"The China Times" (www.thechinatimes.com) introduces you the most powerful magazine template on blogger.com platform! It takes me 3 hours to optimise the layout and SEO enhancement. This theme is based on FooterBlog but with many features added. If you browse a Label page or search a keyword in FooterBlog, the result page contains 4 columns and all posts are displayed in a narrow space. "The China Times" provides a better presentation on both search results and item pages, also smart SEO support in title and header META information part. If you are searching for a magazine template, this template is what you need!

Demo:



Here are some screen shots:

Index Page:


Post Page:


Search Result:


Archive Page:


Label Page:


The third column (Google AD column)contains four sections: the middle one for all pages, first one ONLY appears on the index page, and the other two sections are for item page / archive page. You can add some special report links which will only be dispalyed on the front page, and some bookmark links on the item page.

The magic of this template requires a single css file and some javascript. There are three types of page: index, item and archive. Index page also handles the search (and labels as well ). My script  will check the url of an index page and hide the second "Headline" column on search result page.

I'll release this template if you like my works:-)

It's not possible to play trick within < title > tag, we can write the title in three parts:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;index&quot;'>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/> - This is my blog description</title>
</b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
</b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;archive&quot;'>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
</b:if>

Better Title for SEO:

Index page: Blog Name - Description
Item page: Title - Blog Name
Archive page: (use the default setting)

And out put some meta description ONLY on the front page:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;index&quot;'>
<meta content='Online news, business, politics, analysis, blogs, comments and photos from the world.' name='description'/>
<meta content='news,politics,business,report' name='keywords'/>
</b:if>

You can also add the tag information to meta keyword on the item page as well.

Open-Domain.org provides you free domain service.

Now you can register domains like:

bbc.co.uk.am
live.uk.am
nhk.jp.am
office.org.uk.net
...

for free!

open-domain.org is hosted in the UK at the moment, please let me know if the site is slow in your country.

I upgrade LinLux.com to oProxy.org today, I have to say that this is one of the most robust proxy networks in the world. It has 3 main VPS and a failover backup server. This load balancing architecture distributes visitors to different nodes of network. The domain "Open-Proxy.com" has Round Robin DNS set up and automatic failover configuration. However I found the second VPS in PA is not fast enough, maybe I'll switch www2 to a better datacenter.

In the future I'll add more domains to this network, while the backbone will always be the same.

P.S. You may find out "oProxy.org" is hosted by Blogger.com :-) Yes, Blogger.com is the best place for hosting static pages.

Ever since the first glance, I feel that the WebOS "EyeOS" is a very good showcase for the concept "cloud computing".

And this weekend I decide to donate my domain www.Windows7.us to demonstrate this promising project, I'll keep this site always online.

Now you can visit:



This domain has nothing to do with the MS OS code Windows7©, I mean, windows7.us is just the 7th window for us.

Please feel free to create your account and try those new features. Since V1.7 we can save documents in the format of .doc instead of .eyedoc. Please read this tutorial:

http://wiki.eyeos.org/HOWTO_save_a_Microsoft_Word_compatible_document

And I'm thinking about integrating EyeOS and Glype , otherwise EyeNav browser is useless without proxy function.

Also I remember some people managed to run EyeOS on their iphone as a light weight OS (Apache required). This program doesn't require any database installed, so it will be very handy for us to manage and back up everything, though we're not sure about its scalability.
