Rounded Corners on All Your Post Images

Hi guys!!!! It's been so long since the last tutorial was posted on here!!! So here's a quicky welcome back tutorial :~)

How to Make all your Post Images Have Rounded Corners wow this is a long title

Here's an example of what I mean:

1) Sign into Blogger, then go to Template > Edit HTML

 2) Hit CTRL+F (Command+F on Macs) and search for the following:
.post-body img
OR
.post img
3) Under .post-body img/.post img add this code:
border-radius:15px;
You can change the 15 to any number you'd like. Decrease it to make the corners sharper, or increase it to make the corners rounder.

Your end result should look something like this:


4) Save and you're done!

Good luck and have fun! ^_^
Until next time,

How to make a Go to Bottom button

Here you go everybody x)

How to make a Go to Bottom button

Oookay first of all, lemme tell you that I have no idea what people find useful with Go to Bottom buttons... but it's just something fun to have on your blog 8) Here we go!

1. Make a go to bottom button of some sort. Obviously there won't be a lot on the internet, because nobody really has one of these on their blogs, and I'm pretty sure not a lot of people know how to make a go to bottom button either. Here's a sample on I quickly made, and feel free to use it if you want. 


Upload your image to Tinypic or Photobucket!

2. Log on to Blogger, then from your Dashboard go to Design>Page Elements>Add a Gadget>HTML/Javascript.
3. Paste this into the gadget:

<a name="bottom"></a>

3. Now, drag this gadget to the very bottom of the page.

Click to view larger
4. Again, click Add a Gadget>HTML/Javascript, and this time, paste the following code. If you already have a gadget containing your Back to Top button code, open that up.

5. Paste the following code into the gadget:

<a style="display:scroll;position:fixed;bottom:5px;left:5px;" href="#bottom" title="Go to Bottom"><img src="URL_GOES_HERE" /></a>

Replace URL_GOES_HERE with the direct link to your image. Feel free to play around with the left bottom thing. (bottom:5px;left:5px;) Once you feel that your go to bottom button is fine, you're good to go!

Have fun, and I hope this helped you 8)
Until next time

Make a Show/Hide Navbar button

It's been a super long time since the last tutorial... Here's a new one, requested by Magiic.

How to make a Show/Hide Navbar button

First, go to Blogger > Design > Page Elements > Add a Gadget > HTML/Javascript.
Then, copy and paste this code:



<script type="text/javascript">
var showHeader=false;
function ShowHideNav()
{
showHeader=!showHeader;
var nav=document.getElementById("navbar-iframe");
if (showHeader)
{
nav.style.visibility="visible";
nav.style.display="block";
}
else
{
nav.style.visibility="hidden";
nav.style.display="none";
}
}
</script>
<style type="text/css">
#navbar-iframe {
visibility: hidden;
display: none;
}
</style>


<span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:20px;" onclick="ShowHideNav();">
Show/Hide the Navbar
<a style="visibility:hidden;" href="#"></a>
</span>



You can also customize the button.
The first way is to change the "Show/Hide the Navbar" text (bolded) to anything you want.
You can also change the appearance by editing the code in the span style;

span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:20px;"

If you know how to, change the bolded text to any appearance settings you want... if you don't, you can check this out to learn some cool customization code. (Click on anything under "CSS Styling")

Save, Preview, and View! YAY. YOU'RE DONE! :D

And here's a little tip. Add your button above the header so it'll be easier for people to click on it. If you need to know how to add gadgets above the header, click here!

So that's basically it!

...A GIVEAWAY (or contest...) Another one!

Hey everybody! Since Two's gone to Vegas (psh lucky askfduejkf) I might as well do something interesting for you guys. SO HERE'S ANOTHER GIVEAWAY. YAYYYYY

This one requires a little work to enter. It kinda works like a contest - but I don't choose the winner. Instead some random number generating thing chooses the winner for me.
Here are the details!

How to make a randomly changing header

Happy Wednesday everybody! Today I've decided to do another tutorial cus this has been requested numerous amounts of times.

So you all know how we have different headers every time you refresh the page on here. We don't have a different header for each page... but we DO have a randomly generating header, so you could either see one header or the other. Let's get started!

Quickee Tutorial

Hey everyone! Quickee tutorial for the hour. I'm writing this on my iPod - so don't mind if some things are misspelled or doesn't make sense.

Today's tutorial is on how to have a different background for each post. (Recommended by Fruity (these tutorials are especially helpful for blogs like Shrinky's blog, where there are different authors and each author has a color coded post).

So let's get started! First off, just write your post. Don't worry about the background part for now - we'll do that later!

After you have finished your WHOLE post, switch from Compose mode to Edit HTML mode. Now, add this part of code before your whole post:

<div style="background: url(URL goes here);">

And if you want just a color for your background (not an image) here's the needed code:

<div style="background:#FFFFFF;">

And of course you have to end your div tag! So put this at the end of your code:

</div>

That's it! Now just preview and publish your post!

Until next time...

How to install a Post Divider

Hey! Here's a new tutorial, how to install a post divider, requested by Tapity1.

How to install a Post Divider

1. Find out the width of your blog's main wrapper

First of all, you'll need to find out the width of your main wrapper. That way, you can make sure that your post divider is the right size.

To do this, go to Design>Edit HTML on your blog.

Hit CTRL+F to search. Search for...
#main-wrapper
Now, you'll find a code that looks like this:
#main-wrapper {
width:425px;
(more code here)
The width of your main-wrapper is whatever number that's under your width. In my case, it's 425px.

2. Make your Post Divider

Now, make your post divider! REMEMBER TO MAKE THE WIDTH THE SAME WIDTH AS YOUR MAIN-WRAPPER! Otherwise, it'll be too big or too small.
 I also suggest making the height 50-75px. Make sure that you save it as a .PNG! Not only will it have good quality, but if you want your post divider with a transparent background, PNG is the only format that works.

3. Host your image online

Now, upload your image to Tinypic or Photobucket.
Leave the window open coz we'll need the direct link for later.

4. Install your Post Divider

Now, log onto Blogger, and go to Design>Edit HTML.
Hit CTRL+F again and search for...
.post {
Now, you'll find a code that looks something like this.
.post {
margin:.5em 0 1.5em;
border-bottom:1px dotted $bordercolor;
padding-bottom:1.5em;
}
 Now, delete this whole code and replace it with...
.post {
background: url(URL GOES HERE);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: bottom center;
margin:.5em 0 1.5em;
border-bottom:0px dotted $bordercolor;
padding-bottom:5.5em;
}
Replace "URL GOES HERE" with your post divider's direct link. You might want to change the "5.5" for "padding-bottom" with a 5.0 or 4.5 if you think your post divider isn't "fitting". Preview and save!

Have fun and enjoy!
Until next time...

Hello! I know I have to post the last of the three amazing effects, but I actually thought of one idea but then I realized it would be hard to make you guys understand.

7 Awesome Places Where You Can Edit Pics

Hi guys!

So you know how for many and most contests on the main blog require you to edit or create or do SOMETHING with a picture? (Which, I think is pathetic)

Many of you use Photoshop (which you all illegally downloaded online btw) and for the some of you who a)are too stupid to know how to get free photoshop b)don't want to or can't afford photoshop or c)hate photoshop and don't ever want to use it (WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU), this post is for you!

Here are seven great places ONLINE where you can edit images. 8) From the basics of adding text to totally giving an online makeover, these places are da bomb!

1. Sumo Paint


You've heard of Paint, Paint.NET and all of these other sucky computer APPLICATIONS, but Sumo Paint is an online tool with, in my honest opinion, MANY of Photoshop's features.

To go to the app directly click here or go to http://www.sumopaint.com/app/

Or to go to the official Sumo Paint website go to http://sumopaint.com/

2. Fotoflexer



If you have a Photobucket account you'll definitely recognize Fotoflexer. This lets you add text, adjustments, and even ANIMATIONS to an image! Pretty high tech.



3. Photoshop Express

probably impossible to see coz it's a white image and there's a light background

If you think this is like the online version of the real photoshop, it honestly isn't...

...it only contains what you would find under the "Adjustments" part of Photoshop. You can't add text. But you can still crop and add effects :)

4. Splashup


Splashup is a pretty cool tool. Probably my favorite out of the seven. It's advanced, but therefore not too advanced that you can't understand how to use it. My favorite thing about it is that it has LAYERS. WOAH. (Okay not so great coz i'm pretty sure that 2-3 more of these programs have layers as well)

Lemme also point out that Splashup ALSO has an application for computers. It's called Splashup Light. It has a little less features than the regular Splashup but it's still great... :)

LOL a lot of links for this one...

5. Picnik
Picnik is best for adding additions to images. But, the site also lets you add text and tons of effects which makes it a cool site. Kind of like fotoflexer :P


6. Pixlr



I also really like Pixlr. It's very much like Splashup except all the buttons and little icons are PUNY. Microscopic. Can barely see them.

But it's still really advanced :)


7. Aviary



LAST OF ALL! Here's Aviary, VERY much like Picnik but it has A LOTTTT more variety! I mean look at the homepage!


Wow. A MUSIC maker? AWESOME!!!

No endings to what you can do on this site...

Here's the link to the Aviary website. Check out and explore the whole site! :)

That's the seven I recommend! There's probably like a thousand in the world but these are just the ones I know of and recommend for editing pictures when you need to edit them for not only contests on the main blog... but anything! :)

Thanks for reading!
Until next time..

Here's how it looks like. (I took the picture from my iPod)


And then you just click little post tab to view the whole post.

You would not believe the trouble I went thru to get this picture uploaded... at once I was in risk of getting my whole iTunes library + all my apps deleted
Oh yeah, and then the racing game contest has ended. Here are the winners...

I took this image off Chobots Official blog coz I'm too fat, lazy and ugly to take my own screenshot.
Doesn't number 6 remind you of someone? -gags-
