Use Pictures and Videos sharing services to lower the website loading time

Today, many servers are providing the unlimited web hosting plan in which you can get unlimited web space and bandwidth. But, this does not ensure that your website will load as fast as possible because this depends on many other factors such as image, videos, length of your post. The text of the post does not affect much on loading time of your page as compared to images, videos. If you have videos and images in tens of MB, it will definitely affect your blog or website. So, what's the solution?

You can use image and videos sharing service such as Flickr, Instagram, YouTube, Vimeo, Picasa. All these services provides cloud based services to upload images and videos. You must tried video upload to YouTube and Vimeo and then, extract the embed code given below the video to embed on your blog and site. It helps you manage your website space, if limited and does not share bandwidth with your site.

For images:

- To avoid direct uploading images to your website, you should upload images to Flickr or Instagram or Picasa services and then, get the embed code to paste it on your post or site.

1. Flickr: It is Yahoo network service which provides free 1TB space to upload images and share them with the world. You can also set the image privacy, if you don't want to share them with anyone. It also provides HTML embed code with Flickr account link so that you no need to worry about the loading speed of your blog or site. It also provides embed code in different sizes of image so that you need to adjust later on.

use flickr to embed image on your blog
This is the example to get HTML code of images on Flickr account

2. Instagram: It has started the feature, last month only. Now, anyone can get video and images HTML embed code to embed on their websites or blogs. To know how you can extract the image or videos embed code, click below Cnet link to view the post.

3. Picasa: It does not allow you directly extract the URL of images that you have uploaded. But, you do so by creating a free blog on Blogger.com and then, upload images. After uploading images, Click on HTML icon of the post and extract the URL of image. Now, come to your WordPress website or blog, click on "Add Media" icon and enter the URL, the image will be added to your post.

These services lowers the burden to manage space, loading time of your site, and bandwidth. These technologies and web applications are for you and you have to decide how you can use them, so use them to make a better blog by enhancing user learning and reading experience.

Buzzer interface with 8051 microcontroller

Buzzer  is a electronic device that converts the electronic signal into buzzing noise, that is applied to it. It can be used as electronic bell or as quiz buzzer in many applications around us. Here, i world like to discuss the interfacing of a small buzzer with 8051 microcontroller and how different projects can be constructed. Buzzer Interfacing: This project shows the interface with AT89S52 microcontroller to a buzzer. When a push button is pressed, the buzzer will get ON and OFF ( number of times set in the code ) and then stops. Circuit Diagram: - The port P1 of the microcontroller is connected to buzzer. This type of connection is possible, if the current requirements of the buzzer is not more than 20mA. The output is in current source mode so that buzzer will turn ON when the output of the port is logic LOW. Switch is connected to port P3 which remains at logic HIGH by pull up resistor.  Code: #include "REG52.h" #define buz P1 sbit SW=P3^0; long i...

Comparison Chart Between 8051, 8052, 8031and 8751

8051 is a popular 8-bit microcontroller and has been used in many applications since Intel introduced it. Many 8051 architecture are produced by Triscend, Intel, Atmel, Philips, Infineon (Siemens), ISSI, and Max Corp. Today, 8051 microcontrollers may not be popular but, the 8051 architecture is still popular and employed in thousands of embedded applications. This 8-bit architecture has been different segments such as 8052, 8051, 8751 and 8031 . 8052 is the super-set of 8051 and 8031 is the memory-less microcontroller hence, it has interfaced with external ROM. Whereas, 8751 chip has only 4Kbytes of on chip UV-EPROM. Everyone knows about the general 40-pin microcontroller i.e. 8051 introduced by Intel in 1980s and consists of serial communication pins, Timer, Interrupts, RAM, ROM. It has 4 ports and each port has 8 pins, total 32 pins and other 8 pins for other purposes. 8052 is the super-set of 8051 that consists of 8K bytes of internal RAM (4K in 8051), 256 by...

Different ways to generate delays in 8051

The delay length in 8051 microcontroller depends on three factors: The crystal frequency the number of clock per machine the C compiler. The original 8051 used 1/12 of the crystal oscillator frequency as one machine cycle. In other words, each machine cycle is equal to 12 clocks period of the crystal frequency connected to X1-X2 pins of 8051. To speed up the 8051, many recent versions of the 8051 have reduced the number of clocks per machine cycle from 12 to four, or even one. The frequency for the timer is always 1/12th the frequency of the crystal attached to the 8051, regardless of the 8051 version. In other words, AT89C51, DS5000, and DS89C4x0 the duration of the time to execute an instruction varies, but they all use 1/12th of the crystal's oscillator frequency for the clock source. 8051 has two different ways to generate time delay using C programming, regardless of 8051 version. The first method is simply using Loop   program function in which Delay() funct...
