What is Sphere Related Content plugin?
The Sphere Related Content plug-in allows you to find materials that are related to your post throughout the web including popular sites such as New York Times, WSJ, Real Clear Politics and TechCrunch. It displays an icon link after the blog post, which when clicked automatically flashes a list of related articles.
What’s more impressive about this plugin is that it can dislay related videos as well. If you blog about highly topical events (such as Hollywood gossip, sports, politics), you’ll find this extremely delightful as it lists down video materials that you may find fascinating.
How to install
G-Bloggers don’t have to go through the messy installation process. We’ve already done the dirty work. All you have to do now is activate it.
How to activate
It’s easy to get this plugin to work!
1. Log into your account.
2. Click on the Plugins tab on the upper right corner of your screen.

That’s it. It’s now working!

To all OC bloggers out there (yeah, as in obsessive-compulsive), we’ve got good news for you!
G-Blogs are now equipped with plugins that can support your meticulous nature! Sometimes, one of most arduous tasks in maintaining a blog is to organize the files we upload and to fix our schedules. Now, with G-Blogs, your files will never be in disarray.
Here are the plugins that you should take advantage of. NOW NA!
NEXTGEN GALLERY
Have you ever seen a website with a gazillion pictures scattered all over it? If so, for sure, you wanted to enroll the webmaster in an Organization 101 course. And you don’t want that to happen to your blog.
That’s exactly what NextGen Gallery is trying to avoid. With this plugin, you can organize the pictures you upload in a breeze. You group your pics by gallery and your galleries by albums. It also allows you to upload compressed folders (zip files) in one go.
Here’s a good example of this plugin at work.
EVENTS CALENDAR
If you want to be constantly reminded of your schedule even when you’re in cyberspace, then what better way is there than to post it on your blog! With the Events Calendar plugin, you can add a list of events to your blog so you and your readers will be reminded of important dates!
WP-CACHE
Wordpress, the software that powers G-Blogs, has a very efficient structure. But there are times when the server is slow. This is where the importance of WP Cache plugin comes in.
This plugin saves your blog’s pages on a static file. Instead of loading the dynamic database pages, it serves visitor requests from that file. This improves the speed and responsiveness of your blog,
So what are you waiting for? Log into your G-blogs account now and activate these plugins.
———————
How to Activate
On the dashboard, click on the “Plugins” on the upper right section of your screen. Then look for these plugins and click on “Activate” one at a time.
Once activated, you will find menu tabs that correspond to the plugins. You may change its settings according to your preferences.
Next, click on the “Designs” tab, and then on “Widgets.” Find the plugins you have just installed and click “Add” right beside it. Don’t forget to hit “Save Changes.”
And then, voila! You now have an Event Calendar, a NextGen Gallery and a WP Cache plugin!
Ah, G-Blogs just keeps on getting better!

Sometimes a mobile phone is more than just a communication tool. It can also save you from utter boredom and total dullness. If you feel like the world around you is starting to look so monotonous, maybe the problem is not with the world but you. Maybe, it’s just about time that you have fun again!
To help you with that, here are three of the newest mobile games that are available on myGlobe.
1. DINER DASH 2
Prepare yourself for another exciting day with Flo, our friendly stockbroker-turned waitress as she manages her own restaurant. This time, Flo serves new quirky customers and helps fellow restaurateurs as she juggles several activities as efficiently as possible — take orders, deliver food, serve drinks and collect tips.
Diner Dash is often considered one of the most popular and the most sought-after mobile games today. It started as an immensely popular Internet game but now, we can all help Flo with her grueling tasks anywhere we may be.
2. GET SMART
Based on this year’s box-office hit Get Smart (The Movie), this mobile game features secret agents Maxwell Smart (Steve Carrel) and Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). All you need to do us help them perform their comical fight moves and collect gadgets as they destroy the KAOS forces of evil.
3. CRASH ARENA 3D
Crash Arena 3D is like your ordinary car race game. Just that in this race, there are no rules — which makes it TOTALLY different. Imagine a race wherein racers are allowed to ram into other cars. As a player, you will drive one of four cars powerful cars and all you need to do is to be the last one alive as the race turns into one fatal car war.
…
All these games are now available on myGlobe. Click on the links above or go to myGlobe game page and search for the game you want. You can also choose from hundreds of other games.
