is that computer saves all the information of working Windows OS to the hard drive and later only has to load already working Windows session. You can even watch DVD movie from the point where you left before hibernating.

How to use hibernation?

Press Start button and as usual select Turn of Computer. On the popup window press Shift and you will see that Standby button changes to Hibernate. Press it and you're done. Literally you can continue one session even a month if you never shut down your computer fully. But I suggest you to do so once in a while because sometimes one program can become unstable and you will load that error again and again, but if everything works fine you can hibernate as much as you want.

No Roll Over Alt Text with Firefox?

If you noticed that when you place an image in your blog and roll over it in Internet Explorer you get alternate text displayed for several seconds, but when you try to do it in Firefox the text doesn't show up. This is because Firefox doesn't display Alt text like IE does.

This is quite strange but the fix is really easy. If you add a title attribute to an image then even Firefox will display it as an alternate text.

Blogger doesn't provide you with instant title attribute adding feature but it's really not difficult. Just insert image as you allways do by clicking on the Add Image button and then go to Edit Html mode. Locate where is the image tag and add the following line after src attribute:

title="some image title to display on roll over".

Your whole image tag would look like this:

<img id="..." style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="you see alt text" title="you see title text" src="..." border="0" />

When you have only Alt attribute in the img tag then IE will display it but Firefox won't, when you have both Alt and Title attributes, then both browsers will display title attribute. Using title attributes with images can improve your blog or site in a way that it can be indexed better by search engines and Firefox users will see Alt text as well.

Bellow is two images working as examples:

This image has only Alt attribute (Alt="This is Alt text") , if you read this blog with Firefox you probably don't see when roll over

This image has both Alt and Title attributes. You should see roll over text on both IE and Firefox
