Taking a Driving License

Having a driving license is so important while you are driving on the road. It is something which gives you assurance that you will not be in any serious trouble if you have hit someone accidently. 

There are two ways to get a driving license. One is getting it by going through all the procedure and other is short-cut. Our system has made it very discouraging process for a common man. Long queues, documentation, complicated procedure, several visits and bad driving test system have forced people to adopt some kind of short-cut. 

There are three main steps to acquire a driving license. 

1. Learning License 

The first step is to obtain a learning license. It is easiest one as compared to other two. Get copy of you ID card and reach at DSP licensing office. Your patience will be tested here. So be mentally prepared to stand in queues for long time. If you are ‘Poond’ (flirt) by nature then you should be happy; longer queues, more will be the opportunity to stare at lady WardensJ. 

2. Documentation 

Few documents required including a medical certificate. From here you start spending money. If you look to get signed your medical certificate by an M.B.B.S doctor yourself then probably you will get tired of all this and cancel the program of getting a license. But there is an easy way of getting it signed. Spend Rs.100 and you will get your form signed within 5 minutes. 

3. Driving Test 

This is the most difficult phase for those who are looking to get license through procedural ways. Here your knowledge about signals and driving skills will be tested. Don’t think you can pass this stage without any reference or spending some money. It seems that licensing staff aims at failing maximum people so that they come through some agent next time. This fills their pockets as well. If you have hired any agent then no worries you will get your license even if you are fail. Otherwise you will keep going for test after each 42 days.

Making AJAX Website Crawlable

Many people want to build website using AJAX principles but are afraid of not being crawled by search engines. Through AJAX, particular section of webpage alters without refreshing the entire page. It exchanges data between browser and server without reloading the page. Despite having these functionalities, it is still not favored by search engines.

WHY?????

Data present over Ajax pages behaves like being temporary in nature. That’s why search engines don’t like to crawl it. 

As it is dynamic in nature so it is not practical for crawlers to index such data that is not available while crawling.

Ajax is purely JavaScript and search engines discourage JavaScript.

It is also not supported by sitemaps.

This issue is prevailing from the very beginning of implementation of Ajax for the development of websites but my interest into it developed when I came across a project on Scriptlance. A web owner was very annoyed because Google was not considering his pages for crawling.

His pages were linked this way

Google was viewing only 1 page of his website while he has more pages to show.

What’s Solution?????

This is what I learned from spending few hours on research. A little JavaScript function that’s part of ‘HTML5 History API’ called window.history.pushState () can make our Ajax lives easier. It changes the path of the URL that appears in the user's address bar. Until now, that's not been possible.

Look at this page http://html5.gingerhost.com/

On clicking cities on the top navigation, you'll be able to see that only the main content is being loaded in with each click; the page navigation. 

Other than Ajax this much fast speed of loading page is not viewable so far at least by me.

All Your Favorite Content at One Place

It was my second day in search of some sort of tool through which I may get updates about my favorite content. Tried few techniques but couldn’t find the ultimate solution. Bookmarking was a good option but it still requires manually checking of each individual blog for updates. Email subscription was another available option but in vain as all blogs haven’t option of email subscription. Finally my search ended when I came across Google Reader. 

If you find yourself repeatedly visiting a website to check for updates, or if you just stumble across a page you want to keep track of, you can easily subscribe to it in Google Reader.

Log In to Google Reader with your Gmail Account, Click on Subscribe and paste the URL which you want to track.

You will start getting updates whenever something is posted on your favorite Blog. Interface is very convenient and handy. 

If you want to create and manage all your favorite content at one place then give a try to Google Reader. You will find it useful.
