How to Check the Display of Your Blog/Website in Multiple Browsers and Platforms?

By VJ
Tom publishes a blog on latest Windows applications. He publishes out of his iMac. Tom uses iMac for all his browsing, publishing, writing, etc. What if his blog is not displayed properly on a Windows system? His blog is targeted for Windows users, and it is not displayed properly on Windows systems at all.

This is the case with many websites. Haven’t you found every now and then websites that don’t display on your browser properly and closed it?

Checking the display of your website/blog on various browsers and platforms is very important for professional blogs. There are quite a few services for this, but almost all are paid ones. Now, we have an entirely free service to do the job—BrowserShots.org. You may just submit your site address within BrowserShots and select the platforms and browsers you need the display checked in. Wait a few moments and reload the page to see the screenshots on your selection of browsers and platforms. Within BrowserShots, you have, perhaps, the largest selection of browsers and platforms.

The problem that causes website display errors may be bad coding. Check your website if it is compatible with W3C standards. If the site doesn’t conform to the rules, make necessary changes to make it validate.

However, just W3C validation is not enough for the sites to display properly. If the site doesn’t display properly, you have to analyze deeper to know the real cause of the error.

Power of Short Sentences

By VJ
Post dedicated to Thomas Hardy (see History Today below). There are monster sentences like the one you encounter as the first paragraph of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens . One of my friends, whom I am getting equipped for his IELTS ( what is this? ), told me that the examination recommends long sentences. In writing classes also, I guess it’s longer sentences most tutors promote. But indubitably shorter sentences are more powerful . We will see why. Take a long sentence for instance: Tom Cruise, one of the finest actors in the whole world, is perhaps the most powerful celebrity to exist ever according to Time Magazine, but many people still dispute this fact and point out that there are more powerful and popular actors than Cruise, though they were unsuccessful in providing the total number of fans, who liked the films of those actors. This is a long sentence and it is very confusing . Though it has a logical construction and conveys a meaning, it falters in many occasions and seems ...

Creative Writing: Crafting Characters With Emotional Appeal in Mind

By VJ
When you read the greatest fiction works ever, have you ever asked what was so compelling about them that you not only kept reading it, but you ended up reading all other major works of the writer? It may well be because the writer touched your emotional quotient quite a bit. Every reader has a unique taste . Some like to read suspense thrillers , some tender love stories, and some others dark horror and bloodshed stories . That’s why there are all sorts of genres out there. When a writer gives you what exactly you want, you will keep reading. Here we come to the emotional appeal. Character Imperfection Perfect characters may not always be the upshot of a writer’s deliberation. It may well be due to ignorance . Usually the upcoming writers take it for granted that if they create perfect characters, they will be able to garner a bigger audience . It is not true. You have to ask yourself what a character would do in a particular situation. Perfect characters—perfect gunmen, perfect...

En Dash, Em Dash, and Hyphen

By VJ
We have three types of dashes in use: The hyphen, En Dash, and the Em Dash. In this post, we will see how to use them all correctly. Hyphen (-) The hyphen is the minus key in Windows-based keyboards. This is a widely used punctuation mark. Hyphen should not be mistaken for a dash . Dash is different and has different function than a hyphen. A hyphen is used to separate the words in a compound adjective, verb, or adverb. For instance: The T-rex has a movement-based vision. My blog is blogger-powered. John’s idea was pooh-poohed. The hyphen can be used generally for all kinds of wordbreaks . En Dash (–) En Dash gets its name from its length. It is one ‘N’ long (En is a typographical unit that is almost as wide as 'N'). En Dash is used to express a range of values or a distance: People of age 55–80 are more prone to hypertension. Delhi–Sidney flight was late by three hours. In MS Word, you can put an En Dash either from the menu, clicking Insert->Symbol or by the key-combinatio...
