Blogger 放檔的好選擇 - Google Code

繼之前發現，Google Page Creator (Google Pages) 要倒店關門的消息，我就一直在找更好的地方，用來放我 Blog 會用到的各種小圖和外連檔案（不然每次登入 Google Pages，都要恐嚇我一次，我所有的資料都要被強制移到 Google Sites 了），試用了一陣，本來覺得即將取而代之的 Google Sites 也不錯用，正打算大舉遷移，把檔案和連結都搬過去之際，突然緊急煞車，發現 Google Sites 不能這樣用啊！目前它有兩個關鍵性的障礙：

1. 不准上傳 HTML 或 Javascript 之類的程式碼。對很多朋友來講，這可是嚴重的缺陷，因為有不少人習慣把外掛 Blogger 的模組，都寫成獨立的 js 檔，載入頁面時再用 include 的方式呼叫，改版時只要兼顧相容性，不用再動到網頁樣板的原始碼，維護也比較獨立和方便。原先的 Google Pages 並不阻擋，但到了 Google Sites 卻拒絕上傳（說是安全性考量），這一點就讓不少人打退堂鼓了。
2. 不支援 GIF。這一點我就非常非常不能接受了，Google Sites 是用來建立「個人網站」、來做協作的平台，有聽過提供這類服務但不支援 GIF 圖檔的嗎？！一開始我還沒發現，因為 GIF 圖檔是可以上傳的，一般靜態標準的 GIF 圖檔看起來都沒事，但嵌入網頁外連所有圖片時才發現，不正常的情況來了！首先是透明底圖 (Transparent GIF)，在 Firefox 沒事，但用 IE (IE6) 看卻不再透明了，就算你想換成透明底圖的 PNG 檔，舊版 IE 不支援、新版 IE 照樣不能透明！其次，動態圖片 (Animated GIF) 照樣沒作用，這次連用 Firefox 也沒效果，Google 找了半天，得到的竟然官網的回答：「Google 協作平台目前不支援動畫 GIF。如果要使用動畫 GIF，則需要將它裝載在協作平台外部，並使用它的裝載網址進行連結。」看到這句，檔案還要放在「外部」，我真的無言了～（據說還是安全性考量.. XD）

以 前還一度以為是外連檔案後面那個謎字串 ?attredirects=0 搞的鬼，因為之前測試加了該字串好像會正常，但其實是因為當下我有登入 Google Sites 的關係。至此，我想我是完全放棄用 Google Sites 來取代 Google Pages 了（這狀況已經一段時間，我也上 Google Groups 去反應，看來還是沒進度）！在尋找其他解的過程中，看到了有人推薦使用 Google Code、 一項 Google 提供給使用者用來公佈及開放程式碼的平台，為了讓用戶能自由下載、修改和分享程式和專案的原始碼，該服務平台也有提供 File Hosting 的機制，讓專案主人能放置檔案公開分享和連結使用。當然，這些公開的原始碼檔案也提供像是版本控制、描述分類等專案控管的機制，還有 Wiki 和 Issues 讓管理者和使用者能控制和掌握專案的進度和變動（還支援 Google Analytics 來監看存取流量），算是一個相當簡單、又配備大部分該有功能的程式碼控管平台。
對我來說，現階段最重要的當然是小圖檔的 Image Hosting，還有少部份幾個外連用的小檔案。既然是該服務是分享「Code」，未來我也考慮把自己的樣板原始碼公佈出來，甚至將有在用的 Blogger Hack 抽離成一隻隻的 js 檔，這樣用 Google Code 來放置檔案，也才更理所當然，是吧？仔細看看 Google Code 的限制：一個專案空間限制單檔最大 100MB、總容量 2GB、不限網路流量、使用 *.googlecode.com 格式二級域名（但不支援自訂網域）、一個帳號最多可以開十個專案，哇！拿來做我 Blog 的 File Hosting 絕對是綽綽有餘啊！實際試了一下圖片外連，不管什麼格式，顯示下載都很快很正常，測試幾天後，沒想太多我就把檔案統統都搬過去啦！透過之前介 紹過的技巧，我大概只改了三行原始碼，就讓所有的 Blog 小圖檔統統轉向到 Google Code 去，果真是 Blogger 放檔的好選擇啊！如果不介意，還可以公佈自己的 Blog 樣板（透過版本控制當備份）和用到的所有 js 檔（不要再盜連了），這樣也符合 Blog 原始碼開放的需要，速度和反應都很不錯，除了擔心對岸會「牆」掉 Google 服務的疑慮（沒差，反正我的 Blog 也是在 Google 的 Blogger 上），不用擔心它會倒掉或關閉（現下用的人很多），看來可以好好頂一陣子了！
我想 Google Code 應該不用教學怎麼使用，只要有 Google 帳號、連到 Google Code 首頁 、選擇「專案託管」、在畫面中央直接選 Create a new project，填好 Project 名稱（這名稱會決定你的二級網域名）和相關資料，專案就開好啦！接著玩一玩專案設定，切到到 Downloads 的分頁，就可以上傳下載自己的檔案了。申請前有興趣可以參考我 Blog 都已經換用的專案：abinlink。推薦因應 Google Pages 倒閉、Google Sites 又不濟事，和我一樣需要空間來放置小檔案的人來參考～(希望不要被拿來愛亂分享大檔的人搞爛就行了～）

如何在 Google Drive 建立 HTML 網頁？

Google Drive免費提供一個網頁空間(自行跟教學做) 最重要佢係無限流量 有時要放D PTP CODE 既網頁
雖然無數據庫,但我覺得好實用,放 D HTML網頁+CPM廣告,都唔錯

網址:
https://drive.google.com/‎

如何在 Google Drive 建立 HTML 網頁？

先在要放入 HTML 網頁檔案的資料夾開啟共用。

共用時變更一下檢視權限。

選擇「公開在網路上」。

然後記下上方的共用連結後，按下完成。

上傳你要放置的網頁檔案上去，主頁記得要用 index.html。

然後看一下剛剛取得的共用連結，比如我剛剛的是

https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B75wDHn7xvXieU4zUDZpNzJUU0E/edit

請去頭去尾，留下那串「0B75wDHn7xvXieU4zUDZpNzJUU0E」，然後改成這樣

https://googledrive.com/host/0B75wDHn7xvXieU4zUDZpNzJUU0E/

應該看的懂，只要在那串前面加上「https://googledrive.com/host/」即可，再貼到瀏覽器就可以瀏覽囉，上面那串也是 Demo 網址，大家可以看看，如果嫌網址太長可以配合短網址使用。

How To Merge Google+ Business Page With Google+ Local

 

Late on Friday, Jade from Google announced in the Google Places Help forums that you can now merge your Google+ Business page with your Google+ Local page to have the Google+ Local information with all the social features of Google+ on the same page.
You can combine the best of Google+ Local with Google+ Business Pages on the same page. Jade shares one local shop that did this already named the The Meatball Shop where you can see the Google+ posts and local data all on the same profile.
How do you do this? Google explains:

Click on Verify now on the right side of the page. You'll need to verify that you're representing your business by having a postcard sent, even if you're a verified business owner on Google Places for Business. Also note that verification will only work for pages created in the "Local Business or Place" category in Google+.

Google posted instructions on how to do this:
After you've created your page, you can verify it:

• Hover over Unverified at the top of your Google+ page. Click the Verify now button when it appears. Or, click Verify now in the Is this your business? section below the map.
• Confirm your address and click Request postcard again. Your postcard should arrive within a week or so.
• Once it’s arrived, go to the website listed on the postcard, www.google.com/local/verify.
• If you've requested a postcard for multiple Google+ pages, make sure to click on the name of the business that the postcard is for.
• Enter the PIN listed on the postcard and click Submit.

Michael Blumenthal has a detailed step by step walk through with screen shots on how this works on a specific example.
Here is a FAQ on this from Jade from Google:

Can a local Google+ page that I make in Google+ have multiple administrators? (ie, Can multiple Google+ profiles manage my page?)
Yes! There are two types of administrators -- owners, and managers. Read more about each role’s capabilities here.Can I have one social local Google+ page that links to my many locations?
No, at this time, we only support one social local Google+ page linking with one location.
What if I made my social Google+ page in a category other than “local business/place?”
Currently we only support verification of pages made in the local business/place category. You may make a new page in that category to access verification, but we cannot automatically move content or followers. There is currently not a way to change the category of a +page.
What about if I’m a service area business with hidden address?
The new verification process does not currently support service area businesses with hidden addresses.
What if I’ve just got a local Google+ page with reviews (in Google+ Local) but don’t have a social +page?
You may create a +page in the “local business/place” category to have access to verification, if you would like. We hope to offer the upgraded experience to all local businesses, soon, but currently, verification of the social +page is the only way to get the combined/upgraded pages.

How to Insert a PowerPoint to Google Page

Google Page Creator is a simple yet nice tool for you to create your favorite content and publish it to web. But for your PowerPoint presentations, the usually practice may be putting a link to a Google page for download. If you can convert a PowerPoint presentation to flash, visitors can view it directly in the page without the need of downloading and installing PowerPoint or PowerPoint Viewer. 

Steps

1. Convert PowerPoint to flash, you have three options 
   • Option 1: Convert PowerPoint to flash manually
     If you have some programming experience, you can do the conversion manually.
   • Option 2: Convert PowerPoint to flash with a converter
     If you have a simple PPT file and do not care about the animations, transitions, audio and other, you can use a free converter Powerbullet Presenter.
     It is a small, simple and free program for creating presentations in the Flash format.
   • Option 3: Convert PowerPoint to flash with a with a commercial converter
     For a complicated PPT file, you always should use a commercial converter like PPT2Flash Standard
2. Upload the converted flash to web
   When conversion is done, you have to upload the converted flash presentation to web. To upload it to web, you have two options.
   
   • Use free upload services to upload the flash file.
   • Upload the flash file to Google page
     
     

     Insert a PowerPoint to Google Page
     Google page enagbles you to upload a flash movie from your local drive. With Google page, click Upload on the right pane to upload the flash file. When finish uploading, click its file name in the Uploaded Stuff and it will take you to a new window to play the flash. Copy the URL in that window.
3. Click Edit html to edit a Google page
   
   • 

     Insert a PowerPoint to Google Page
     Google page does not have a feature to enable you to insert the flash file directly. You have to use some html coding to insert a flash to a page. If you want to insert the flash into a google page, click "edit html" on the bottom- right to insert the flash by using html coding.
4. Insert the flash to Google page with the following html coding
   <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"data=" URL of the uploaded flash file " height="300" width="400" align="middle">
   <param name="movie" value="URL of the uploaded flash file "/>
   <param name="allownetworking" value="internal" />
   <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
   <param name="enableJSURL" value="false" />
   <param name="enableHREF" value="false" />
   <param name="saveEmbedTags"value="true" />
   </object>
   Note:" URL of the uploaded flash file" included in the coding should be the URL of the uploaded flash to web with the uploading services.

   Publish Google page

Google Page Creator

Google Page Creator was a Web-based tool for creating personal Web pages. It was fairly easy to use, and the users seemed to like it. However, after Google purchased the wiki tool JotSpot, they were faced with two similar applications and a growing need to focus on profitability and Internet security.
JotSpot became the more business-minded Google Sites and was included in Google Apps. That made Google Page Creator the more obvious choice for the axe. Google closed Page Creator for new accounts in August of 2008 and announced their plans to migrate existing accounts to Google Sites.

Google’s Page discloses voice damage

Google chief executive Larry Page disclosed on Tuesday that he has suffered nerve damage to both his vocal cords, causing his voice to become hoarser and quieter.
Writing on his personal page on the Google Plus social network, he also said he had been diagnosed with a thyroid condition called Hashimoto’s thyroiditis a decade ago, when he first underwent medical tests over the vocal cord problem.

The disclosure follows a period of leave that Mr Page took from Google in the middle of last year to deal with his voice problems. The company has repeatedly refused to provide further details on the issue, which left him with a severely weakened voice, on the grounds that it was a personal matter.
In his post, Mr Page said that he had first suffered from paralysis of his left vocal cord about 14 years ago, after a bad cold had left him with a hoarse voice. He described the issue as a nerve problem that causes the vocal cord not to move properly and said doctors had been unable to find a cause.
Tests at the time revealed the thyroid condition, he said, adding: “This is a fairly common benign inflammatory condition of the thyroid which causes me no problems.”
Mr Page said that, following another cold last summer, he had been diagnosed with nerve damage resulting in limited movement in his right vocal cord. He stepped back from speaking at public events for a period later in the year.
“Thankfully, after some initial recovery I’m fully able to do all I need to at home and at work, though my voice is softer than before,” Mr Page wrote. “And giving long monologues is more tedious for me and probably the audience.”

How to Set Up a Google+ Page for Your Business

Google+ has opened the doors for business and brand pages.
In this article I show you how to set up your Google+ page and provide examples.
If you haven’t already created a personal Google+ profile for yourself, you’ll need to do that first (you cannot simply sign up a business page from the main Google+ signup screen).
Check out the How to Get Started With Google+ for more on personal Google+ profiles.
If you do have a personal profile, here’s how to create a page for your business.
Visit Create a Page on Google+ to begin, and follow the steps below to get started with Google+ pages.

Pick a category

Pick a category for your Google+ page to fall under.

The first step in getting started creating your Google+ page is to choose from the following five main categories.
#1: Local Business or Place
Local Business or Place includes any local business—hotels, restaurants, places, stores or services. If you choose this category, you will be asked for the country in which your business is located and the primary phone number.
If Google finds a matching result in Google Places with your phone number, it will use this information for your Google+ profile. If not, you can add your business info to Google and continue.

Add your local business information to Google+.

#2: Product or Brand
Examples given by Google+ of pages that would fit under Product or Brand include apparel, cars, electronics and financial services.

Add your Product or Brand info and choose the most applicable category.

Here, you would enter your page name and website, and choose an applicable category which includes anything from Aerospace and Defense to a Website, or you can simply choose Brand, Other, Product or Service.
#3: Company, Institution or Organization
The next category, Company, Institution or Organization includes pages for companies, institutions, organizations and non-profits or similar entities. Here you also enter your page name and website, and choose an applicable category with the same options as a Product or Brand page, or you can simply choose Company, Institution, Organization or Other.
#4: Arts, Entertainment or Sports
Pages for movies, TV, music, books, sports and shows are considered a good fit for the Arts, Entertainment or Sports section. Again, you will enter your page name and website, and choose an applicable category—this time with options ranging from Album to Website, or you can simply choose Entertainment, Other or Sports.
#5: Other
If you don’t feel your page fits in any of the above-mentioned categories, you can simply select Other, where you can enter your page name and website without any additional narrowing of category selection.
For pages in any category, you must also choose whether your page’s content is suitable for any Google+ user, users 18 or older, users 21 or older or specifically note that the content will be alcohol-related. Then you will tick boxes to opt-in to updates for Google+ pages and agree to terms and conditions to continue.

Determine the appropriate age group for your page to be visible to based on content.

Be sure to actually check out the Google+ Additional Terms of Service to see their notes on Authority, Access, Content, Data, Contests and Suspension & Termination.

Customize Your Page’s Public Profile

Once you’ve selected your page’s category, you can start customizing your page’s public profile.
#1: Add Your Profile Photo and Tagline
First, you will be asked to add your tagline (the 10 words that best describe your page) and your page’s profile photo.

Add your Google+ page’s tagline and profile photo.

After you have added these items and clicked on Continue, you will be asked to spread the word about your new page through your personal Google+ profile. If you’re not ready yet (which you probably aren’t, since you haven’t completed your profile), click on Finish to be taken to your new page.
#2: Editing Your Page Information
Once you’ve perused your page’s welcome screen, you will want to edit your page’s information. Go to your page’s profile by clicking on the Profile icon at the top, left of the Search Google+ box. Then go to your About tab and Edit Profile.

Edit information for your profile’s About section.

Here you will be able to click on everything from your page name to your links to enter relevant information about your page within Introduction, Hours (for local businesses or places), Website and Contact Info (phone, email, Skype, etc.). Also be sure to enter additional links to your page in the Introduction section using the Link button and under Recommended Links to link to your other social profiles, blog, blog posts and so on. Keep in mind important keywords for your business – if you are a digital marketing agency, be sure to include digital marketing in your profile.
#3: Adding Your Photostrip
Last but not least when it comes to your Google+ page design is filling in your photostrip. These five photos will be displayed underneath your page’s name and tagline.

Add photos that best represent your page in your photostrip beneath your page name and tagline.

It’s similar to the five photos you can have on your Facebook page. While editing your profile, click on the photo area where it says “add photos here” and upload a photo in each of the five photo spots. You can use different photos that represent your business or creatively cut one photo into five pieces and spread it across the area.
Congratulations! Your Google+ Page Is Ready.
Once your profile is ready, you can start posting to your profile by adding status updates, links, photos and videos just like you do on your personal Google+ profile. I would suggest writing a post or two before you use the “Spread the word” option in your right sidebar to announce your page to your personal profile connections.

Following and Engaging With Your Fans

So what’s the difference between a Google+ page and a Facebook page? The big one I’ve noticed so far is the fact that you can follow your page’s fans back and add them to Circles.
To find out who has added your page to their Circle, you can check your Notifications under Stream in the left sidebar. You can also look under your Circles > People who’ve added you area by clicking on the Circles icon.

Follow your Google+ page’s fans by moving them into Circles.

In this screen, you can drag your fans into one or more of the four default circles.

• Team Members—The people you will share the inside scoop with. This could be a great way to share company news with only the people you want to see it.
• VIPs—Your most loyal customers and closest partners.
• Customers—All the people or organizations you want to build deeper relationships with. You could possibly use this Circle to send out special discounts and promotions!
• Following—People you don’t know personally but whose posts you find interesting.

Just as you can with your personal profile, you can also create new Circles.
There are a lot of ways you can successfully use your custom Circles for marketing and messaging, such as creating Circles of fans in a specific location and sharing updates with them about geo-specific offers.
Universities can create Circles for professors, alumni, undergraduate, graduate and prospective students and then share updates with them about news related to their current status with the university. The possibilities are endless.
This also means you can follow your fans’ updates, comment on your fans’ status messages, and +1 their updates as your page. The functionality for a Facebook fan page to interact with a personal profile on Facebook isn’t there, but it is in Google+. Your fans will even see your interaction with their updates in their notifications!

Google+ users will see your page’s interactions with their profiles in their notifications.

This, in my opinion, is going to be a very powerful way for businesses or brands to communicate with their audiences.
For example, if there is a complaint, the Google+ page can reply publicly on their page, and then privately to the Google+ user by sending a status update directly to them. With Facebook pages, the page can only reply on the wall update but not directly communicate with the Facebook user.

Connecting Your Google+ Page to Your Website

You can connect your website to your Google+ page using the Google+ badge configuration tool. Currently only the icons are available, but official badges are coming soon.

Connecting your Google+ page to your website.

Regardless of whether you want to add a badge to your website, you will want to connect your Google+ page to your website simply for the search benefits.
Google+ Direct Connect will allow visitors to find your Google+ page and add it to their Circles, directly from Google search results. To do this, simply add the following code between the <head> </head> tags on your website.
<link href="{plusPageUrl}" rel="publisher" />
Replace {plusPageUrl} with your Google+ page URL. Then visitors will be able to add your Google+ page to Circles simply through their search results.

7 Google+ Page Examples

If you’re in need of some creative inspiration, here are a few established Google+ pages for social media enthusiasts.
#1: Social Media Examiner

Social Media Examiner’s page gains instant popularity on Google+.

A list of great Google+ pages would be incomplete without Social Media Examiner!
#2: Social Media Explorer

Social Media Explorer’s Google+ page uses photostrip images to convey education.

Social Media Explorer‘s page marries its tagline of education and information perfectly with its photostrip images.
#3: Mashable

Mashable was one of the first brands to put its presence on Google+.

Mashable appeared, then shortly disappeared in the early days of Google+, but has once again emerged.
#4: Search Engine Land

Search Engine Land breaks the latest news about Google+.

Although its focus may be search marketing, Search Engine Land also offers extensive social media coverage, especially when Google+ is concerned.
#5: HootSuite

HootSuite uses its Google+ photostrip to represent a worldwide user base.

HootSuite displays its diversity through a variety of expressive icons in the photostrip.
#6: Google+

Google+ positions its page as an authority for its own network.

Another page that is a must-have for any list of Google+ pages is that of Google+ itself.
#7: Twitter

Twitter is just starting up its presence on Google+.

Although it isn’t active yet, Twitter is on the ball by creating a brand page on Google+.

Google’s Page Describes Speech Malady, Funds Research

Google Inc. (GOOG) Chief Executive Officer Larry Page disclosed a health condition that can result in hoarse speech and labored breathing, though according to doctors won’t impede him from running the Web-search provider.
Page wrote in a blog post yesterday that he’s been diagnosed with left vocal cord paralysis, a condition that restricts vocal-cord movement, and is also experiencing impairment on the right side.

May 14 (Bloomberg) -- For the first time in almost a year, Google CEO Larry Page is publicly addressing a question about his personal health: why he lost his voice and continues to sound hoarse when he speaks. Jon Erlichman reports on Bloomberg Television's "Bloomberg West." (Source: Bloomberg)

The malady can make it hard for the Google co-founder to exercise at peak capacity and limit his participation in some company events, such as quarterly conference calls. He also said that his condition has improved and that he’s able to do all that’s required of him at work and home.
“Usually people with vocal-cord paralysis can find a way to accommodate the vocal injury and still do what they need to do,” said Brian Eldon Petty, a speech-language pathologist at Emory Voice Center in Atlanta.
Google climbed 3.3 percent to close $915.89 in New York, a record high. The stock has advanced 29 percent this year, compared with a 16 percent gain for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.
Page, who also disclosed that he has a thyroid disorder that may play a role in his condition, said he detected impairment in his other vocal cord about a year ago.

‘Fully Able’

“After some initial recovery, I’m fully able to do all I need to do at home and at work, though my voice is softer than before,” he wrote in the post.
The revelations come almost a year after Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt told investors that Page would miss several company events, including annual meetings for shareholders and developers, because of his voice condition.
“Now that we’re fully aware of what has gone on here and how it’s affected Larry Page, I can’t imagine it having that much of an impact on his ability to successfully run the company,” said Scott Kessler, an analyst at S&P Capital IQ. “He’s provided more than sufficient information and transparency about these circumstances.”
Cancer, which can in rare instances develop in patients with Page’s type of thyroid disorder, has been ruled out as a cause for Page’s vocal condition, according to people at Google familiar with his treatment over the past year, who asked not to be named because the details aren’t public.

‘Very Lucky’

Page said that his ability to exercise strenuously has been “somewhat reduced” because vocal-cord nerve damage can affect breathing. He uses a microphone even for small staff meetings, people familiar with his condition have said.
“My friends still think I have way more stamina than them when we go kite surfing,” he said. “And Sergey says I’m probably a better CEO because I choose my words more carefully. So surprisingly, overall I am feeling very lucky.”
Sergey Brin co-founded Mountain View, California-based Google with Page in 1998.
A patient with vocal-cord paralysis might need regular speech therapy, “particularly in a corporate arena where they have a lot of communicative involvement on an average day,” Petty said, speaking in general terms about the condition.
Beyond that, a surgeon might inject a substance such as Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp.’s Restylane -- an injectable gel that stimulates collagen production -- into the vocal cords to improve speaking ability or perform an operation to reposition the vocal cord, Petty said.

Hashimoto’s Disease

Doctors still don’t know the exact reason for the lasting damage to his voice, Page said. He also has Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune disorder that causes chronic inflammation in the thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck below the voice box that produces hormones involved in many bodily functions, from breathing to metabolism.
“It is possible that has something to do with it, or that it is just virus related, or some other unknown cause,” Page said.
Hashimoto’s, which typically affects middle-aged women, can be treated with hormone-replacement pills such as Abbott Laboratories (ABT)’ Synthroid. Very rarely, thyroid cancer may develop, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
Vocal-cord paralysis occurs when one or both of the elastic bands of muscle tissue in the voice box fail to open or close properly. Normally functioning vocal folds open when people breathe, close when they swallow, and vibrate to enable speech.

Breathing, Swallowing

The condition can be caused by an injury to the head, neck or chest, by lung or thyroid cancer, or by a viral infection. It can alter the sound of a person’s voice, causing hoarseness, and also lead to difficulties breathing and swallowing.
Paralysis of both vocal cords is rare, according to the NIH. It is also more dangerous, according to Priya Krishna, incoming director of the Voice and Swallow Center at Loma Linda University Medical Center in California, who spoke in general terms without referring to any specific patient.
“The danger there is the person’s airway is compromised,” Krishna said. “It’s definitely going to interfere with your energy level. You’re working harder to breathe, so you’re expending your energy you use to walk or talk to breathe.”
When both vocal cords are paralyzed and positioned closely together, a surgeon might perform a procedure known as a tracheotomy, making an incision in the front of the neck and inserting a breathing tube to restore air flow.

Treatment Options

“If they are close together, the person will have trouble breathing, and if they are really far apart, the person will have trouble speaking,” said Michael Benninger, chairman of the Head and Neck Institute at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. “You either have no voice or no airway.”
The risk of developing paralyzed vocal cords from two different viruses is exceedingly rare, Benninger said. While paralysis of a single vocal cord may stem from an infection and often clears up, bilateral damage is most often the result of surgery or cancer, he said. The cause is unknown in about 10 percent of cases.
Hashimoto’s disease can also damage the vocal folds, Benninger said. Steroids are sometimes used to reduce inflammation caused by the disease, he said.
Treatment options for vocal-cord paralysis may be tailored to the lifestyle requirements of an individual patient. Entertainers or public figures may prioritize protecting their voice, while athletes might opt for alternatives that preserve aerobic stamina, Benninger said.

Page’s Donation

“Ultimately, it’s the patient’s decision,” Benninger said. “Broadcasters and singers can’t tolerate a breathy voice, while truck drivers may not care if they are a little raspy or hoarse.”
Page is making a donation to fund a “significant research program” into vocal cord nerve function at the Voice Health Institute, which will be led by Steven Zeitels, chief of the Center for Laryngeal Surgery and Voice Rehabilitation at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. The donation will be in excess of $20 million, a person familiar with the matter said.
Zeitels has performed vocal-cord surgery on high-profile patients including Grammy-winning pop singer Adele. Zeitels said in a statement that his research team will use Page’s donation to help develop new voice-restoration surgical procedures. He declined to be interviewed about Page’s medical condition.

Page, speaking Wednesday at the Google I/O developers conference, said that societal laws and regulations aren't changing enough to keep up with advancements in technology, and there aren't mechanisms that allow for experimentation. Because of that, he would like a small part of the world outside of normal society where people can experiment and try new things.

"There are many, many exciting and important things we can do but we can't do because they're illegal or not allowed by regulations," Page said. "As technologists we should have safe places where we can try out new things and figure out the effect on society and people without having to deploy into the normal world. People who like those kind of things can go there and experiment." Burning Man is an "annual art event and temporary community based on radical self expression and self-reliance" in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. Page and other Google executives have been regular Burning Man attendees for years, and the first Google Doodle in 1998 was the Burning Man logo to signal that Page and co-founder Sergey Brin were out in the desert.
Google is hosting its annual developer conference, Google I/O, this week in San Francisco. The online giant has been expected to announce a host of new products and provide more details about other recently announced technology such as Google Glass. Software also has been expected to play a big role, with Google introducing new features for Android and Chrome.
Page on Wednesday made a statement to close Google's keynote event and then took questions from the audience about topics such as the future of the Web, capabilities Google Fiber can enable, and where Google sees sensors going. He also criticized fellow tech companies, such as Microsoft and Oracle, for focusing too much on negativity instead of advancing technology.

Google Page註冊終止

大家應該都聽過Google Page Creator這項服務
雖然這項服務主要是讓你產生"網頁"，但也有上傳檔案功能
我平常的音樂檔都是上傳到這個網頁空間
但是因為Google Sites發展趨近成熟
這個Google Page Creator的服務也即將告一段落了

消息網頁

雖然如此，但是大家也不用太過緊張
Google目前只有不讓新會員註冊而已
存在在Google Page上的檔案或網頁都還會繼續保留
且之後仍可繼續使用Google Page的服務
Google的用意當然是希望大家使用新服務Google Sites啦

Google Sites服務網頁



先說一下我對Google Page Creator的認識
這個服務有精靈可以輕鬆讓你產生網頁
但由於主打網頁非網站，因此沒有批次上傳，其他功能也少
不過他有功能是可以上傳自己的檔案上去(類似以前PC Home網路空間)
且每人有100MB的大容量空間
雖然限制頗多，例如單檔限制10MB以內
一分鐘沒下載完會強制斷線(但可續傳)
而且還有流量限制，要是同一時間流量太多會關閉頁面一陣子
但無論如何，這的確可取代PC Home或Yahoo網頁空間
再加上他不會像免空只要沒人下載就隨意砍檔
所以Google Page是我近幾年來存放資料的主力
(奇怪的是，好像聽過這項服務的人不多?)


▲有寫到我的姓名地方我已經馬賽克掉了

至於這個Google Sites，是Google買下JotSpot後的服務
主要是產生共筆網站而非網頁
也就是像Wikipedia那樣可以有共同作者一起編修資料等等
跟Google Page Creator的差別在於
每一個domain竟然有10GB的空間！
足足比Google Page大了100倍！
更厲害的是他也像Google Page一樣可以上傳任意格式的檔案喔

上傳的方法一樣簡單
點擊下方的Attachments展開頁面
然後按下瀏覽選取檔案便開始上傳了
最後把複製的連結後面的"?attredirects=0"給拿掉即可

總之，這是個能夠取代Google Page的強大服務
沒有用過的人，可以試試看喔

補充 2008/9/11
好吧...我錯了...Google Sites沒辦法取代Google Page

1.檔案頁面有權限，只能給自己觀看
但這個好解決，登入後在右上角點選Site settings
然後將左下角的Anyone in the world may view this site打勾
這樣就可以把該頁連結給人了
為什麼我都沒有發現?因為我平常都是登入狀態
所以根本不會有權限不足的問題



2.麻煩的是Google Sites沒辦法直接連結音樂檔
因為他裡面的下載點都是要轉址的網頁
如果直接連結播放器會連到網頁
但是因為播放器沒有像網頁轉址的效果
所以會變成直接在讀html，當然會產生錯誤
解決法...沒有，所以我只好把原音樂放回Google Page了...

這是噬魂師的OP，現在將存放網頁改回Google Page了...>"<
