Step 0: Download and save your template so that you can go back to it if there is any problem with this hack (Important!)

Your blog's main page usually shows the entire content of each post. If your posts are usually more than 2 paragraphs, then your visitor will find it difficult to quickly find the topic of interest to him because he needs to scroll down a lot. This is where expandable post summaries helped in the old Blogger. This hack serves the same purpose for the new Blogger and more! That is, main page will show only post summaries and when you click "Read more", the full post appears in the main page itself (Peekaboo view)!! I got some requests to do such a hack and I managed to get it working. Later, Hans improved it by adding a "Summary only" link with which you can collapse the post back to summary. Together, we also made the "Read more" link to show up only for the posts that have a summary. This is an amazing hack but you need to be careful while changing your template. If you are not familiar with HTML, I strongly suggest you to get help from somebody who knows HTML while applying this hack. Here are the steps to follow.

The tracker also shows the fastest-growing fan pages.

Wow, Nutella has more fans than pizza. Who knew?

The tracker also shows the fastest-growing fan pages. A fan page dedicated to masturbation grew 11,900 percent in the last week and is the No. 8 fastest-growing page (see first chart below). Now we know why social networks are overtaking porn sites in popularity. (I didn’t link to it here, but that fan page on Facebook is NSFW).

The least popular fan pages (in terms of daily growth) are included as well. On top of that sad list is Buddy’s Shamrock Tavern in New Jersey.

Looking at the stats also shows how big events can add to your fanbase. The New York Times, for instance, had a big jump of 135,000 fans from the ad they ran on Facebook’s homepage during the Presidential Inauguration. (See second chart below).

AllFacebook also now tracks more than 50,000 applications on Facebook (see previous coverage).

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan had to wait for 46 years before

2009-02-02T07:16:00.000-08:00

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan had to wait for 46 years before he could get the autograph of his idol, Dilip Kumar.

In his latest blog entry, Bachchan who called Dilip Kumar as an institution in himself talks about how he as a child had unsuccessfully attempted to get an autograph from his superstar and had to wait for the premiere of his film Black to finally get hold of one.

"I remember the first time I ever saw him in 1960. I had come to Bombay (Mumbai) as a visitor with my parents...our hosts had taken us out to visit some of the awe inspiring sights and locations of this great city...It was a prominent restaurant, in now what is commonly referred to as South Bombay, where Dilip Kumar, the Dilip Kumar, walked in," the actor wrote in his blog.

Urged by the elders and eager to go up and greet him and to ask him to oblige them with an autograph, Bachchan ran out of the restaurant to a nearby stationary store to buy an autograph book.

"Out of breath with excitement and apprehension, I walked back to the legend and softly put up my request. Poised statue like, hand extended with the book, I repeated my quivering words to him. He remained unmoved. Either to me or to the book."

"In a short while, he turned and left. I followed his departure, book in hand and a little embarrassed and self conscious and disappointed, returned to my seat, consoled by the elders with me not to take it personally. He may not have noticed you, or perhaps he was too busy with what was transpiring between him and his friends. I understood with some trepidation. End of meeting with Dilip Kumar," the actor cum keen blogger said.

Bachchan also recalled the first film that they did together and how he felt as an actor seeing the legend before him. "Time passed. I moved into the fascinating world of cinema with opportunities and failures and some successes, until one day Salim-Javed the great writing duo conceptualized Shakti the film by Ramesh Sippy and cast Dilip Saheb and me in it.

"It was an incredible moment of unbelievable proportions. This idol of mine, this huge and larger than life figure who had loomed in my fantasies, now to be standing next to him was unimaginable," he wrote.

The actor says years later when Dilip Kumar's film Ganga Jamuna, which Bachchan says he must have seen a million times, failed to win Femina Best actor Award for his idol, he had "lived in shock and extreme surprise."

"Many moons thereafter, when awards became a part of our existence too and when their denial for deserving performances became a disappointment, I would often take great solace by remembering the Ganga Jamuna incident and console myself by saying - If they didn't give it to Dilip Saheb...hum kis khet ki mooli hain!", he said.

Bachchan writes that he says this to "colleagues when they despair of non recognition...I say this to Abhishek often."

What is Islam??

2008-02-08T11:14:00.000-08:00

Islam is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion originating with the teachings of Muhammad, a 7th century Arab religious and political figure. The word Islam means "submission", or the total surrender of oneself to God (Arabic: الله, Allāh). An adherent of Islam is known as a Muslim, meaning "one who submits (to God)".There are approximately 1.61 billion Muslims, making Islam the second-largest religion in the world, after Christianity.

Muslims believe that God revealed the Qur'an to Muhammad, God's final prophet, and regard the Qur'an and the Sunnah (words and deeds of Muhammad) as the fundamental sources of Islam.They do not regard Muhammad as the founder of a new religion, but as the restorer of the original monotheistic faith of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets. Islamic tradition holds that Jews and Christians distorted the texts God gave to these prophets by either altering the text, using a false interpretation, or both.

Islam includes many religious practices. Adherents are generally required to observe the Five Pillars of Islam, which are five duties that unite Muslims into a community.In addition to the Five Pillars, Islamic law (sharia) has developed a tradition of rulings that touch on virtually all aspects of life and society. This tradition encompasses everything from practical matters like dietary laws and banking to warfare.

Almost all Muslims belong to one of two major denominations, the Sunni and Shi'a. The schism developed in the late 7th century following disagreements over the religious and political leadership of the Muslim community. Roughly 85 percent of Muslims are Sunni and 15 percent are Shi'a. Islam is the predominant religion throughout the Middle East, as well as in parts of Africa and Asia. Large communities are also found in China, the Balkan Peninsula in Eastern Europe and Russia. There are also large Muslim immigrant communities in wealthier and more developed parts of the world such as Western Europe. About 20 percent of Muslims live in Arab countries.
