DESIGN CONCEPTS
Monday, 11 February 2008


Sometimes all we need is a big first letter for a paragraph. No drop cap, just a big cap. It looks best when followed by way too much text.


While creating a post in Post editor the tool bar in the top frame gives icons to format your text as bold, italic etc. However if you do not have this toolbar use the following HTML codes in Edit Html tab of Post Editor :

To Make text Bold : BOLD

To make it Strong use :
TEXT


To make it Big use :
TEXT


To make it Small use :
TEXT


To Emphasize text use :
TEXT


To make it Italic : ITALIC

To make it Underlined : Underline

For a Strikeout effect : Strikeout You can also use since has been deprecated.

For a line on top of your text : Overline

To Superscript Text : Superscript

To Subscript Text : Subscript

To change font colour : Colored Text

Instead of "COLOR" you can also input the exact hex number of the colour you want. To get the hex number if colors go here.

To Highlight text or give it a background color : TEXT

Replace "COLOR" with the name of the color like "RED" "YELLOW" etc.

To change font size : TEXT

Put in a "NUMBER" from 1 to 7.

To change the font : TEXT

For font face NAME choose from : Arial, Arial Black, Comic Sans MS, Courier New, Georgia, Impact, Times New Roman, Trebuchet MS, Verdana. Remember to choose a universally available font face or your viewer will not be able to see it.


To give a heading to your text :

TEXT


Choose from H1 to H5. You can use this to create sub headings by using H1, H2, H3, etc... in sequence.

For Preformatted text useful in displaying poetry use :


POETRY


For example :


There once was a man from Aruba,Whose favorite hobby was scuba.Every day he would wish,He could spear a big fish.But settled instead for canned tuna.


To show the meaning of a word when you hover the mouse over it use the 'title' attribute like this :

RC

This will look like this :

RC

Hover your mouse over 'RC' to see the effect.



SA

This will look like this :


SA

Hover your mouse over 'SA' to see the effect. It works in Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7.






INDENT PARAGRAPH

To INDENT TEXT at start of a paragraph insert this styling code :

p {text-indent: 1cm;}

immediately before this :

]]>

tag in your template. Login at Blogger.com and click on Layout link on Dashboard. Then click Edit Html subtab of Template tab. In Template code box scroll down till you locate the skin tag. It is about halfway down the code box.


Then when you are creating a post and starting a paragraph in the Post editor put this code in Edit Html tab :


PARAGRAPH



Replace 'PARAGRAPH' with your own text paragraph. You can also use this code in Edit Html tab of Post Editor immediately before starting a paragraph :

PARAGRAPH



and close it as shown above after the PARAGRAPH. For example :


Maecenas id justo. Proin ut elit. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; Sed tellus odio, aliquet vel, rhoncus nec, aliquet faucibus, magna. Phasellus tellus sem, aliquet aliquet, pellentesque sed, facilisis nec, tellus











As you can see the word 'Maecenas' is indented in the above paragraph.




DROP CAPS

You can also use Drop Caps at the start of your paragraph like this :



Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Pellentesque lobortis, turpis ut facilisis convallis, nulla sem feugiat tellus, in tempus mauris urna non lacus. Duis pellentesque. Cras tempor iaculis lacus. In pharetra elementum purus. Ut odio lectus, pharetra eu, luctus ut, fringilla eget, neque. Ut et augue ac magna gravida varius. Suspendisse at odio.




OR you can use big first letter at the beginning of your paragraph like this :



Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Pellentesque lobortis, turpis ut facilisis convallis, nulla sem feugiat tellus, in tempus mauris urna non lacus. Duis pellentesque. Cras tempor iaculis lacus. In pharetra elementum purus. Ut odio lectus, pharetra eu, luctus ut, fringilla eget, neque. Ut et augue ac magna gravida varius. Suspendisse at odio.



For the code to implement the above go here.

The above code will produce the following effect :

* SCROLLAMOUNT: how far to jump
