Displaying Gravatars in comments

      To refresh your memory, Gravatars are little user images from Gravatar.com that are displayed against your comments in the theme (if the theme is built to support Gravatars). A lot of WordPress themes are built without the support of Gravatars. So, here is some help for you to add Gravatars in your theme. Open up your comments.php file from the theme folder. Find this piece of code :-

<?php comment_text() ?>
Replace the above code with the following code :-
<div class="gravs">
<?php if (get_bloginfo('version')>=2.5)
echo get_avatar( $comment->comment_author_email, $size = '50', $comment->comment_author_link);?>
<?php comment_text() ?>
</div>
<br clear="all" />

The above code will display the Gravatars. Now let us add some CSS to the style.css file for your theme.
.gravs {margin-top:20px;}
.avatar {float:left; margin-right:5px; margin-bottom:5px; padding:3px; border:1px solid #999999;}
When you check your theme again, you will see the Gravatar images against your comments.

Windows Operating System have a default built in tools that we can use to manage our installation or install or uninstall software in the computer. The usual tools and the fastest is through this steps. Go to Start > Control Panel > Add remove Programs and we presented with window that contained 3 (three) main functions.

• Change or Remove Programs ( Change or Un-install Software )
• Add New Programs ( Install New Software )
• Add Remove Windows Component ( Add or remove Windows Component )

Now, the issue is “ if someone use your computer , and go to this section and try to “un-installing” your Software ? “ ( by accident or not). Would it be safe that someone who use your computer can’t access to this windows section..?

This is one way to prevent that from happen and to make the “Change or Remove Programs” section Hidden.

1. Click “START” then “RUN”
2. Type “REGEDIT” in the pop up window box.
3. Go to or select “HKEY_CURRENT _USER then select SOFTWARE then select MICROSOFT then select WINDOWS then select CURRENT VERSION then select POLICIES then select UNINSTALL.. I assume , maybe the “UNINSTALL folder doesn’t exist ( so, we create one ) use Right Click button on the Mouse and on the pop up window select “NEW” then choose “KEY”. On the “New Key Name” type “Uninstall”.
4. After that click on “EDIT Menu” then choose “NEW” then select “DWORD Value”. Give it name “NoRemovePrograms”.
5. Then “Right Click” on the “NoRemovePrograms” Dword Value and then select “Modify” then change the number from”0” to “1”.

Restart the computer and Check if the “Change or Remove Programs” still visible or not.

Control Panel is important part of windows system. If your computer use by many people and if the Control Panel can be accessed by the wrong person it can make windows system crash and damage. So, if we don't want others to change or damaging your computer, you must limited access to the control panel section. One of the widely use ways to prevent others to access the control panel is to "HIDE" the control Panel. If it's hidden then nobody can gain access to the control panel or "LOCK" the control panel.

Here are the steps to prevent others to gain access to the control panel :

• Click "START" then "RUN"
• On the Window Box type"gpedit.msc" and press "Enter"
• Now on the GGpedit window select "User Configuration" then select "Administrator Template" then select "Control Panel"
• On the control Panel section "double click on "Prohibit access to the Control Panel"
• Choose "Enabled" from the option that pop up from the "Prohibit access to the Control Panel" Properties.
• Now you have to restart your computer

After restarting the computer check on the Control Panel section. Is it visible to you or not...? if not that mean you have successfully "hide" your Control Panel Section.

Hope to write more..and feel free to leave your comment for my improvement and motivation.
