Bayme of the VideoHelp.com forums seems to have found a way to tweak the URL of some videos to force YouTube to serve you the version with the highest resolution. The good news? It's easy as pie. The bad news? It's not going to work on all your videos, and it's not noticeably better To give it a spin, just drop &fmt=6 at the end of the URL of any video you're watching. If YouTube has a higher quality version available on its servers, it'll start playing right away. Otherwise, you'll simply be staring at a loading symbol.

India celebrates sixty years of Independence from colonial rule today; Pakistan marked the anniversary of its independence yesterday. London’s The Times offers a plethora of related articles and multimedia features to commemorate the occasion. The “worst terror attack” since the fall of Saddam Hussein killed over 250 in northern Iraq today. The U.S. blames Al Qaeda and calls the attacks, which seemed to target the Yazidis, tantamount to ethnic cleansing.

(This is a sub-post from Tutorial 11: Starting Your Own Blogger Template)This is the crucial part of designing - setting how your blog looks like. By this time the widths of all the containers inside the CSS code should have been set. What you need to know about tweaking the CSS code is that it's a recursive process - it's a process of refining that always repeats back and forth until you're 'happy' with the end result.There are so many things to tweak and so many containers to customize. So how do you this and where do you start? The easiest approach is to start from the top. Assuming that you're starting from an existing template, at this point you don't have to worry much about customizing the body, outer-wrapper, and content-wrapper. You can tweak these containers later. If you want to use an image as a background image of the whole template, you can also do this later.Read Tutorial 3: The Structure of CSS Styling Section first if you're not familiar with the basics of the
