BB Q5 THE LASTEST BLACKBERRY THAT RUNS ON BB10

Since the launch of BB10, Blackberry have been releasing different phones that run on BB10. First it was Z10, then Q10 and now Q5 has been launched.
The Blackberry Q5 revolves around a 3.1-inch touchscreen and one of BlackBerry's classic physical QWERTY keyboards, which they are so proud of. The screen has an unusual resolution of 720 x 720px - the same as on the Q10, but this time it's an LCD unit. Inside the BlackBerry Q5 there's a dual-core 1.2Ghz CPU and 8 gigs worth of storage. There's a microSD slot to expand that, but the battery is not removable.

The new BlackBerry Q5 will be available in selected markets in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia (including the Asia Pacific region), and Latin America, with availability beginning in July. The smartphone will be offered in black, white, red and pink.

BLACKBERRY Q10 AVAILABLE

While Nigerians are still waiting for the almighty Q10,the wonderful looking Q10 went on sale in Toronto Wednesday, a day before other markets in Canada, giving the residents of the country’s largest city the first chance to snap up the keyboard-equipped device.

The Q10, which has a physical keyboard and a small touchscreen, is the second smartphone Waterloo, Ontario-based RIM has launched this year. The all-touchscreen Z10 was released in Canada in February, and has trickled out in other markets, including the U.S and Nigerian market especially in Lagos and Abuja.

While sales of the Z10 appear to be decent in some markets–like Canada and the U.K.–where the phones hit first, analysts have higher expectations for the Q10 that die-hard fans of the iconic BlackBerry keyboard have been holding out for it.

But first they have to find the phone. If shoppers didn’t pre-order a Q10 online, it was tough to find one in stores in central Toronto.

But currently the Blackberry Q10 is available in Canada. However the Q10 was said to be available in Nigeria on the the 2nd of May 2013 which i am yet to believe.

How to Reset Password on Blackberry Z10

How to Reset Password on Blackberry Z10

Password is indeed very good for security reasons but when you forget it,then you are in for trouble. Just today, a friend met me in Apapa and said that he is ready to pay N5000 to reset his BB Z10 password. 

Are you like my friend who have forgotten  the password of his Blackberry Z10? Unfortunately, BlackBerry device password cannot be recovered or changed if you do not know your current password.

The only way to reset your password without knowing your current password is to delete all of your device data. And it will be done by entering incorrect password multiple times.

It is recommended to backup all your wanted files on your computer.

How to Edit the Code of a Joomla Template

 

Below is how you can edit a joomla template and make it look like you did the whole job. An average Nigerian is now a web designer all because Joomla has made everything easy.

 

 

When you customize a template in Joomla, you typically make changes to its CSS code.

To open a template’s CSS file for editing, follow these steps:

1. In the template’s Details page, click the Edit CSS button.
   The Customize Template page opens. This page lists the CSS files associated with the template — usually, a lot of them.
   
2. Click the name of the style you want to edit.
   The style’s CSS file (template.css) opens for editing in Template Manager.
   

The template.css file is a long one — about 16 pages — and that’s just one of the files that goes into a Joomla template. It’s a bona-fide CSS file, and here’s how it starts:

/*****************************/
/*** Core html setup stuff ***/
/*****************************/
html {
 height: 100%;
 margin-bottom: 1px;
}
form {
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0;
}
body {
    font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
    line-height: 1.3em;
    margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
    font-size: 12px;
    color: #333;
}
a:link, a:visited {
    text-decoration: none;
    font-weight: normal;
}
a:hover {
    text-decoration: underline;
    font-weight: normal;
}
input.button { cursor: pointer; }
p { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 5px; }
img { border: 0 none; }
/*****************************************/
/*** Template specific layout elements ***/
/*****************************************/
#page_bg {
    padding: 10px 0;
    margin-bottom: 1px;
}
div.center {
 text-align: center;
}
div#wrapper {
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}
body.width_medium div#wrapper {
    width: 950px;
}
   .
   .
   .

Unfortunately, to edit this file you really have to know what you’re doing in CSS to make your own changes. (A good WYSIWYG code editor built into Joomla would be great for this situation.)

There’s a lot of debate about whether it’s better to use HTML tables or CSS to arrange components and modules in Joomla templates; both sides of the argument have strong points.

HTML tables, for example, are pretty rigid structures that make it hard for search engines to understand the content of your page. CSS implementations, on the other hand, vary widely from browser to browser, and some older browsers allow you to use only minimal CSS. The Beez template in Joomla is an example of a tableless CSS template.
As you can see, truly customizing a Joomla template is not something to be undertaken lightly. So how do you get the template you want? You can download it. There are Joomla templates online. Some are free while others require a small fee to download.
