A little late I know, but the pics were just lying around and so…

There were showers of blessing that day, and badly ringing ears. We could hear firecrackers going boom all day and night.

Some crazy settings with my camera I suppose, and hence the light delay in the photograph. Cool effect.

Another Sunday, not this Sunday but last week, spent partying by the poolside. All thanks to Fosters and its Art of Chilling, perfected with lots of Fosters, barbecue, good people, music and hey that’s a party.

The one thing about this party was that I was able to tweet while partying on my blackberry. That felt nice. Check out the tweets at http://hashtags.org/tag/fosters/messages.

We came in early, for once, and we were joined by a few bloggers, Harish and Rachna. Then Sriharsha and one more blogger friend made a brief apppearance after which they had to run away. Then Bharath a new blogger from office dropped in with a girlfriend. And then we partied all evening, at least, till the party ended. Which we thought was never ;-) .

Since Manu had dropped in from Vellore for a brief visit it was all the more merrier with Nafisa, Anoop, Diana and me having a merry time.

So last Sunday was the Fosters art of chilling party in Bangalore. After covering so many other cities like Mumbai, Pune, Delhi and others it was time to do this once again in Bangalore. Karthik, Anoop and Renie have been working hard with Fosters for some time now through IndiBlogger.in. And what best way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon than to party your brains out by the poolside?

Karthik, Nafisa and I reached Mercure Homestead at Koramangala, where the art of chilling party was planned at, some time after 1:00 PM. Our blogger friends (Sangfroid and his friend) had already reached and they were calling us. Shame on us. Next time we will be there much before you guys ;-) .

The weather was pleasantly warm and just right for a barbecue party by the pool. There were quite a few people inside and we went straight for the bar. Lots and lots of beer (thanks Fosters) and a decent barbecue helped all of us loosen up a bit.

Dancing to trance and club music was another ‘hit’ at the party. How good is a party without good music? The crowd was good, lots of women, swimming pool, bikinis, beer, music, organizers, etc. made the party worthwhile.

There she was, black, silver, big, heavy and beautiful
She looked so beauuuutiful
It was love at first sight!

She was not easy, she was not nice
She was so hot and she had dull yellow eyes
And I loved her!

She was angry, she bled internally
Years of neglect, misuse and indifference
But she was so proud!

One fine day, when the going was tough
She cried, she could not take it anymore
And then she had a nervous breakdown!

I realized my follies, and then I cried
Took her to the doctor and I told my story
While she looked at me balefully!

Now the times are changed, life is full
Fresh blood, surgery, cosmetics and lots of love
My baby’s back on the road again!

It all started when a blogger from registered in IndiBlogger.in wanted to know how to add social bookmarks to blogger.com. And soon I noticed that there were more bloggers requesting help for the same. So I thought it was better that I put down a blog post about this. And here goes my tutorial on how to add social bookmarks to blogger.com.

 

First things first, blogger.com does not currently have a provision to add Social Bookmarking to blogs hosted at blogger.com. However, there are work arounds that work really well. Below is a tutorial of how one such workaround will put up Social Bookmarking on your blogger.com blog.

 

To start off you need some help from 3rd party websites like AddThis. Visit http://www.addthis.com/web-button-select and select the social bookmarking button you like. Then select ‘on a blog’ and ‘Blogger’ platform as I have shown in picture below and click on the “Get your button code” button.

 

addthis

 

Then you will see the next page where you can copy the code to be inserted into your blogger.com template. Copy the code and paste it on a notepad or just leave the window open.

 

code

 

In a new window, log in to www.blogger.com with your username and password. Once logged in you will see your dashboard. From the dashboard click on the layout link that will take you to edit the layout of your blog.

 

layout

 

Then click on Edit HTML link to edit your template.

 

edit_html

 

Then select the check box that says “Expand Widget Template”.

 

expand_widgets

 

Then do a search for the tag <div class=’post-footer’> in the template. Copy and paste the Social bookmarking widget code below this tag.

 

add_code

 

Once that is done, click on Save Template as indicated with arrows above.

And that’s it, Social Bookmarking has been added to your blog. Have fun making your blog readers add your blog posts to Digg, Delicious and other Social Bookmarking sites.

Do visit http://awesomephoto.blogspot.com/ for a live demo. This is an old blog of mine which has now becomeAwesome Photos – http://awesomefotos.com/.

 

You can also download social-bookmarks-on-blogger as a PDF file for easy offline reference.
