Increase Facebook comment box plugin height

Hi friends welcome back after 6 months. My last post was about e commerce sites 6 months before. It indicates my laziness towards blogging. ha ha .

This time I came here not to give you any solution rather seek your support. Yes I need your support badly.

I am  working on a new project Chiz.in which is a infotainment blog. And the problem is that I am not able to increase the height of the Facebook comment box (where visitors will put their comments) plugin. The reason why I want to increase the height, because a bigger void space will motivate visitors to write something. As visitors already logged in by facebook they definitely say some thing about my post. I googled and searched every where and tried to contact  facebook and wordpress but there was no solution. So I decided to ask you great mind.  Please put you valuable ideas.

The good thing is that comments by facebook plugin are indexed by google. Which means if some one comments something on your blog using facebook comment blog then the words in that comment will be indexed in google as contents of your website.

Enjoy a Happy New Year 2013 .

Get wordpress self hosting blog without paying for hosting and domain

Now you can get the wordpress self hosting (wordpress.org) blog without paying neither for hosting nor for domain.

The free version of wordpress blog (wordpress.com) has limited function, that you can't custom the blog template according to your need nor you can't install adsense ad codes to get some bucks.
The full potential of wordpress can be utilized by downloading the software from wordpress.org and installing it in your server. But most of the server will suck you.
So I recommend you to go for zymic.com which is totally free and have sufficient disc space and bandwidth to meet your demands. And also it is better than 110mb.com as in 110mb you can't opt in for MySQL.
Follow the steps below:-
Step1: Go to CO.CC and regisster a free domain like yourname.co.cc or you can purchase a TLD like yourname.com or you can chose the free domain by zymic like yourname.uuuq.net
Step2: Register with Zymic.com
Step3: Down load the latest version of word press from wordpress.org
Step4: Create a SQL database , user and password in zymic control panel (under MySQL Database Management )
Step5: Extract the wordpress .zip file and then rename the file wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php .
Step6: Open the file wp-config.php in notepad.

Step7: Edit the 4 marked places with your MySQL database details.
Step8: Save the file wp-config.php .
Step9: Rename the entire wordpress folder to public_html.
Step10: Delete the entire public_html folder inside zymic hosting space.
Step11: Upload The public_html folder from your desktop to zymic hosting space by using filezilla software.
Step12: Now open the file http://your-site-address.com/wp-admin/install.php to set up your username and password for your self hosted wordpress blog.

set up a professional website - all free

It's a common man's dream that he will set up a website by his name; but provided it must be free.
But most of the service providers; claiming free website ; their main aim is to advertise their service.
I'm going to tell you a ways to set up a free website easily without any forced advertisements .

To set up a website you need two things 1. Domain name 2. Hosting space

  1. Free Web Hosting Provider: There are thousands of websites claiming free hosting. But I am going to tell you one which is reliable , that is zymic.com , which comes with 5 GB disc space and 50GB monthly bandwidth and many more features.
    Go to www.zymic.com >> Sign up with your e-mail and personal details >> Go to your email inbox and confirm the the mail>> Return to Zymic.com >> Go to "File manger" page >> delete the default "index.html" page >> Create a new file named index.html >> Upload your photos, flash file, video files etc and compose .html files to complete your website building process .
    Now your website is ready with a sub-domain like www.your-user-name.zymic.com .
  • Free Domain Name Provider: To get a free domain name go to www.co.cc >> Register your desire .co.cc [example: www.your-name.co.cc] domain name ( if available ) >> Sign up with your e-mail id and personal details >> Go to your email inbox and confirm the the mail>> return back to www.co.cc >> log in and go to "My account" >> Click set up >> Check "Manage DNS" >> In "name server 1" field put "ns1.zymic.com" and in "name server 2" field put "ns2.zymic.com" >> Click "set up domain" .
    Now return back to zymic.com >> Go to "account profile" page (after logging in) >> Go to "add your own domain" field >> put "your-name.co.cc" >> Click "add/remove my domain now".
    Now your website can be accessed at www.your-name.co.cc , and you can change your site contents at zymic.com

Hooray you are all DONE. Wait for maximum 48 hours for Name Server changes.
After 2 days tell the world about your Lovely website .
Update: With co.cc you can get a custom domain for blogger/blog*spot hosted blogsite , custom domain for microsoft live services and google apps email and more services.
Update: zymic.com is the best free webhosting which is better than 000webhsot and 110mb .
Note: This post is NOT influenced by money from any of the above mentioned websites.

Handling comments ; what should blogger beta do?

Comments play important role in blogging. Comments motivate the author for writing more articles . If an article gets more number of quality comments it would be attracted by visitors.
But I think Blogger.com , the leading blogging platform , does not give more importance on handling comments. Here are some fields on which they should concentrate to give good blogging experience for blog writes.

1. Comment posting field inside the post instead of opening a pop up window or in a external page.
2. Trackback comments option so that one will be notified when some replies to his comments.
3. Recent comments widget.
4. Profile photo inside comments.
5. Two comments should be separated by different background colors.

Haloscan.com provides plugin to fulfill first 3 requirements, but it is not worthy for a older blog writer because it deletes previous comments. Hacks are available for rest 2 queries.
