Humour: This Is How Business Is Done
How about starting the new week with a laugh? :) I got a funny scrap in my Orkut scrapbook today. Thought I would share it with you all.
Starring: Father, son, President of World Bank and Bill Gates
Father: I want you to marry a girl of my choice.
Son: “I will choose my own bride!”
Father: “But the girl is Bill Gates’s daughter.”
Son: “Well, in that case… Ok!”
Next, Father approaches Bill Gates.

Schedule Posts For Later Publishing In WordPress
WordPress is, no doubt, the best blogging platform and CMS (Content Management System) available. There are endless features in it, and since the new version, WordPress 2.5, is out it’s even more fun to use it. I’ve been using WordPress for the past 1 year now, before that I was with Joomla and worked on that. But seriously, WordPress is more easy, user-friendly and faster to use.
Here’s a small WordPress tip I would like to share with you all. As you all know, previously, I took a 4 months break because of my exams. In the meanwhile, you you kept getting posts on Sizzled Core regularly for some time, even when I was busy studying. That’s one of the features why I love WordPress so much. WordPress has a built-in feature by which you could time-stamp your posts for later publishing.

Make sure you patch an original unmodified Windows Live Messenger. If you want to patch Windows Live Messenger more than once, then don’t forget to restore your backups each time.
How To Try Out New Facebook Design
Earlier today, I wrote about the new Facebook profile design which is slated to release for everyone this Spring. Currently, it’s only open for Facebook developers and normal users can not try it. I have found a way by which even regular members can use and try the new upcoming Facebook design.
As I said before, it’s only open for developers, so for this you’ll have to become a developer yourself! No, I’m not going to ask you to make a Facebook application. Just by adding the Developer application can count you in their developers. That means then you can also try out the new design.
Sneak Peak At The New Facebook Profile Design
Facebook is planning to roll out the new, redesigned profile this Spring. Their aim is to make things simpler, cleaner and more relevant for the users, without stripping them off with their control over their profile and privacy. And as for developers, they can create more meaningful engagement with users, offer new integration points in profiles, and provide distribution for engaging applications.
Developers have been given a beta period to test out their applications with the redesigned Facebook. The new design uses tabs to split up different types of information, still keeping it simple and easy-to-use. Being a developer myself, I was very excited to try out my Facebook application with the new profile. And to my surprise, it worked like a charm :)
Try It Out!
If you would like to try out the new Facebook profile design, click here. Remember, many features might won’t work as its only open for developers to test their applications.
Now even non-developers can use the new design. For more information on how to, click here!
Let’s take a look at the drop down menus in the top menu bar.
User Menu
From this menu, you can view or edit your Profile, edit and privacy and account settings. Or if you need to, you can also log out from here.
Friends Menu
Friends menu allow you to view your friends list, recently updated profiles, online friends and allows to further invite or find friends using your email address book.
Applications Menu
Add, remove or manage Facebook applications added in your profile.
Inbox Menu
Here you can manage your private messages, view your Inbox, sent messages, notifications and fan page updates, or compose a new private message.
Let’s move on to the tabs now.
Tabs
- Feed: Shows your mini-feed updates
- Info: Shows your basic, contact, personal, education, work and custom application information.
- Wall: All the wall posts
- Photos: View and manage your albums, add, edit or view photos.
- Boxes: Here everyone can see all the applications added.
Overall, I feel the new design is way better than the current one. It’s more easy to use, and I like the idea that all the applications are in a separate tab and won’t load if we try to open our Profile page. There was one missing thing that I hope to see in the final release of this layout, the Social-Feed. It helped me lot to catch up what’s going in my friends profiles.
Facebook Preview
To preview the upcoming improvements to Facebook, be a fan of the official Facebook Previews page.
Do let me know what you think of this design, and did you like it or not? I’ll be looking forward to know your views.
