Pembuatan teks area

Bila kita ingin bertukar link atau banner tentu kita harus punya kode script, teks area ini adalah salah satu yang biasanya dipakai untuk mempermudah apabila kita ingin menempatkan kode script baik link / banner / lainnya
ada beberapa jenis teks area yang bisa kita gunakan.
Sekarang kita akan mencoba membuat beberapa jenis teks area yang bisa kita lakukan...

  • Pembuatan teks area standar / default

<kode script="contohtextarea"><textarea rows="5" cols="25" style="display: inline;" name="txt">Text/Script Anda Disini</textarea></contohtextarea>

rows = tinggi
cols = lebar
Hasilnya akan nampak seperti dibawah ini 




  • Pembuatan text area dengan button / tombol higtlight
Untuk yang ini, adalah memudahkan pengunjung blog anda untuk memberi tanda hightlight


<kode script="contohtextarea"><center><form name="copy"><input value="Klik Tandai" onclick="javascript:this.form.txt.focus();this.form.txt.select();" type="button"/><textarea rows="5" cols="25" style="display: inline;" name="txt">Text/Script Anda Disini</textarea></form></center></contohtextarea>


Keterangan :
rows = tinggi
cols = lebar
Hasilnya akan nampak seperti dibawah ini






  • Pembuatan teks area dengan on click hightligt
Untuk contoh yang ini hampir sama dengan textarea yang ada button hightlighnya, cuma bedanya yg tanpa menggunakan bantuan form.. nah untuk mencobanya silahkan anda klik pada halaman teks area contoh hasil dibawah ini..
 Kode Script



<kode script="contohtextarea"><textarea rows="5" cols="25" style="display: inline;" name="txt" onclick="this.focus();this.select()">Text/Script Anda Disini</textarea></contohtextarea>

Keterangan :
rows = tinggi
cols = lebar
Hasilnya akan nampak seperti dibawah ini


  • Pembuatan text area sensitif hightlight
Untuk teks area yang ini fungsinya hampir sama dengan teks area yang barusan dicontohkan diatas ini, tapi lebih sensitif, maksudnya ketika mouse berada di wilayah teks area walaupun tanpa ngeklik tapi sudah terhightlight sendiri, ni dia contoh codenya..
Kode Script



<kode script="contohtextarea"><textarea rows="5" cols="25" onfocus="this.select()" style="display: inline;" onmouseover="this.focus()" name="txt" onclick="this.focus();this.select()">Text/Script Anda Disini</textarea></contohtextarea>

Keterangan :
rows = tinggi
cols = lebar
Hasilnya akan nampak seperti dibawah ini

Love watching these cute pups all dressed up for Halloween..


Saw the display here..

Pumpkin is a great source of vitamins A and C as well as potassium.
Rather than throwing out the meat and seeds of a carved pumpkin.
Why not cook and eat them.

Comet

Reading this on Yahoo
by Stevie Smith - Oct21 2009, 15:30 Halley's Comet may not be expected to once again
brighten our night skies until 2061

I was excited about seeing ANY comet from our ground.

Threatening Sky

Did you see this last week?
Viewed from Benjamin Shears Bridge.

Just to keep this here,
as a reminder of the frightening weather.
There have been many devastating natural disasters happening round the world lately.

This excellent clip posted by '747TakeMeAway747'
Shows the destruction that happen in the
passed 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami.
Will not be forgotten.
Learn from it.

Especially important when living in or traveling to tsunami prone areas. 

Read this section on 'Tsunami Warning Signs' Awareness of Tsunami Warning Signs is vital when travelling through or living in tsunami prone areas. An earthquake is a natural tsunami warning. If you feel a strong quake, do not stay in a place where you may be exposed to a tsunami. Listen to the radio or television for any information or alerts. If you are subscribed to TsunamiSMS make sure your mobile phone is always switched on and that the ring tone is loud enough to hear, even when you are asleep. If you have not yet taken the precaution to subscribe to TsunamiSMS
Witnesses have reported that an approaching tsunami is sometimes preceded by a noticeable fall or rise in the water level. If you see the ocean receding unusually rapidly or far it's a sign that a big wave may be on its way. Go to high ground immediately or make your way at least five kilometers inland.
Remember that a tsunami is a series of waves and that the first wave may not be the most dangerous. The danger from a tsunami can last for several hours after the arrival of the first wave. A tsunami wave train may come as a series of surges that are five minutes to an hour apart. The cycle may be marked by a repeated retreat and advance of the ocean. Stay out of danger until you hear it is safe.

Awesome Sea Creatures @ Underwater World Singapore



Some awesome sea creatures that I saw and would like to share

Gracie the Dugong Life Story:
In September 1998, baby Gracie was stranded when her mother died in a fishing trap
near Palau Ubin island of Singapore.
Staff of Underwater World Singapore had to rescue her because baby dugongs could not survive on their own without milk and mother care.
They gave her a safe home and became her nanny, her playmate and her friend.

Mermaid legends are believed to have originated from dugongs:
Sailors probably made the mistake because dugongs could stand upright in water and the females appeared to cradle their young like a woman.

I Love you, Spray Paint!



What in the world would I do without spray paint?  I would either be spending a lot more money, or be living with nasty ugly brass, and yellowy old looking wood blinds!

I really wanted to do something about these ugly blinds in our front living area.  I do like blinds for privacy sake, and they are actually in really good condition, and are good quality thick heavy blinds - just an ugly color.  So instead of shelling out $80+ for new blinds, I thought we would give spray painting them a try.  I googled and googled and looked all over my favorite design blogs and couldn't find anyone who had ever spray painted their blinds.  I was concerned that this really wouldn't work out well, but if I figured even if I mess up, I'll have to get new blinds anyway!  So it was worth a shot.




Luckily we have a swing set in the backyard, so we took the blinds off the window and took the swings off of the swingset and hung them there:



Hi Jarrod's feet!

Then commence spray painting:




I chose an espresso satin finish rustoleum paint.  It really worked out well!  I can tell they are spray painted, but whenever I tell people who come over they can't believe it. 

A reminder of the horrible before:




And the refreshing after:



Here are some other quick fixes you can do with spray paint:

Ugly brass door knobs:




Into sleek brushed nickel door knobs




Again, brass knobs:




Brushed Nickel knobs:




Nasty outdated brass cabinet hardware:



Into contemporary brushed nickel harware that pops off the new chocolate finish:



Now I need to tackle some ugly brass light fixtures until we can replace them.  I'm not suggesting that these are great permanent solutions, but we just didn't have the budget to replace things like hardware, blinds and light fixtures and I certainly wasn't going to live with them the way they were!  And since I don't notice how ugly they are anymore, replacing them will come WAY after we finish other major projects.

What have you spray painted?  How did it turn out?  What is your favorite spray paint?

Swift Stingrays @ Underwater World Singapore

Stingrays
Nicknamed 'Underwater Birds'
Known to be shy and elusive.
See the 'swift-flying' of these magnificent 'Birds' underwater in this clip.


Amazed by these creatures,
I had to find out more.

Interesting info from National Geographic:
Stingray Profile
Stingrays are commonly found in the shallow coastal waters of temperate seas. They spend the majority of their time inactive, partially buried in sand, often moving only with the sway of the tide. The stingray's coloration commonly reflects the seafloor's shading, camouflaging it from predatory sharks and larger rays. Their flattened bodies are composed of pectoral fins joined to their head and trunk with an infamous tail trailing behind.

While the stingray's eyes peer out from its dorsal side, its mouth, nostrils, and gill slits are situated on its underbelly. Its eyes are therefore not thought by scientists to play a considerable role in hunting. Like its shark relatives, the stingray is outfitted with electrical sensors called ampullae of Lorenzini. Located around the stingray's mouth, these organs sense the natural electrical charges of potential prey. Many rays have jaw teeth to enable them to crush mollusks such as clams, oysters, and mussels.

When they are inclined to move, most stingrays swim by undulating their bodies like a wave; others flap their sides like wings. The tail may also be used to maneuver in the water, but its primary purpose is protection.

The stingray's spine, or barb, can be ominously fashioned with serrated edges and a sharp point. The underside may produce venom, which can be fatal to humans, and which can remain deadly even after the stingray's death. In Greek mythology, Odysseus, the great king of Ithaca, was killed when his son, Telegonus, struck him using a spear tipped with the spine of a stingray.

Average lifespan in the wild : 15 to 25 years
Size : Up to 6.5 ft (2m) TALLER than an average man.
Weight up to 790 lbs (350kg) : HEAVY!

What?!?! You Wallpapered your bedroom?



I am participating in Rhoda's Beadboard wallpaper party over a Southern Hospitality.

When purchasing a home, I dreamed of something with character and architectural interest. We did get a cute little 50s home, but it didn't come with quite the character I was crossing my fingers for.

So I put it in myself!

I knew we were going to do beadboard or wainscoting of some sort in the master. We used beadboard panels on our kitchen peninsula, which turned out AMAZING! I'll reveal the kitchen soon, I promise - we just got our oven yesterday.

Then one day, I stumbled across THIS POST!!!! I couldn't believe it! I yelled for Jarrod to come look as quick as he could. "LOOK HONEY, THEY MAKE BEADBOARD WALLPAPER!!!" Of course, he didn't share quite the same enthusiasm as I did about this new found treasure. Then I told him how much it would save us to do the wallpaper in lieu of the paneling - and he perked up a little bit more.

Remember my vision for the room?


It's still a work in progress, the chair rail and baseboards need to be caulked, then I'm going to paint all the trim and the wallpaper itself a glossy white.











I would show you more angles of the room, but you would see some pretty awful paper blinds that have paint on them because I wasn't careful when painting because I knew I was replacing them. I am on the lookout for fabric to do a nice DIY roman shade there.

I hesitate though, because I'm not sure I love the wall color after all. I love the blue a lot, and I picked it because I wanted a stark contrast - but I think this is way too stark. I also had these bed linens to work with, and new bed linens were not in the budget.

What do you think? Any suggestions?

Power Point

Welcome to all who are here from Between Naps on the Porch

I wish I knew how to use something fancy like AutoCad, or even photoshop - but I don't.  For a while, I was the Business Development Manager for a major food brokerage company.  This fancy title meant I was in charge of making the presentations that our senior executives used to sell their business to other senior executives at retailers like Kroger, or manufacturers like Kraft. 

So, I just played on powerpoint all day.  That's where I am most comfortable.  If I have to make anything on the computer, I at least start with power point.  My header up there?  Yep, powerpoint.

Not exactly sophisticated or cutting edge, but it helps me to visualize, or help others visualize those ideas constantly swarming around in my head.  Here are a few examples:

Levi's Nursery:



It's still a work in progess.  I am going to do chalkboard paint, a mirror for him to play in front of, a toybox of some sort below his window and a window treatment:




Our Front living room.


Those blinds used to be a nasty ugly natural wood yellowy color, and we just spray painted them to look like dark wood blinds.  I didn't think it would actually work, but it turned out great!




  Another angle of our living room with my CRAZY EASY WALL ART!


The original play was to do four of these panels, but I only ended up with three.  I may add another later, because I feel like the space looks blank still.  What do you think Im missing?







Curly bamboo was too expensive for me, but I found these plants at Pier 1 for only $4 each!

Smart Adorable Pink Dolphins @ Underwater World Singapore





Looking at these smart and adorable Pink Dolphins,
it is sad to know that they are an endangered species.

Info from Wikipedia:
The pink dolphin lives in the freshwater of the Amazon River. 
This species looks like the grey dolphin, but individuals are bigger, and instead of a dorsal fin they have a hump on their back. 
Their tails are also bigger. 
The pink dolphin has been listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of the Nature due to pollution, over fishing, excessive boat trafficking and habitat loss. 
The brain of the river dolphin is 40% larger than a human brain.

Wallpaper Art

I love Thrifty Decor Chick!  She always has great ideas, and when I saw this post - I just had to do it. 

I chose my entryway "niche" for this project:





This art project was really easy.  It is just canvases covered in textured wallpaper that I painted. Lowes had their textured wallpaper on sale for something like $3 and I already had the canvases from another project that failed miserably.

I covered the canvases in wallpaper, then painted them (our cabinet color). Then I took a little of the paint I used on the wall that these go on and mixed it with the brown to make a slightly lighter hue. I very lightly rolled over the canvases with this color, and it highlighted the raised part and it barely touched the parts that weren't raised giving it a distressed look. Then I went over the raised parts again with a small brush with the plain wall color.




The Lovely mirrored creepy entryway before:




The pretty and thrifty after (thanks Sarah!!)




Total Cost?  $13!!! (2.50 for each canvas and $3 for the wallpaper)

Crazy Easy Wall Art!!!


I saw this idea in a Lowes Creative Ideas magazine and thought it was amazing.  I wish I had thought of it myself!



In the Lowes magazine, they used high quality stainable wood boards.  I opted for the more economical canvases:

Step 1. Paint your canvas that you got at JoAnne's for 50% off of $15.99 (or at least pretend like you're painting it because you forgot to get a picture of actually painting it. Don't forget your fake candid picture smile!)




2. Step 2- Align your rubber doormat that you got at Target for $19.99 on top of the canvas. The Doormat was slightly bigger than the canvas, so we taped off the outside border from the back.




Step 3. Apply your really cool $3.99 make-a-gun out of your spray paint can thingy (don't worry dad, it's not a real gun)



Step 4. Apply quick thin coats of spray paint



Step Five: Lift your doormat stencil off the canvas to reveal a BEAUTIFUL piece of art. Swoon.



Although I was originally planning on doing 4 of these, like I pictured here:



I decided on 3 because you're supposed to do things in odd numbers in design. It's a rule, I didn't make it up - but I think I might want to do 4 after all.  What do you think?









A huge thanks to Kimba at A Soft Place to Land for hosting DIY day.  Be sure to check out the party for other great ideas!
