How to change Adobe Flash Player Security and Privacy Settings .

If you are busy with somethin, just scroll down to get to the technical point else spare a few seconds just to know why I shared this here.. !

Omegle has became a recent favorite time pass for my hostel mates and unfortunately for my friends (for me too) who were using Ubuntu Linux OS, Omegle was not working very fine. The problem was with a privacy security warning which appeared before they connected themselves to the stranger on the other side. Though my friends on this side was least cared about PRIVACY they were unable to click the Allow Button. The message was that

Camera and Microphone access

www.blahblah.com is requesting access to your camera and microphone. If you click allow you may be recorded.

Now there is a button to Allow but it is UN-CLICKABLE  :(

Immediately after facing the problem we googled a lot but were unable to find a solution.

Even now though we haven’t solved it, we are able to work fine with the Camera.

Now here I will explain how to access Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager to correct the problem of “Un-Clickable”.

For getting it well you have to change a few settings of Adobe Flash Player at the Settings Manager. Now you can’t actually access this settings manager from your computer but you have to goto SettingsManager

Now you can see various options like

On clicking on these various panel options, Settings Manager which appears to be a image is seen. It’s actually your Settings Manager and not just an image. You can change the settings here. In this particular case for fixing the issue with the camera, Click Website Privacy Settings Panel.

In the website list, scroll down to find omegle.com or the site which camera is not working fine for you. After selecting the website click on ‘ Always Allow ‘. Now you won’t be asked any privacy security question at that particular website, here Omegle. So you can have comfortable chat with Strangers now.

Now this same Adobe Settings Manager Can be used to increase the Volume of recording while using flash based Webcam applications. For increasing it goto Microphone Settings.

The procedure to change the adobe flash player settings is the same in all Mac Operating systems Lion and Snow leopard, Windows 7 and Windows XP and other linux based OSs like Ubuntu, Fedora just to name a few. This is because we are not having an offline serttings manager but an online Settings manager.

Monetizing your WordPress blog on mobile web using AdMob and Mippin

After one of my friend’s blog started creating considerable revenue through Google Adsense, he wanted to try his luck in Mobile Advertising. I had heard about Google Adsense for Mobile Content and also rumours that mobile ads were high paying compared to the usual web ads. So I thought why not help him. Browsing number of forums and posting my thread, none drew much response. I was actually searching for plugins for monetization with Google Adsense for Mobile Content. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any. But that was when I heard about AdMob which was yet another mobile advertising networks. Just like me for many, had a doubt if it was legit? Though I don’t have much experience with it personally,  I think it’s worth giving a try as Google has recently acquired AdMob for it’s expansion, with Adsense for Mobile Content. So it’s future is not going to be dull :)

The other advantage is that with mippin, you will have your webpages optimized for viewing in Mobile Browsers.

I will explain step by step about installing the plugin and Configuring with AdMob and Mippin.

1. Get your mobile version of the site registered at Mippin.

As the first step give your RSS feed URL/Website URL, Select the Layout and Customize it according to your likes.

Now for proceeding you will have to register at Mippin.com. Get it done.

2. Under the Publicize tab, give the URL  of your Mobile Webpage of your like. Give your tags. Also keep a note of the “code below”. Just Copy it into somewhere in your PC.

You will be needing the id in that code when configuring the plugin.

3. Now under the Monetize Tab, you will have to validate your website.

So copy “Mippin Feed Validation Key= XXXXXX” and publish as a post in your blog with the the copied statement as the title and content.

Then click Validate.

4. Now register for an account at AdMob. After confirming the account, login with your username and password at Admob. Click Add new Sites and App under the MARKETPLACE tab.

Now give your Mippin Site URL under the url coloumn.

Now you have to enter your admob id for getting it Click on “Here” and Click on the name of your website.

Now enter your Admob id at the coloumn at Mippin Webpage.

5.Things are almost done. Now get this Mippin plugin installed in your WordPress blog. After installation is complete go to the page of Mippin Plugin, there is a coloumn for entering Mippin id. Give the id found in the earlier code [Step2] found at the Mippin website.

6.Now just wait for a day for your ads to appear in Mippin website. Try accessing your website from the mobile.

You don’t need to manualy set the position of Mobile Ads in your website. Everything will be done by the plugin.
