[threeolivemartini]

Ok guys so I did it .. I started a Blog.. its all you chatters fault from last night.. you have created a monster.. i am gonna be asking every one questions... its gonna get crazy.. you all will start avoiding me like the plague.. it will be like

"ohhh run for your life there is that ThreeOlive girl.. i know is gonna ask some silly question.. how do i put a pic up ...how do i change the font.. where do i go to get this .. how do i do that"

you all are gonna get so tired of answering my questions you will be sad you asked me to do this LOL... ok well maybe not because i plan to be ultra amusing.. LOL

the very first think i want to learn is how i make i little link by making my word a different colour.. .....

Have fun with it, Elizabeth! You'll find a lot of great answers to many, many questions in Blogger Help (http://help.blogger.com/) and also here at Crochetville in the Crochetville FAQs and Tips (http://p084.ezboard.com/fcrochetvillefrm47) forum and by combing through the forum we're in here, Blogs and Buttons (http://p084.ezboard.com/fcrochetvillefrm49). Another good reference that people like is Lissa Explains it All (http://www.lissaexplains.com/), which is meant for kids but has been very useful to a lot of new bloggers around here.

[threeolivemartini]

*muttering*

still need to figure out how to make it work LOL

Try it, I lived with this site for weeks until I figured it out. :bounce

[threeolivemartini]

thanks julie.. will go do that this evening when i have had enough of this yarn LOL

[threeolivemartini]

lets see if i can do this ....



<a href="http://threeolivemartini.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v442/threeolivemartini/mybutton.gif" border="0"></a>

[threeolivemartini]

OMG IT WORKED .....so i guess the next question is .. is there a short cut to tagging it to every thing... i can jsut add that code to my signature space here yes ? is that how it works ?

[threeolivemartini]

ok gonna see if the signature idea i had worked.. i feel so SMART...just checked...didnt work man..hmmmmmm ok not likign this......mutter mutter

[threeolivemartini]

i give up.. that is what i get for feeling smart LOL

[Julie]

:)) Not sure what you were aiming toward, but the button was there just fine. You can put that in the signature box on your profile, just make sure you have html marked instead of ezCodes. Could that be the problem? :thinking2

[threeolivemartini]

yeah the button worked because i put it there..
but when i try to do it in my signature.. it wont let me click the html option.. what gives with that ?

[Julie]

There is a reason the HTML radio button doesn't work, but I am not able to remember what it is this morning. I can tell you how to get around it though. <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif" />

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v442/threeolivemartini/mybutton.gif

Copy that and paste it into your signature window. BE SURE ezCodes is selected. It should work. <img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/fin.gif" />

[threeolivemartini]

Julie..

thanks for putting up with me... i did that lets see if it works !

[threeolivemartini]

[Donna]

Woo hoo! Thanks for helping, Julie! :cheer2 :)h

[Donna]

[threeolivemartini]

[Julie]

Goodie, Elizabeth, I'm glad it worked. <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/clap.gif" /> Once you start adding stuff to your blog, it's impossible to stop. <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/nahnahbooboo.gif" /> Have fun!

[Donna]

[Donna]

Beth, I saw your post in another thread. Still having troubles with getting the button on your sidebar? Did this info (http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=110&query=edit%20template&topic=&type=f) from Blogger not help?

[threeolivemartini]

at the point i got to that.. i was so frustrated.. and confused.. gonna try it later tonight when i get tired of yarn .. this mohair shawl is making me crazy LOL...

[Donna]

I do understand! Good luck with both the button and the shawl!

[threeolivemartini]

ok can i get a **** YEAH !!

i figured out the button thing thanks to Kari

and then i figured out how to make that column instead of side by sdie all by myself *beams*

now of course i think i am a genius but that is just for the day til i try yet another new thing and get humbled quickly LOL


btw.. the shawl turned out great .. and she LOVED It .. even paid me more than i asked.. how is that for great??

[Julie]
