Bloggeratto

A very simple curiosity, the option to have a animated feedroll in your sidebar or to carry as a badge anywhere else.




However, i can think of others ways to use it.

But first, have a go at it, as it is in here:

Powered by

A quick note to point to no to the new Uber SlackerScript (extra work prevention userscript) That Singapolyma has merged up into one for the use of anyone that wants to have a go at it.

A voting system with the same principles as Bumpbox that worked on Blogger were something i was recently thinking in, and well, the first one of it´s kind that works Blogger seems to be this, more important is that it not only offers the option for the kind of vote button you want like shown here:



but that it offers the css file for the Vote Button to whoever want to grab it and hosting it elsewhere to have your own look specifications.

This service offers a specific version for wordpress and a custom version to modifcate that is the one that works with Blogger of course.

So, i took the time to make you and aready adjusted custom version that works with Blogger, that really only needs the Blogger $tags$ to work:

CODE:

Copy the code below


<script type="text/javascript">
link_url = "<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>";
title= "<$BlogItemTitle$>";
site_url = "<$BlogURL$>";
type = "box";
customcss = "none";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.bumpbox.com/beta/bbxbeta.js"></script>


INSTALLATION:

Go to Settings - Template and then look for the place where you want it to appear, (in this case it would be recomended for it be at the post footer)

Paste the code there and that´s it.

USE

In this case the only Bad/Good thing is that to vote the user has to have a account in Bumpbox.

GOOD

This is Good because that way people cannnot abuse that easy of the system and having an account in bumpbox will also give them a My Bumps list holding everything that they gave their good mark for, like in Digg and other Systems like it being able to track those items.

BAD

This is Bad because that way if they are not signed in they will have to sign in there.

OBSERVATIONS:

An added perk for using Bumpbox is that everytime someone Bump a post whenever that be, it appears in the general Bumpbox Board giving you some posible extra traffic.

So the only shortcoming i see for the system is that the service work in the behalf of the user only, and it works in a public way for the Blog Bumpbox user.

Wich means that the Bumpbox user that has a blog cannot opt for a RSS feed, for remote checking and to have the option to play with it, for example, to have a lastes bumped items.

This also means that for the moment you cannot think right now of having a widget for doing the same from the Bumpbox Service.

But this observations are really just nitpicking about it because this is easy to fix, if they get a claim this blog into the system that will get you added features and tools.

DEMO:


This is a Blogger Testblog with Bumpbox enabled:

And here are the self explanatory pictures of it:

1.-Dashboard:





2.- Comment Window:








*Updated:

But it seems that i can only see it from the computer at work, maybe because of some changes i made to my Blogger account (don`t ask) recently.

Here is the description of it:

There is a new comments link that is just at the right of the delete link in the edit post section of the posting tab, when clicked,it will give you the comment window (opens in the same tab/window) for that post and there will be a "X" red pointer and a Pencil as the edit icon at the side of it in each of the comments of that post.

And that is it. now, who wants to know about the other 4 confirmed changes to blogger i know about? =D


*Updated 08/07/06: Now with photos

(yeah, i knew that last line would put this blog and my mail going on, hehehe)

*Updated 11/07/06: Note

The comment control is no more, i don´t see it anymore.. and i really was left weird out of it because after looking at jasper userscript, and i noticed there were exactly the same and began having doubts, i mean i had not intalled or seen it before but how about it somehow the broswer catched it recenly while iwere using others userscripts? i am using flock at the moment.

so unless it returns i have decided to only link at jasper

Well, i recived some mail asking where the hell i was. the thing is that my health was not OK the last 10 days so i were a little M.I.A on the Blogging scene because of it, it is sad becuase i have lots of stuff that i am holding because i have them in my notes.

It is also sad becuase it takes me out of my self marked schedule for the blog i wanted to keep when i started it.

But since i have to work in the day, it can get hard to do.

However i have done a lot of thinking and i have been distracting myself translating the rest of the post that i need so the spanish version of this blog can be in synch with this blog at all times

So, sorry about the hiatus but that is how life is.

But i am in no way letting go of this Blogger Craziness.

Thanks for the ones who sended me a e-mail.

I have recived some e-mails about where & when the Bloggeratto side-proyect i talked about a month ago is, and the answer is: I will release it a soon as i can and it will be worthy the wait i hope. and i already have planned the next 2 proyects after that one.

Well, it seem Efendi Kwok is aboard this Blogger Monkeying we love so much here in Bloggeratto, so as he is a good lad and i consider him a friend i am glad to see he is at it already, great to know.

Anyway Efendi has cooked up a clever and simple Hack to be used if you want to have as the title of the post says: Scrolling Prev/Next Button Links.

When pressed it will just do a scroll transition from post to post very smoothly adjusting to the lenght of the post.

If the post is short the transition will be moderately fast and if the post is long the transition will be fast. you get the idea.

The hack is implemented using a Effect library that weights as little as this very post.

So go give Efendi a Visit at that Post .
