Blogger: How to Add Merlin's Lemonade Stand to Your Blog

Merlin's Lemonade Stand = Followers Gadget.

I call it "Merlin's Lemonade Stand". 🤔 Because we don't follow a lemonade stand, it's a stand. We can, but usually we don't. And it belongs to Merlin. Double bafflements.

Like following a building? Oi, I follow this post office for days! It doesn't move.

For our information, I am operating with the literal, original, physical sense of follow. As in to go after something in motion.

Let's go metaphorical.

Steps

On blogger.com dashboard, we go to Layout menu.
Then, depends on your chosen template, we find and click the + Add a Gadget. Indeed, we would find it without searching it first.
Scroll down a bit on the pop-up menu to find Followers gadget ➡️ pick (click) that.
We can reposition the Followers gadget to suit our aesthetics and the gadget's visibility. ➡️ Hit Save.
[Optional] Then, we change the gadget title. Click the pencil icon on the gadget ➡️ clear the title ➡️ type "Merlin's Lemonade Stand".

The Followers gadget has Follow button. That button actually works. It works as a button. Which lets people add your blog to their Reading List in their Blogger dashboard, so they can see new posts when you publish them.

Once upon a time, the Followers iframe went blank. Well, it could happen, but not often — as in a glitch. When that happens, we should call it as Guess Gadget.

It's related to either: our internet connection (ISP with their DNS resolution hiccup) or... inconsistent wiggles of the magic wand.

Merlin once babbled a series of symbolic and political prophecies, most of which sound like horoscopes written during a mead binge. The paraphrase goes like this: The future is hidden from man. The original babble was, Oi, Uvver, blimey Uvver! (Beard tangled in scrolls, staff made from old fence posts.)

🧙‍♂️🍹 Thou art refreshed.
Merlin

Gorgos and Gorgeous

Let us start from my splendid reading time, I will then certainly explain it. The last, we will get into the words. I was reading Greek mythology related lores. There was Medusa . Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall. For a chance to be with you, I'd gladly risk it allrghh 🎵🎤 (D. Foster's jiving on keyboard.) Blimey, to the wall? 🤔 I mean this depiction. 🛡️ Shielded by 🐒 MonkeyRaptor — MonkeyRaptorGlanceSecure™ Medusa actually has two sisters. The other two were rarely depicted in movies and literatures. They are known as the Gorgon sisters . The Gorgon sisters: Stheno Immortal. ✅ Deformed and horrible by birth. A towering serpentine-giantess. Eldest of the Gorgons, highly aggressive and bloodthirsty. Special traits include superhuman strength, unmatched ferocity, survivor of countless battles. Battles which were mostly started by herself. 😂 Euryale Immortal. ✅ E...

The Boy Who Wanted More... PDF

I was looking around for folktales from around the world. And, a-ha! That Dutch folktale, "The Boy Who Wanted More Cheese" — Klaas. So then I searched that on mobile, and this autocomplete appeared... 🤣 Most unexpected... Hm, now then, what have we here? The village Volendam in the story most certainly has no internet, nor even a computer, as it is set in a time before the Integrated Circuit (IC) was invented. 🤔 😃 We shall proceed with modern Klaas then. 💡 A tale of a boy with three keyboards, two mice, and regrets. And pints. 📖 The Boy Who Wanted More... PDF Documents 💾 Once, in the village of Softwaren... ...there lived a boy named Klaas, who longed not for riches, nor cheese, nor even attention — but for a comprehensive digital archive. Day and night, he clicked Download Now buttons with reckless abandon, hoarding PDFs of forgotten manuals, pixelated folklore scans, and user agreements none dared read.

Chess: Offence Against Modern Defence: Hm Variation

I played white (offence) in 3 minutes Super Blitz on Lichess as Anonymous. Opening theory? Ignored. Material balance? Hm. In this game, as a drunk bard, my strategy was an alternating: Let's try this - Oh, well - Don't mind if I do! 🤦 It was hilarious at the end (22nd banter). 💥 I didn't realise I constructed a proper prison. Hm, alright, I did plot that. You can use your left and right arrows on your keyboard or use the mouse scroll to see the moves back and forth on the chessboard. But first, click the board. Hm. 🤔 Chess Training on Lichess Learn 🧐 There's LEARN menu on Lichess. You might want to navigate the sub-menus to find out more. From Chess basics to Coaches . Puzzles 🤔 I usually do puzzles on Lichess to sharpen my positioning — so many variations! It is not timed, thus it's great to fill our spare time. Three to six puzzles will be sufficient per day. Or per every time we visit Liches...

Google Apps Script Shares a Global Namespace: Use Unique Function Names

Hi. 🙂 I experienced this in my Google Apps Script project. I thought each .gs file was isolated, nope . It's like embedding multiple .js files in an HTML . All script files are loaded into the same global context, as if they're one continuous script. For example, we have many .js files (without using type="module" ) in the HTML . Each script has this similarly named function, init : First script. For instance, it is defined in <script src="./js/firstScript.js"></script> : function init() { console.log("Log from first script."); } Then in the other script. Defined in <script src="./js/secondScript.js"></script> : function init() { console.log("Log from second script."); } Then calling that init function somewhere from another script file. Let's say from <script src="./js/main.js"></script> : init(); Depe...

VS Code Thinks atob() Is Deprecated - How to Fix

Actually, both atob() and btoa() . This Is Specifically in VS Code Or VSCode . Because if I said "... on VS Code", that would sound like I was physically standing on top of VS Code, like a skateboard. 🛹 😂 🤔 At the moment, it is a bug 🪲, until it is not 🔧, in their IntelliSense for JavaScript. I noticed it since few years behind. Indeed it is harmless . But since last week, when I opened my certain Node.js project (monolithic — frontend and backend in one project), I kept on noticing the struck through function, therefore, here's how to fix it. For your information, the JavaScript (ECMAScript) here is actual browser (client — frontend) language, not server-side or backend (Node.js). But also in this post, we'll see implementation in Node.js. 🤔🙂 This is deprecation notice for atob() : This is deprecation notice for btoa() : Fix: Attach Window Object For atob() window.atob() For btoa() window.btoa() Fixed. 👍 History The methods at...

Health: Stomach Ulcer and Food Poisoning Quick Treatment

First of all, I'm not a medical doctor. I have an engineering degree in low power electrical field and I am a web developer. 😶 But I do have lots of experiences handling these: stomach ulcer and food poisoning ; for myself and for other people around me. And of course, I have friends, colleagues, and family which are medical professionals. Mostly medical doctors. Let me share some of quick treatments for stomach ulcer and food poisoning . Stomach Ulcer: The Habit Sometimes, or most of the time, as we get older, we do not take meal with constant periodical cycle like while we were children or teens. But as I've noticed nowadays, teens also have that habit . Our human body can adapt, if you notice, to that kind of punishment . At first, it was probably really hurt, and as the time went by, we no longer feel the pain. It has multiple meanings: Our nerves ( nociceptors ) finally ignore the pain signal because we consciously and constantly pre...

Alphabet

I was curious about our writing letter system, the Latin script. It consists of A through Z. The system has no Alpha or Beta. Alpha (α or A) and Beta (β or B) are within Greek script. And the most baffling is the writing direction, Abjad has it right, pun intended. They start from right to left, that is natural for any right-handed person to write like that, am I right? Or, in Logographic system (Kanji, Kana, Hanja — Chinese, Japanese, Korean) has it from top to bottom AND RIGHT TO LEFT (back in those days) — it's natural. Left to right feels awkward at time. I was a left-handed child, but then time made me a right-handed man. You know, tradition. After discussing this with ChatGPT, I now can safely and fully blame the timeline tinkerers who ruined what could have been an actually logical writing system. It goes something like this: Phoenician system (~1050 B.C.) The Original Gangster of many writing systems. It was the origin of Abjad, only consonants,...

Three Wishes

If a jinni (or genie) grants you three wishes, what would you wish? 🧞 I might guess something like generic infinite riches, maybe even world peace... Or perhaps exploiting the technicality (loophole). Like please grant me another x wishes , or better, another battalion of you , "you" being the jinni. How am I supposed to clone myself? , said the jinni. Unless the jinni stated the terms and conditions, we can surely find a cheeky way to get to the backdoor. And as for me, I might... ... ignore the jinni politely. 😂 As in, I thank thee for the generous offer, kind sir. Might I offer thee for a sugared roundel, nigh consumed, its orb defiled? 🤔 A half-eaten donut? First of all... It came from a metallic lamp. It is unwise to ask anything from vapour emanated from an antique. We could be passed out and delirious from the poisonous gas, and dreaming up whatever it shows us. The grants would act as "Continue to Faint, Thank You" ushe...
