Steps on How You Can Salvage your Photos on Friendster

As I did a post on How to Avoid Distraction from Facebook on my other blog, I remembered my Friendster Account! I bet your heard/read that Friendster is either closing or upgrading. Neither of the two, I bet what matters to you most about this rumors are your pictures! So here's a tutorial on how you can salvage them:

1. Log in to your Friendster Account.

2. At the upper right corner of your profile, look for the tab Fun, scroll it down then click Apps.

3. Look for the Friendster Exporter Widget and click Add to Profile. Friendster Exporter Apps will let you download and export your full profile, photos and blogs making it easy to move and save all your precious Friendster memories.

4. If you want to download your full Friendster Profile to your computer, you can download it as a zip file. You can view your profile data by opening 'index.html' once the file is downloaded. This includes the following: basic info (name, date of birth, gender, and 'About Me' info), photos, list of your friends or fans (for Fan Profiles), list of pages that you are 'a fan of', comments and testimonials, messages in your Inbox, shoutout history and comments to your shout outs,virtual gifts, treasure chest and list of groups you are a member of. There are two options:

a. Faster Download (Recommended) - Photos not included but you can still export them using the photo exporter

b. Slower Download - Photos included

5. You can also export all your photos directly to other online photo hosting/sharing sites. Here's how:

a. Select which site you’d want to export your photos to (Multiply or Flickr)

b. Select the photo album/s you’d want to export - All albums, whether public or private, can be exported.

c. Authorize the export - You’ll be asked to login to the site that you chose, so make sure that you’re ready for this.

6. If you have blogs on Friendster, you can download a zipped .xml copy of your blogs which you can export directly to other popular blog sites such as Blogger and Wordpress.

My photos are now saved on my Multiply account as well as those photos that I exported from hubby and our two children's Friendster Account. I didn't bothered to save our profile because what's important to me are those pictures. Now it also means I would have to visit any nearest CD-R King one of these days because they cater blank media such as CDs and DVDs at affordable prices and high quality too and I am sure I'll be needing a lot of those.

Mouse Stuff

USB Mouse, Photo Paper and Blank CD's

My old USB mouse finally gave up on me yesterday. Actually I blamed my hubby when he told me that our mouse was no longer functioning. Why? Because every time he plays poker games on Facebook, I will hear him tapping that mouse hard whenever he wins or when he gets excited in playing. But of course, it's not the only reason why it crashed down totally. I've been using it for a year and so maybe it's really time to buy a new one.

When it comes to my lappy's accessories and other media solution needs, my first option is CD-R King. There are lots of items here that are cheaper than branded ones. Though the quality is not that superb it will last for quite some time anyway so it's not that bad at all. 

I dropped by at their store branch in Big-R Cainta (there were less people in here than with their other branch) and bought a new USB Mouse for just Php150. I remember I have some pictures to print too so I bought 4R size photo paper as well for just Php50 (50 sheets). And of course, since I load lots of stuff in my lappy and I haven't got my  extra-hard disk until now, I also bought blank CD's. I plan to back up my files later this week just in case something weird happen. Good thing my CD writer is still on the perfect condition as the first time I had this laptop. It still perform fast whenever I do my CD/DVD duplication at home. 

Right now I am using this new mouse and have some photos already printed too while my blank CD's will be used tomorrow! Night everyone!
