Bloggers are constantly looking to attract more readers. Of course, content is almost always everything, but spicing up texts or images with some interesting gadgets can definitely increase the popularity of the majority of weblogs. After a testing period, Google has finally launched the Google Gadgets for blogs. All the fun applications that have ever been built by Google engineers or third party developers, and which are in Google’s database, are available for all bloggers.
People can choose whatever application they like from the Gadgets Directory, integrated in the layout of blogs. Users who have an older version of the dashboard, which displays the “templates” button, have to update it to the “layout” button. From there, in a few easy steps, everyone can upload various applications to make their blog more interesting and useful to readers. Gadgets automatically adjust to the width of the sidebar. Their height, measured in pixels, can be adjusted to make the applications more or less prominent on the webpage, according to personal preferences. Read More »

Free fonts are amongst the most popular downloads for entry level and professional graphic designers and typographers. They can provide a way for designers to express themselves uniquely without having to create a new font themselves or spend a lot of money purchasing a high priced professionally designed font for use only once or twice.
Aside from downloadable free fonts, there are numerous fonts that are available by default on all modern computers. Microsoft bundles a set of commonly used fonts with their Windows operating systems, as does Apple with OS X and many of the purveyors of Linux distros.

Is your mouse not ergonomic enough? If you answered yes then here’s the mouse for you. The Lite-On Technology Moldable Mouse is made from lightweight moldable clay covered by a nylon and polyurethane fabric. You mold it into the shape you want, slap on the buttons and scroll pad (which communicate with the device via radio) and you’re good to go. The design was even good enough to win a Red Dot Design Award. I know I really need one — I think I’m getting crappy tunnel from my non-ergonomic mouse. This would be great for people like me or anyone that was born with a lobster claw instead of an arm. And if you were born with a lobster claw instead of an arm I want to eat it. Read More »
