Read answers from Experts Exchange for Free- Trick

Have you ever searched google and stumbled into the pages of Experts Exchange? Uff! the I've seen this page so many times to and it really irritates. I found it using Google and Google is there to rescue too.

Can't stand viewing this page?

When you see a Experts Exchange page on the search list, don't click the direct link to the page. It will just lead you to the above image page. Instead check for cached link below it's link and definition.

Click the "Cached", thats where you get the Answers.

Ops! you still see the Subscribe Now Image? Don't worry, just scroll down a bit... TAADA! Answers! Awesome!.
Try it now, works Great.
Update 21 oct 2011:
Hmm... it seems that you can view the answers on expert exchange by viewing the link bordered with red too(above image). It may not work in all cases though.

Iframe Method for Facebook Like

So, I tested with the Iframe method too. It is actually the most easiest way to insert Facebook like to your blogger post. I am still using the FBML version though.
Here is how you do it.
For Blogger/Blogspot

Go to Layout (Design) > Edit HTML and check “Expand Widget Templates”.
Find <data:post.body/> and Below the line add the following codes.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;static_page&quot;'>  <iframe allowTransparency='true' expr:src='&quot;http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=&quot; + data:post.url + &quot;&amp;send=false&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=90&amp;action=like&amp;font=arial&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=21&quot;' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:90px; height:21px;'/>  </b:if> 

The blue coloured ones can be changed according to the your needs. Or got to http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ and customize your Button.
See related post : http://likeweb.blogspot.com/2011/10/finally-i-got-facebook-like-button.html

Test the FBML and IFrame version, and share which one works best with you.

Finally, I got the Facebook Like Button. WoHoo!

After two days(now its way faster than that) of searching and testing I got it. Finally I got the facebook like button to work properly on my blog. Here's how I did it.

First Goto to http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ . Here you will get the required code to insert the like button.
Select the required options as you want, the most important is the URL to Like. It is where you set the post or website which you want to link like button.

For now just type anything there (need to be changed if for blog posts). In Layout Style if you just need a small like box then choose the "button_count".
In the width option, if you chose "button_count" then 150 will just be enough for you. Enter 450 if you want a bit detailed view.

Show Faces shows the Profile Picture of the one who liked the page.

After you click on Get Code a pop-up box will appear showing you the code.

Select XFBML for now and I guide you to rest.

I tried with the other methods HTML5 and IFRAME, the result was not like as I wanted so I chose XFBML.
Choose XFBML for now.

First you have to do is copy the code in second box. You don't need to copy all, just copy the xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#"
Now Go to Blogger and Overview(Dashboard)> Template> Edit HTML. Tick the "Expand Widget Template". You can backup the Code in Notepad if any error occurs.
Find your <HTML ...tag. copy the above code and paste before the ">" of the HTML tag.
Now Find <data:post.body/>Then right below the line paste the code from the First Box(above image).
Then paste another code from the third box(above image) , to the another line below.
Important: Now change the code of third box href='post.url' to expr:href='data:post.url'. This gives the link of the post you are currently viewing.

You like button must be up and running after this. Do ask if any questions.
Click here for The iframe method.
