Power Voting For Internet Explorer Users

Some browsers, including IE and Opera, are not able to recognize the coding of the Power Button code. Users of these browsers are then advised to create multiple bookmarks of the site instead. Below is how it is done using Internet Explorer 8 but the same principle can be applied to other browsers including Firefox and Opera.

STEP 1

1. Go to http://heroes.cnn.com/confirmvote.aspx?id=06&lang=1
2. Press CTRL + D to open the Add a Favorite dialog box.
3. Assign a unique name so as to avoid being prompted to overwrite later on.
4. Under “Create In:“, click New Folder.
5. A Create a Folder window will pop-up. Type Power Vote as the folder name.
6. Click Create.
7. Click Add.

STEP 2

1. With the same browser still open, again press CTRL + D.
2. Assign a unique name for the page.
3. Under the title “Create In:“, click the drop down arrow and select Power Vote.
4. Click Add.
5. Repeat this set as desired.

NOTE:
I advise not to bookmark more than 10 as the page loading becomes slow resulting to expired pages.

TO VOTE

1. Go to Favorites.
2. Click the button beside the Power Vote folder to open all bokmarked pages in a tab.
3. Type in the blank field the code as it appears.
4. Press VOTE.

Campaign Badges for Efren Penaflorida

Among the many video interviews I saw featuring Ef, I would say that this one is my favorite.

Efren Penaflorida is the first and only Filipino that made it to CNN’s Top 10 Heroes. Voting is currently ongoing until November 19, 7PM to determine the Hero of the Year. Please support him by voting and placing on your website a campaign badge that redirects to his voting page.

At this same time, a special edition of “AC360,” profiling this year’s honorees and their causes — “Change the World, You Vote, CNN Heroes” — airs on CNN and CNN International.

Vote for Efren by clicking the badge below or by going to CNN’s Voting Page. Voting continues until Thursday, November 19, 2009 (6 a.m. ET). There is no limit on the number of times you may vote for the Hero of the Year.

Help The Victims of Typhoon Ondoy

During times of calamity, let us do what we can do to help. Up to this time, there are families that still need to be rescued and people without food and clothing. If you are in a capable position to help, why hesitate?

Support Earth Hour 2009

Support Earth Hour 2009 and help promote awareness that we need to take action to save planet Earth. From the Earth Hour official website we read:

This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.

For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.

VOTE EARTH by switching off your lights for one hour on Saturday, March 28, 8:30-9:30pm. If your site runs on a self-hosted WordPress, you might want to check out this plugin as well.

Save the planet, save our race.
