Apart from that wonderful PM I got from Kimba66, my visit to TV.com has not been a pleasant one. My biggest piff is with the big pics on sigs issue. I am not a very tolerant man when it comes to advertising. I do not like marketing, and I do not like commercials, but I bear with them because they are a neccessary part of my miserable life. Although my sig advertises my cryptic riddles, they do not stand out, possibly 9 out of 10 people do not even notice them, and I like to keep it that way. People just do not seem to realise that if they put up annoying images, all, they do is make those images one of the most hateful things in life! And most do not even know how to present their images properly.

For those who do not know this, I will show you now some of the HTML codes that can be used to help your images look more presentable on your blog or on any other place you wish to put them. They are: Vspace="number of verticle spaces between your image and your text" VSPACE sets the vertical space between the image and surrounding text. Hspace="number of horizontal spaces between your image and your text" HSPACE sets the horizontal space between the image and surrounding text.text. Align="left|right|middle|top|texttop|absmiddle|bottom|Absmiddle|baseline" ALIGN sets the alignment of the image relative to the text around it
Note: Some of these commands may not work, I have not tried them all yet Alt="Name of image you wish to display if image does not display" ALT specifies text that should be displayed if the picture is not displayed Here is an example of how this codes may be used: <Img src="http://image.gamespotcdn.com/tv/images/emblems/social_butterfly.gif" align="absmiddle" Alt="Butterfly Emblem"> The text appears in the middle of the image. The result is: The text appears in the middle of the image. Another example of how the codes may be used: <Img src="http://image.gamespotcdn.com/tv/images/emblems/social_butterfly.gif" Vspace="2" Align="right" Alt="This user has great friends"> The image is positioned on the right and lowered. The result is: The image is positioned on the far right and lowered.

I advise those interested to please experiment with them to get a full understanding of their use.

Finally, the banners are back in out profiles. And I've also been awarded the Convivial icon.
This means that the banners in TV.com will soon return...I hope.
I've also been awarded the 'PC Aficionado' icon too.

With the Lunar New Year fast approaching, those who celebrate this auspicious holiday often decorate their homes with the chinese word "Fu" placed upside down. The word means 'Luck' and by placing it upside down, it means that luck will be coming.
The new year (Year of the Dog, 29 Jan 06 ~ 18 Feb 07) will be a good one for those who marry during this period. This is because the coming Chinese New Year has 2 Springs (Spring is always on the 5th of Feb), and that means double happiness. So don't be surprise if you notice lots of Chinese having weddings in 2006.
However for those like me who are born in the Year of the Dog, the coming lunar new year will be an unlucky one, I am told. So if something bad should happen to me, this may be the cause.
Oh yes, regarding your treat, many have asked me how I was able to play music on my blog. That was all thanks to Inuyashadude101 who showed me the code. So be sure to thank him should you decide to use the code. The code is:

<IMG height=1 loop=infinite dynsrc="Put URL of song here" width=1 autostart=true>

An example:

<IMG height=1 loop=1 dynsrc="http://members.home.nl/riannebosman/plolytones/A-Ha-Take_On_Me.mid" width=1 autostart=true>

Well, I finally got my butterfly wings. It's also great that images are finally back.
I can finally add a counter on my blog, this one counts the number of new visitors I get. Cool heh? Now I know how many new people visit my blog. I also get to figure out which of my three profiles is more popular. Too bad banners still can't be viewed though.

 

With the icons issued to all deserving users, I am somewhat disappointed that I did not receive a neighbourly butterfly icon. Apparantly I am short of at least a couple of friends. I don't know what gamespot's criterias are for my correspondents to be qualified as friends, but rest assured that you are to me.:wink:

I've been reading up on HTML codes and I just wanted to try out a few HTML codes here to see if they work. Should TV.com ever re-enable images to be shown on our blogs. Then a visitor counter should/maybe appear here:
It did appear, but I've moved it.

Other HTML codes that I've tried using today:

1. Embed (play sound in blog)*
2. ul, ol and li (Ordered list & unordered list)
3. dl, dt and dd (Definition list)*
4. align=right, align=center (Text alignment)
5. font size=+/-, font face="font_name" (size and font style of text)

*Codes that did not work on this blog.

It's 2006!And time you got something new. If you haven't already realised by now, we can put buttons on our blog. How? You ask? Well, remember the html codes for links and pics? You have to use them both. For example: <a href="Put the link address here"><img src="put button pic address here"></a> another example: <a href="http://www.flamingtext.com/buttons/"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a374/Spyrick/Buttons/ftbutton1.gif"></a> Need a link for button images? The abovementioned link also gives advice on how you can create your own animated button.

Friends, I am currently working on emblems as rewards to those who have solved my riddles. Afterall, most of the riddles aren't easy, and they deserve something. I'm looking for suggestions as to what might be suitable emblems for those who have solved 'more than 5 riddles', 'more than 15 riddles' and 'more than 25 riddles'. So please send me your suggestions.
