Blog Help

Blogging awesomeness takes a lot of work. Blogger and other websites has made it easier, but certain things Blogger can't help you with. I can though. Here is a guide to awesomeness for your blog.

First of all, your blog posts must make sense. I am not your teacher, but I do get annoyed if there are too many spelling mistakes, as would most people. Make sure you spell words right as much as you can and don't make one sentence be as long as a paragraph. If you see a red wiggly line under a word, it is probably spelled wrong. Just right-click on it to see words that might be what you're trying to spell. The only thing is that most usernames, Animal Jam terms and places, codes, and the word "plushie" will come up as wrong. Another thing you have to be careful of in blog posts is repetitiveness. If all your sentences start with "the", or every one of your blog posts sound exactly the same, nobody will want to read it. Try to make your blog posts vary, and one other tip is that you should put more important things first, so people don't have to read the entire post to get to it.

Now for the fun stuff!! If you could say that. These are just cool effects to do on your blog, along with some gadgets that you won't be able to find on the Blogger website.

First, falling objects! I did clovers for St. Patrick's day once, and I will be doing it again for the next holiday. To do this, click here. It will tell you what to do on the page. There is a box to paste the URL of the image in on the page. If http:// shows up in that box, get rid of it. It will mess it up. Copy the code it gives you, go to Layout in the Blogger dashboard, and paste it into an HTML gadget. Drag it under the pages gadget and click save arrangement in the top right corner of the page. Check it out on your blog and you will hopefully have falling objects!!

Next, the Who's Among Us gadget. This is very simple. Click here. Choose the gadget you would like. Copy the code beside it and paste it in an HTML gadget. Save it, move it to where you want it, then save it again from the save arrangement button. You should now have a Who's Among Us gadget on your blog!!

Blog music. I have seen people on other blogs commenting that they don't have enough money to have blog music. Blog music is free, people!! To start, go to wikplayer.com. Open a new tab and go to YouTube on it. Follow the instructions on wikplayer.com, it should go over where to put the code, which is not in an HTML gadget (though I have found that works too, especially if you change your blog look often). Go to Blogger, then Template, then Edit HTML. Click inside the HTML box, then press F and Ctrl at the same time. You might have to click in the HTML box. Type in <body> or <body. If the first one doesn't work then try the second one. Once you've found the <body code, paste the HTML code right underneath it. It should look like this.



It just shouldn't be in a pop-up box like it shows. That is probably an old picture. Hopefully you can click the picture to zoom in.

Making GIFs. First, if you are making a GIF of  the colours of an AJ item you'll need to take screenshots. Make sure to size them all the same or the the smaller images will have to be stretched to fit, leaving your GIF looking messed. This is the same if you're making a GIF of something else from images. Once you have your images, go to  http://picasion.com/

Let me make this straight - I know you don't like rules. I don't either. But I'm sure you don't like being made fun of. So, these are the rules:
No swearing.
No inappropriate comments.
No spamming.

If you are AJ-Offers or a guy from my school, you are not welcome here.
That's it!
So, enjoy the blog!
