Add a Google+ button to your site

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

You can add a Google+ button to your site really easily, with some pre-generated Google code. Visit http://www.google.com/webmasters/+1/button/ to customize your own. Offline developers beware: the button requires a live web environment to render, so won’t display offline.

If you want to remove the ‘Post to Google plus’ message, simply change

Digsby

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

If you’re anything like me, you have a wide array of ways to network and chat with your friends and contacts. From email, web-mail and private messages, to Facebook wall posts and Twitter to real-time chatting on Windows Live Messenger and online messaging systems like Facebook and Google’s chat.

Digsby collates all of your networks into one easy way to log in and communicate from one interface.

You need to create a Digsby account which then stores all your login information. They claim their servers are secure, and I’ve not had any problems over the past few months I’ve been using Digsby.

Another very nifty feature is to generate a widget to place on your website or blog that lets you chat in real-time with visitors to your site.

It’s still a relatively new program and seems a little bandwidth-intensive when checking POP email, but the development continues to progress rapidly and new fixes are being applied all the time.
