Comment Font, Color and Size

Tweet

With the new threaded comments on Blogger, replying to comments is easier and more fun. The comment thread is where the conversation between the author and his readers takes place. And I just thought that it would be pretty cool to have a different font style for the comments.

So with my OCD in overdrive, I finally found a way to do just that.

From this...

... to this.

And if want to do the same, you could follow these simple steps. Before doing any edits on your blog HTML, be sure to backup your template. As this is important, I will say it again.. backup your template.

• On the new Blogger dashboard, go to Template.
• Click Edit HTML.
• Click Expand Widget Template.
• Find this code /* Variable definitions. To do that, click CTRL+F, and paste the code in the search box.
• Paste the following codes just below the dashed lines.

<Variable name="sscommentfont" description="Comment Font" type="font"
default="normal normal 100% 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, Sans-serif" value="normal normal 100% 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, Sans-serif"/>
<Variable name="sscommentcolor" description="Comment Color" type="color" default="#000000" value="#000000"/>

• Find this code /* Comments.
• Paste the following codes under the dashed lines.

.comments .comments-content .comment-content, .ss{
font: $sscommentfont;
color: $sscommentcolor;
}

• Click Save Template.

When you're done, go to your Blogger Template Designer. You will be able to see 2 new entries - Comment Font and Comment Color.

Entries: Comment Font and Comment Color

I'm using the dominant colors in my blog - orange and green. The font is italicized Georgia. But with these new options, I could change  font face, style, size and color of the comments anytime. Do let me know if these colors make the comments hard to read. I will changed it back to grey.. or blue, maybe. No problem there, I've got a lot of choices.

If you're happy with the way the comments look in your blog, then there is no need to edit anything. But if you want to do the changes, just follow the instructions and you'll do fine. Just remember to backup your template first. You will need them, just in case the codes don't work on your blog. Good luck!

A bad dream

Tweet

I had a bad dream last night... When I woke up this morning, I wrote it all down. Every little thing that I can remember..

I was with my high school friends, Iza, Lourdes and Cute. We were on top of a hill. Then suddenly, the ground shook under our feet. Earthquake! We dropped down to the ground. It was a strong one. The land began to have cracks. After a few minutes, it stopped. Then we started to go down the hill, but there were aftershocks. We felt the tremors again. Some people (who magically appeared) were in the state of panic.

Then I just blinked, we were at this building. There were people in white jumpsuits. "You were infected by a virus.", they said. Our eyes were red. They said that we'll know that we're safe when our eyes turn blue. They directed us to a room to get our eyes cleansed. My friends went inside first. I looked around and saw my niece. She came over to me and we looked at a small mirror on the wall. Our eyes were very red. As we approached the room, only my niece was allowed to get inside. The guy said that I should enter another room.

So I went to that other room. A guy began asking me some questions. Then a girl came inside and handed me a piece of paper, saying that its from my friends. It said "We are down. Get help.". I excused myself and went outside. But this guy bound both my hands. He said that I won't be allowed to leave because I'm a threat because I'm a spy! I was escorted to a chamber and there, I found my 3 friends. We were scheduled to be incinerated.

Somehow, we were able to get our hands free. But we're not in a building anymore but inside a spaceship! We have to get out of there but we have to get my niece first. Iza said that the men weren't real men, but aliens and they're making the kids do their evil work by brainwashing them. There was a small crawl space under the floor. There we crawled from one room to another. We saw a locker full of suits. We took the clothes and blended in. Finally, we found my niece but she looked different. She had glowing blue eyes and the creature behind her was grinning and looking at us. I felt chills crawl down my spine!

Then I woke up.

I know. This dream doesn't make any sense at all. From an earthquake to being a spy to brainwashing kids to freaking aliens. It was a scary dream, I tell you. Though I can't remember all the details, I know that it is. My heart was pounding like a drum when I woke up this morning. I don't know what's the meaning of this. But I hope I won't see any aliens, get brainwashed or get incinerated anytime soon. :|

What's your ringtone?

Tweet

At some point in my life, I have used these movie theme songs as my mobile ringtone. It was the "IN" thing. Haha! Yes. Just like a normal teenage girl, I went through that phase.

	Star Wars

	Superman

	Indiana Jones

	Terminator

	James Bond

	The Pink Panther

	Mission Impossible

I have also used these themes from some of my favorite cartoon series.

	Justice League

	Teen Titans

	Kim Possible

	Avatar, The Last Airbender (Main Title)

I'm currently using the default ringtone for my phone. Not a song, not a dance beat, not an electronic voice saying "You have a call!". Just the regular "ring, ring!".

What is your ringtone? ☺
