How to Practice Proper Cell Phone Etiquette

2011-08-04T14:43:00.000-07:00

It is undisputed that the wonders of a cell / or Smartphone. But the lack of manners using the phones makes other angry. No one can deny that too. How many times have we caught glaring at a person who is crying on the phone on the bus or subway? Or that guy who always forgets to turn off the power at the movies and he plays well in the middle of the movie? But what really bothers you? Conversations our friends did a survey of readers to find out exactly what are the most annoying situations. Here are the unique results.
The number of responses was quite significant, which means that the cell phone etiquette is something that concerns everyone.

Let the list of the Top 4:

1) Sound on high in public places

The number of bad habits in a cell is listening to music, play games or watching movies in public with the sound on high for anyone to listen. This item had 21% of the most annoying things on the phone.

2) Yelling on the phone

The next item most cited are the people screaming on the phone, rather than just talk. Of course, if you are in noisy place, it is necessary to increase the tone of voice to be heard - or maybe talk outside? If you are not in a place like this, please keep the volume low. Otherwise, you irritate almost 21% of people on your side (and I hope I'm not one of them).

3) In the film or theater

Third, scoring just over 17% of the most annoying habits of the list are the people who use or forget to turn off the phone at the movies or the theater. People who paid to have a moment of peace and fun does not want to be disturbed by the ringing of the phone in the middle of the film or be distracted by this little light of the phone screen. The worst is that, right? If the warning at the beginning of the movie tells you to turn your phone off, so please respect.

4) Use the phone while talking to someone

Look, I confess that this aspect is what irritates me most. For almost 12% of people who participated in the poll as well. You're talking to someone and send messages to other people? This is definitely a lack of etiquette!
I deliver the gold and highlight the four items cited. There is an option that was dropped in the poll, as there are many items to be addressed. But you can check out other categories in the image below.

In March this year, Teilor wrote a post showing the reasons why Google deletes blogs that are not in accordance with the Policy Content Blogger.

Google can delete my blog from Blogger / Blogspot? (required reading)

When a blog violates the rules, it shall be considered a spam blog and it is automatically deleted. This is good because it reduces drastically the number of blogs piracy, pornography, spammers and plagiarists.
The problem is that robots make mistakes and blogs that follow the rules can also be deleted. The difference is that in the first case, if confirmed the violation of terms of service, no good crying because it was your blog! In the second case, tracking errors occur when there is a possibility of recovering the blog.
Recently, the baby had its Ariane TNB deleted by mistake. Despite the disorder, the blog was recovered in a short time and returned intact.

What to do when a blog is deleted and considered as spam?

The first thing to do is carefully read the Terms of Service and Content Policy and verifies that you did not breach any rules:

If all agree, follow these instructions. To request a review of your blog

Go to your blogger dashboard

Google can delete my blog from Blogger / Blogspot?

2011-08-01T00:28:00.000-07:00

The answer to the question of the title of this post is YES! But Google does not delete blogs indiscriminately and without good reason (do not be evil, remember?). If your blog has been erased / deleted / excluded, of course Google had any reason to do so.
Before we continue with the subject of the post, I want to say that blogs deleted by Google can not be recovered, no matter how much the blog owner cry, kick, swear at or threaten.

For what reasons my blog can be deleted?

Basically, most cases of deleted blogs, is that the blog maker gives no respect to the Blogger terms of service or Blogger Content Policy. In these terms it is clearly written that what you can do and what can not to do using Blogger and what is the punishments when you cross the limits.
There are many blog developer who have no idea about the blogger policies and sometimes blogger punish them by deleting thier blogs. There are many important points related to this topic and i tried my best to cover all of them in this topic.

Adult Content:

You can post adult content easily, including explicit content, but must observe certain restrictions, such as the fact that your blog can not be aimed at making profit with this type of content. Some people understand this restriction as a ban on the monetization of blogs with adult content.

Child abuse:

Any blogs that link images, videos or material that is characterized as child abuse (child pornography, pedophilia, etc.) are immediately deleted once discovered. Google has a zero tolerance policy in such cases.

Incitement to hatred or intolerance / Content coarse / Violence:

Do not use your blog to spread ideas of hate or intolerance because of factors such as race, ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status or sexual orientation / gender identity. Do not use the blog to promote or incite violence, or use your blog to post content crude, whose sole purpose is to shock or offend others.

Copyright:

Copyright, here is one of the biggest reasons for deletion of the Google blogs. Many blogs offer links to download copyrighted content has been deleted recently. These were the famous blogs. And Google does not help them to the excuse.

Personal or Confidential information and questions of identity:

It is forbidden to use Blogger to disclose personal or confidential information of others, such as credit card numbers. It is also forbidden to use Blogger to forge the identity of another person or body so that the purpose of such blogs is clearly to confuse visitors and undermine or denigrate the person or body.

Spam:

Never use spam to Blogger, such as creating blogs with the sole purpose of linking other sites to benefit them in search engines.

Malware and Virus:

Do not use your blog to spread malware and viruses. If you have problems related to viruses and malware on your blog, please read the article about malware on Blogger , and try to solve the problem or you can have your blog deleted.
Delete blogs offenders is necessary, since Google can not host blogs criminals, because this would harm the company image. Obviously, not all cases of deleted blogs and some just seem really are misguided by Google and bloggers serious harm, committed with the content
If your blog was deleted and you can not understand why, or if you think you're violating some rule of Blogger and worried that your blog is deleted, post your questions in the Forum Blogger where there are many people willing to help.

Two Blog Posts Widgets on Blogger Page Element, How to Remove One?

2011-07-15T14:01:00.000-07:00

Some time when you are changing your blog templates then a warning message is shown on your Edit Template page. An image of this page is given below. (Click on the image to enlarge it.)

If you click on the Delete Widgets button then there will be no problem in future.

But if you press Keep Widgets then sometime this will cause problem for you like double blog post widgets in your page elements.

Sometime it causes double post on your blog home page and it is very necessary to fix this problem otherwise it also cause some problem in indexing by Google. (i.e. duplicate content). double post widgets look like this.

"Remember to save a copy of the template, before and after doing this"

First step to solve this problem is that login to the blogger. On the dashboard open the Design tab of the effected blog. And after this click on the Edit HTML button. As shown in the figure.

Second step is to find the code given below in HTML code of the template. (you can find this by using Ctrl+f)

<b:widget id='Blog1' locked='true' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'/><b:widget id='Blog2' locked='true' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'/>

In some templates code may differ from this HTML code but don’t worry about this. The word which you have to focus is “ Blog1” and “Blog2”. In my template the HTML code was:

<b:widget id='Blog1' locked='false' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'/><b:widget id='Blog2' locked='true' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'/>

As I highlight in an image blow.

The next step is to remove the HTML code containing “Blog2” in it. And leave the first line as it is. After all of this save your template by clicking on the button given below the HTML code “SAVE TEMPLATE”

I hope this post helps all of you viewers. So keep visiting for more blogger tricks.
