"Hot'n'cold" Ukrainian Style

As soon as I saw it, I just had to "steal" this from Ovidiu's blog. Feast your years on this brilliant remake of Katy Perry's "Hot'n'Cold"...

Ciucas > Muntele Rosu > Japp

Dupa o noua iesire in Ciucas si o alta sedere la Cabana Muntele Rosu, a iesit genericul de mai jos. Sper sa nu se supere nimeni...

Cateva precizari care merita retinute:

• daca plecati spre fosta Cabana Ciucas si nu e poteca prin zapada, va ia aproximativ o ora jumate pana la Fantana lui Ioan;
• meniul de la Muntele Rosu are traduceri in engleza sub fiecare fel, si ies in evidenta urmatorii termeni: suc de fructe - juice of fruits; cafea mica - little coffee (aproape ca ti se face mila de saracuta cafea);
• in camere nu e foarte cald asa ca merita sa luati saci de dormit la voi (pentru orice eventualitate);
• fata care ne-a fost gazda e prietenoasa si foarte de treaba, si la fel e si proprietarul, care s-a oferit sa ne ia cu masina din Cheia (noi am ales totusi sa urcam noaptea prin padure).

Una peste alta, totul e bine cand se termina cu bine. Mergeti la Muntele Rosu daca aveti ocazia si vizitati Muntii Ciucas.

Custom Meta and Title Tags for Blogger

A while ago I received a comment from CJ in which he was asking for a widget or gadget to automatically implement the "Meta Description Hack" for Blogger. I didn't notice the comment back then (awfully sorry for that), but recently, as I was looking over those comments I decided to take up that challenge. Below is a small javascript application you can use to generate custom meta descriptions, keywords and title tags for Blogspot blogs, as well as a video tutorial on how to use it.

Step 1

For how many pages would you like to create custom meta tags?
select a value 1 2 3 4 5

Step 2

Is your homepage among these pages?
yes, the first description and keyword tags should be for my blog's homepage
no, all meta tags are for other pages on my blog (usually post pages)

Step 3

Should the code include the hack for swapping page titles with article titles?
yes
no, I've already added that piece of code

Step 4

How should the title appear for a post page?
<post title> (Eg: Custom Meta Description)
<post title - blog title> (Eg: Custom Meta Description - AgaWebs)

Step 5

Fill in the following form with your keywords (separated by commas) and descriptions, and click out of the last field you write in to enable the Get the code > button:

Page 1

Page 2

Page 3

Page 4

Step 6

Copy the code below and paste it into your Blogger template as shown in the video above:

Apuseni > Muntii Bihorului > Zona Padis

Thanks to my younger sister I finally found a proper soundtrack for the images I filmed last year in September. Hope you enjoy the Padis experience:

The Padis area (Zona Padis) is located in Bihor's Mountains (Muntii Bihorului) and those, in turn, are part of the Romanian Apuseni Mountains (Muntii Apuseni). Here are some of the main attractions in this region, ordered as they appear in my video:

Pestera Focul Viu: there's a large opening in the roof of this cavern. In summer, on a sunny day, light shines through the opening and onto the glacier inside, creating an illusion of burning fire.

Pietrele Galbenei: large cliff face overlooking a vast valley.

Lumea Pierduta: "The Lost World" - several avens (vertical caves) are grouped in this area, the most spectacular one being Avenul Gemanata.

Cetatile Radesei & Cheile Somesului Cald: a network of tunnels and vertical shafts (avens) dug through the mountain by water.

Cetatile Ponorului: a formation similar to "Cetatile Radesei", but on a much larger scale. The portal seen in the video is its main entrance and it's 73m tall - about as high as a 20 story building.

Pestera Ghetarului de la Scarisoara: the cave which houses the largest glacier in Romania.

Merry Christmas!
