sverrirs / Google Blogger Social Meta Tags.html
Last active April 28, 2020 05:26
Because it is notoriously difficult, here is how you integrate social media tags for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest into Google Blogger template. Tested and validated by myself on blogger.com in August 2015. This is based on https://gist.github.com/MilanAryal/92997b311580c6e96dd0 but with important fixes and different integration strat…
<!-- add the following code in the head and body tags -->
<head prefix='og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb# article: http://ogp.me/ns/article#'>
<body itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Blog' prefix='og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb# article: http://ogp.me/ns/article#'>
<!--

The browser will automatically interpret the should-be header tags correctly.
The only problem, and unavoidable when using a blogger template is that the Pintrest markup

sverrirs / PlayerController.cs
Created November 12, 2015 00:10
Necessary changes i had to make to the default PlayerController class in the SpaceShooter demo project for Unity3d so that my Xbox 360 Big Button Controller could work (https://gist.github.com/sverrirs/0a0181fb17b29d070003)
public void Update()
{
bool isFiring = Input.GetButton("Fire1") || XboxBigButtonJoystick.GetButton(Controller.Red, Buttons.A);
if (isFiring && Time.time > nextFire)
{
...
}
}
public void FixedUpdate()
