How to change password in PayPal?

AJ — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 14:27:56 +0000

Here’s a common question I get all the time from colleagues and friends: “How do I change my password in PayPal?”. At first I thought they’re just not looking hard. Until I realized, they had a point. It’s actually not hard, it’s just a bit confusing. Here’s how:

As soon as you login, click the “Profile” link.

As soon as your mouse hover the word “Profile”, it will pop-out a menu for adding/editing other items. Ignore that menu and just click on the “Profile” link.

That’s it! I guess the menu throws people off.

OR use this quick link to change your password in PayPal. Hope it helps.

I’ve gotten really lots of emails to improve on my Simple Facebook Like plugin and it took me awhile to build it. I was extremely busy with other important things. So here you go, the latest WordPress Facebook Like Plugin. Now with admin options to change the look and feel as well as other options.

WordPress Facebook Like Plugin – Adds a Facebook “Like” Button to your blog posts and increase your visitor engagement instantly! This plugin adds a simple and easy to use Facebook Like functionality with admin options to change the location of Facebook Like button, font, show faces, use the box with count as well as other cool and useful options. Visitors “liking” your content automatically posts them as shared item on their Facebook profile with a thumbnail of your site’s image post. Pretty cool!

The Like button lets a user share your content with friends on Facebook. When the user clicks the Like button on your site, a story appears in the user’s friends’ News Feed with a link back to your website.

This is an amazing and entirely original concept that I have seen so far and personally, I see this happening in the next 5 years. And believe me, we’re almost there!

“This is the result of the Open Innovation experiment. It is an experience video showing the future of screen technology with stretchable screens, transparent screens and e-ink displays, to name a few.”

It’s awesome! Great video editing.

Yes you are reading that right, Facebook is bigger than Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Turkey combined in terms of population. Facebook has a staggering count of 150 million users according to Mark Zuckerberg (Founder, Facebook).

Country population breakdown:

Turkey – 71,892,808
Canada – 33,515,000
Australia – 21,468,700
New Zealand – 4,280,000

Total 131,246,508*

That, my friend, is really impressive! It makes you wonder how they keep their systems running smoothly, how they scale up rapidly.

Facebook has more than 10,000 servers and leverages mostly open-source software across a distributed architecture, with thousands of MySQL instances. “It’s almost a new challenge every day,”

That’s not the only thing, Facebook has more than 10 billion photos! Some additional stats:
