We are not here to get a job or to get people to say Oohh you are a genius etc etc. The danger with that is that people's expectations build, and even good writers make slips sometimes. If you happen to post something that won't meet their standards or not to their liking- then here comes an avalanche of criticism.<BR/><BR/>What's with the pressure di'ba? As you said, blogging should be therapeutic.

Unfortunately I cant give you the idea on how to embed the "Read in full article" since you have been using the blogger beta :-( ... The way how you put it in your blog is different (I think!)..

But yeah, most of my posts are a tad longer, and I’m just blessed that I still get a decent traffic despite my lengthy entries. By the way, how did you embed those “Read in full article links?” I went to hackosphere and the instructions on putting those html codes are quite complicated. But yeah, both of your tips are extremely identical. I just could not afford to lose my site that’s why I’m still hesitant to attempt it. =( But I promise that when my DSL services resume, I’ll try the steps on my other site first, then on this one. It’s funny how I’m still html/css-ignorant despite my 3 years here right? I just find it extremely complicated. Thank god blogger went beta, before, the templates are all in html language, and my site is in total disarray. But now, thanks to drag and drop menus, my site looks fairly decent naman. Thank god. =) Hehe. Super thanks for the tips daizuke ha!

Though it’s quite difficult to adhere to that maxim in cyberspace, I guess an ethical and professional blogger would respect the copyrights of other bloggers, and would be decent enough to give due credits to the source. For images, I use the Paint program to append a watermark of my site when I include personal images, and I use the PostScripts (PS) to credit others. I also use links, whenever necessary. =)ruff nurse-du-jourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261639502521526676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12840161.post-55196960817140479922007-08-21T11:21:00.000+08:002007-08-21T11:21:00.000+08:00Hi Ruff!

In my blog, I use CSS to make this possible, together with the features of Blogger.<BR/><BR/>Before you do any changes in your style sheet or HTML template, better save it first in your PC so that you may recover your initial settings if something wrong happens.<BR/><BR/>In your main HTML template, add the following text in between the <head></head> HTML tags (probably just before </head">)<BR/><BR/><style><BR/><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'> <BR/> span.fullpost {display:inline;}<BR/> span.linkfullpost {display:none;}<BR/><b:else/><BR/> span.fullpost {display:none;} <BR/> span.linkfullpost {display:inline;}<BR/></b:if><BR/></style><BR/><BR/>Then in any post that you want to shorten whenever accessed in your main page add<BR/><BR/><span class="fullpost"><BR/><BR/>before the block of text that you want hidden. At the end of this text block, add the close tag </span><BR/><BR/>Then add<BR/><BR/><span class="linkfullpost"><BR/><a href="YOUR POST URL HERE"><BR/>Read more of this post...<BR/></a><BR/></span><BR/><BR/>at the end of your post.<BR/><BR/>Hope this satisfies your #5.

Being an IT grad has given me enough background about html, CSS, javascript stuff though am not really good at it (Poor me!)... Ohhh and going back to your peek-a-boo link, you need a javascript codes for that... Quite hard and confusing to set up esp. for a dumb pip like me.. To have it in your blog, you need to carefully put the codes correctly, one wrong single code and/or character could ruin you blog in a snap...

This post is virtually excruciatingly lengthy. But yeah, long posts could be a bit turn-off (especially when the font size is microscopic and the color contrast is hideous, unsightly, or tastelessly selected), but with a very good, relatable, interesting topic, it could be a remarkable-read too. I guess I have to further polish my summarization skills, or this blog could expand into uncontrollable proportions. And that would be really bad.<BR/><BR/>And about the ads, I am not a huge fan too. If I need to purchase something, I browse directly to Ebay, Amazon or somewhere else. They could be income-generating, but I guess the problem is that the user/blogger does not have the exact control over the content of their ads, hence, most of them are inappropriately placed. I once saw an ad for impotence pills on a site maintained by a lady blogger, and trust me, it is just plain unsightly.<BR/><BR/>Though I’ve encountered just a few, such “Review me” or “Payperpost” ads could be a bit over-the-top too. I don’t think they’re necessary, and I don’t think such ads generate huge incomes too. Though for some bloggers a $5 fee sounds tempting, it is just better not to fall for such traps. In fact, I also know of some sites that review blogs for free, and it’s good to hear that you do too. And your free templates, which are far better than those you have to pay for, are far far worth downloading.<BR/><BR/>No biggie for the “!!!!!” I guess I just violated the “no long posts” rule in this comment, but for you Adam, I guess it’s worth violating.ruff nurse-du-jourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261639502521526676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12840161.post-89362411021711118352007-08-20T11:14:00.000+08:002007-08-20T11:14:00.000+08:00@MARK.
