Dot Net Framework 3.5 Not Installing on Windows 8? Fix it Now!

You may face a common problem while using Windows 8. Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 is not installed with Windows 8. And several programs may ask you install this. And you can't install this from your PC. It will ask you to connect to the net and use Windows Update. 

By default Windows 8 comes with .Net Framework 4.5 and it doesn't include 3.5. When you try to install .Net 3.5 that you previously downloaded from web the you will see the following message. 

And you will get the same message while installing some some programs that is developed using .Net 3.5 platform. And you will not able to run those programs on your PC! This is a very bad job by Microsoft. A great trouble for Windows 8 users. 

But today you will get the solution. You've install this using command line. I mean you have to use Command Prompt. And surprisingly you Windows 8 DVD includes the .Net Framework 3.5! 

Method 1 (Offline Installation using cmd):

1. Enter your Windows 8 Installation Disk on DVD Drive.
2. Now run Command Prompt as Administrator. (Hint: Start > Type cmd > Now right click on Command Prompt and hit on Run as Administrator from the bottom)
3. Now copy the following command and paste it in the command prompt window. Or type the following line in command prompt. Press Enter (To paste the command in command prompt, click the right button of mouse and select paste)
4. Now .Net Framework will be installed within few minutes. 

DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:h:\sources\sxs

Remember: h is the drive letter of DVD drive. Change it with your DVD drive letter. 


Method 2 (Online Method using Windows Update): 

If you follow all the instructions of method 1 you will be able to install .net 3.5 properly. But if there is any problem for example- you don't have DVD drive, or your Windows DVD doesn't contain it then you can install it directly from Windows Update option. More or less you've to download 200 MB data from internet. 

Follow the instruction below: 

Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features on or off > Mark the option .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) > OK. 

Now you will see a window like the image above. Hit on Install This Feature. And make sure you're connected to the net. That's it.  


Secret Tips: If you upgrade to Windows 8 from Windows 7, then you get .Net Framework 3.5 automatically enabled !!


Installing a Windows language pack on Windows 8 before installing the .NET Framework 3.5 will cause the .NET Framework 3.5 installation to fail. Install the .NET Framework 3.5 before installing any Windows language packs.

How to Delete All Emails from Gmail Inbox?

Couple of days ago one of my classmates gave me his email ID and password. Cause there are 12000 email messages in his inbox! What happened actually? He used this email ID to open a Facebook account. And he didn't know how to turn off the Facebook notifications. He also gave me the FB username and password. I turned off the notifications. But what about deleting 12000 mails in the inbox? 

If you have an email ID with FB, Google+ and Twitter account activated then it will take less than 3 years to overload your inbox. So after opening any social account, your first task should be turning off the unnecessary notifications from those accounts.

You can turn off the notifications from the settings option of those sites. You can only allow  notifications which are related to the security of your account. Likes, sharing, following these types of notifications should be disabled if you wanna use your mail properly. Otherwise you will lose important mails among unnecessary mails. 

But if your mail box is already filled up by thousand of unnecessary mails then what? You have to delete these manually. Well the Gmail users shouldn't suffer! 

In this post I'm gonna share how to clean up Gmail Inbox easily. Gmail has a nice system to select all the mails of inbox and clean them just by one click! To do this you've sign in your Gmail account as standard view. Basic HTML view doesn't have that facility. 

Some old browsers (like IE 6 or 7) may not allow you to use Standard View. In that case you've to upgrade your browser. Look at the bottom of your inbox. If you're not using Standard View then you will see a button named Standard View. Hit on that option to activate standard view. And if you doesn't see anything like that then you're already using Standard View. Let's start now: 

1. Go to your Gmail Inbox. (Standard View)
2. Just below the search box you will see a selection option. (See the image below)
3. Hit on Select. Now only 50 emails will be selected from the current page. 
4. Now you will see a message (See image) All 50 conversations on this page are selected
5. Just after it - Select all 200 conversations in Inbox
6. Hit on the Select all to select all mails of your inbox. 
7. Hit on the Delete button to delete all mails. You're done :) 

Troubleshooting: There is a problem. Select option will select all emails. You can't deselect some of them. But if you've some necessary mails that you don't wanna delete then how you will keep them? 

Very easy. You have to move some emails in different labels by using the move to option. You know Gmail has some labels as personal, travel etc. You can also create new labels. There is an option to create new labels. Do it with the help of image below:

Post Writing Guidelines for Bloggers

Well this is not an easy topic to write about. You could never imagine how much responsibility is to be taken when you are discussing about any guideline. Because whatever you write as guidelines/ policies these might be applied by other people. If they get benefited then it's your credit. But if they face any problem by following your principles you should be held responsible for that. 

Anyway, I will try my best to provide you some guidelines which I believe must be considered before publishing a post. These tips will be very useful for you 

• To increase search ranking
• To increase visitors 
• To retain existing visitors
• Most importantly to improve your writing quality

Read the whole post carefully and participate through your valuable comment . . . :) 

• Post Title: The first and most important part to the search engines to display your site at the first page. Attractive post title is also helpful to encourage visitors to enter your site. The title shouldn't be unnecessary long. And you must try to keep it as meaningful as possible. 

• Post URL: You can create custom URL/ link for a post. Both blogger and WordPress let your customize the post URL. It is not only important to the search engines but also to the visitors of your site.

• Contents: The most important things to keep your visitors in touch! Your contents should be attractive and useful. Information provided must be accurate. Contents should be written in a clear and easy language. Try to make your contents unique and exclusive. But if you're not able to create unique contents never try to copy and paste from others. This is strictly prohibited by Google. When you write the contents from other website first you have to take permission and then you should refer to that site. 

• Labels/ Tags/ Keywords: Labeling is also very important. Proper labeling helps the visitors to find the right post within your site. And definitely the labels have a great impact in search results. So you should carefully use labels/ keywords in the posts. But never try to use the irrelevant labels or tags in your posts. If you do so, you could be blacklisted both by the visitors and search engines! Be Careful! 

• Formatting: Very very important. Make the texts bold, italicize or underline them when and where necessary. Also use different fonts to highlight some parts. Use numbers and bullets when giving a list of something. Use quoted text where applicable. You should keep sufficient space between paragraphs. Never type the whole post in a single para. It makes the reader bore and uneasy. 

• Search Description: This is a lovely feature of blogger. Usually the first few sentences of a post are shown by search engines in search results. WordPress automatically do this for the users. But if you're the user of blogger blog, then you have to do this manually. This could be boring for you. But this feature lets you customize the search description. Because the first few sentences may not be relevant to your post or may not able to attract visitors. Read more about search description. 

• Post Length: What is the optimum length for a post? Actually there is no rigid rule. Post should be descriptive enough so that it clarifies your message to the readers. But it doesn't mean that you will make your post unnecessary long. It should be precise, accurate and clear. Most of the bloggers try to write more than 500 words. You can also practice this rule. Because the more you write, the higher is the chance to be matched with the search queries of the visitors. 

• Language: Your language should be friendly and attractive so that the visitors feel free to read the contents. It should be easy and meaningful. Never try to be over smart in using the language style. 

• Grammar: Well 100% accurate grammar is not important for you unless you're writing something about language or grammar. But it doesn't mean that you will not care about grammatical accuracy. You should be careful enough to avoid mistakes. If the visitors find too much grammatical errors they may feel bore and lose interest to your site! 

• Color, Text Alignment, Text Size, Font: These issues are crucial to look your posts attractive and readable. Use of color is okay but only when it's necessary. Black is the best. But when necessary, you can use any color. Text alignment should be justified but when required you can use left, center or right too. Font size shouldn't be too large or too small. It should be readable. Use large text when necessary. You can use any font. But always avoid stylish fonts (ie. Monotype Corshiva, Vivaldi, Vladimir) in normal text. I mean use a font that is easy to read and understand. My personal choice Georgia. 

• Image: A single image might be worth of thousand words. So you should use relevant image with your post (never copy from others). In case of using image you should consider some factors. Image placement should be proper. Make sure it doesn't looks odd and hinders the visitors to read properly. Image should be attractive and creative. Use the post link with the image. Give it a proper title text and alt text. Avoid extra large size images. Because they consumes data and increase your site's loading time. 

• Outbound Links: You can also use reference links with your post which may be helpful for the visitors to know more. And this is also important to Google. But never share too much links with the post. 

If you follow these rules I think you will be a good writer for sure. And your site will get more visitors and higher ranking soon. Along with these rules you must ensure that your site loads faster. Visitors never like a slow site. Site's design should be attractive. Never place too much social sharing buttons on your site. Be careful while placing Ads on your site. 

You should also follow my style. I think my posts are properly designed. If you think something is wrong then please inform me. Waiting for your feedback . . . :)

Resize Image by Free Image Converter

Sometimes you may need to re size high quality images. Maybe you captured some photos by high quality digital camera. Most of the cases a photo maybe over 3 MB in size! 

If a single image is more than 3 MB in size and you have to send 30 images to someone by email then it maybe more than 90 MB. If your net connection is very poor or bandwidth is very limited then can you send these images to that person? 

What do you do in that case? Looking for a good network or not send at all? 

Well this problem has a very good solution. A 3 MB size photo maybe ideal for printing purpose. But only for viewing purpose it is not necessary to be more than 100 KB! And after re-sizing the image your 90 MB image folder will be less than 3 MB!!!

Let's discuss how to re-size the high quality image. 

Follow the instructions below: 

1. Download the Free Image Converter from this link. Free means free. It has no premium version yet. 100% free of cost. 
2. Now install this on your PC. It supports all running versions of Windows i.e. XP, Vista, 7 and 8. 
3. After installing you should find an icon of the image converter on your desktop. Double click on it to open. 
4. Click on the Add Images button to select few images. Or choose Add Folder option to choose a large image folder. 
5. Now have a look at the right panel- simple options. Select size and quality. Or keep it in default settings- size 800 * 60 and quality 70. 
6. Then hit on the Simple Convert. 
7. Now a new window will ask you to choose a location to store the converted images. Choose a specific folder or create a new one. Done! Just wait for the operation to be finished! 

Note: I've personally tested this software. I've converted my 1 GB photo folder. There were more than 400 photos. After converting the size it was just 20 MB! And it took less than 5 minutes! Quality was also satisfactory.
