Poll: What Linux Desktop Environment do you use?

Today, I am going to post a poll asking you what Linux Desktop Environment you are using. If you do not use Linux, or do not know what I am talking about, don't worry. Just don't vote in the poll.

Disqus 2012 on this site

Dear readers,
If you have not noticed yet, you might notice that the comments are not looking as the way they should be. That is because I have enabled Disqus 2012, for a short period of time. The reason -- to see how it is like here. My personal opinion is one thing, but this site is not about me. I'd make my own personal blog for that...which would also be powered by Disqus.

I have had this enabled for only one day, and I have submitted just under 10 bugs with Disqus 2012. Sure, it still has bugs, but is stable enough to have on here for a while. Click here to see my initial post about Disqus 2012.

So, do you want Disqus 2012 on this site? Be sure to post a comment below -- using Disqus 2012 and let me know of your thoughts, and also vote in the poll below. I will use both to decide whether or not to keep Disqus 2012 on here.


Below is some pictures I just took:

Here you can see the embed, currently with no comments. This is the same embed for this article. When you star a discussion, you can share it on twitter and facebook, subscribe to it via RSS, and subscribe to it via email. If you are logged in, you'll also see the My Disqus tab, similar to the current Disqus Dashboard. When you click the gear drop down menu, you have more options, such as logging out, accessing help, and more.

Here, you can see community info. This is the equivalent of the community box from the "classic" Disqus.

If you have questions, drop a line below. And don't forget to vote in the poll, and comment below.

How To: Add Disqus comments to your mobile template via HTML editing

If you are like me, you have a blog that is powered by Blogger. Sure, you can use WordPress.com, but it is harder to use, and you can't add JavaScript and plugins like Disqus.

By default, Blogger has its own native comment system. It has gotten better, but still lacking in core features.

So like me, I installed Disqus here. That is why you see Disqus here instead of Blogger Comments.

But you have one issue - getting Disqus to work in your mobile template.

Well in this Techman's World How-To, I'm going to guide you through it through images and text.

The first thing to know is if you installed Disqus. In this case I'm assuming you used the Blogger widget.

1. Go to the Blogger Dashboard
2. Select your blog(s)
3. Select Template from the options menu along the left.
4. Click on edit HTML under the "Live on Blog" thumbnail image.
5. Confirm the warning about HTML
6. Click the tick at the top to expand widgets
7. Press CTRL + F
8. Type in "Disqus" NOTE: If you have another Disqus widget, you might get to that first. Make sure you please you placed your Disqus widget at the very bottom right corner in the layout tab first. If you have another widget, the Disqus embed widget should be the very last one anyways.
9. Add a mobile='yes' after locked='false'
10. Save Template (thanks to Jim Hirshfield in the comments for the heads up)

Here is some images below.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Official Reveal Trailer

If you are a fan of the Call of Duty series, then you'll love to see this. If you have been playing online recently, you could have seen a banner at the bottom left saying that Black Ops 2 was revealed, and gave you a link to see the official reveal trailer for it. Well I look at it, and wanted to share it here.


So here is the video below. Be sure to comment below.


Oh, and you can also use this thread/post for general Call of Duty Chat. That way I don't have to make a separate post for that. =)

Disqus 2012

You know about Disqus, right? They happen to be the people who power our comments here. Just wanted to share one of their projects that are underway...Disqus 2012.


Disqus 2012 is a complete rebuilt of the Disqus system. It has a new embed, with features such as the community box and Dashboard integrated into it.


Below is a picture:
