When I first started "tweaking" blogs it became addicting! I wanted to see what else I could learn to spruce up my blog! It was fun. I felt like it was a puzzle I was putting together! Sadly over the past year it's just not fun anymore. I want to thank all my followers. Honestly I am blown away by how many people follow this blog even though its been so neglected. Thank You!!<br /><br />As for now, I probably won't be writing posts here but I will keep it in tact so people can use the tutorials. I am so happy I have been able to help so many learn to tweak their own blogs! If you would like to keep up with me, please feel free to follow my <a href="http://shaemata.blogspot.com">personal blog</a>! And again Thank you!! <br /><br /><center><a href="http://shaemata.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SgXWUOva50I/AAAAAAAABpg/PAA5MydFMc8/s1600/FF%2BGrab%2BButton.png" /></a></center>Jenieshellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02750535316710428331noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4479029547492908581.post-89179511338982189332010-04-13T19:53:00.000-07:002010-04-13T20:10:38.774-07:00200 Followers!!I just realized I have 200 followers on this blog!! WOW!!!! Honestly I am in shock because I feel like I've neglected this blog and my readers!! I want to thank all of you for following me. I hope the tutorials have been helpful!! I am constantly getting such positive comments and feedback!! I also realize some of you have asked questions and I apologize if I've not gotten back to you with answers. Blog design has always been something I do for fun and as a hobby. Recently it's just not been something I enjoy. I know in time I'll get back into it and when I do I'll write more tips and tutorials. If there's something you're interested in knowing how to do, let me know and I'll see if I can write up a new tutorial. I can't guarantee I'll have the answers but I will try!<br /><br />Thanks again for taking the time to read and follow this blog!!

I still had my Spring theme up and it's almost Winter! I've also done a couple of blog makeovers for Brandi at <a href="http://www.autumnfawn.net/">Autumnfawn Lane</a> and Rachelle at <a href="http://rachellewrites.blogspot.com/">Rachelle's Writing Spot</a>!

Have you seen blogs that are snowing? If not pay close attention to this one and my <a href="http://shaemata.blogspot.com/">personal blog</a> too!! It's such a fun little embellishment that's not too overwhelming!! It's also perfect for the Christmas season!!<br /><br />I am going to send you over to <a href="http://www.bloggerbuster.com/2008/12/simple-snow-effect-widget-for-blogger.html">Blogger Buster</a> because they have a great tutorial and all you have to do is click on the button that says: (make sure you're signed into blogger)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Add Snow Effect to your Blogger Blog</span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br />It will add the snow effect widget to your blog!!

I use Photoshop to create mine. I know there are other programs, such as Microsoft paint. You'll want the image to be about 100x50 pixels. The size can vary it's really up to you and what you want. You can also add a cute image like I did here!</li></ul><ul><li>Next you'll need to up load the image to the internet. You can do this by using Photobucket, Flickr, Picasa or you can do as I did, and put it in a post right here on blogger! You will need to copy the URL address of the image and paste it into the code below.<br /></li></ul><ul><li>Now you will need to copy the following code:</li></ul><span style="font-size:130%;"><img src="</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >INSERT IMAGE URL ADDRESS HERE</span><span style="font-size:130%;">"/style='border: none; backgroun</span><span style="font-size:130%;">d: transparent;'></span><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><style> <!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> <ul><li>Now you will need to go into your layout page and click on Settings.<br /></li></ul><p class="MsoNormal"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SncdtJ_fbQI/AAAAAAAACAE/BItViw00ZJA/s1600-h/Settings.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 118px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SncdtJ_fbQI/AAAAAAAACAE/BItViw00ZJA/s200/Settings.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365790142648773890" border="0" /></a></p><ul><li>Once in Settings click on Formatting:</li></ul><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/Sncgyu6nqtI/AAAAAAAACAc/__rkhk6gQqo/s1600-h/Formatting.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 108px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/Sncgyu6nqtI/AAAAAAAACAc/__rkhk6gQqo/s200/Formatting.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365793536994683602" border="0" /></a><ul><li>Scroll down to Post Template and paste the code from above in the box and click the Save Setting button.<br /></li></ul><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SnceoWeT1JI/AAAAAAAACAU/w772_FTIIWM/s1600-h/Code.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 89px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SnceoWeT1JI/AAAAAAAACAU/w772_FTIIWM/s200/Code.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365791159611544722" border="0" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">(To enlarge images click on the pictures)</span></span><br /></div><br /><ul><li>Enjoy your new post signature!</li></ul>FYI: Your signature will not appear on previous posts.

I am writing to let my wonderful readers and fellow blog buddies know these past few weeks I've been under the weather and I've not been able to keep up with all the emails and comments I have received on this blog. I have recently received several emails and comments on how to tweak blogs but I just don't have the energy to respond to each of your questions right now. I apologize for not being able to help you with your specific blogging needs . Please know I read all your comments and emails. I would ask you to refer to my tutorial section as I have lots of tips and hints there. Hopefully I'll be back to feeling like my normal self and can help with your blogging questions soon! I wish you the best of luck and please send me links to your blogs so I can see what you are doing and the success you have made!! <div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Happy blog tweaking to all and thanks for understanding!!</div>Jenieshellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02750535316710428331noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4479029547492908581.post-65193746191389328162009-06-06T21:12:00.001-07:002009-06-06T21:54:11.116-07:00Navigation Bar ImagesThis tutorial is to be use AFTER you know how to create a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">navigation</span> bar! If you don't know how to create a Navigation bar please click <a href="http://jenieshell.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-to-make-navigation-bar-for-blogger.html">here</a>!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SitFnAAKcOI/AAAAAAAAB2o/XuC5tUx2DPA/s1600-h/Navigation+Bar.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 48px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SitFnAAKcOI/AAAAAAAAB2o/XuC5tUx2DPA/s400/Navigation+Bar.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344441919123124450" border="0" /></a><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Ok</span>, now that you know how to create a Navigation Bar let me explain how to add images<span style="font-size:85%;">*</span> to your navigation bar instead just using text, similar to the one above! Each navigation link such as About me, Blog Roll etc were each different images. So for the above <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">navigation</span> bar I had to create four different images, one for each link!<br /><br />Remember the HTML code you added in a widget under your header? That's what you are going to tweak in order to have an image for your link instead just text. Your current code in your widget should look something like this:<br /><br /><p class="western"><span style="font-size:78%;">&<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">lt</span>;div

I thought the easiest way to help my blogging buddies would be to <span style="font-style: italic;">try</span> to write a tutorial! I say the word <span style="font-style: italic;">try</span> because honestly it's a little tricky and I am still figuring out the kinks!! In fact recently, while changing the look of my personal blog, I kept getting stuck while installing the navigation bar. It kept putting my links and a box and I couldn't figure out how to get rid of that BOX!!! Thankfully after taking a break I finally figured it out!! Hopefully after all my frustrations, it's still fresh in my mind and I can write this tutorial !<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SgcAyNGojSI/AAAAAAAABqg/mHPyd4BrKgM/s1600-h/Bird+on+a+branch+Final.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 187px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SgcAyNGojSI/AAAAAAAABqg/mHPyd4BrKgM/s400/Bird+on+a+branch+Final.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334233146154585378" border="0" /></a><br />This is a picture of my personal blog! Isn't it pretty? You can see my navigation bar directly below the tree branch! This is an example of a navigation bar where I used images for my links! In order to make this tutorial as simple as possible I am going to start by showing you how to create a navigation bar just using text. Similar to the one on this blog!<br /><br />Ok, let's get started and install that navigation bar!! (Hope I haven't scared you off! Honestly it's not too hard!!)<br /><br /><ul><li>Go into your layout page and click on edit HTML.<span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></li></ul><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">It's a</span></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">lways a good idea to download a copy of your te</span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:78%;">mpla</span></span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:78%;">te before changing your HTML</span>.</span></span><br /></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SgcFBmuy9CI/AAAAAAAABqo/P2IZHNdcvBo/s1600-h/Edit+HTML+copy.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 147px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SgcFBmuy9CI/AAAAAAAABqo/P2IZHNdcvBo/s400/Edit+HTML+copy.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334237808778474530" border="0" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />I also recommen</span></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">d clicking on preview </span></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">before saving your ne</span></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">wly e</span></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">dite</span></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">d template!!!!</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SgcFucebjaI/AAAAAAAABqw/mIOvvFx4H30/s1600-h/Preview.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 66px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SgcFucebjaI/AAAAAAAABqw/mIOvvFx4H30/s400/Preview.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334238579119590818" border="0" /></a><br />You will need to look for the html code that needs to be edited.

Well, I too ran into that problem when working on a blog makeover. Honestly I am not sure exactly what was causing the problem. I had to remove the widget and reinstall the code. It seemed to work! I am sorry I don't have a technical answer, I'd just say if you still running into this problem. Remove the widget and start again! If I figure out why it's doing this I'll let you know!!</span><br /><br />-----------Original Post----------------<br /><br />I recently learned how to create a widget where all my favorite blog buttons can scroll through a smaller space on my sidebar therefore making it look less cluttered!<br /><br />They scroll like this:<br /><br /><center><div class="textwidget"><marquee direction="up" onmouseover="this.stop()" scrollamount="5" onmouseout="this.start()" align="center" width="200" height="250"><center><a href="http://jenieshell.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SdAKU8aJb_I/AAAAAAAABjE/NVEWE97gJFg/s1600/Jenieshell%2BButton.png" /></a></center><br /><center><a href="http://shaemata.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UZ_9rorSnNA/SV0uWRJUNII/AAAAAAAADtQ/DD7pfxr58ag/s1600/FF%2Blime%2BGrab%2BButton%2Bcopy.jpg" /></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /></marquee></div><br /><br /><br /><br />Here's a how YOU can make your blog buttons SCROLL too!!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">1.

Add the following code in the text box:<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><center><div class="textwidget"><marquee direction="up" width="</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">200</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">" onmouseover="this.stop()" scrollamount="</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0); font-weight: bold;">5</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">" onmouseout="this.start()" height="</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">400</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">" align="center"></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"> THIS IS WHERE YOU ADD THE HTML CODES FOR YOUR FAVORITE BUTTONS!</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"> (You can add as many as you like!)</span> </span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></marquee></div></span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">The colors in red can be adjusted to fit the space on your sidebars.<br /><br />The number 5 in yellow adjusts the speed of how quickly the buttons will scroll! The higher the number the faster they will GO!<br /><br />4. Click save and Viola!!<br /><br />Enjoy your scrolling buttons and a lot less clutter on your blog!<br /></div></div></center>Jenieshellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02750535316710428331noreply@blogger.com62tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4479029547492908581.post-14928666907729239822009-04-05T17:36:00.000-07:002009-04-05T17:43:24.591-07:00JDC goes Springy!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SdlPQ0aCBYI/AAAAAAAABko/LIslU4H7n_Q/s1600-h/JDC+Spring2+copy.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 70px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SdlPQ0aCBYI/AAAAAAAABko/LIslU4H7n_Q/s200/JDC+Spring2+copy.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321371585079281026" border="0" /></a><br />As I mentioned last week I've been working on a new look for this site!!

If you're wondering what a favicon is, let me explain! It's the graphic next the url address in address box! You know this......<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SWldhktabcI/AAAAAAAAAy4/XYDbHdHbh_s/s1600-h/Untitled-3.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 575px; height: 73px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SWldhktabcI/AAAAAAAAAy4/XYDbHdHbh_s/s400/Untitled-3.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289862068694576578" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Click picture for better viewing.</span></span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">It's actually quite easy to change the blogger image to one that is unique and fits your blog. Here's a step by step tutorial on how to do it!<br /></div></div><br />1. You need an image that ranges from 16 x 16 to 32 x 32 pixels in size. You can create this on Photoshop and then resize the image. When saving it to your hard drive save it as PNG file.<br /><br />2. Once you have an image, upload it to the internet. You can use Photobucket, Flickr or you can even publish it in a post on your blogger blog!! (You'll need to get the url address once it's been uploaded.)<br /><br />3. Now you are ready to change the favicon. You will need go into your layout page and click on Edit HTML. Scroll down just a bit (It's pretty close to top) and look for this code:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><title</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">><</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">data:blog.pagetitle/</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">/title</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">></span><br /></div><br />Once you locate the code you will REPLACE it with this code:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"><link href='<span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">URL of your image</span>' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/></span></span></span></span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">(You will need to add the URL address for your image inside this code where is says, <span style="font-style: italic;">URL of your image,</span> in black)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">4. Now you are ready to PREVIEW your page, to see if the favicon has been changed! If it is has successfully changed go ahead and click on save!<br /><br />Enjoy!!<br /></div></div>Jenieshellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02750535316710428331noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4479029547492908581.post-3414483761936389312009-01-03T13:41:00.000-08:002009-01-03T14:49:52.153-08:00How to add authors to your Blogger blog.Did you know more than one person can be an author on a blog? My sister and I recently started a blog together and I realized it's pretty easy to have more than one author! Here's a tutorial on how to add an author to your blog.<br /><br />1. Log into your blogger account.<br /><br />2. Click on the layout or customize.<br /><br />3. Next click on the Settings Tab.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SV_k18obaPI/AAAAAAAAAxg/sCgaor4qJNg/s1600-h/Settings.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 166px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SV_k18obaPI/AAAAAAAAAxg/sCgaor4qJNg/s400/Settings.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287196103016147186" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">*Click on images for a better view</span></span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">4. Once in <span style="font-style: italic;">Settings</span>, click on <span style="font-style: italic;">Permissions</span>.<br /></div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SV_lChM3ciI/AAAAAAAAAxo/kPScf5kw3oo/s1600-h/Permissions.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 163px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SV_lChM3ciI/AAAAAAAAAxo/kPScf5kw3oo/s400/Permissions.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287196318991086114" border="0" /></a><br />5. There you will be able to add an author by entering a gmail address. (The other person MUST have a google account.)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SV_lZJxdwTI/AAAAAAAAAxw/y13oAiDX2Uc/s1600-h/Addo+Authors.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 102px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SV_lZJxdwTI/AAAAAAAAAxw/y13oAiDX2Uc/s400/Addo+Authors.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287196707839131954" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SV_qW0HfaRI/AAAAAAAAAyQ/60B0QWy2i-c/s1600-h/Enter+email+address.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 139px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SV_qW0HfaRI/AAAAAAAAAyQ/60B0QWy2i-c/s400/Enter+email+address.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287202165224335634" border="0" /></a>6. Now the new author must accept the invitation to be an author by logging into their gmail account.<br /><br />Now there will be more than one contributor to your blog!!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Granting Administrator Privileges: </span><br />(This allows the new author to edit or change the template code)<br /><br />If you need or want to grant your new author administrative privileges simply go back to the <span style="font-style: italic;">Permission</span> section, after new author has accepted invitation<span style="font-style: italic;">, </span>and click on "grant admin privileges."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SV_oyquTszI/AAAAAAAAAyI/8g6_QzfcZb4/s1600-h/Grant+Privileges.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 107px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SV_oyquTszI/AAAAAAAAAyI/8g6_QzfcZb4/s400/Grant+Privileges.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287200444715873074" border="0" /></a><br />And if for what ever reason an author needs to be removed all you have to do is click "remove" under the <span style="font-style: italic;">Permission</span> Section.<br /><br />Hope this tutorial has been helpful!Jenieshellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02750535316710428331noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4479029547492908581.post-77762976726240103432009-01-01T20:02:00.001-08:002009-01-10T22:16:07.917-08:00New JDC Header<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SV2V2gded8I/AAAAAAAAAwM/a-1db49HLa4/s1600-h/JDC+Birdie+2.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 196px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SV2V2gded8I/AAAAAAAAAwM/a-1db49HLa4/s400/JDC+Birdie+2.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286546301261871042" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SV2SArrEuYI/AAAAAAAAAvU/dcL25npOt6A/s1600-h/JDC+Green+and+pink+Birdie.jpg"><br /></a>Jenieshellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02750535316710428331noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4479029547492908581.post-60610338135096355822008-12-14T08:25:00.000-08:002008-12-14T08:31:46.876-08:00Another Holiday Look!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SUU0sBkv_4I/AAAAAAAAAus/bYPlyXLM0PQ/s1600-h/Pink+Christmas+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 133px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TkBMigkv8rw/SUU0sBkv_4I/AAAAAAAAAus/bYPlyXLM0PQ/s400/Pink+Christmas+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279684069103239042" border="0" /></a><br />My <a href="http://shaemata.blogspot.com">personal blog</a> had another makeover yesterday and it even matches this blog! It took a lot longer than I am proud to admit but now that it's all complete I am extremely happy with it!! Instead of working on the template here like I normally do, I just tweaked it there! I am realizing that's a lot easier than having to reinstall all my widgets when installing the new template. I wanted to document the makeover here! So go check it out and let me know what you think!Jenieshellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02750535316710428331noreply@blogger.com1
