I have a cool new guide up if you’re interested in installing a random post button on your Blogger site. You’ve seen a similar function on regular websites, now you can have one on your blog. The credit for the Javascript goes to way2blogging, the rest of the setup was figured out by me. Other guides I have seen shows you how to put it in your sidebar and with more than one post, usually a list or random posts. This button just brings up one random post which is read from your site feed. Easy browsing for your visitors in an easy to see and click location.

If you want to see how it works, you can check it out at my website Laff Away, the button is just above the posts on every page.

You can check out the guide here: Add A Cool Random Post Button Above Your Blogger Posts Enjoy!

I just put up a new help page on rounding off corners using only css. It’s supported in almost every browser except for Internet Explorer (of course) and pops out very easy to use code that works perfect every time!

I’ve put up two new guides for Blogger XML skins. One is for making an easy backup copy of your source code for restoring your widgets after installing a new template.

I’ve put up a brand new Blogger XML skin today. It’s called Desert Sunrise and it’s a fluid width, meaning it expands in width according to the viewers screen width.
