Download all popular apps

Has your computer crashed? Have your computer lost all applications due to a crash and need to download all over again individually? You might have faced similar situation many times, where you do not have a backup of the applications. You need to remember first which apps are required and need to be reinstalled, and then download one by one from the individual sites. Sounds hectic and time consuming?

Here's a simpler solution to that..
Try www.freenew.net/ where you can find all popular applications you require to be downloaded from the internet. It provides a single dashboard and flexibility to choose them as per your requirement.














Note: All software are downloaded from vendors' servers or trusted sources, and have been tested to ensure they are free of virus, spyware, adware and any other threats.

Disclaimer:  For licensing of each applications, (if required) you need to check with the application developers site for more details. I will not be responsible for any license violation. This site is only a feature to find the popular tools in a single dashboard, rather than downloading individual files from various locations.

Download video from Youtube without installing any tool

I have just stumbled across a site which will allow you to download Youtube videos directly without installation of any Video downloader or any other tool.

Steps:
1) Open a video on youtube (or copy the URL if you already know it)
2) Select the beginning part of the video's URL  "http://www.y" from "http://www.youtube.com/"
3) Change/ delete the selected part and just type "3"
4) The URL will now look like this "http://www.3outube.com/"
5) You will see many options of downloading the video

An easy step by step snapshot is also available on the website itself

How to add Contact page and other forms in Blog

Blogs have been offering multi-paged blogs for some time now. In order to create multiple pages, you need to first enable the "Pages" gadget in Blogspot.  After enabling the gadget, save the layout so that it is visible in the page elements.

To create new pages, go to "Edit pages" under posting tab.
You ca create upto 10 standalone pages in Blogspot.
Create some pages, you can change the layout later on.
For more details on making pages and changing its layout, please refer the Blogspot help page here.

Assuming that you are done creating your pages, lets move forward on creating a contact page in Blogs.
Some of the pages (if you are pondering to create) can be About, Contact, Disclaimer, Copyright/ Privacy policy, Newsletter etc.

Google has provided provision for creating pages, but have missed out on providing a contact form. Google however have not ruled it out after all. We are going to use Google Documents to create a form and then link it in the blog page.


To create a Google document form, follow the following steps:
1)    Navigate to http://docs.google.com,
2)    Click Create New and select Form (or) From Template option,



 3)   Enter form title and brief description to distinguish, then add your form fields; make some required fields, as per your convenience


4)   You can grab the embedded code under “More actions” then “Embed” option
5)    Choose HTML view, paste the embedded code in your Contact page and publish your post.
  
You have successfully created the contact page in your blog.
