Adobe PhotoShop for Ubuntu

Now a days I only log into windows when I have some work related to photoshop (well I don't play AOE these days).I personally didn't liked GIMP so I want Adobe Photoshop in my Ubuntu. Its very irritating to switch to windows just to use photoshop.Finally i can say good bye to windows. Ubuntu :-*

 

Install Wine

Wine allows you to run many Windows programs on Linux.

If you wish to install the one in the official repositories. 

Installation options:

1. Open Ubuntu software Center and search for wine and install it.
2. From Terminal:
   
   
   • sudo apt-get install wine
   • winecfg
   (this is what I did)

If you wish to have the latest version you're better off adding the official wine ppa.In a terminal type:

• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install wine1.5
• winecfg

winecfg command generates a ~/.wine folder. To see such files Edit Preferences > check "Show hidden and backup files"

If by any chance you messed with it and you want to reconfigure:

Steps to reconfigure Wine :

• You should be able to rename ~/.wine to ~/.wine.backup 
• run the wine configuration program from the menu or from the command-line (winecfg)
• a new ~/.wine will be regenerated and you will still have the old wine folder.

Add facebook like button to every post and blog

The Like button is a simple plugin that lets people quickly share content on Facebook.
Clicking a Like button on a site creates a connection in the graph between the content and the person who clicks the button. Clicking the Like button also publishes an Open Graph Like action, and displays stories on that person's timeline and their friends' news feeds. This story will link back to the site and drive distribution of content.

To add facebook like button to every post

•  open your blogs dashboard 
•  select Template option

Before editing your template Back up your Template in your PC

• Click on Back / Restore option in top right corner
• Click Download full template
  

• Click on Edit HTML
  

• Click on the html text 
• Press Ctrl+F key and search for "<data:post.body/>"

  <div class='post-body entry-content' expr:id='&quot;post-body-&quot; + data:post.id' itemprop='description articleBody'>
  <data:post.body/>
   
• Paste the following code just above <data:post.body/>
  code:
  <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;static_page&quot;'> <iframe allowTransparency='true' expr:src='&quot;http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=&quot; + data:post.canonicalUrl + &quot;&amp;send=false&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=90&amp;action=like&amp;font=arial&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=21&quot;' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:90px; height:20px;'/> </b:if>
