If making a movie is hard work, then editing it, is the part that hurt most for a lot of us. 

So you want to make an animation. Really? Are you mad? It takes ages. Plus all the work has gone abroad. It’s not a proper job anyway. Immediately stop reading this and whip yourself with birch twigs until you feel very, very sorry. Still reading? Good. Forget the naysayers, we’re only here once, so let’s do something creative.

Google launched a new layout for its social networking service Google+ recently that introduced several interesting features but also a Pinterest-like layout that I think does not really work well when the emphasize is on text and not images. Here is how to costumize it -
