Is Your Website Really Down or Is It Just You?

it happens sometimes, you are not able to access your blog/website and rest of the world is still enjoying your fabulous writing.This post is to remind people to bookmark this tool, because we have seen people who openup Google and try some keywords to find this tool. They already know the tool, but forgot to bookmark.

Some times it’s difficult to know whether your website is actually down for everyone or only for you!

1. Your IP address might have got blocked somehow.
2. Your internet connection might be the victim.
3. Your browser might have blocked the site, for some weird reason 🙂

Anyway, it happens sometimes, you are not able to access your blog/website and rest of the world is still enjoying your fabulous writing.

To know whether its just you or everyone, we can use this wonderful tool called Downforeveryoneorjustme.com. Most of you know this tool already, but if you forgot to bookmark it, then do it now. And those of you who had not heard of this tool, then take note of it and bookmark – it will surly come handy in difficult times.

I Love the simplicity of the website. There are no ads plastered all around and making you search for the place to put your website URL and hit enter only to get more of ads and some popups and a video playing and then telling “Try Again!”. Don’t worry about such things, Downforeveryoneorjustme is as simple as Google.com.

This post is to remind people to bookmark this tool, because we have seen people who openup Google and try some keywords to find this tool. They already know the tool, but forgot to bookmark. So they try all sorts of keywords – Website down only me, blog down for everyone or just me, down everyone or just me, etc. Instead, if you bookmark it, you will be more comfortable when the need arises.

Add Language Translation to your Website

It is notable that, the majority of internet users are from non-English speaking community. Thus, its important to take care of non-English speaking visitors.

The most popular free Web-based language translation tools are offered by Google, AltaVista Babelfish and WorldLingo and some other wordpress plugins.

But all these services may not provoid 100% perfect translation. But we can relay on Google Translator, as there is an option where anybody can suggest the correct translations, in case Google Translator has translated wrongly. So we can say that, Google Translator is a constantly improving service.

Implementing Google Translator:

Just copy and paste the code to your wordpress blog, wherever you want the translator tool to appear.


<table id=webtable><tr><td>

</select></td><td>
<input type=hidden name=hl value="en"><input type=hidden name=ie value="UTF8"><input type=submit value="Translate"></form></td></tr></table>

If you are using blogspot.com then just replace < ?php the_permalink() ?> with < $BlogItemPermalinkUrl$> from the code and it should work fine with blogspot.

Google Translator can translate English to / from Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese-Traditional, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese-Simplified, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Swedish.
The above list and the above code will be updated, as and when Google adds some new languages into its language translation tool.

We have implemented this tool in our blog too, and its working fine. And there are many visitors to this blog, from non-English speaking countries(as per Google-analytics report).
You can test this tool in our blog. We have placed it in the right side sidebar, with the heading “TRANSLATOR”. Below is a screen shot….
