With the increasing number of mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, netbooks it is necessary to have Responsive Design for your Blog if you don't want your visitor zooming in and zooming out of the webpages to read. A Responsive Design results in a Webpage or Website which is easier to navigate through and easy to read. Why Responsive Design? Consider a webpage made for viewing on computer. It uses a Cascading Style Sheet(CSS) for defining its design. When we open same web page on Mobile or tablet, it will still use the same CSS. But since the screen size is significantly small it will give an unpleasant experience to the viewer.  To tackle this situation we follow the Responsive Design approach. How does Responsive Design work? It uses the CSS property called  @media   which lets you check the screen resolution(screen width) of the viewer. By checking the resolution of the viewer it will be apparent whether the viewer is using a computer system  or a mobile ph

By the end of this post you would have learned how you can create an online portal with little to no money i.e. for almost free or actually free where you can sell goods and items of your choice.

Apparently this is one of the Best free game you can find for Xbox One. I happen to have wasted 6 over hours today playing games on Xbox One and went on to play Roblox Speed Run for like 2 hours. I also live streamed on Twitch for sometime and then on YouTube, needless to say I had little to no viewers. Now what is Roblox? Roblox is very much like Minecraft in game play and graphics style. It was launched way back in 2006 (yea I never heard of it) and now it is available on iOS , Android , Xbox One and Windows . Roblox features game mods made by users and as their site claims it has over 15 million games created by users. It's best meant for kids and there are many addicting games like Speed Run which gets frustrating as you progress rather say when you don't progress.  Roblox is Free To Play with in game purchases. Roblox has a lot to be explored. It's massive user base leads to addition of new games and levels everyday. So yea unless you have really a lo

A few days ago I wrote a little trick to improve your ping with BSNL by restarting the router until you get a better ping, well I just came across a solution which works every time. Although it is still not permanent it's just one-time effort you have to do before starting DOTA2.

Like for me, it was Static IP Address: 117.205.84.228 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway or Default Gateway: 117.205.80.1 you can also try the following details Static IP Address: 160.202.185.129 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway or Default Gateway: 160.202.184.1 Leave the rest of the setting as it is and save.

I strongly recommend not looking into articles for improving your Adsense earning before write. Always remember when it comes to blogging there is no short cut way through it unless of course if you spend hundreds of dollars in promotion. Anyways moving forwards these are some tips methods to improve your Adsense earning if you have an established blog with a fine traffic. 1. Writing post on high CPC keywords.
