I'm just testing if it might be embedded inside an entry because the player width is obviously too big to put into the side column of most blogs. I boxed it in with a centered table in the entry editor. Tampering with the default code: I wanted to see if I could squish vertically to be used in a Blogdrive header html without being a screenful. That works okay at about 100 pixels tall. I also stripped the clickable buttons from the bottom, but left the currently playing track visible. You...

I'd also like to clarify, we identify and block an enormous amount of splogs, about 80% of the pings we get are blocked at the outset. What we addressed last week were issues that prevented URLs that were identified as spam after being indexed from comprehensive removal. Search and the link counting systems that provide the basis for calculating Technorati authority weren't getting purged of the splog data. That should be fixed now and over the weekend, a big retrofit was applied (ergo the "spring...

But, I have to say that watching this video made my Pixel Monkey tablet stylus hard as a rock. Even for someone not interested in Graphic Design, it's hypnotic to watch this: Comment or Die. http://web-litter.blogdrive.com/comments?id=23 http://web-litter.blogdrive.com/archive/22.html Sat, 10 Jun 2006 22:26:33 GMT Here is a reference for the basic entry editor functions on Blogdrive. It shows the default WYSIWYG view (as opposed to the optional HTML view) with some brief explanations for the icons that are used. WYSIWYG stands for "What You See Is What You Get." The majority of commands require that you first highlight the text that you wish the editor to perform some function upon. The highlighted text could be a word, phrase or several paragraphs. Click and drag your mouse cursor across the text to first highlight it, then select a command from the editor by clicking its icon. It should...

While all subscription levels offer extended feeds, a free blog still automatically creates a feed with previews of your last ten entries and links back to your blogdrive blog. Now, all you need to do is use the feed provided and tell your readers how they can use it. People visiting your blogdrive blog can use its automagically generated index.xml or atom.xml file for their own news readers and feed aggregators. ...

The photo gallery is a subscriber feature available on plans 2, 3 and 4. (see chart) One demonstration gallery with multiple sub-galleries can be seen on December. The Occasional has some additional artwork by Angelena. I also use the photo gallery on Thunderstorms in the Imajica. Blogdrive describes their photo gallery system this way: A gallery like no other. Easy to use interface for uploading images. Thumbnail creation on the fly. Skin selection with CSS editing. Organized display with a versatile...

You can read a short introduction to this topic in "Tagging the Blogosphere." Seige discovered a very interesting, and free online service called ZoomClouds that displays a nice tag cloud through the use of a simple script. I do appreciate the automation of a script. Like Seige, I always try to experiment with ideas that enhance my own fun here at BlogDrive. So, until BlogDrive actually codes any given idiot-proof feature into their entry editor, like a dropdown menu...

Valid hexadecimal values are: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F. The color tag in HTML is expressed in this format: "#RRGGBB". The following table shows the 216 color safe palette and its RGB hexadecimal values for use in your HTML. The easiest way to understand the way this works is to look at the table and take note of simple color values. Black is 000000. That suggests a zero amount of Red, Green and Blue. The color code FF0000 has maximum Red, and no Green or Blue. ... (more)
