Fixed: Blogger Dynamic Views Fails to Load Properly

Image
Update on 2017-09-19: Google has included our fix to the Dynamic Views theme so it is no longer necessary to manually patch it. However, if you want search engines to be able to index your website, we suggest not using Dynamic Views, as it does not offer any basic elements that are necessary for successfully indexing websites. We switched to Contempo theme and started a new project to fix its SEO issues. The fixed theme is applied to this blog. We are releasing all the new fixes, programs and instructions on our open and free discussion forum and web & seo design in exchange for costs -website. The original postJune 9, 2013 (updated on March 25, 2015)We fixed the problem with the dynamic views that Blogger failed to fix for over six months.

Review: Dell Vostro Laptop

Image
We got fed up with breaking keyboards and bought Dell Vostro 14 5459 laptop. After reading customer feedback, we decided not to mail order or rely on Dell support and customer service, but to buy the laptop from a reseller and test it before taking it with us. All was well at the shop, BIOS hardware tests were passed, Dell website confirmed the 2-year parts only warranty (POW), and factory installed Ubuntu GNU/Linux showed the correct processor, memory, and hard disk.

Installing Windows 7 on Dell Vostro 14 5000 Series Laptop

Image
Installing Windows 7 was not a piece of cake as Microsoft is pushing desperately Windows 10. Detailed installation instructions with driver download links follow this walk-through. The first challenge was getting USB to work. Windows 7 does not support USB 3, and Vostro has only USB 3 ports meaning that none of the USB ports are functional before the drivers are installed. We used Ubuntu live image and two USB pen drives to transfer the drivers. After USB started working, installing all the rest of the drivers was a trivial task… almost. Driver packages and updates provided by Dell kept crashing and messing up the system. Installations were interrupted with undocumented error messages, and finally the system got so messed up that we had to re-install Windows 7. On the next round, we stripped the drivers out from Dell update packages. This way, and by gathering drivers from original component manufacturers, we managed to get everything installed.
