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!

I Tried To Upload A Mp3 As A Video Upload.........

however it didn't work!

I only tried it because I saw someone who had posted who said that they thought that this might work. Well it didn't - at least not for me!

I really don't have any real mp3 files other than music - which of course is copyrighted music - which of course is a no-no - which means you really can't upload copyrighted material to your Blogger.com blog!

To find out how to add music to your blog on Blogger.com, just read my blog post here.

Can I Put A Border Around My Blog Post(s)?

I saw this question posted on one of the Blogger.com help boards and decided to try it myself. So far there is only one way that I know of to place a border around one's blog post and that is to put your blog post in the table html coding and add the border attribute. After typing this blog post, I'll look in the preview section to see if it shows a border on my blog post.

I looked through some of my html coding notes and found another piece of information about being able to add a border

Writing From Right To Left?

Here is an interesting thing that was mentioned on one of the Blogger.com "help" threads.

Is it possible to be able to write / type so that your blog posts shows it from right to left instead of the regular way which is left to right?

I saw the question posted and I got curious myself to see if it was possible.

As I type this blog post now I still haven't seen it in the preview mode yet. I just took a look at the blog post in the preview mode and it does look as thought the words are going from right to left however it does look kind of "clunky" looking.

"I Can't?"

Someone posted on one of the Blogger.com's help groups that they couldn't post a blog title with a "?" or include a word with an apostrophe (sp?).

So I'm testing this blog post just to see if I can do it.

Quite frankly I'm sure that I have been able to do this but I just don't remember any of those blog post titles specifically!

Uploading A Video?

I just decided to try and upload a video since so many people were posting about the problems that they were having trying to upload their videos.

This is a relatively short video as far as the size of it is concerned but it did take a long time to upload it! There were a few times when the video box didn't even show but now a few days later when I check this blog post the video box is there!

Problems Uploading Photos?

It seems that the big problem today with blogs on Blogger.com is that people are having problems uploading their photos. So I tried uploading a photo today just to see how well it would work out.

Here you see one of the photos that one of my clients, The Computer Brother uses on their own blog.

This is an animated .gif picture and I won't know if it will animate until I actually view this post.

But if uploading this photo goes right then that means that either Blogger.com has solved the uploading photos problem or it is just a matter of some people not being able to upload photos while other are able to.

There was a similar problem with people being able to upload photos during April and this looks like the same kind of problem.

Adding A Table To Your Blog Entry?

I saw somebody posting about this and asking about whether its possible to add a table to one's blog post.

Well I know that one can add a table to the side of one's blog because I have done it myself but I never thought about whether or not its possible to add a table to one's blog post.

As much as I know about html and html coding, adding a table involves adding quite a few html codes.

I'm going to try to add a table below:

My Table
This is my "test" table!	This is me continuing the table
This is the end of my table!

It may interest you to know that you may not be able to see how your table looks in the "preview" mode. You will have to view your blog to see how your table turned out.

Testing New Blog Layouts?

So many people are posting that they are having trouble when they try to add a differnt blog layout other than the ones that Blogger.com provides. A lot of people are posting that they are getting those dreaded bx error code screens.

Although I have found a way to bypass the Blogger.com error code screen I really loathe the thought of trying different templates on this blog simply because I would have to re-add specific elements to my blog such as my counter and my adsense ads.

I may start another blog just to try out different blog layouts but THIS blog I'd rather keep the layout that I have.

Strikeout?

I saw a post asking the question about how one could add text to their blog that has a line going through it and I decided to try it myslf to see if it works.

This line of text should have a line going through it

If it doesn't then that means that I haven't entered in the right coding for it.
