Design and Create Blogger Widgets - The Secret!

<center><span style="border-bottom: #8080ff 10px solid; border-left: #8080ff 10px solid; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; border-top: #8080ff 10px solid; border-right: #8080ff 10px solid; padding-top: 6px; -moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px"><font color="#8080ff"><strong>Hello Brother!</strong></font></span></center>

 

Don't be confused with the large chunk of code above, CSS is the most interesting and most easiest web language of all. Just the way you make sentences using alphabets we use bits and pieces to create a CSS class.

So How will you design a widget?

Whether you wish to become a designer or you wish to be able enough to customize your template and posts, learning both CSS and HTML is a must now for a happy blogging career. I learnt designing by tweaking Blogger templates and by reading tutorials on [a href="http://www.w3schools.com/" target="_blank"]w3schools[/a]. There are three important practical tips that I can give:

1. Go and Learn Photoshop. Find a nearby institute where [a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2010/01/photoshop-image-editing-basics-for.html" target="_blank"]Photoshop[/a] is taught. Take a course of no more than 1 month.
2. Start reading at least 5 tutorials per day of [a href="http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp" target="_blank"]HTML[/a] at w3schools
3. After you learnt the basics of HTML then start the [a href="http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp" target="_blank"]CSS tutorials[/a] and read at least 4 tutorials daily at w3schools

This entire hard work will take you no more than a month. After having learnt everything, you will start experimenting and practicing them the next month and on the third and fourth month you deserve to be called a Designer!

After you have developed your designing skills then you can also go and start learning JavaScript, php, jQuery etc.

I have shared whatever that is practical and affordable to all of you. If you think you can hire a teacher for HTML and CSS then it is even more good but trust me Photoshop is the only thing I learnt in an institute, the rest of all my skills are self thought thanks to helpful internet and w3schools in general. The best thing about w3schools is that you can use their HTML editor to create and preview the code at the same time just like MBT HTML Editor. This thing will build up solid skills within a short time of span.

Keeping everything aside, I will be always there for constant help and support. I wish you may find the topic and tips today helpful in order to better enjoy your lives online. Please never give up and utilize this golden life opportunity effectively. Peace and blessings friends.
