HTML Glamour

Hey Jammin' people! This is the last post in the "Animal Jam Blogging Help" mini-series, so I will try and make it the best!


HTML: What is it?

HTML (or Hypnotis somethin' or another....Oh yeah! Hypertext Markup Language! Knew it was somethin' like that...) is the language of web pages. Many websites are created by typing hundreds of lines of gibberish that looks like <body> <img src="http://www.animaljamnox.blogspot.com/p/doo-dah.html" width = "100" height = "100"/>....and so on, so forth. A useful feature of Blogger is that you can directly edit the HTML of your blog. Many people bypass this feature because they either do not notice it or have no idea of what it is. However, you can use this feature to add some really neat stuff to your blog, such as custom cursor, falling objects, etc.

How to change your cursor:

Recommended website where to find cursor: www.cursors-4u.com

Once you have found the cursor you want, copy the HTML code provided.

Go to Blogger. Click on Template, and then on "Edit HTML."


On your keyboard, hit CTRL and F at the same time. In the small pop-up, type in </head>

Right before </head>, paste the code.

Save and close.

Visit your blog. Notice a different cursor? If you try this and it doesn't work, just comment your question below.


Falling Objects:

Falling objects is a pretty neat seasonal thing for your blog. You can change it with every different holiday, event, and party under the sun.

I recommend using the following link: http://24work.blogspot.com/2012/01/falling-objects-falling-text-marquee.html


Sorry for not helping any....but this website gives step-by-step instructions. Just scroll down to find everything!

Blog Music:

Recommended Website: www.soundcloud.com
You don't need to create a SoundCloud account to do this! Simply:
1) Find the music you want
2) Click on the title of the music
3) Click on "Share"
Yellow: Copy this code
Purple: Before you copy the code, you can change things about the music like autoplay

Now, open up the "New Gadget" window and add "HTML/JavaScript"

Paste the code into the "Content" space, and add a title in the "Title" space.
Save, and now you have blog music!


I hope those tips were helpful! I will now work on the requests. If you want to make a request, just visit the "Animal Jam Blogging Help" page and comment!
