Hadn't changed my blog for a while now(not that I am very willing to change). As the exams got over and no sports for a while.. I had the time to fiddle with it. 1st Thing I looked at, was the complaint of those long posts, I am addicted to. So... what I did was using the "read more" thing, which we see in the newspapers. Then I saw that in Franky's blog and then Slim's. I was looking for javascript and CSS .. but I dunked the javascript (avoid it as long as possible), and got some simple solutions in blogger help. Then, I customized it to use it only for my long posts. I love it when its done with simple codes.
Then, I was looking to get that hoverbox for comments about any links on the page and I stumbled upon the idea of having hover menu box. I tried and yay!!! got it.Check my vertical hover menu box on the right; for Archive, Blogrolls and previous posts. Again I have avoided the use of javascript. But yeah javascript can be handy.
I will modify it further and need to fix it for other browsers.
lolz.. These CSS, javascript shit is easy .. I guess, they need professionals only coz u need some1 else to devote time :).

Hey, good job! It looks good man. CSS can come in handy, but the problem is the cross browser compatibility. It sucks. All browsers don't handle CSS and Javascript the same. But JS can come in real handy, especially these days, because most browsers support it, and for the most part, handle it pretty much the same way. It would be easier to add a noscript tag and add the line "fuck off and go somewhere else because you don't have javascript enabled, pussy face." LOL. Some people can get real edgy having Javascript enabled.
ReplyDeleteyup, true slimo.. I was worried about cross browser thingy.. but checked in IE7 looks alrite so not going to fix the code.
ReplyDeleteYup I know the JS gives so much facility to add features one is tempted too.. .. New browsers are coming with JS compatibility. I avoid JS as long as same thng can be done by HTML :P or CSS.
y'know, ur links might come handy with some organisational tangles I'm trying to unsnag in my account...I'll keep u posted...
ReplyDeleteyeah sure .. always there trigger, while u keep me posted dont forget the pay check for every help ...
ReplyDelete:D
That CSS thingy looks nice.It could look better if it was blue..it'd match the template :P
ReplyDeleteOkay,just kidding.It's awesome!
@ Jay:
ReplyDeleteYeah, you're right. It is better to stick to simplicity as much as possible to keep the browser compatibility. Oh, and that green pinstripe background is an eyesore lol. Take it off :P
Yeah i know Ish .. would wanted to do that exactly but had already spent lot of time and thgt wd do it later .. aur wo kal fir nahin aaya ..
ReplyDeletelaziness.
Slimo... Come on that pink strip thng is cool :). tho i was thinking of getting the strips in a different shade.
