Share blogs with Facebook

7:51 AM    No comments


I believe the most effective alternative to share blogs with Facebook is the Facebook Application "Networked Blogs." It adds a tab to your Facebook Fan/Like Page, and has the option to publish your recent Feed to your Fan Page Wall (https://www.facebook.com/networkedblogs#!/networkedblogs?sk=app_4949752878).


It also has additional features where you can interact with other bloggers through the Facebook Application, as well as opportunities to promote your blog through another community. I know some of you have opted to "push" your blog to your Facebook Fan Page from your blogging software (WordPress, etc.), but this is another way of doing that, if the standard "Publish" option just doesn't do what you had anticipated.

HTML5 Form Elements

HTML5 New Form Elements

HTML5 has several new elements and attributes for forms.
This chapter covers the new form elements:
  • <datalist>
  • <keygen>
  • <output>

Browser Support

Tag IE Firefox Opera Chrome Safari
<datalist> No 4.0 9.5 No No
<keygen> No 4.0 10.5 3.0 No
<output> No 4.0 9.5 10.0 5.1

<datalist> Element

The <datalist> element specifies a list of options for an input field.
The list is created with <option> elements inside the <datalist>.
To bind a <datalist> to an input field, let the list attribute of the input field refer to the id of the datalist:

Example

Webpage: <input type="url" list="url_list" name="link" />
<datalist id="url_list">
<option label="W3Schools" value="http://www.w3schools.com" />
<option label="Google" value="http://www.google.com" />
<option label="Microsoft" value="http://www.microsoft.com" />
</datalist> 
Tip: The <option> elements should always have a value attribute.

<keygen> Element

The purpose of the <keygen> element is to provide a secure way to authenticate users.
The <keygen> element is a key-pair generator. When a form is submitted, two keys are generated, one private and one public.
The private key is stored on the client, and the public key is sent to the server. The public key could be used to generate a client certificate to authenticate the user in the future.
Currently, the browser support for this element is not good enough to be a useful security standard.

Example

<form action="demo_form.asp" method="get">
Username: <input type="text" name="usr_name" />
Encryption: <keygen name="security" />
<input type="submit" />
</form> 
Tip: The <option> elements should always have a value attribute.
