Memasang kotak shoutbox

kotak shoutbox,kotak cuap cuap,kotak komentar,kotak curhatan dan masih banyak lagi istilah yang dipakai oleh para blogger.tapi intinya kotak ini berguna untuk menuliskan uneg uneg atau jejak kamu setelah berkunjung kesalah satu blog.jadi nanti pemilik blog bisa membacanya dan kemudian bisa langsung membalas di kotak itu juga.kota ini lebih praktis ketimbang kotak komentar.karena kalo kotak ini bisa diletakkan dihalaman depan,sedangkan kotak komentar adanya di setiap postingan.

cara memasang shoutbox atau kotak ngoceh:

4. Disitu kamu bisa mensetting terlebih dahulu shoutbox kamu, misalnya Style & Color, Date & Time, dan lain-lain.
5. Jika sudah selesai klik menu Get Codes
6. Jika kamu ingin menaruh shoutbox di blog kamu pilih "Place Shoutbox on Webpage"
7. Atur lebar dan tinggi shoutbox di kolom widht dan hight
8. Kemudian Copy kode yang ada di dalam kotak "generated Codes"

sekarang kita akan meletakkan kode itu dialam blog

1.Login ke blogger-Layout-Add Page Elements

Blog lebih baik dari pada website ?

• Budaya Blog

Sebenarnya blog adalah sebuah website, kenapa demikian? karena blog adalah sebuah halaman yang dapat ditampilkan lewat media browser internet. Dalam bentuk apapun jika dapat ditampilkan dengan media browser adalah sebuah halaman website, baik itu berbentuk mesin pencari, situs toko, situs komunitas, situs informasi dan sebagainya. Ada hal yang lain yang begitu istimewa yang membedakan antara sebuah blogg dengan website lainnya, yaitu sebuah blog adalah sebuah halaman website yang dinamis bukan statis, yang membuat blog lebih dicintai oleh mesin pencari.
Sebuah blog adalah tempat untuk menuliskan ide, menuliskan berita, menulikan pengalaman dan menuliskan harapan sehingga kegiatan seperti ini akan menumbuhkan rasa kebahagiaan tersendiri, tak jarang para blogger akan bertahan terus dalam kegiatan ini walaupun tanpa mendapatkan imbalan apapun.
Sebenarnya blog adalah sebuah ajang untuk berkreasi.

• Ciri khas Blog

Artikel ditampilkan secara kronologis
Yaitu artikel ditampilkan secara berurutan menurut waktu penerbitannya (penulisannya), artikel yang terbaru akan diposisikan paling atas kemudian berurutan menuju artikel yang lebih lama, karena sebuah blogg pada hakikatnya adalah perkembangan dari sebuah jurnal atau diary online. Sehingga sebuah blog adalah sebuah website yang dinamis karena kontennya selalu berubah-ubah, tak seperti website normal yang halamannya tak pernah berubah. Hal inilah yang menyebabkan kepopuleran blog melebihi blog statis.
Adanya ruang untuk berkomentar
Sebuah ruang komentar selalu ada dalam setiap artikel (content) yang ditulis, inilah kekuatan dari sebuah blog sebagai media untuk membuat jaringan pertemanan. Ruang komentar menjadi alat komunikasi dua arah, para pembaca bisa dengan mudah berkomunikasi dengan penulis content, membawa pembicaraan yang dimulai dari sebuah artikel menjadi sebuah komunitas.
Kemudahan dalam posting
Website biasa (tradisional) mempunyai satu masalah kronis yaitu terlalu teknis, yang menghalangi orang untuk menambahkan content baru, meskipun sudah CMS (Content Management System) yang canggih, pembuatan website masih diluar jangkauan pengguna web awam. Dengan blog maka maka masalah ini bisa teratasi. Blog menyediakan sebuah sistem publikasi content yang begitu mudah digunakan oleh kebanyakan pengguna web, dengan sedikit latihan saja para blogger sudah bisa mempublikasikan content ke World Wide Web.
Sering terupdate
Karena kemudahan posting dan adanya komentar dalam sebuah blog maka seringkali sebuah blog akan terupdate berulang kali dalam sehari, dengan asumsi bahwa isi content bernilai dan konsisten maka secara otomatis para pengunjung akan berulangkali ‘mampir’ karena mereka mendapatkan apa yang mereka butuhkan yang berarti akan meningkatkan traffic dan rangking pada mesin pencari.Dan perkecualian untuk blog malas yang tak pernah di update ataupun tak pernah diisi konten maka layaknya seperti website statis dan ditinggalkan oleh mesin pencari.

Jika ciri khas blog di atas dikombinasikan maka sebuah blog mempunyai kekuatan yang luar biasa, tidak hanya sebagai tempat bersenang-senang untuk mengekspresikan ide tetapi lebih dari itu yaitu sebagai ruang pemasaran produk yang potensial. Sebuah blog relatif lebih cepat mendapatkan perhatian daripada website normal. Sebuah blog akan semakin meningkat pengunjungnya jika mempunyai content bernilai dan dibutuhkan. Karena adanya ruang komentar maka sebuah blog sangat cepat sekali membangun sebuah komunitas di dunia cyber. Inilah yang menjadi perhatian khusus oleh para pebisnis dan pemasar internet terhadap sebuah blog. Read More..

4.setelah kita ketemu kode yang dicetak tebal.ganti kode tersebut dengan kode dibawah ini:

untuk membuat blog kita terlihat lebih profesional,kita bisa menambahkan "tips of the day" di blog kita.tips of the day adalah tips singkat yang ditulis oleh pemilik blog kepada pengunjung.tips of the day bisa berisi tips memasak,tips kesehatan,tips keuangan dan masih banyak lagi.tips tips seperti itu pasti akan sangat menarik perhatian pengunjung sehingga mereka tidak bosan berkunjug ke blog anda.karena mereka bisa mendapatkan tips tips singkat yang berguna ketika berkunjung ke blog anda.tips of the day disini bukan tips yang akan disampaikan setiap hari.melainkan tips tips ini akan selalu berganti ketika pengunjung merefresh atau reload halaman blog anda.

ternyata cara buatnya tidak terlalu susah kok.cukup ikuti langkah dibawah ini:

1.perhatikan kode dibawah ini

<a href="http://www.o-om.com">
<img border="0" style="float:left; margin:0 5px 5px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" alt="http://www.o-om.com" src="http://www.geocities.com/oom_directory/tipsOftheday.gif"/></a>
<font color="#333333"><b>Did You Know...</b>
<script language="JavaScript">
//store the quotations in arrays
tips = new Array(5);
tips[0] = "<i>tips...1</i>";
tips[1] = "<i>tips...2</i>";
tips[2] = "<i>tips...3</i>";
tips[3] = "<i>tips...4</i>";
tips[4] = "<i>tips...5</i>";
//calculate a random index
index = Math.floor(Math.random() * tips.length);
//display the quotation
document.write("\n");
document.write(tips[index]);
//done
</script>
</font>
<a href="javascript:location.reload(true)"> »»</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.o-om.com/2007/12/cara-buat-random-tips-of-day.html">(?)</a>
<br/>

catatan penting:
ada beberapa kode yang tidak boleh diubah seperti.

tulisan yang berwarna biru merupakan kode untuk mereload atau merefresh tips tersebut sehingga akan selalu terganti tulisan yang boleh diganti

tulisan yang boleh diganti

1..tulisan yang berwarna merah adalah tampilan text.ini boleh anda ubah sesuai keinginana anda

2. tulisan berwarna hijau merupakan tampilan logo.logo tersebut bisa anda ganti dengan gambar yang anda inginkan.caranya tinggal copy alamat gambar yang telah anda upload dan paste di tempat itu

Bagaimana jika anda ingin menambah tips of the day yang akan ditampilkan.caranya di bawah ini:
kode di bawah ini berarti anda hanya akan menampilkan 5 tips dalam blog anda

tips = new Array(5);
tips[0] = "<i>tips...1</i>";
tips[1] = "<i>tips...2</i>";
tips[2] = "<i>tips...3</i>";
tips[3] = "<i>tips...4</i>";
tips[4] = "<i>tips...5</i>";

jika anda ingin menambah 7 tips ataupun 20 tips..tinggal ganti "new Array"menjadi "(7)" kemudian tinggal tulis aja tips2 nya sebanyak 7.yang harus di ingat adalah jumlah tips dihitung mulai dari 0(nol) bukan 1 (satu)..makanya hasilnya akan jadi seperti ini :

tips = new Array(7);
tips[0] = "<i>tips...1</i>";
tips[1] = "<i>tips...2</i>";
tips[2] = "<i>tips...3</i>";
tips[3] = "<i>tips...4</i>";
tips[4] = "<i>tips...5</i>";
tips[5] = "<i>tips...6</i>";
tips[6] = "<i>tips...7</i>";

Pentax Detailed Description of Pentax K-m:

An Easy-to-Operate, Entry-Class Digital SLR Camera Featuring Shake Reduction, Scene-Specific Shooting Modes and an Array of User-Friendly Functions in a Compact, Lightweight Body.

HOYA CORPORATION PENTAX Imaging Systems Division is pleased to announce the launch of the PENTAX K-m digital SLR camera. Designed primarily for beginning digital SLR photographers, this new entry-class model offers simplified, user-friendly operation, and an easy-to-maneuver compact, lightweight body.

The PENTAX K-m was developed as an entry-class digital SLR camera offering simple, straightforward operation, making it possible for first-time digital SLR users and family photographers to enjoy high-quality digital SLR photography with little trouble or confusion.

It features an upgraded version of the PENTAX-original Auto Picture mode, which automatically detects the type of subject or scene, and sets the proper shooting mode for the photographer. It also features a host of advanced features and sophisticated functions — including the innovative in-body Shake Reduction mechanism — to assist the photographer. It also offers a compact, lightweight body, designed by incorporating PENTAX’s advanced downsizing technologies, accumulated over the years of digital SLR development, into different body parts. As a result, the PENTAX K-m assures simple operation and outstanding operability, even for inexperienced first-time digital SLR users.

Along with the PENTAX K-m, PENTAX will also launch two DA L-series interchangeable zoom lenses: the smc PENTAX-DA L 18-55mmF3.5-5.6AL and the smc PENTAX-DA L 50-200mmF4-5.6ED. Designed for exclusive use with PENTAX digital SLR cameras, these DA L-series lenses are designed to be more compact and lightweight than conventional counterparts, without sacrificing any of the exceptional optical performance common to all PENTAX lenses.


Main Features

1. Compact, lightweight body for enhanced portability and maneuverability:
Despite the incorporation of a large-sized image sensor (23.5mm by 15.7mm), the PENTAX K-m offers a compact, lightweight body to assure remarkable portability and maneuverability. This was made possible by the development of a compact, lightweight and high-rigidity stainless-steel chassis, the downsizing of the Shake Reduction mechanism and circuit boards, the employment of latest high-density packaging technologies assuring most efficient positioning and layout of various parts, and the repositioning of the battery compartment. The camera grip has also been redesigned to assure firm, comfortable hold of the camera body.

2. Simplified operation system for easy camera handling:
The PENTAX K-m features a newly designed control system, which positions most of buttons and levers on the camera’s grip side, making it easier for first-time digital SLR users stepping up from their compact models to operate the camera. What’s more, the functions of each button or lever are instantly displayed on the camera’s LCD monitor with a single press of the help button to facilitate camera operation — especially for those who are unfamiliar with digital SLR cameras.

3. PENTAX-original Shake Reduction mechanism for sharp, blur-free images:
The PENTAX K-m comes equipped with the PENTAX-developed SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism, which effectively reduces camera shake for sharp, blur-free images even under demanding shooting conditions — such as when using a telephoto lens, shooting in the dark or at night without supplementary flash illumination, or using extended exposures for sunset scenes. This innovative SR mechanism shifts the position of the image sensor vertically and horizontally at high speed using magnetic force, while adjusting the shifting speed in proportion to the amount of camera shake detected by a built-in sensor. It offers an outstanding compensation effect — up to the equivalent of approximately four shutter steps. As a result, it does not require special anti-shake lenses, and can be used with almost all existing PENTAX interchangeable lenses.

4. Comprehensive Dust Removal system with prevention, removal and confirmation devices:
The PENTAX K-m features the user-friendly DR (Dust Removal) system to prevent dust from appearing on captured images. Applied to the CCD image sensor surface (or low-pass filter) through the vapor deposition process of a fluorine compound, the PENTAX-original SP (Super Protect) coating effectively removes dust and stains from the surface. In the next step, dust that still remains on the surface will be shaken off when the SR system shifts the image sensor at high speed. Finally, the dust that is shaken off the image sensor will fall onto an adhesive sheet positioned at the bottom of the SR unit, eliminating any possibility of it returning to the image sensor surface. This DR system even offers a Dust Alert function, which allows the user to confirm the dust-adhesion status of the CCD in advance.

5. Auto Picture mode for automatic selection of optimum shooting mode:
The PENTAX-developed Auto Picture mode is programmed to automatically select the most appropriate shooting mode — from such choices as Portrait, Landscape and Macro — for a given subject. With the PENTAX K-m, this user-friendly mode is further upgraded, with automatic detection of situations requiring the Night Scene Portrait mode. Since all camera settings, including aperture, shutter speed, white balance, saturation, contrast and sharpness, are automatically adjusted by the camera for optimum results, the user can concentrate on image composition and shutter opportunity.

6. High-quality image:
The PENTAX K-m combines a large, high-performance CCD image sensor (23.5mm by 15.7mm) with the sophisticated PRIME (PENTAX Real Image Engine) as its imaging engine. With its approximately 10.2 effective megapixels, it produces beautiful, fine-detailed images with subtle gradations and delicate texture description. It also features a Custom Image function, which offers a choice of six finishing touches to help the user create intended images.

7. High-speed continuous shooting at approx. 3.5 frames per second:
The PENTAX K-m lets the user keep shooting images at the speed of approximately 3.5 frames per second (in the JPEG recording format), allowing the user to capture a sequence of a fast-moving subject with great ease.

8. High-precision 5-point AF system:
The PENTAX K-m incorporates a five-point wide-area AF system (SAFOX VIII with five cross-type sensors) to assure dependable, high-precision autofocusing. Using the five sensors positioned in a cross pattern over the image field (one in the middle, two at sides, and two at top and bottom), this system automatically and unfailingly selects the optimum sensor for a given subject. It also allows the user to fix the AF detection point at the middle sensor. Thanks to a thorough review of the AF algorithm, this AF system also offers improved autofocusing speed under poor-lighting conditions, in which conventional AF systems take longer to focus on the subject.

9. Auto sensitivity control up to ISO 3200:
The PENTAX K-m’s auto sensitivity control function automatically sets the optimum sensitivity between ISO 100 and ISO 3200, based on such data as the subject’s brightness level and the lens’ focal length. Since this function allows the user to take advantage of faster shutter speeds in poor lighting situations (such as indoor sports events and nighttime scenes), it helps the photographer to effectively reduce camera shake and subject shake and prevent blurred images.

10. Effective gradation compensation:
The PENTAX K-m’s dynamic-range expansion function allows the user to expand a dynamic range (or a range of gradation reproduction) to minimize white-washed areas in the image. On the other hand, its shadow compensation function minimizes pitch-black areas lacking details. Combined, they help the user to produce beautiful, rich-gradation images when shooting high-contrast subjects.

11. Large, easy-to-view 2.7-inch LCD monitor:
The PENTAX K-m features a large 2.7-inch color LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 dots on its back panel. This monitor’s wide-view design allows the photographer to check the on-screen image from approximately 170 degrees both vertically and horizontally. It even offers digital zooming of playback images up to 16 times for easy confirmation of the image’s focusing status and details.

12. Bright, clear viewfinder:
Thanks to a combination of a lightweight penta-mirror prism, a PENTAX-original finder optics and the acclaimed Natural-Bright-Matte focusing screen, the PENTAX K-m’s viewfinder delivers a large, bright subject image with an approximately 96-percent field of view and an approximately 0.85-times magnification.

13. Digital filters for unique visual expressions:
The PENTAX K-m’s built-in digital filters let the user effortlessly add some creative and artistic touches to recorded images — without the use of a PC. The user can select one of 14 different digital filters — including the new Toy Camera and Retro filters — to create a desired visual effect. Read More..
