Stylesheet For Better Listing Using li:before And Word-Wrap

Sometimes using default list-style-type just can't make the layout looks much better. It looks like this on one of my client's WordPress website.


The second line is wrapped below the > symbol. Using the default list-style-position: outside; won't solve the problem. The only solution is to use table display style to make it looks like a table cell and row. So using the following stylesheet and display attribute will solve the problem.


Massively Delete Folders & Files on Windows 7 Without Prompt

I was having so much troubles to delete a folder that contains huge amount of files. Recently, I started playing with Node.JS and MEAN.js. The mean stack installed lots files (over 120MB, 17000 files) on my computer running Windows 7.

Delete lots file on Windows takes a long time and sometimes break the process and hung my computer. It, by default, removes files and it's subfolder from the folder I want to delete to recycle bin. You then have to right click on the recycle bin to clean the files.

There gotta be a simpler ways to clean files without cleaning the recycle bin.

So here are the ways to make that happen.


Add Google AdSense Banner On Weebly Blog Section

If you are reading this post, you already know about Weebly. A free web builder to create beautiful website and blog. I posted some useful tips not too long ago about Weebly. You can read them here.

Now you may already know that Weebly allows you to post Google AdSense code and share 50/50 profit with Weebly. I would say, it's still a good deal. However, adding Google AdSenee on Weebly's blog section isn't straight forward. You can add an Ad banner in individual blog post or on the side bar, but you can't add them in the blog loop. You can't even change the layout or color easily.

So the only way to add Google AdSense banner in Weebly blog section is to hack the CSS and HTML DOM object.


So it will look like this on one of the website I build for generating passive income.

As you can see, I have one tall banner on the side bar and one wide 728x90 banner below the first post in the post loop. I actually have an other wide banner below the 3rd post. 

So here is how it works. There is an DIV element in the loop that seperate the blog post. It looks like this. 
<div class="blog-post-separator"></div>
So I want to insert my Google AdSense code within the <div>  section.

Here is how the code looks like.

Fixed: MailChimp Success Message Missing With Conflict jQuery Issue

There is a problem with Mailchimp, when you use embed HTML code to show mailchimp subscription form on your website. The error message does show, but the successful or require email confirmation (double opt-in) message is missing.

This happens due to that jQuery library is loaded more than once in the page. For example, if you are running a WordPress blog (version 3.9.1 or later), the jQuery is loaded by the theme in most cases. The jQuery library may load more than twice, if you also install third-party plugin that is using jQuery or jQuery UI.

You can see the error in the browser debugger. "$ is not a function" at following line.
function mce_success_cb(resp){
    $('#mce-success-response').hide();

It means $ isn't an object or function after the jQuery was loaded.

The easy solution is to add the following code after "function mce_success_cb(resp){"


jQuery(document).ready( function($) {

Remember to close the function call at the end of "function mce_success_cb(resp){" bracket.

});
