Add A Contact Link Or Form To Your Blog
2007-08-24 06:09:00 While browsing, I came upon the Contact ify website. They provide you with a contact link that gives you your own private contact form. You can post that link anywhere you like, and when someone click on that link they are taken to a contact form. The link allows people to contact you online, whilst never revealing your email address. This is quite a useful tool not only for bloggers but anyone who need to sent email. To get a contact link you have to sign up with them which is free. Once you click on the ?Create Link ? button on the registration form, you will receive your own contactify link and an email will be sent to you which contains your link and link no. However, before you can use your link you need to activate your account.You can make as many links as you need, you can easily modify or delete them by going to http://www.contactify.com and clicking on .editlink. You can also embed the contactify form within your blog. To embed the form in your blog, go to http://www.contact... More About: Blog , Form

Protect Your Photo On Your Blog
2007-08-10 08:30:00 While there are no sure ways to keep your images or photos from being used right off your blog, there are a few tricks that will discourage people from using your images or photos. I find this table method a neat trick, it does not involve any software or programming skill just some HTML codes.This table method is very easy as it involves only two same size tables overlapping each other. The image or photo which you want to protect is inserted as a background in the first table while a transparent image in the second table. It is simply one image on top of the other with the top image being able to see through to the bottom image.Try to right click and save the image, you will see that all you save is an empty GIF file. This method is not perfect, it will not stop a more determined person as he can still get the image or photo by locating the file name in the source code as the image itself still resides in the browser's cache. Even if you embed your images in a Flash to protect th... More About: Photo , Blog , Prot

Stand Out With Blockquotes
2007-07-27 16:05:00 Blockquotes are dramatic ways of highlighting text, like a quote, a saying, or some text content you want to highlight. This is to tell readers that they are looking at something special. We can create blockquoted text to makes the quotes a useful design element and not just indented text. A simple way to improve blockquoted text is to add a border around it. For example, in this CSS we will add a 3px wide double black border around this quote:A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allow you to grow.William Shakespeareblockquote {border: 3px double #000000; }Now, this is how the quote will look with the 3px black double border.A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allow you to grow.William ShakespeareThe width of a blockquote can be defined with CSS.

Tag Cloud For Blogger Blogs
2007-07-24 12:21:00 I saw the tag Cloud on some blogs, I find the tag Cloud quite handy because you can see what topics you post about most frequently quite easily. You also use it as a way to see which label you have already used, so you can be consistent when tagging posts. My labels are also getting longer so I planned to replace them with the tag Cloud.I chanced upon phydeaux3 and saw the tag, I was very excited to add the tag to my blog. It was a smooth installation process as the instructions are very clear. Pyhdeaux3 gives very detailed information on the set up and configuration of the tag Cloud. For people who are first time using a label cloud they should take note that they must have at least ONE label with more than ONE entry before starting or the script hit a bug.

How To Create A Favicon For Your Blog
2007-07-17 16:00:00 One of the tricks I find rather useful is the use of favicon. Favicon (short for Favorites Icon) is a feature that makes it possible to associate a logo or other small graphic with a web page or blog. Favicon is the little thing you see on your location bar (History/Address bar) when you visit a website/ blog. The icon also shows up when you save link in your Favorites folder. The icon is showed anywhere you store the link, whether on the Desktop or some other place. Much like the way icons are used on the computer desktop to distinguish computer programs and files, favicons can be used to personalize your blog. To Create A Favicon: 1. Go to thepcmanwebsite use the online Free Logo creator to create a logo for your Favicon. Do not use too many characters - 1 will do, the favicon is only 16 x 16 pixels, it is very small. You can also use your own image.2. The Logo created was about 19 x 22. I used the smallest font size which is 16pt. The favicon created at reduced size (14 x 16) doe... More About: Blog
