What's Bounce Rate Actually

When a user or visitor lands on your website page but leaves the page in nothing less than 10secs thus not clicking on any other links he is said to have bounced back.

According to research the highest bounce rate should have is 80% anything higher than that is bad, though when looking at great sites like wikipedia they have a high bounces rate and it doesn't affect their rankings on search engine result pages this is due to quick facts and statistics people only used them for.

How To Use Android As Your Computer's Operating System


" Leaving your your Android smartphone does not create a barrier to using Android "

Rather than missing all those Android App on your PC, or laptop, consider Android as your Operating System. Sometimes we will have the urge of using that Twitter or Facebook App on our PC, even those HD Android games are irresistible. Although Android is our smartphone's operating system but we still think it will be much better on computers.

Nevertheless, you should thank the development of Android-x86, a build of Android that is tailored to machines running Intel and AMD processors, rather than the ARM-based CPUs of Android hardware. Installation is somehow easy and straightforward, although:

1.You'll get better results on a machine with a touch sensitive display, even with the mouse attached.
2. If you get it wrong, it could result to the loss of personal data, so it's a good idea to try  Android-x86 in a Virtual Machine first before proceeding with a full install.



FEATURES
Android 4.4 KitKat has support for USB keyboards and your mouse, so you shouldn’t have any problem finding your way around. Some shortcuts are available, however. For instance, the Esc key will exit out of apps, while the Windows key will return you to the homescreen. During installation to hard-disk, Android-x86 support ext3,ext2,ntfs,fat32 extensions.

REQUIREMENTS
1. A new partition on your Windows computer.
 To create a new partition, open the DiskManagement (hold the Windows key, pressing R,then entering diskmgmt.msc) and right-clicking your hard diskdrive. After that select Shrink Volume, reduce by 8GB and then create a new 8GB partition.

2. Download Android (adf.ly/1eSeey) and find the version of 4.4 KitKat you want to download. Some notebooks/netbooks have dedicated builds of Android-x86, so these are recommended for corresponding hardware.

3. A USB flash device or an optical disc.

HOW TO MAKE ANDROID YOUR COMPUTER OS

1. Once you have downloaded your device Android. Burn to optical disc or write to USB flash device using UNetbootin.


2. Now insert the disc and restart your computer to boot from the DVD or otherwise use the USB device.
If you’re using Windows 8 you may need to open Settings>Change PC settings>Update and Recovery>Recovery and select Restart now to select the USB device with Android-x86 on.

3. You can preview how the android will look like. If you love it then proceed.
To preview, there are three Live CD options available, so using the keyboard, select the first – ‘Run Android-x86 without installation’. If you have display issues, reboot and select ‘Live CD – VESA mode’.

4. If you are captivated by the results of the Live CD version of Android-x86, reboot again using the hardware power switch.
 On the installation CD menu select ‘Installation – Install Android-x86 to harddisk’. You’ll be prompted to select a partition. To install locally, select ‘Create/Modify partitions’.


5. After step 4, the disk formatting tool will display available partitions and space.
Use the arrow keys to select New and create a new partition, setting it as Primary and tap Enter again to select the partition. Select Bootable to make the partition bootable and Write, confirming with Yes.

6. Exit the disk formatting app with Quit and select the new partition in the new screen. Follow this by selecting the ext3 file system and confirm the selection, paying attention to the warning that any existing data on the partition will be deleted. Then select Yes to proceed.




7. After that Install system directory.
Select Yes to install GRUB and again to add Windows to your boot menu. Finally, select Yes to set-up the /system directory as read-write. This will increase the installation time, but is best for debugging. Then Android will begin installing.



8. Now your computer is on Android. You should see a message confirming a successful installation. Select ‘Run Android-x86’ to boot the newly installed mobile operating system. Soon you’ll see the usual Android set-up screen, asking you to set a language, connect to Wi-Fi and sign-in with your usual credentials.

That is all about making Android as PC's Operating System.

Three (3) Key Features To Check Before Buying Any Android Device

For sure Android device is the coat  everyone rocks now. No one wants to see him/her self using symbian or java phones anymore, even some blackberry users have dumped their blackberry phones for Android devices.
Android phones are the perfect phones to use in this century as there exhibits many unbelievable features.
To be frank not every Android user knows all what his device is capable of doing. A user must have to use his Android phone for several years to be able to use half of the features his device is capable of.
Buying an Android device is not the problem many individuals encounter but what sucks the most is when you buy a wrong choice. This can be very frustrating.
Now, to make sure you are buying the right and durable Android device you will have to read below.
Things you must check before buying any Android device.


1: BATTERY CAPACITY
Am starting with this because it is the major challenge people face after buying an Android device. Novice Android users don't know how to confirm how healthy a battery is, from its details printed at the back of the battery.
To ensure the battery device is strong or durable you can easily look at the body of the battery and locate the "mAh" of the battery. Now when buying any Android devices make sure the battery mAh capacity is up to 3000mAh or higher to have a long lasting battery.


2: Internal storage and RAM
This is also important to know when purchasing any Android device as it responsible for the flexibility of the phone. The internal storage reduces the moment you install any new app. so if your device don't have sufficient internal storage you will not be able to install many apps to your liking. Any android device you're buying, the internal Storage should be at least 8gb.
The RAM plays it role whenever you're running many apps at a time. If your RAM space is not enough for the apps running in your device at the same time it results to slowing and hanging of the phone.
So, to make sure your phone don't slow or hang while running many apps at the same time you will have to make sure the phone RAM space is up to 1GB or more.


3: Processor

Yes! You heard me right. The processor of Android devices should not be neglected because it is what makes your device respond very fast. It also takes care of how fast the downloading and browsing speed of your device will be.
To buy the best Android device this should not be oversight, make sure the phone processor is up to 1.3GHz quad-core processor and above.
By the time you comprehend all these in your criterial when buying an android device, for sure you will be going home with the best Android device.

How To Create And Design Multi-Column Gravity Forms

You can easily create single column forms using the drag and drop builder of Gravity Forms. It is also easy to move the fields by dragging them however to divide the form into multiple columns you will need to use CSS Ready Classes.
What are CSS Ready Classes?
CSS Ready Classes are used to create advanced layouts for Gravity Forms. This is a core feature of Gravity Forms and you don't need any 3rd party plugin to use them. They were incorporated in version 1.5 of Gravity Forms. You can create 2/3 columns layouts by adding them to your form fields.

How to Create 2 Column Forms?
For creating a 2 Column form you have to use 'gf_left_half' and 'gf_right_half' classes. 'gf_left_half ' class aligns the field into left half of the form and 'gf_right_half ' 

class aligns the field into right half.
 Here are the steps to divide the form into equal halves.

·         Open the form which you want to convert into 2 columns.
·         Click on the form field of which you want to change alignment. Go to Advanced tab and add 'gf_left_half' or 'gf_right_half' under CSS Class Name.
·         To align adjacent fields side by side you must align the first field towards left and the next field towards right.

How to Create 3 Column Forms?
Steps for creating 3 Column Forms is similar to those of 2 column forms. The only change is the name of classes.

To align a field the the left you should use 'gf_left_third' , to align a field into middle you should use 'gf_middle_third' and for alinging a field into right you should use 'gf_right_third'.
How to Divide Checkboxes and Radio Buttons into Multiple Columns?
There are special classes to change the layout of checkboxes and radio buttons. You can use gf_list_2col, gf_list_3col, gf_list_4col, gf_list_5col to divide these fields into two, three, four and five columns respectively.
How to Design Multi-Column Gravity Forms?
To design multi-column form you can use Styles and Layouts for Gravity Forms Plugin from WordPress plugin repository. This is a free plugin and works well both on single and multi-column layouts.
Steps to design the forms.
  • Login into WordPress dashboard and open the form in front end of your website. Click on the customize button in admin bar.
  • You will see multiple panels in customizer sidebar. Look for Styles & Layouts Gravity Forms. This panel is created by the plugin after activation.
  • Now you will notice there is only 'Select Form' section inside this panel with a dropdown which list all of all the available form. Select the form which you want to design.
  •  Once you select a form the plugin will automatically save the changes in database and the refresh the page.
  • You have to navigate to 'Styles & Layouts Gravity Forms' again and this time you will see all the sections which you can customize using this plugin. There are more than hundred settings available for customization. 
  • Now navigate to the section for which you want to change the design. You will see all the options like backround color, font  size, font color, margin, padding etc. 
  • Every time you will change a setting the changes will be immediately reflected on the post. Once you have designed the form then click on the Save and Publish button to make the changes permanent.

Does the Layout and Design will Work even after changing Theme?
Since all the changes are done inside Gravity forms as well as Styles and Layouts Plugin so, the changes will not be lost after updating or changing the theme.
