enter image description here
Thats why I'm tring to get the same view. I tryed to add pictures when editing meeting, but they placed in body of block.
Thanks in forward!!!!!

Google Calendar events with certin key names (like Lunch, Coffee etc.) are created automatically with background illustration images.
This is different from images added as an attachment to the event.
Unfortunately, you cannot create your own illustration images - neither through programming nor through the Calendar UI.

Linkedin doesn't display article description after sharing by customized URL

I don't know if anyone else experienced the same problem, but I just don't know why article description is not visible on my feed page after sharing.
I used these recommendations for customized URL sharing:
https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/share-on-linkedin
i.e. my link looks like this:
https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http://developer.linkedin.com&title=LinkedIn%20Developer%20Network&summary=My%20favorite%20developer%20program&source=LinkedIn
If you follow this link, you'll see that the summary ("My favorite developer program") is visible in the preview. However, this summary is not visible in my feed after sharing.
The same happens if I use tag within page markup instead of specifying "summary" directly in URL
I'll be very grateful for your advice.
You can only choose one option:
Indicate an image with an og:image tag, and your image will display.
Don't indicate an image, and then your description will display.
Do you want both an image and a description to display? Currently just not possible. Maybe put the text of the description into the image? I have no idea, it would just be nice if they made their API work according to their own documentation.

Embedding soundcloud link on featured image post to launch mp3 player on

So I've been searching the web and I can't find a good answer on how to have a featured image with a play button, once I click the play button it launches a mp3 player built on wordpress site and where i can change Or add. Much like this site -> indieshuffle.com.
Does anyone know how to do that or at least give me some material to start with even a theme would be amazing
Although its a very simple task, if you dont have enough knowledge of programming then it will be hard to achieve. And not many people will help you on stackoverflow without any existing code to show them.
Here's how i would have achieved it. First i would attach the featured image to the post (the default functionality). Then i would create a custom field to save the soundcloud id of the song. Then in your theme you should wrap the featured image with a div and have a play button on hover. Then use javascript/jquery to look for click events (ie. what should it do when someone clicks on the image). Then i would use the Soundcloud API and use the play function to play the desired song. Here is a code i got from the API docs.
<script src="http://connect.soundcloud.com/sdk.js"></script>
<script>
SC.initialize({
client_id: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID'
});
// stream track id 293
SC.stream("/tracks/293", function(sound){
sound.play();
});
</script>
Just take it slow, start from the beginning and go through the points i mentioned, it would be much easier to help if you start somewhere and ask a specific question.
You might already be familiar with the embed code, but if you just want to show the song in your post you can use the embed code in your post. Something like this https://soundcloud.com/pages/embed. There are also some wordpress plugins for soundcloud that will automatically embed the code if you give it the id of the song.

Using the facebook popup design in my app

I am developing a Facebook App and I want use the exact design (style) that facebook has, to show a post - picture, link, status etc. So for example I show a link to a post on the wall that has a picture in it and when the user wants to see details about it, a popup shows all info (picture, likes, comments etc) exactly how Facebook shows it if you would click the picture in your wall. My question is: am I allowed to copy the exact design of the pop up, or is there a way I can do this by just calling a function with the parameter being the post id?
Thank you.
Yea - you can recreate their UI. Checkout this answer I gave a little while back - it might be useful to you.

The only issue with recreating their UI (IMO) is to start altering their brands.

SEO for CSS and JS hide/show

We're building a site for an academic institution. This institution offers many subjects, and we don't want to show all of them at once on the homepage. So we designed a homepage that shows the 2 main categories of studies, and clicking on a category will show a div with the list of subjects in that category.
Our client is worried SEO-wise about those div's being hidden on page-load. Is he correct in his concern?
It depends on how you hide them if you use a z-order or a far left off screen position they will still be read by the Google bot. if you use display none or hidden then it may have an effect on your SEO.
You're right to have concern. Google will count some of or significantly reduce content that isn't displayed on page load. I would recommend letting the text display at load, then setting it to display none via JavaScript. This way the search engine picks it up.
You can do so with a simple jQuery hide snippet like this:
<p class="remove">Text displayed on load.</p>
$j(document).ready(function(){
$('.remove').hide();
});
I read an article by Roger Johansson on this subject, and it seems that the conclusion is that as long as the intent isn't to show that content only to search engines, hiding is fine. I don't see any mention of preferring one method of hiding over the other.
In addition, in that post's comments there was a link to an answer by a Google worker that said:
Merely using display:none will not automatically trigger a penalty. The key is whether or not there is a mechanism - either automatic or one that is invoked by the user - to make the content visible
In my case of course there will be such a mechanism, because we want our users to see that content, just not at page-load...

Making sure googlebot is not spamming my mailbox

I have got a website running with an option to report abuse of functionality. This is being done by clicking a link. After the link is clicked the webmaster will get a report of the location where the content is that was reported as abuse. I have added an rel="NOFOLLOW" to the href of the particular links but this is not helping. It seems that this tag is only being used to check wheter a page has to be ranked or not. How can i Exclude googlebot from clicking those abuse links?
This is what a link looks like:
Click me
The way I would go is have the report abuse email be behind a POST form of some kind. For example, a drop down box to select the issue or a text box to write in some comment about the abuse. Another method would be to style the form submit button so that it looked like a link and use that in place of your current link if you didn't want to have another step.
I'd do this in two parts:
By default, I'd make the link take you to a page where you report the abuse via a (very short, friendly) form, one where if you don't want to, you don't even have to choose anything, just click the Report button. Clicking the Report button (or a cancel link) takes you back where you were.
I'd include JavaScript that would test if the user has modern browser features (DOM node creation and such) and, if so, change the action of the link so that when they click it, the form appears right there (in a small overlay box) rather than taking you to a separate page. That makes for a less-intrusive user experience. Either way, though, the end result is a form being submitted rather than simply a link being followed.
