Christmas design

This is not my design. But when I tried this earlier it didn`t work. So I am trying again.. lets see...

Yes it works now.. but i had to change from non-repeat to repeat.

Better using the code:

body {background-image:url(picture url);

background-position: center;

background-repeat: repeat;

background-attachment: fixed;

margin:0;color:$textcolor;

Changing again.

Still don`t like the catblog background. Trying this one.

Changing the design on the catblog

Hoping it will work at kattene på Møvik

But I was not pleased with this one. So i will make a new in a few days..

I have learned something new today. In the url for the picture. Just avter where it says 1600. remove the -h This fixes the problem!
Advice from Anne at Moseplassen. Great blog for blogfixing and other stuff.

Tesing background design again

I want the pattern in the background to crawl onto the posting block.. but I don`t know how to do this, so now i am testing out some new techniques..

So i finally found out. That i would have to use a white field in the middle of the page. Than make shadows on the brushes. ( Dark brushes in its own layer ) .
The white field has to be wider than the blogpage. My blogpage is 900 pixels wide.
Here my background is 1300 pixels wide. Fixed.
I have quite a wide screen on my computer. Most people have now. But I can see on the other two computers we have here, that has "shorter"screens, that the background dissapears completely. But if I make it narrower, it will leave an empty space on wide screens.

So i decided to colour the blogpostingbackground white. So if you are viewing this on a narrow screen, you will only see white background. Better than the pattern interfeering with the text.
The result of the pink background can be seen on my other blog HERE

I made the dark brush strokes with a pattern brush ( photoshop, but same can be used in Gimp ) than a drop down shadow and a gradient overlay. Smooth transparent and pink.

Testing mobile blogging!! I think I finally found out how it works!!

send an email, or mms via youre mobile phone to go@blogger.com with the word REGISTER

than wait.. I got an email not a mms or text message back.

There is a code word, enter it on the www.go.blogger.com page and the crypted word. Choose wich blog to send it to. Wait agian.

Than try to send an mms with a photo maybe as I have done here. to go@blogger.com and wait for the confirmationmail.

Cool...

I found out that far on the end of my "dashboard" page, by cliccking on my email adresse under the mobilblogger settings, I could change the settings, to wich blog I want to send it to.

Confusing? Yes...

Gimp Brushes

I am getting more and more used to Gimp now. Must say that Photoshop is easier for me. But Gimp is not bad.
I have downloaded some brushes from Hawksmont Universe that I have used in my headings and backgrounds. Here is a little sample of some of them.I cant wait to try out some of the hearts as well. Thanks!!
