CNY mood

its just like yesterday we celebrated christmas then new year. and now another festive season is just around the corner... oh wow... how time flies very fast. megat went to school today to cover the school's extra CNY holidays from 24 january to 1 february 2009. 26 and 27 january 2009 are the national's public holidays. blimey! looks like i gotta plan some projects to do with megat for that 9 days break :D

as you could see, my blog is in the same mood as well weee...

1. for the scrolling marquee, get the html code from here. although the site is dedicated specially for kids to learn simple html codes, but who cares right. as long as i could learn something from there then it should be no problem at all. in fact i have learned a lot from Lissa Explains! i find other sites are too complicated ;)
   
   
2. for the floating widget (is this correct), i got mine from http://adiwidget.blogspot.com/ . i found the clip art on the web some time ago. i am so sorry that i couldn't remember of where i got it from. i save the clip art under .gif file (of course i edit it to a transparency mood first), then load it in to my photobucket... voila! simple as that :)

kuE' note:
do not feel hesitate to contact me for further queries or clarifications. i would be much glad to help you as far as i could.

how to share / (social) bookmark websites

i just wondered if anyone has used: AddThis — #1 Social Bookmarking Sharing Button — Del.icio.us Digg Facebook Widget :~)

the AddThis button spreads your content across the web by making it easier for your visitors to bookmark and share it with other people, again… and again… and again. this simple yet powerful button is very easy to install and provides valuable analytics about the bookmarking and sharing activity of your users. AddThis helps your visitors create a buzz for your site and increase its popularity and ranking.

this very cool button is very powerful for boomarking and sharing your valuable posts with other people in the internet.


adding Addthis button on the bottom of your posts is so simple—

1. go to Edit HTML under layout and tick the "Expand Widgets box"
   
   
   
2. search for the follwing line:
   
   &ltdiv class='post-footer'> tag.
   
   NOTE:
   if you have chosen the first code,
   the AddThis button will be above the post body items.
   
   if you have chosen the 2nd code,
   the AddThis button will be at the bottom left part and directly beneath the post (scroll down and see where my AddThis button is placed).
   
   
   
3. simply add this Addthis code after this line. done!
   
   

how to create a signature under your blog post

its been a month or so since i have been putting a kind of signature in almost all of my blog post' like this—




now before i start my so gonna called tough saturday*, let me share with you people of how to do it.

1. create a signature—i am so sorry that i have forgotten of where i got the link that i created mine, cuz i did it as soon as i found it while browsing online. then i just saved it under .jpeg in my thumb drive, with thinking that i will find a way of doing this signature thingy one day. alas...
   
   
2. .gif file only and make it transparent—open a photo editing program i.e. photoshop. open your signature file. amend the size as you required, then save it under .gif file.
   
   *take note that the way you SAVE this image is very important! if you have a transparent background to work with, then in order to maintain that look, you have to save it as a .gif image. if you have not chosen to use a transparent background, then it’s okay to save it as a .jpeg .
   
   
3. uploading image—you’ll need to upload your image to an image hosting website such as photobucket.com .
   
   
4. sign it!—
   
   
   • in your template page, find this line of code:
     
     
     
     please be aware that the above code is specifically for blogger.com . unfortunately for other blog service provider, you are advised to check with them of where you shall placed the following code.
     
     then paste this line of code into your html:
     
     
     change the capitalized IMAGE to the actual URL or DIRECT LINK for the image you want to use.
     
     voila! you have got your signature done.
     
     the above instructions allow you to include your signature graphic on every post you write and publish. you do not have to manually add it once you have followed that instructions.
     
     
   • but for me i prefer to sign mine in each post manually cuz that way, i'll know/remember of basically when i first started practice this. it won't be that troublesome though. i just have to copy and paste the code whenever i wanna create one.
   
   
   
5. complete—preview your template. if you're happy with the result, save your work.

congratulations! now you have a custom signature to give character to each one of your blog posts!

do not feel hesitate to email me for further queries or clarifications. i would be much glad to help you in any way i could... god willing.
