Chrome Profile Manager Activated

We have seen an empty profile manager in Chromium and Chrome among experimental features and in developer channel.  Now it’s finally activated in Chromium’s latest build (from version 14.0.818.0 onward).

This feature allows users to create multiple profiles and switch among them.  In the past you need to have more than one Google accounts and configure synchronization.  Now you can do it easily in “Personal Stuff” in the “Options” menu.  Each profile can have unique Chrome themes, passwords, bookmarks, autofill and browsing history.

Chromium is the open-source version of Chrome.  It is believed that this function would appear in the coming Chrome 14.

GoogleCards WordPress Plugin for displaying Google+ Profile

Finally, you don’t need to copy-paste code to wordpress widget to create Google+ profile card in blog.  This wordpress plug-in, GoogleCards, displays a neat profile card in your blog.

Installation is easy.  Just go to “Plugins” in WordPress admin panel, click “Add New” and enter the plug-in’s name “googlecards”.  Follow the instruction to install.  Alternatively, you can download the plugin from the official site and upload it in “Plugins” section.

Once installed, you can go to “Widgets” to find the widget and drag it to the appropriate location.  Enter your Google+ ID (the string of numbers in the URL of your profile page).  Unlike WidgetsPlus and Gglpls I introduced before, there’s not much you can change.  No color or font size settings, just the heading “Follow me on Google+”.  But GoogleCards is neat and tidy, most suitable for minimalistic web sites.
