Google+ Profile Hack (with Photoshop Template)

Last year I shared a Facebook profile hack here on my blog.

Today I’ve updated the hack to work with Google+ (especially now that Facebook has shifted to their new timeline format so the Facebook hack doesn’t work anymore) and shared the updated instructions over at BigBible.org.uk.

You can download the zipped Photoshop Template here and get the instructions over at BigBible.org.uk.

Update: Google+ announced a totally new redesign this morning.

Surprisingly this hack still works – but it’s not a necessity as you can now use one long photo instead of multiple thumbnails.

So now that the redesign is live – what do you think about it? Like it? Love it? Hate change?

Ustream videos not working? – Fixed!

The Ustream Black Box (no video loading)

I tried Internet Explorer (IE8), Firefox and Chrome. Nothing.

After numerous Google searches, I was still out of luck.

No video on the site would load.

YouTube worked. Vimeo worked. Facebook video worked.

But no Ustream. Nothing but a black box appeared in place of the video.
