Why Google Will Not Shut Down Blogger?

Google’s Blogger is a free blogging platform that exists in the blogosphere. There are other free blogging platforms available but Blogger stands at the top. Millions of bloggers prefer the Blogger platform for starting their first blog.

In the past, Google has dropped many of its products. So, whenever Google shut down its own product, the above question arrives every time. It is quite normal for people to raise their eyebrows when it comes to the Blogger platform.

Since 2012, users are questioning the existence of Blogger. What is the reality? Is Blogger going away? Is Blogger being shut down?

Digitalinformationworld had contacted Google and enquired about the future plans for Blogspot blogger. A spokesperson from Google replied that the company has no such plans to shut down Blogger.

How To Take Screenshot, Edit, and Share on Chrome For Android

Google Chrome for Android brings a new way of capturing screenshots and sharing content online. When you read news and blogs, you may like to share the article on social media. What you will be looking for is the share button on the article. You may also have used the share option provided by your browser.

In all the versions of Android, the share menu takes time to load and sometimes it won't show up. Google has noticed the issue faced by users and brought a new idea to sharing content. YouTube and Google News also introduced custom share tools.

In the latest version of Chrome on Android, you can see that the browser itself comes up with a custom sheet for sharing content.

Chrome for Android thinks differently by providing more tools for sharing content. You can see the additional tools like screenshot capture copy link, QR code creator & scanner, and print.

Your Android phone has a built-in feature for taking a screenshot. It can be slow and it takes screenshots of the entire screen including the status bar. Usually, the status bar shows the network signal, battery percentage, time, and more depending upon the type of app usage. You can also notice the virtual navigation buttons on the screenshots.

On the other hand, Chrome takes a screenshot of the page you're viewing. The screenshot process works inside the Chrome app. Chrome captures an app-level screenshot that can't have the status bar and navigation buttons in the screenshot.

Once you take a screenshot on the Chrome app, you can proceed to edit the image inside Chrome before sharing.

How To Raise Your Hand in Zoom on PC, Mobile, and Web

Zoom is the virtual hotspot for friends, family, and even companies that use the application for communication. When a group of people is attending a meeting, someone would like to express their opinion in their discussion.

Though we have Microsoft Teams and Skype for business at the front, Zoom is the leading choice for many users across the world.

You can stream high-quality video with clear audio. Using filters in Zoom is an added advantage that is liked by many users.

Zoom provides better video and call quality, quick recording of meetings, and screen sharing. There are still many reasons why Zoom is making its touch with a large number of users.

During Zoom meetings, you can politely raise your hand for asking a question. Once the host accepts your request, he/she will allow you to give your input. After you have finished your discussion, you can lower your hand in the same way.

If the host doesn't want to allow any questions from anyone before completing his speech, he can have the ability to lower your hand. The host will be simply notified when someone raises their hand. Then host can lower the questionnaire's hand from his end in a Zoom meeting.

The larger the meeting goes, there is valid the reason for using this feature. Personally, I feel that the raise hand feature in Zoom helps the team members to participate actively in a productive discussion.

The raise hand feature is very helpful for remote employees, group discussions for job candidates, online ministry discussions, and much more.

How To Fix Daemon Tools Access Denied Error

Daemon Tools is a virtual drive or CD/DVD drive. You can use Daemon Tools to create images of CD/DVD. With the help of this tool, you can create bootable devices on a Pendrive. It is the most popular choice for users. 

The free version is called Daemon Tools lite which allows you to emulate up to 4 drives. On the other hand, the paid versions allow for more drives.

Daemon Tools is supported on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 versions. You can install the software on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows computers. This tool is also available for Mac OS.

With the free version, you will get less technical help. The paid versions have a dedicated support team. They can assist you in case of any issues and troubleshooting. There are three paid versions such as Pro, Personal, and Ultra. Each version has its own features and the pricing varies.


If you're trying to mount images and you get an access denied error message, you're not alone. I have experienced a similar issue once. Once you get this error, you cannot mount images anymore. Even if you run Daemon Tools as an administrator, you will still see this error.

I can able to reproduce the issue from my end. After adding the .iso image file in Daemon Tools, I see no issues. Upon double-clicking the mount, I see a pop-up saying, "Access is denied".

The core issue is not from the Daemon Tools. It is due to another software that corrupts the registry on your PC. The issue can be fixed by correcting your registry files.

There are many free and paid software applications available on market for video conversion. One of the video converters is Freemake. The Freemake video converter was initially free but the latest version comes with its limitations.

In the latest version, you need to subscribe to a weekly/monthly/lifetime plan to enjoy the full features.

Our understanding is that the Freemake converter is no longer free to use if you opt for the latest version.

Many users who have used Freemake at least once might have queries on the safety of the software. We will discuss why this question was raised. Should you utilize this application or not? Let's check it out in detail.

How To Control PC From Android Using Chrome Remote Desktop

Are you away from home and need to access your computer for some stuff? Are there any relatives or friends at your home at that moment? With little help from them, you can access your PC from anywhere around the world.

You need to make sure that someone should be able to turn on your remote computer and it must be online. It will enable you to control pc from your phone without any issues.

Avoid the remote computer from going to sleep mode. Though your device can be still connected to the remote computer, you cannot awake the screen from Android (controller device). It would be a good choice to turn off the sleep mode permanently in the display settings on your Windows PC.

One of the fine advantages of remotely accessing a computer is that you can offer technical support to your family member or friend. You need to use the right tools both on your PC and Android device for remote access.

Chrome remote desktop is the safe and free tool provided by Google which needs to access a PC from Android. You can use the keyboard and mouse feature in Chrome remote desktop for navigation.


Chrome remote desktop works fine on Windows, MAC, Linux, and Chrome OS. As the name implies, I would recommend you to use the Chrome browser.
