Setting up your Profile Page - Colors, Cursors & Flying Butterflies
Setting up your Profile Page
It’s easy (hopefully) – just follow the instructions below !!
1. To make the background of your Profile page a colour of your choice.
Select a colour from the following web-page if you like. On the following web-page, press the Ctrl key and the A key on your keyboard at the same time, to read the names for the whiter colours.
Use the following web-site to test different font colours on different colour backgrounds, for example, my page has some orange text on antique white background.
1. Click on the Edit tab on your page
2. Click on the word Profile
3. Find the block titled “Spiritual lightworker profile”
4. Copy the following BUT change the name of the colour to whatever you like –
<body bgcolor=antiquewhite>
5. Paste the above into the block for “Spiritual Lightworker profile” at the very top or beginning of the Block.
6. Scroll down the page / screen, and click on Submit at the bottom of the screen.
7. You will need to click on View - Account Settings and scroll down to Intro text under User Guestbook and add the same code at the beginning of the block there, if you want the background colour of your Guest Book to be the same. Click Submit after updating your Guest Book background colour.
B. To change the font color of the comments in your Guest Book.
Click on View - Account Settings and scroll down to Intro text under User Guestbook Type in or paste the following code BUT with your color choice, at the very end of the box. You may need to paste the code into the “Spiritual Lightworker profile” box also, at the very end, on the Edit – Profile screen.
<font color=orange>
C. To add a fancy cursor
1. Go to the following website or any other which offers cursor pictures for you to use.
Click on the Category of your choice, and hover mouse over the small box / window with “Free Rabbit Cursor” or whatever underneath it, to see a pic of the cursor. Be patient. Left click in the box/window of your choice, then right click with your mouse, and left click on the word Copy in the pop-up menu.
2. Go to Edit – Profile then to your “Spiritual Lightworker profile” box, and at the top of the box (just below the background color code, if you have code for the background – see point A above), left click in the corner of the box, then right click, then a menu will pop-up, and left click on Paste. This should paste code similar to below, into your “Spiritual Lightworker profile” box.
<style type="text/css">body {cursor: url(http://www.myspacecursor.net/cow/cow2.ani); }</style><br />
<a href="http://www.myspacecursor.net" title="Free Cursors">Free Cursors</a><a href="http://www.freelayoutsnow.com" title="Myspace Layouts">Myspace Layouts</a><a href="http://www.getmyspacecomments.com" title="Myspace Comments">Myspace Comments</a><br />
3. Click Submit at the bottom of the screen.
D. To add floating images, like the Butterfly on my Profile page
1. Dynamic Drive provides a flapping (animated) brown-ish Butterfly for you to use, on the following web-page. Just right click on the Butterfly then left click on “Save Picture As” and Save it to your own computer.
The following web-site has some free animated Gifs to use which are suitable sizes. Look for a small picture of not more than 10 kilobytes (10kb) and which is NOT on a background square or coloured background, i.e. the picture is cut out or in silhouette form, like the Cat in Tree below. You may need to experiment with small animated pictures. Put a note on your Profile that the Cursor pic is from Foxtrotters at the web address below
2. Once you have a picture saved on your computer, upload it to your Light Worker’s “Personal files” storage area (or to your own web-site, if you have one), through the following steps.
1. Click on Personal Files on your Profile page.
2. Click on the Browse button at the bottom of the screen.
3. Click on the picture to be up-loaded.
4. Click on Open.
5. Click on “Upload file” and wait for pic to be uploaded.
6. Write down the File name of the pic – for example, brownbutterfly.gif
3. If you upload your pic to your Light Worker’s “Personal Files” area, then you will have to get the Address (location) for the Picture. You will see it in the Address Bar of your browser. If you don’t know what the Address Bar is, please see the snap-shot on the following page to see what it looks like.
If you have Internet Explorer and can’t see the Address Bar, there are steps for restoring it (or finding it) at the web-page below.
Look at the text in your Address Bar for / at your “Personal Files” page. It will look something like the following :
Open Word or Note-pad or Text-pad. Left click in the Address area of your “Personal Files” page, then right click, move your mouse to Copy and left-click on “Copy”.
P4. Paste the text into Word or Text-pad or Note-pad. Replace the last section, i.e. imce with the name of the file of your animated picture, example below :
'http://lightworkers.org/files/1234/brownbutterfly.gif'
5. Click on the link below to get the Java-script. Right click in the box at Step 1 then left click on “Select All”. Right click then move your mouse to Copy and left-click.
6. GGo to a new Word document, right click, find Paste and left-click on Paste.
7. SScroll down until you see the following part of text.
var floatimages=new Array();
floatimages[0]='butterfly2.gif';
floatimages[1]='butterfly2.gif';
If your pic has a different file name than “butterfly2.gif”, change the name of “butterfly2.gif” to the File name for your chosen pic, e.g. brownbutterfly.gif.
8. The above will give you two floating/moving Butterflies on your page only. If you want more floating things, then just copy the floatimages line as many times as you want floating butterflies (or whatever you have chosen to float), BUT change the numbers in the square brackets, to continue the number sequence. See example below.
var floatimages=new Array();
floatimages[0]='http://lightworkers.org/files/1234/brownbutterfly.gif';
floatimages[1]='http://lightworkers.org/files/1234/brownbutterfly.gif';
floatimages[2]='http://lightworkers.org/files/1234/brownbutterfly.gif';
floatimages[3]='http://lightworkers.org/files/1234/brownbutterfly.gif';
9. Now, all you have to do is go to Edit – Profile of your Light Workers page. High-light all the Javascript (if you are using Microsoft Word, press the Ctrl key and the A key at the same time, to quickly high-select or select ALL text in the document). Right click, then left-click on COPY. Put your cursor at the VERY BOTTOM or END of the “Spiritual Lightworker profile” box for your profile page (scroll down if necessary), then right-click, then hover mouse over PASTE and left-click on PASTE.
10. Scroll down the page/screen and click on Submit.
The End
