*Sorry all but I've sort of stopped coming to bs.com because I've been rather busy.
If I do not reply here feel free to email me @ tessakerkpercy@yahoo.com.sg and I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can.
Sorry sorry sorry sorry for neglecting this thread for millions of years  *
After replying to a million same questions posted in this category,
I've decided just to post a new thread answering the questions people are repeating here.
If you have any more questions you can post a reply here and I'll try to find the answer : )
1. I copy and paste my codes into my blogger, but this message pops up!
"Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: The element type "body" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "". "
So I try to close everything properly,
But it shows me this:
"There should only be one and only one skin in this template. We found:0"
It's the same thing for every skin I try!
You need to revert to the classic template!
Scroll down below that big white box where you paste your code,
And click the second link that says,
Revert to classic template.
Click okay when there's the pop-up.
Now try to enter your codes again,
And this time it should work.
2. How do I add archieves to my blog?
Enter this code:
[BloggerArchives]
[a href='[$BlogArchiveURL$]'][$BlogArchiveName$][/a]
[/BloggerArchives]
Your achieves will look something like this:
March 2008
April 2008
May 2008
June 2008
July 2008
Remember to replace the [ ] brackets with the pointy ones.
3. What is that code to allow people to view previous posts?
Enter this code:
[BloggerPreviousItems]
[a href="[$BlogItemPermalinkURL$]"]
[$BlogPreviousItemTitle$]
[/a][br /]
[/BloggerPreviousItems]
This code will show your latest 10 posts with the latest on top.
Remember to replace the [ ] brackets with the pointy ones.
4. How do I link people?!
Enter this code:
[a href="http://www.syntheticlovee.blogspot.com"] Friend [/a]
Replace http://www.syntheticlovee.blogspot.com with your friend's link and replace Friend with your friend's name.
Remember to replace the [ ] brackets with the pointy ones.
5. What if I have ten friends and I want to link them all?
Just repeat the code ten times.
Like so:
[a href="http://www.syntheticlovee.blogspot.com"] Friend [/a]
[a href="http://www.syntheticlovee.blogspot.com"] Friend [/a]
[a href="http://www.syntheticlovee.blogspot.com"] Friend [/a]
[a href="http://www.syntheticlovee.blogspot.com"] Friend [/a]
[a href="http://www.syntheticlovee.blogspot.com"] Friend [/a]
[a href="http://www.syntheticlovee.blogspot.com"] Friend [/a]
[a href="http://www.syntheticlovee.blogspot.com"] Friend [/a]
[a href="http://www.syntheticlovee.blogspot.com"] Friend [/a]
[a href="http://www.syntheticlovee.blogspot.com"] Friend [/a]
[a href="http://www.syntheticlovee.blogspot.com"] Friend [/a]
Remember to replace the [ ] brackets with the pointy ones.
6. How do I bold, underline, etc., my words?
For bolded words,
Enter [b ]bold[/b ].
For underlined words,
Enter [u ]underlined[/u ].
For striked words,
Enter [s]striked[/s].
For italic words,
Enter [i ]italic[/i ]
For scrolling words,
Enter [marquee]scrolling[/marquee]
To change the direction of where you want your words to scroll,
Enter this code:
[marquee behavior=scroll direction="left"]Your message here[/marquee]
Just change the left to right or let it remain.
To change the scrolling speed,
Enter this code:
[marquee behavior=scroll direction="left" scrollamount="5"]Your message here[/marquee]
Replace the 5 with whatever speed you want.
Just don't go over 50 because then it would be very hard to read and catch the words.
You can also add a background colour to your marquee.
Enter this code:
[marquee bgcolor="#000000"]your message here[/marquee]
Just replace the hex code with whatever colour you want.
Remember to change the [ ] brackets to the pointy ones.
And close the spaces in between the alphabats and the closing brackets.
7. How do I upload/display music on my blog?
You can go to www.imeem.com to find music,
or google for music sites.
But I'll use imeem as an example.
Let's say you want to upload Check Yes Juliet by We The Kings
So you go to the search engine at the top right hand corner and type in "Check Yes Juliet"
Once you've got the results,
Click on the top link.
You should reach this page:
www.imeem.com/people/XGAqAr2/music/DT8qlP2o/we_the_kings_...
Now,
look below the music box.
There should be,
on the left,
A code.
Copy and paste this code into your blog.
If you want it to automatically play when you open your blog,
Check the little box next to auto play.
Screenshot: 4.bp.blogspot.com/_CbIChgY3iw8/SOc22sRkxuI/AAAAAAAABW8/XL...
8. If I can put boxes on the left side of my blog, how do I put boxes on the right side of my blog, too?
Check out these websites,
www.thenoodleincident.com/tutorials/box_lesson/boxes.html
intensivstation.ch/en/templates/
9. I can't download skins!
I think there's a glitch with the compressed folders now,
But try using Mozilla Firefox to download the skins.
It should work.
If it doesn't,
Go here: www.win-rar.com
Download and then you should be able to extract the codes.
10. How do I allow comments on my blog?
Go to Settings ~ Comments.
Then click Show instead of Hide.
From here you can also decide who you'll allow to comment,
Like,
Anyone - includes Anonymous Users
Registered Users - includes OpenID
Users with Google Accounts
Only members of this blog
Or
You can enter this code:
[BlogItemCommentsEnabled]
[a href="[$BlogItemCommentCreate$]"
[$BlogItemCommentFormOnClick$]]
[$BlogItemCommentCount$] comments[/a]
[/BlogItemCommentsEnabled]
Remember to replace the [ ] brackets with the pointy ones.
Or
You could use Haloscan
Haloscan allows people to comment on the entries you write,
Just like the blogger feature,
But it also allows ratings and trackbacks.
You will also be able to edit other people's comments.
And it's free.
Or if you don't like this commenting thing,
You could just get a cbox here
11. How do I prevent people from viewing source (of pictures etc.)?
Actually,
It would be better to prevent right click.
This way people cannot view source as well as copy etc.
Enter this code:
//Disable right click script III- By Renigade (renigade@mediaone.net)
//For full source code, visit www.dynamicdrive.com
var message="";
///////////////////////////////////
function clickIE() {if (document.all) {(message);return false;}}
function clickNS(e) {if
(document.layers||(document.getElementById&&!document.all)) {
if (e.which==2||e.which==3) {(message);return false;}}}
if (document.layers)
{document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);document.onmousedown=clickNS;}
else{document.onmouseup=clickNS;document.oncontextmenu=clickIE;}
document.oncontextmenu=new Function("return false" )
// --]
[/script]
Or
You could try this code:
[body oncontextmenu="return false"]
But I'm not too sure whether it works or not because I use the above code instead.
Remember to replace the [ ] brackets with the pointy ones.
12. How do I disable ALL clicks?
Enter this code after your head tag:
[script language="javascript"]
// No click script
// This script and others available free at www.lissaexplains.com
function click() {
if (event.button==1 || event.button==2) {
alert('Sorry, that function is disabled' )
}
}
document.onmousedown=click
[/script]
Remember to replace the [ ] brackets with the pointy ones.
13. How do I disable the image toolbar?
This is the bar that appears when you right click on an image.
It allows you to save picture,
send picture, etc.,
Enter this code:
[meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no"]
When you enter this code at the head of your site,
It blocks the toolbar for all of your pictures.
But if you only want to disable for one or more of your pictures,
Enter this code to your image:
[img src="yourimage.gif" galleryimg="no"]
Replace yourimage.gif with your own image.
Remember to replace the [ ] brackets with the pointy ones.
14. What are hex codes and where can I get them?
Hex codes are basically 6 digit codes that represent a colour in numbers.
All hex codes begin with a "#"
For example,
The hex code for the colour black is #000000
You can find the hex codes for colours at these websites:
www.quackit.com/html/html_color_codes.cfm
www.html-color-codes.com/
www.webmonkey.com/reference/Color_Charts
15. So how do I change the colour of my words/text?
This is simple.
For example you want your text to be red.
So you key this in:
[font color="red"] I love red [/font]
You can also use hex codes instead of words for colours that are not primary/secondary/tertiary colours.
Remember to change the [ ] brackets to the pointy ones.
16. How do I change my words font?
This is similar to the change colour code.
[font face="Ariel"] I love this font [/font]
Just put any font you like.
Remember to change the [ ] brackets to the pointy ones.
17. So can I change my font size too?
Yes.
Just enter:
[font size="5"] Big font ;D[/font]
Or choose any size you like.
If you want to change the colour, font, and size at the same time,
Just combine all the codes.
[font color="red" font="ariel" size="5"] I love barney.[/font]
Remember to change the [ ] brackets to the pointy ones.
18. How do I add labels on my blog?
Actually I don't know.
But someone asked me so I went to try to find something.
Found out that this is actually a feature of Blogger's blogskins.
When you are using a blogskins made by Blogger,
After writing a post,
At the bottom,
You can add a label.
This label'll then come out at the side of your blog.
If anyone has the code to allow this kind of labelling system in customised blogskins,
Please tell me!
I'll post it up here and credit you. : )
19. How do I show my previous posts?
Just enter this code:
[BloggerPreviousItems]
[a href="[$BlogItemPermalinkURL$]"]
[$BlogPreviousItemTitle$]
[/a][br /]
[/BloggerPreviousItems]
Remember to change the [ ] brackets to the pointy ones.
20. How do I allow people to enter their links whenever they post a comment on my blog? (See question 10)
Please note that if you're using Haloscan and cbox, this service is already provided.
Just enter this code:
[MainOrArchivePage]
[BlogItemCommentsEnabled]
[a href="[$BlogItemPermalinkURL$]#comments"]
[$BlogItemCommentCount$] comments[/a]
[/BlogItemCommentsEnabled]
[/MainOrArchivePage]
Now whenever people comment on your blog post,
They'll be able to type in their links too so that you could visit their website or whatever.
Remember to change the [ ] brackets to the pointy ones.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay right.
Sorry people I didn't put question 20 directly below question 10.
I am lazy okay ):
It's just that I found the code so I've decided to put it up here 
Edited 2 months ago. |

[body oncontextmenu="return false" onselectstart="return false" ondragstart="return false"]
[div class="vongola" style="background: transparent;" id="main"]

can i ask why when i use one o the blogskin templates, it reverts me back to older version which has the function "template" instead of the newer "layout" function? Is there any way of getting around this problem? i would like to have both the functions! Thank You!
|
| |
| |
|
| |
Thanks so much for this. I got my comments working.
The only other problem I am having is that my layout coding does not let the title show, so when I tried to add the "previous posts" coding, it turned out all funky.
Any ideas?
