How to show the Blogger widgets on your blogspot blog Homepage Only or Post Page Only

This post explains how to show the Blogger widgets( like links,adsense ads,etc) on your blogspot blog Homepage Only or Post Page Only:

Usually, by default.. when we add a widget item like link units, profile, Archives, Adsense ads,Pictures,etc in Blogger blog , it will be displayed in every page of the blog including the homepage, Permalink pages,etc. As you can see, I installed many widgets in this blog in sidebars like Google ads, Donate Me button ,etc which will be displayed in all the pages of the blog.
But, what if you want to display a specific widget like a blog link,ads in only the homepage and not in the post pages and viceversa? If you want to do so, this tip will come in handy...

HOMEPAGE Only widgets,links in Blogger:

→ As usual, if you want to add a new widget/gadget to your blog, just Sign into Blogger dashboard » Layout » Add a Gadget
and select the type of gadget you need and Save the Changes.

Next, we have to add a small piece of code to that widget, so.. it only displays in the Homepage. Just go to Edit html and tick on the 'Expand Widget Templates'.
Notes: Normally, the widgets in the template view starts with this one



<b:widget id=

For example, The label widget looks something like this:



<b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Title' type='Label'>

and html widget looks like:



<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'>

and link list looks like this:




<b:widget id='LinkList2' locked='false' title='Title' type='LinkList'>

(If you want to know exactly what the widget id you need to change, just go to your blog and view the source code and find it.
In Firefox : View » Page Source
In IE : View » Source )

Just below that widget id link, You can see a b:includable tag like this..




<b:includable id='main'>

At this point, most of the task is completed.. Just we have to add a small piece of code below that b:includable tag..

the code is



<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>


and the last thing is, we have to close that b:if tag. Just add this code before the closing tag of b:includable.
Like this:



</b:if>
</b:includable>

So, the final code looks similar like the below screenshot:


That's it! and Don't forget to Save the Changes.
Now, your desired widget/gadget can only be visible in Homepage.

Showing in only Post Pages (Permalink pages):

This will allow you to show a specific widget in only the Post Pages and not in the Homepage.
Just follow the same tutorial above but replace this code.



<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>

with this one:




<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>

Showing Widgets on a Specific Blog Post url:

If you want to dispaly a specific widget on on a particular blog post, just simply follow the above tutorial, but replace this code:




<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>

with this one:




<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "Blog Post URL"'>

Remove Services in Windows including Windows 7

h2>Method 1: Using the SC.EXE command
The SC command-line tool in Windows XP/Vista which can be used to create, edit or delete Services. To delete a service, use the following command-line syntax from a Command Prompt window:

SC DELETE <service_name>

Where <service_name> tag represents the short name of a service, and not its display name. For example, the short name for Automatic Updates service is wuauserv, but its display name is Automatic Updates.) To determine the short name of a service, you use the Services MMC console.

Important: If you’re using Windows Vista, you need to open an elevated Command Prompt to run SC.exe command-line tool.

Method 2: Using the Registry Editor

To manually remove a service from the registry, use these steps:
Start Regedit.exe and navigate to the following branch:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services

The Service and driver entries are present under the above registry key. Each sub-key represents a driver or a Service. You should be able to identify them easily by looking at the DisplayName and ImagePath values in the right-pane in the Registry Editor.
Note: Before modifying / removing a Service, create a System Restore point and/or a complete Registry backup, just in case something happens. Links containing Registry backup instructions are provided below. Once you spot the Service/driver entry, right-click on the key and choose Delete.

Method 3: Using Autoruns

If your edition of Windows XP or Windows Vista does not ship with SC.exe console tool, then may have to edit the registry manually, or use a software utility such as Autoruns. Autoruns is a must-have tool which helps you manage Windows startup, services, drivers, Winsock providers, Internet Explorer add-ons, Shell extensions and much more… Download Autoruns and run it. From the Options tab, tick Hide Microsoft Entries, so that only the third-party entries are listed. This make it easy for you to spot a third-party driver or Service. Press F5 to refresh the listing. Click the Services tab and you can remove unwanted drivers and Services from there.

Windows7 Themes (Hidden)

Windows 7 offers you location specific Aero themes based on the language and location you pick during installation.  Here we will take a look at accessing other hidden themes from different countries.
When you first start the Windows 7 installation the first thing you will do is select a language, time and currency format.  This is where Windows determines what themes you’re presented with by default.

Being from the US I’m presented with location specific themes from the United States with desktop backgrounds such as scenery from Maine, Idaho, Oregon etc.

To access the other international themes copy and paste the following path into the search box and hit Enter.

C:\Windows\Globalization\MCT

In the MCT folder you will find additional themes for Canada, Australia, South Africa, and Great Britain.

You can go in and grab just the Wallpapers…

Or go into the Theme folder double click on the the thumbnail to add it. 

Here you can see I added all of them and now they will be available under the My Themes section for when you want to change them around.

This is a neat little trick that will let you customize Windows 7 with hidden themes already available.  Also if you want to get more themes head over to the Microsoft site.

Or you can even follow the procedure below
