Opera and yandex reports my blog as phishing site!

Update – Read this guide on how to get out if you have the same problem

 

It was not more than 2 days which yandex started to send me emails telling that my blog is infected by malware

Hi,

Some of the pages on your website may pose a threat to your visitor’s computer security. The number of potentially harmful pages is 2.  You can view the details of our malware scan at http://yandex.com/infected?url=www.ruchirablog.com&l10n=en

And I got worried because yandex is a considerable source and started checking my blog for any type of infections such as index.php exploits (this happens about 95% of the time) and ran many virus checks to see any infections and nothing exciting was found.

My social experiment goes live!

You may have noticed the new widget on my right side bar which is displaying my facebook fan page details. Yeah I have created a facebook fan page for my blog which is located right here . I know Im too late on this, I have created my facebook profile on 2008 and up to the date I didnt thought about having a facebook fan page for my blog because I didnt trusted it to be a good traffic maker.

However I had the feedburner  since the beginning and it counts 1445 subscribers as im writing this. That was a huge achievement and its not like having 1445 facebook fans, it really worth 5X than the facebook likes for me as the email subscriptions really show the encouragement of readers toward reading this blog rather than clicking the like button.

Good news! Amazon SES now supports SMTP!

If you are sending considerable amount of emails to your visitors or customers you may have a problem reaching most of the users inbox because the risk of getting your IP’s blacklisted etc. So using your own servers to send emails for like 1000 users per day is a disaster because of the possibility of getting blacklisted. And a simple workaround for this problem is using Google Apps mail and its SMTP functionality.

How to download Facebook photo albums of friends and yourself

If you want to download pictures from internet its easy as right clicking on it -> Save Image as But if you want to download lots of pictures like facebook album it wont be easy to right click on every one and saving it.

There are many apps,software’s are designed to help you with this issue. One is FBdownloader  thats the most popular one but I found that its not convenient as it should be. You should give your fb login credentials to use it and you can only download your frinds photos and your photos but even to download your friends photo albums, they must have set the albums are public and even when you can view it on web browser fbdownloader wont allow to download photo albums of your friends if they marked them as “Private” or “Friends only” .  So its not a good option.

And when I was searching for the most convenient and easy solution I found great Google Chrome extension for doing this.
