With the increase in online Video chatting , Its not surprising to have come across this unique feature of turning your mobile phone into a web cam.

Online chat users now have the ability to Video chat with their mobile with the help of online  software’s .   The app basically consists of two parts: the ‘client’ application on your phone, and a webcam server installed on your PC that processes the images sent from your camera.

There are 2 ways in which you can connect your mobile to your PC: 1) Via Bluetooth and 2) Via WiFi . And I think its just a matter of time Before a wired connection will come out as well

How does it work ???

Mobile Phone Web Cam

Its a simple software installation first on your PC and then on your phone , then connect the 2 devices via Bluetooth or Wifi.

There are a number of softwares that can be downloaded and a lot of them are free !!!

Hi Narendra , this post will give the basic instructions for using worpress in ur website or creating a website in wordpress. I presume U’ve already done the initial step that I instructed that is : download wordpress and unzip it .

Now U can rename the default folder that is “Wordpress” to the desired name. In the case here I named the folder “blog” therefore the url is “www.gavinmendes.com/blog”  .

Now the only page that you need to edit is wp-config-sample.php. So Bfore that create an SQL database and then fill in the details in wp-config-sample.php . Rename it to wp-config.php and save.

Now upload the entire folder “Wordpress” ( or whatever name U’ve given it ) to your server .

note : if your hosting provider has an option called “FANTASTICO” ( check in the control panel)- U can then ignore all the above steps and just install wordpress from there.  U don’t have to create an SQL database or folder called blog . Fantastico will do it automatically.

Now go to ur browser and type ur url . In this case www.gavinmendes.com/blog . And if all works well it will redirect to http://www.gavinmendes.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php , fill in the info and once the blog is set up . U can loggin jus go through all the options on the dashboard .

Log In and Log Out are standard options which are there by default. If U want members to log in as well go to Settings > General and check “Anyone can register” .

If in case U want to add more features go to pluggin > Add New – and install additional features to ur blog .

The most imp point is “How to make wordpress look more like ur website or How to make it look like a website” .  There are 2 ways I would suggest .      Go to themes and install the theme that fits your website the best . Install it and then download it to ur remote computer . and edit the different attributes such as header.php , footer.php , images , etc.

The other way is to create ur own theme and then upload it and  activate it on ur blog. But I found this  too complicated as its time consuming and U need to have a good knowledge of php.

I guess this covers all ur queries , let me know if U have any other doubts !!!

I just came accross this script while I was going through an old website I had done . Its a java script for Disabling the right click and save option. Its idealy used if U dont want viewers to copy pics from ur website.

<script language=JavaScript>
<!–

//Disable right mouse click Script
//By Gavin (gavinmendes@gmail.com)

var message=”Function Disabled!”;

///////////////////////////////////
function clickIE4(){
if (event.button==2){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}

function clickNS4(e){
if (document.layers||document.getElementById&&!document.all){
if (e.which==2||e.which==3){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}

if (document.layers){
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
document.onmousedown=clickNS4;
}
else if (document.all&&!document.getElementById){
document.onmousedown=clickIE4;
}

document.oncontextmenu=new Function(“alert(message);return false”)

// –>
</script>

If in case it does’nt work . U might want to check the following : 1) make sure the script is in the body of your HTML page, 2) Ideally this script is meant for HTML only ( I dont think it would work well in php, as the scripts might conflict) , The script should not be inside any angle brackets of a tag – example < > .
