Changing The Size Of Your Font

Of course you can change the size of the font that appears in your blog. Like so:

this font should be large!

this font should be appearing HUGE!

See what I mean?

You have to use the coding that includes font size="+1-9"

You also have to be careful about how big you make your font because you don't want it to make your blog look bad. If you make your font too big it may break in the lines and not always word-wrap to your liking. So some fine-tuning may be necessary!

Typing Like A Typewriter?

this goes back to my days when I was first learning html but if you would like your blog posts to look EXACTLY like how you type it (instead of using Blogger.com's formate) then what you want to do is add the prefix and the suffix PRE which stands for "preformatted" (I think). Like so:

I know that a lot of people really 

HATE the IRS!

But you have to come to realize that they 

are a necessary evil.......

Just think of what would happen if you

 owed taxes but didn't pay!

The IRS WILL come after you!

There are no free government grants yet 

for not paying your taxes - yet!

I took a look at the above paragraph using the preview feature and it came out exactly as I typed it!



One thing that I did notice is that you have to be very careful when using the pre format because if your lines / sentences are running too long they will get cut off!

After publishing this blog post I noticed that the ends of my long sentences were running off the side of the blog so I had to edit them to make the sentences break on separate lines so that the whole sentence can be seen in its entirety!

So be careful about that if you want to use the pre format!

Using An Image As A Background?

Here's a very interesting question? Can you use a background image in your blog post?

This is something I never tried before!

This is just a test! It seems that the more text you add, the more bigger your image in the background?

Mind you this is only just a test!

I was using one of my Photobucket images to use as a test background. I'm sure given some time and patience that I could make a nice background image, add it to my photobucket account and then use it here.

But it is possible to add an image to your blog post and use it as a background!

Blurry Pictures?

I noticed that some of the pictures that I uploaded to my (and my clients') blogs looked kind of blurry! This was especially so when the images were photographs of some kind. It also happens with 3D-related images as well.

At the beginning I was uploading images using the .jpg format but I found that the .png format made the images appear a lot clearer! So this is something that you may want to try when uploading images.

Can You Add Pictures Side By Side?

Although I rarely post more than one image to my blog posts, I saw a question asked about whether or not it was possible to add pictures so that they can be seen next to one another instead of on top of each other and if so, how could it be done? So I decided to give it a try!

Hope it works?









I looked at the results in the preview window and it seems in my haste I added pictures that were too big in size - BUT the general concept DOES work!



I also forgot to take in the effect that if the pictures are too large in size they won't appear side by side because the column width of the blog posts is not enough to accomodate having big pictures side by side!




So let's try this again!

"Twit This"?

I have been trying to add a "Twit This" button to the bottom of my blog posts on my Different Blog Layouts Blog but so far it doesn't seem to be working!

So I thought that I might try to add it on a separate blog post!

So here it goes.........................



It didn't work!
