How to Show Label-Based Posts to Pages

How to add label-based posts to pages? This was my first question when I started using blogger.com. I got envy with others, seeing how well they customize their blogs – with these glittery tabs and awesome effects. (I’m still envy tho xD and yes, I’m no big time when it comes to techie stuff. But hey! At least I’m trying. And sharing :D )

So here’s how to do it.

1. Go to Blogger.com and sign in on your account

2. On the left side of your Dashboard click on “Template” and then Select “Edit HTML"

3. Click on the HTML Content (any of it) and Press CTRL + F

4. A search bar will appear and you have to type </b:loop>

5. Copy this sample code and paste it after the second </b:loop>: 

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageTitle == &quot;Fors: Food&quot;'> <li class='selected'><a href='http://carikitty.blogspot.com/search/label/Food?max-results=8' title='Food'>Food</a></li> <b:else/> <li><a href='http://carikitty.blogspot.com/search/label/Food?max-results=8' title='Food'>Food</a></li> </b:if> 

6. Click on “Preview Template” to test it

Don’t SAVE it yet! :O

Now you have to change the Tab Title. For example, you posted about your new cell phone and you labeled it as Cellphone, Gadget, Techy, New, etc.

7. Choose just one label. Choose the one you use more often.  So lets say you chose “Gadget”

8. Now you have to change all the word “Food” that you see in the sample code and replace it with the word “Gadget”. 

9. Change also the carikitty.blogspot.com to your own URL, unless of course you want to plug my page xD

10. If you want more label-based pages, just copy and paste the sample code chronologically - base on what page you want to appear in order.

  

I hope this helps! Good luck and happy blogging :)  

BIR Form No. 2316

What is Form 2316 and why do some companies require this in Pre-Employment Checklist?

BIR Form No. 2316 is a certificate to be accomplished and issued to each employee receiving salaries, wages and other forms or remuneration by each employer indicating therein the total amount paid and the taxes withheld therefrom during the calendar year.This Certificate in turn should be attached to the Annual Income Tax Return (BIR Form 1700 - for individuals receiving purely compensation income, or BIR Form 1701 for individuals with mixed income). http://www.bir.gov.ph/index.php/bir-forms/certificates.html

It is a Certificate of Compensation Payment / Tax Withheld For Compensation Payment With or Without Tax Withheld. It simply indicates that your income had been taxed.

How to get it?

If you are currently employed: your employer will give it to you before the current year-end.

If you are applying for a new job: your previous employer will give this form to you during the last payment of your wage/salary along with your Certificate of Employment and Clearance. This is during the last day of your service.

If your form 2316 is still not available: just ask your previous employer as to when you’ll be able to get it. But if your current company is strict with policies; they may ask you to sign a waiver.  

If you do not have a previous employer on the current year: please advise your current employer and ask them if you need to complete a waiver.

Please take note: should you get it from previous employer if the employment is within the current year.

A lot of people don’t know how to process their PhilHealth Member’s Data Record (MDR)--- it’s actually very easy and you can get it right away. Just make sure you are already a PhilHealth member and you have your PhilHealth I.D. Card.
