Vertical menu for Page List and Link List at Blogger.

Hi bloggy readers.

       Adding the Vertical Menu in blog could be very important thing to do in order to make it easier for visitors to find any important page that relates to your blog. I decided to create a stylish menu for myself, however after all I decided to share it with all of you. This menu is CSS coded and includes the same style for “Page List” widget and “Link List” widget within Blooger.

It is the same menu as you can see in my right side panel and it is very easy to install to your blog. If you are using vertical menu just click on the “+add to blogger icon”, which opens “Add Page Element” page. Leave the Title empty and click on Add Widget. It is recommended, but not necessary to move the “HTML/JavaScript” to the bottom and click save button. That’s it; you can now enjoy your new vertical menu.

My Hard drive: problem and solution

       Recently my SEAGATE'S Barracuda 7200.11 hard drive with all my data and work failed which caused me an enormous headache, since most of my crucial files were not backed up.

Description of the problem:
“A new self-bricking feature apparently resides in faulty firmware microcode which will rear its ugly head sometime at boot detection. Essentially the drive will be working as normal for a while, then - out of the blue - it'll brick itself to death. The next time you reboot your computer the drive will simply lock itself up as a failsafe and won't be detected by the BIOS. In other words, there's power, spin-up, but no detection to enable booting.”

       After a huge research, how I could get my data back I came across THIS tech forum thread which is explaining the problem and offers a fairly extreme and dangerous solution to fixing this particular firmware bug.

Personal Website Redesign

       In November I created my personal website, mainly to showcase my portfolio.  While I was looking for a good provider I ran across wix.com. At the time they were offering flash based websites for anyone without any Macromedia flash skills. Whit one year hosting special offer I decided to give it a try.

       I was very pleased with the freedom of the editor they offered, however this system has some downsides as well. For example, if you put many items on the site (pictures, effects, animations, etc...) it could decrease loading times rapidly and most importantly you don’t have access to the root folder uploaded files.

Due to loading times I was forced to utilize my design a bit and make some changes.
