HELLO (: I'm the newly recruited writer of your number 1 best site for juicy happenings in blogskins.com, ENEX! Okay, so my first post in this website is about CSS. :D I'm sure many of you have already known what's CSS full form, as what our Saturday, June 24, 2006's post have already said.


CSS's long form is actually Cascading Syle Sheets.

<style type="text/css">
That is the starting for the style sheet, it has ALWAYS got to be that way. I don't know why, so don't ask me xD

body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;

Now, the bolded part, aka FFFFFF is actually the coding of the colour white .. If you want the background colour to be white, you got to put it as FFFFFF .. the hex code is optional, but I still suggest you put it there. Next, we add:

body { background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: tahoma;

The bolded part now, is the word TAHOMA. Font family, which means the wide variety of font. To choose what font you want for your page, you can type over there, replacing the word tahoma.. There are different fonts you can choose, not only tahoma. I'll name the few.

Times new roman
Comic sans MS
Verdana
Arial

These are the few fonts that people would use, so stick to these :D .. Next, we add the size :

body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: tahoma;
font-size: 7pt;

Bolded part again, 7pt.. From the name, font-size, you can tell that it's doing with the font size luh. Well, 7pt is the size you're reading now :D Here are the sizes untill 10pt :

8pt
9pt
10pt


It SHOULD be like that, if I'm not wrong x_x.. Next, colour of the font :

body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: tahoma;
font-size: 7pt;
color: 336699;

The colour of that is obviously the one you're seeing right now :D If you want to know more colours, visit this site for a huge list of HTML colours (:

body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: tahoma;
font-size: 7pt;
color: 336699;
line-height:13px;

The one bolded now is named as 13px .. Line height, means whenever you do a
(new line), it determaines how far it would be from the second line. Let's say if you put line-height as 10px, when you do a
it would be very close to the first line, get it? x_X..

body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: tahoma;
font-size: 7pt;
color: 336699;
font-weight: normal;
cursor: crosshair;

Now the bolded is something called CROSSHAIR It's a cursor type, and it's the one you're looking at now. :D Here are the different types of cursor you can use. Hover over them to see what type and what name


crosshair
default
hand
help
move
text
wait
e-resize
ne-resize
n-resize
nw-resize
w-resize
sw-resize
s-resize
se-resize

Now the scrollbars.

scrollbar-face-color: ffffff;
scrollbar-highlight-color:black;
scrollbar-shadow-color: black;
scrollbar-3dlight-color:ffffff;
scrollbar-arrow-color:black;
scrollbar-track-color: ffffff;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: black;
}

This is the scrollbar one, it should come next after those fonts and background :D .. Well, I can't really teach you much here. You just go edit it with colours by consulting the list over here.

.head {
Color: #black;
font-size: 12px;
border-bottom : 2px dashed black;
font-family: tahoma;
letter-spacing:1pt;
text-transform:uppercase;
text-align:left;
font-weight : bold;
background-color : auto-flow;
padding-bottom: 0px;
}

That would be the coding for the HEAD. :D Here's an example of a heading:

Example

Well, this would be an example. You see that border-bottom : 2px dashed blank; thing there? Well, look at the example of my heading, and the dashed thingy below the word Example. That would be the coding for the border-bottom : 2px dashed black; but in a BLACK :D You can change it if you want. There are different types of styles you can use, other than dashed, like Solid (one straight line)
You can change the text-transform to either uppercase, or lowercase :D For the text-align, you can align it as either left, or right or center. font-weight. It can be either italic, or bold, or strike. The background-color is as auto-flow so that the colour would be the same as the background, but you can change to other colour :D

A:link
{ text-decoration: none; color: black; font-weight: normal; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 10px; text-transform: none}
A:visited
{ text-decoration: none; color: black; font-weight: normal; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 10px; text-transform: none}
A:active
{ text-decoration: none; color: black; font-weight: normal; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 10px; text-transform: none;}
A:hover {
font-size : 10px;
color : #white;
text-decoration : none;
text-transform : none;
font-weight : normal;
font-family : tahoma;
cursor : crosshair;
}

Lastly, this is the links. A:link, A:active, let it have the same coding. If you want the link to be in other colour after clicking and visiting, you may change A:visited.
Now, A:hover is the important part around here. If you want it to change to other colour upon hovering on the link, you can change it, if not you can make the text transform, to either uppercase or something :D If you want upon hovering a link and your cursor to change, you may too. (:

After this, you would be done, BUT, remember to add a :



WELL, i'm finally done! So those who are usually not so good in creating your own CSS texts at first, heres some enlightening for you, than! :D

I want to try to spice up this place with a new contest. It seems like blogskinstimes contests are always succesful. So, lets try to make another successful run!

Have you guys heard of Post Secrets?
You can find them here : http://postsecret.blogspot.com/


Each secret can be a regret, hope, funny experience, unseen kindness, fantasy, belief, fear, betrayal, erotic desire, feeling, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything - as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before. (in this case not necessary to be true, since the whole world is going to see it. Myles you can take part too. =) We want to know your dirty secret, don't we? hee)

Use a canvas size of 4-by-6-inch. If you want to share two or more secrets, use multiple entries.

Tips:
Be brief - the fewer words used the better.
Be legible - use big, clear and bold lettering.
Be creative - let the postcard be your canvas.


There will be several catergories of prizes you can win. I am hoping to get real prizes this time. But i need sponsors of course. =)

Catergories include:
most touching, most romantic, most sadistic, most touching, most hilarious.. o_O (i dunno, we will finalise this after we see the number of entries. I want to try to make sure everyone is a winner.)

Method of submission: Post the link of the picture here. Or send it to me and i will host it for you.

This is NOT a skins contest. This Contest is organised to test each of your photoshopping skills.

I am offering a truce to all who might war with me.

I foresee potential problems popping up. Please, i plead to all. I want NO WARS/NO FLAMING/NO USING OF THE SECRET AGAINST THE CREATOR.

heres one i made earlier: http://static.flickr.com/89/211159513_6c59f3a016_o.jpg
(dun try to find my scars, i keep them hidden properly =P)

Another contest brought to you by blogskinstimes.blogspot.com.
