A bit of jazz in blog, however, falls tremendously short of being a musical

Another template HARAKIRI

I don't end fiddling with template mrgreen. I have again made changes by replacing my earlier smileys to new ones (courtesy: greasemonkey scripts), putting a list of recent comments to my sidebar and by using peek a boo comments.

I don't use too many smileys; but I thgt, hell!! no harm in having them in my template and I am satisfied with type of addition cause they are small.biggrin

I was looking for a list of recent comments to be displayed on my sidebar like I had seen in some wordpress templates. I found some neat hacks in blogfresh and followed it with a bit of customization for my hover menu bar. It was working.

However, when it was time to get a show/hide comments thing(so that one doesn't have to navigate away from the page to read the comments), I ended up spending a lot of time. Finally, i got my rescuer in the blogger help. Lolz, I didn't know it was called peek a boo comments. Its neat and the comments are displayed instantly without having to wait for another page to download.
Meanwhile, I switched from old blogger to blogger beta and I had a tough time. 1st, it took a lot of time to transfer my blogs. 2ndly, for a few minutes it seemed I had lost a few code changes I had made cry.

Thankfully, everythng is fine now. The beta one loads faster so it would tempt me to fiddle with the template further and check the previews fast lol.

Oye, I have changed the background and got dotted borders too (in case u didn't notice).

[update] 23/12/2006 : Modified the comments section. Added colored comment boxes(It's easy just define a class with ur choice of colors and and fix the comment codes within that class.)

tried lightbox. added a searchbox. have a pop-up comment box now.
