CPU stuff: Marquees

welcome to Splattermix, the site in which random things are splattered everywhere and mixed together.  You may notice that the words above are scrolling.
You, too, can make this happen. Marquees.
Simply copy the code below:
<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" scrollamount="1">TEXT HERE</marquee>
and insert that code in the HTML tab of your blogger post.
By tuning it a little (changing the red text), you can turn marquees into many different things.
The "behavior" part can be either alternate or scroll or slide.
The "direction" part can be either up, down, left, or right.
The "scrollamount" part can be any number at all! 1 is the slowest, infinity is the fastest.
And, of course, you can input any text you want in the TEXT HERE part.
Images can be marquee'd too.

See the image of a dragon above.
It is being marquee'd.
How?
In the HTML tab, do as you would for text marquees.
But instead of text, put in an image by the add image button on the bar.
It should look something like this (though not exactly):

&lt;marquee&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://website-name.com" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="65" src="http://website-name.com" width="53" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/marquee&gt;


Have fun with marquees!

CPU stuff: Glow

Spice up your blog!
Hello! This is called a shadow, or a glow. It might be also called a popout, though, if used correctly.

You can also make this happen.
In the HTML tab, copy & paste:

<span style="text-shadow: COLOR 1px 1px 1px">Text here</span>


Boldened green is changeable, red must be constant.

The 1 px by 1 px by 1 px thing is how big your shadow is.

So you can also make a glowing/shadow marquee, too, using the marquee thingies I posted above.
