Hello and welcome !
I missed blogging and specially designing which I stopped doing from last summer because of the problems I had, God bless us. However, I’ve made some decisions,of course with God’s will, that I’ll blog much more and make more educational videos and I started doing those things this week because I’m in vacation and it’s better to do good things in it than staying and sleeping all day 
.
I redesigned my website keeping the main structure and just changing the colors and the header 
. I also played a bit with the theme’s CSS for future changes,maybe.
This might be weird, but changing the theme, opening Photoshop again since more than 9 months to really design and not just to edit some pictures is the best feeling I’ve ever had !!!
So, I designed a new header, new picture, new background for my PC and the one which is in the top of this article and I’m so proud of the results. Just to let you know, I’ve made everything by myself in those designs except for the girl in the picture, the desktop wall and the design up here ( I don’t know how to draw like this in Photoshop 
but I want to learn it ) .
Finally, I hope in the year, a more healthier, peaceful life with our loved ones. I also wish to learn a lot more about designing and CSS which are my life !
And of course, to not let you down here’s a MeToday video

Take Care,

Hello !!!!
So, this is a 1st look interview of the New 2nd beta release of Nokia Messaging for Social Networks.
The description from their labs page is :
Warm up your Twitter fingers, the latest Nokia Messaging* for social networks beta has now added support for Twitter, making tweeting even more convenient from the homescreen of your Nokia handset.
Back in September 2009, we introduced the first iteration of the social networking beta that let people view, post, and comment on messages, share their location and status while keeping up with their Facebook friends right from their Nokia handsets. This was only the start. The majority of the feedback given by beta testers was to add support for other social networking communities (Twitter, done! More to come!) Testers also asked for enhancements to the Facebook functionality. We took your advice and have added these new features:
- Upload pictures and videos
- Events: View upcoming events, birthdays and import to device calendar
- Search friends
- Click-to-call / click-to-SMS / click-to-FB Email
We invite you to download and test drive this social networking client from Nokia Beta Labs. This is an early preview, currently available on the Nokia N97, Nokia N97 Mini, Nokia 5530, Nokia 5800, and the Nokia X6 devices. We will support more devices in the future. We also invite you to visit http://messaging.nokia.com to see what’s available for your device from Nokia Messaging.
The description I would’ve give it is a short one:
It’s a very nice and simple to use application that lets you keep in touch with friends and family on Facebook and Twitter. It’s full featured, it lets you upload photos, videos and even add Facebook events to your calendar (on the phone).
Before I go any further, I run this application on my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.
_____________________________
Well, I took some pictures and under each one you’ll find my opinion :
This is the main interface after adding your account at Twitter. It’s simple and very easy to use. It has all the features you need and it feels so smooth when using either your finger or the stylus. I got totally no complains about it .
This is the same interface just in landscape mode. So cool to use it specially with the full qwerty keyboard. I adore it !!!!
When you click on “What’s happening?” in the main screen, you go to here, from here as you can see, you can post your status, add preloaded quick texts, add your location using Ovi Maps and even shorten links . Just awesome !
__________________________________
It’s basically the same page when you’re in Twitter, just as you can notice different color and icons.
When I clicked on the last icon on the right which has a number 1 on it, It brought me to this. You can from here accept requests and answer the invitations. When you click on the invitation you get a screen of its description and to RSVP in addition to that an option to add it to your own calendar on your phone . Pretty handy.
_____________________________________
I pretty much covered it all and I’ll update this post in time while knowing the app more and more.
Finally this app works on these phones :
Nokia N97, Nokia N97 Mini, Nokia 5530, Nokia 5800, and the Nokia X6 devices and performs much better if you are running the latest firmware on your device.
Hope I helped you and let me know what you think in the comments ^_^
Take Care

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
أتمنى أن تكونوا بألف خير
هذه التدوينة ستكون نصف تقنية. هي عبارة عن قصتي بالمختصر المفيد في وطني، و أنا أحاول الخروج من القوقعة التي يحاصر بها بعضنا ان لم أقل أغلبنا هنا.
منذ بداية السنة الجديدة في الثانوي، كتلميذة جديدة و شخص جديد، لاحظت فروقات ضخمة بين المتوسط و الثانوي : أشخاص منفتحون، الجميع يسلم علي عند مرورهم بي رغم أنني لم أقابلهم من قبل، أشخاص مميزون و معروفون و محبوبون. هذه الفروقات و الصفات جعلتني أفكر، من أنا حقا؟ هل أنا مميزة حقا؟ و هل كنت لأحدث تغييرا في العالم بوجودي أو عدمه؟ لا أدري ان كانت هذه الأسئلة تتباذر على دهن كل طفلة مراهقة في سني، و لكني أحسست بضياع أفقدني قدرتي على كتابة مقال اخر، أو حتى عمل فيديو جديد تعليمي أفيد به غيري، و اكتئاب حتى أنني كنت على وجه الغاء كل ما صنعته هنا في مدة عامين أو أكثر لسبب تافه و هو فكره. أظن أن هذا يعود لعدم وجود تشجيع حقيقي لي هنا في وطني، فاذا قلت لأحد أنني أكتب في التقنيات أو أنني أقوم بعمل فديوهات تعليمية انهمر علي ضاحكا ساخرا، و ان قلت لأستاذ غار مني و انهمر علي قائلا: “لن تصلي الى أي مكان، من أنت حتى تصبحي كذا و تفعلي كذا و كذا” أي أنه تحطيم ذاتي و نفسي. و البارحة فقط بينما كنت أتجول الانترنت كعادتي وصلني ايميل منم صديقتي خلود مؤسسة مدونة دعني أرى ، و مما جاء فيها:
اليوم كنتي ومدونتك نموذج لفتيات في عمرك
كان عندي لقاء مع طالبات متوسط وثانوي نحدثهم عن العطاء وعن التطوع
فقلت لهم مثال رندا الجزائرية >> اللي هي انتي
وكلمتهم عنك وعن مدونتك وعن عزيمتك لتصلي للأفضل بين اللي حولك وكيف تميزتي وأنشأتي مدونة وأنشأتي دروس فيديو تفيدين فيها الآخرين
لمست الدهشة والإعجاب بعملك في عيون الطالبات ، وبإذن الله تكونين دافع لهم حتى يبدعون ويفيدون الآخرين بما يتميزون بهالله يوفقك يارندا ويجعلك دائما مميزة ويجعل ما تفعلينه في ميزان حسناتك
فور قراءة الرسالة، أصبحت عيناي مليئتان بالدموع لما قالته خلود عني و وصفتني به. أدركت حينها أنني مميزة كغيري، و يجب أن أفتخر بمن أكون و ألا أستسلم و أن أعطي أفضل صورة عما يمكن لأبناء الجزائر أن يفعلوا ان كانت لديهم ارادة و توفرت لهم الظروف. و في الأخير، أتوجه بالشكر التام لأختي و عزيزتي خلود لأنها دائما تشجعني و توجهني للأفضل و هي السبب الرئيسي و أول من دفعني لبداية الكتابة باللغة العربية و التكلم بها صوتا، لكـ خالص تحياتي و أتمنى من الله تعالى أن يجزيكـ حسنات و يرفعكـ درجات عنده و يحميكـ و يحفظـكـ من كل شر و عين.

Hi !
I’m writing this post to ask for your opinion. I made this banner for my space in Windows Live Spaces and turned out nice ^_^
I want to know how do you find it, I made it quickly since I’m a bit busy .
Let me know honestly.
See you soon <3

Hi guys and girls !!!!!!
I misssssseeed you a lot I really did XD. I wasn’t able to write anything but simple tweets lately because of school; homeworks, tests, more tests…. etc
As all of you supposed to know that I had my very new cell phone Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (a.k.a Tube) a week ago. Since then, I knew a lot of things about the Tube especially and the Symbian 60 (a.k.a S60) in general. I knew I’ve been missing a lot of things since my very 1st Nokia phone which was more than 7years ago. You may be surprised, but just 3hours ago I knew 3 more new things about my phone, headphones and USB cable, they may look very basic stuff, but I was so happy to know them .
Just to let you know, I’m not regretting getting a Nokia Tube and not an iPhone :
-
1st of all, the iPhone 3GS wasn’t even an option ! It is not available here yet ! and when I asked about the price it was totally SHOCKING !! It was the triple of my father’s budget !!!! So, no way.
-
2nd, even if I was able to get it, it wouldn’t work at all here (in Algeria), no 3G, no paid apps(which are the bone of the iPhone). So, it would look and act like my old phone !!!
Now, to the main subject, I’m going to make a very long review in the next week of the Tube, it’s going to be in parts, since I’ll do a full coverage of the phone, it’s accessories, the programs you need to have its full functions and pretty much every thing else !!
So, stay tuned and wish me luck in the next tests and project, because I really do need it.
Oh, before I forget, this is going to sound funny, but I ADORE SAW SERIES !!!!!!!! follow @lionsgatehorror for more and more updates about the movie and of course @costasmandylor (a.k.a Detective Marc Hoffman) for showing some love ^_^
I love you all <3<3<3<3 !!!
