Completion icons

[kimcbirney]

Hello all,
I've recently gotten more into blogging (after installing & transferring my Blogger site to Movable Type), and would like to join the crochet blogging community :)

Where do y'all get/how do you install those nifty "percent completion" bars for projects that I see on a lot of crocheter pages? They look really cool and I'd like to try them out.

BTW, you can check out my new blog here: www.unc.edu/~shrieves/mt-static/ (http://www.unc.edu/~shrieves/mt-static/)

Thanks, & nice to meet y'all!

Hello! Welcome to Crochetville! <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/welcome.gif" /> We get the percent bars from <a href="http://annamation.ca/annaknits/freeblogstuff.php" target="_new">Anna Knits</a>. There are instructions on how to set them up on the page. <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/veryhappy.gif" />

I like the Ocean ripple afghan you've got on your blog. I made one almost exactly like that, it's a great color to use! I love it! <a href="http://www.julieh.topcities.com/Ocean_Ripple.html" target="_new">My ripple.</a> <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif" />

I've now joined the wielders of the percent bar :) The only odd thing is that I can't get it to have a black border around it, so you can see the percent bar itself, but not the size of the whole container.

I like your Ocean ripple afghan! It does look very similar - that particular yarn is such a beautiful collection of colors.

Again, thanks for the advice,

Katie

not sure what i'm doing wrong, but i can't get the percentage bars to work on my blog???????

Did you download the flash file to your own server? I was using the pnavy account she set up for people to use the percentage bars and noticed it wasn't working anymore. It's a problem with pnavy, so if you download the file and then save it on your webspace the bars will work. I use Earthlink for my email and get a certain amount of free webspace with it and I've saved it on there. If you don't have webspace to use, email me tiffcrochets@earthlink.net (tiffcrochets@earthlink.net) and I'll give you the address to use mine if you'd like.

Hmmm. I'm on blogger.com for my blog and when I tried to put the moving banner up, it said I couldn't do it. :( poo)> Although it could be me that is missing something :shrug

ok.. that explains why my little project buttons weren't working either!! I thought it was a blogger malfunction (either me or the program.. couldn't figure which) but I'm glad its not. I uploaded the flash file like instructed and POOF! there they are again! thanks~!

Oh good! I'm so glad you fixed yours, Mouse! :) I read your post asking for help when I was in a rush and came back tonight to help you if you still needed it. :)
