What She Learnt Today : Blogging 101

This morning i thought of trying out 'new' stuff in this blog of mine,just trying it out for size..

1) Added DISQUS comment form

Does it make my blog look too crowded?

How i did it?

i- Went to http://disqus.com/comments

ii- Logged in and registered my blog

 iii- Chose the appropriate settings

iv- Chose which platform i want to install it into ( i.e Blogger)

Then this appears~

 

This is  where the difficult part begins,

Step1: Went back to my Dashboard > Layout/Design > Edit HTML 

Here i clicked on 'Download Full Template'

and saved it into wherever i want (i.e My Documents)

Step2:  Browsed for the template i downloaded just now

then click Upload & Continue 

v- Copied the code it the scroll box and pasted it into the ' Edit Template' area, making sure to Expand Widget Templates 

 

Then go to Settings > Comments and change Comment Defaults for Posts to 

'New Posts Do Not Have Comments'

vi- DONE! Now i have my own DISQUS comment form! 

Huhu still dont know what made me do this..

Maybe i just thought it would be easier for me to interact with my lovely commentators ;)

But please do give some feedback about this thing-y..does it make u NOT want to drop any more comments, or is it easier for you ? Please let me know k?

Theeennnn i started to roam into other stuff~ haha

Thanks to this guy la..A very simple tutorial for new bloggers!

2. Added a widget that lets me know how many people are stalking me! ( as if anybody would ever stalk me..huhu)

Just go to http://whos.amung.us/ copy the code and paste it into your HTML/Javascript form!

So now i have this red-box thing-y on the left center of this blog..

Seems a little crowded now eyh? huhuh

maybe i'll just let it rest there for awhile, try2 only..

3. Some more~~ I finally learnt HOW they make those little cute animations appear in the cbox!

*haiya lyssa, now only u know ah?? 

i- Just login to http://cbox.ws/

ii-  Then click on 'Options' and choose 'Smiles'

iii- Then just replace the URL box with your own pic URL!

( i.e Photobucket, Imageshack etc)

iv- Having fun just replacing every icons with new animated ones!

 

So these are 3 things i managed to learn today..

wonder what else i'll discover tomorrow~~
