Confession in WWW times

Copyright: Stan Eales. You can send E-greeting cards with cartoons at Cartoonstock.com. They have numerous great pieces. I just sent one to... no, no, no... I fear the priest.

As the priest is myopic I can confess that I sent one for my greatest enemy.

How to remove the borders of pictures at Blogger

Sometimes taking the borders of the images creates a very interesting atmosphere and it is very easy to get rid of them.
At the "edit html" add the code style="border:none;""display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" 
You must do it before writing or adding other images at the post otherwise you can lose the edition of the whole post. It took a while to figure out why I was not doing it correctly.
You can find at this blog done by Peter Enviroment lots of answers for some Blogger problems. Have a great week!

Saturday: Awards extravaganza

Take a look at this search to see the blog awards created till now. I believe that one day there will a a blog award, these created by bloggers not the officials, museum since they are part of blogosphere culture.

Wow! That was so unexpected. Maznah at Cooking Varieties gave me these six awards. They are all so colorful and beautiful! I'm very happy and honored receiving them. This is the second time this week Maznah passed me an award.
We all know that there are people who loves the awards and people who don't.
I want to give these to those who like so I will search for blogs that have awards at their pages for it indicates that they like them.
I'll try to do it today. I'm accepting indications, so please, if you want one of the awards or know a friend of yours who likes receiving these images created with the intention of uniting people tell me. I always ask myself who created the award.
I have already a list but I want to publish them all together.
Rules:
1. Accept the award, post it in your blog with the link of the person who has given you.
2. Pass it on to 15 bloggers to keep the ball rolling.
3. Let the nominated bloggers know about their award by leaving a comment on their recent post.
Have a great Saturday!

This is my list:

DB at Vagabond Journeys;

Catatonic Kid at Catatonic Kid;

Cheryl at Wishing and Discovering;

Clinically Clueless at Clinically Clueless;

Herrad at Access Denied;

Kimmie at Pretty Amazing Grace;

Lotosgreen at Japonisme;

Mari at 365 Days;;

Mariane at Anthing goes;

Mark at Psych Survivor 2.0;

Maryt/theteach at Work of the Poet;

Missy at Missyz Stuff;

Sandy Calrson at Writing in Faith;

Tony at Tony's Blog;

Thank you all for inspiring me!
Update: I have to delete one blog at the list because the blogger claims that as she is a journalist, she reports about Ballet, she doesn't want to be in this list and she claims that her "website" is no longer a blog because she got a domain and blogspot directs for her url.
She already "received" a blog from Hella Heaven two years ago.
I only feel sorry for journalists who don't have what as goal the "accountability" that Tim Sebastian talks about at the post below.
So many great journalists doing a great work without receiving money! Some of them even refuses to put advertisements to be totally unbiased. I really thank all the pajamas media for the great work.

Blogger: Infinite scrolling changes blogs readability

I believe that most bloggers are not happy with the format of blogs with templates that only change places, number of columns, and colors.

The main reason is that after scrolling the page the "older posts" gives the impression that what was written before is no longer valid, old news, history and few people click at them. After choosing a new template we always accept that this is the best for the moment but not that happy with the choice no matter how beautiful it is.

If you use Blogger add "/view" to your address. Yes, like this:

http://hellaheaven-ana.blogspot.com/view/sidebar

add "view" to the address. See? I'm enjoying the sidebar option. Finally a better way to read and experience blogs and how quick the posts load! I believe and hope that till the end of this decade we'll see many changes.

I just don't know where are the blog list and widgets but many people don't have a blog list and widgets. I have already noticed that VIP blogs only have their posts and their profiles and sometimes a badge of a very important award. I'll never understand why they need followers for some even don't want comments which makes many people leave quickly even thou they would never leave any comment but without the just in case is too much.

I prefer having a huge blog list of people I admire and some widgets that make me remember that I'm not alone while blogging even if a certain criteria will exclude me just by taking a quick look at this features and the fact that I don't draw or write fiction and don't make any creative work surely puts me in a non-OK list. Funny how creativity is only seen by some when there is a product... this is for another post. Did you know that good blogs have only one column in the center and don't occupy the whole page like this template I'm using? This post would be huge!

To give a fancy atmosphere small pictures are ideal. I know the formula to have a fancy and top blog but this one here is the way it is. It follows another recipe.

It would be interesting publishing the same blog in different templates each aiming a certain niche but I don't have time for that.
