Featured Article Slide Show

noreply@blogger.com (Felicia) — Sun, 03 May 2009 06:05:00 +0000

**Update** I do not currently have this widget up at Go Graham Go. I am using a slide show feature that came with a template I purchased from PrimaTemplates.com.

I've had several Go Graham Go readers inquire about my "Featured Articles" widget at the top of my page. It is nice for highlighting some important articles or giveaways that are going on. I found a great website with a fantastic tutorial on how to put a similar widget on blogger. I took this tutorial and tweaked so that it worked for what I wanted. Get the original widget at Blogging Tutorial, Free Template & Site Info.

Once you have done this, you can tweak the size of the images by adjusting the height and width. You can also take the text out (just delete it) and speed up or slow down the images by changing the mypets.init # near the bottom of the code. Thanks to Erin from The Mom Buzz for this tip! The widget at Go Graham Go is set to (4000).

I hope this helps!

Auto Scroll Code for your Buttons!

noreply@blogger.com (Felicia) — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 02:49:00 +0000

Here is another frequently asked html question. "How do I create an automatically scrolling box to put my buttons in"? Well here you go! The html is below! I'm sorry that you can not copy it directly. It is an image. Just write the code down and place it in your blog using the html page element. Put the codes for your buttons where indicated. This is basically taking the scrolling marquee that we all know and turning it into a nice place to display buttons!

Please contact me if you have any questions or if you are having trouble with this html!

Creating a Scroll Box Code for Your Button's HTML!

noreply@blogger.com (Felicia) — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 19:08:00 +0000

Here is another frequent question I am asked: "How do I get the scrollbox code for my html to appear for others to "grab" my button for their site?"

The first think you have to do is upload your photo to an image hosting site. I use http://www.photobucket.com/. It is free and quick! Also, photobucket provides you with the direct links to the picture (you are going to need this). Once you have uploaded your photo here is the code you are going to need!

This is an image so you can't copy and paste... I tried to figure out another way... I will keep working on it! But here is the code non the less!

You can always change the height and width of the scroll box as well as add in the border and make it thicker!

Please let me know if this code does not work or if you are having trouble with it!

About This Site

noreply@blogger.com (Felicia) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 13:48:00 +0000

The idea for Blog Designs Free came about after I started to become interested in creating blog templates! I first started by helping out friends and giving simple html tips. Soon I was sucked in and ready to learn more! I decided to compile all of my creativity and offer it for FREE on one site!

Why Free?

First of all, I am by no means a professional. I just love to be creative and see how each new design will turn out! I do not feel like this work should have a charge. I do however, appreciate donations of any kind if you appreciate and use my templates. The designs do take quite a bit of time and energy. Secondly, I wanted to be able to provide cute sites to bloggers who could not afford or did not wish to spend hard earned money on site designs (I can feel your pain and that's why I decided to learn how to do it myself!).

Make sure to click the Free Custom Headers link to find out more about how to get your very own personalized header for the template you downloaded! Or, you can use the pre-made template as is!

Please feel free to contact me with any questions!

How to Create a Contact Form in Google

noreply@blogger.com (Felicia) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 07:04:00 +0000

You may already know that the "bots" or "spiders" can retrieve your email address when it has been published on your site. Even spelling it out (soandso [at] suchandsuch [dot] com) they can find you and send SPAM!

A way around it is to develop a contact form for your site. You can do this easily and FREE using Google Docs!

Here are the steps:
1. Create an account with Google and open up the Docs page
2. Click on "New" and scroll down to "Form"
3. The "form screen" will pop up and give you step by step instructions for what questions you would like to have
4. SAVE
5. Click on "More Actions" and choose "Embed". This will give you the html code you can put onto your website!
6. Or... you can copy the URL address at the bottom and link to the form.
7. MAKE SURE you click out of the form and then open it back up. In the right hand corner you will see a button that says "Share". Make sure you click this and scroll down to "Set Notification Rules" so that you will be notified any time the form changes!

Scroll Box Code

noreply@blogger.com (Felicia) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 06:39:00 +0000

I have been asked pretty frequently how to get a scroll box for widgets (or people's site buttons). Well, ask no more... here is the code:

<div style="border: 0px solid ; overflow: auto; height: 350px; width: 145px; color: black; background-color: white;">YOUR BUTTON CODES HERE</div>

You simply want to add the html of the buttons where it says "YOUR HTML CODES HERE". You can change the appearance of your scroll box by changing the height, width, adding a border and adding a color (add color name after "solid").

If this happens to be a faulty code please send me a message. Also, if you are having any trouble with this please feel free to "Contact Me" at the top of this page!
