At MTP (Nov-2007)

There was a cute jumping penguin in every reply box on Vavar's page. In a blog of his he posted the CSS codes for that. I copied the codes to my "Custom CSS" but I replaced the jumping penguin with a tiny glittering face that I myself created. It turned out good except the glittering face sat on the word "reply" in my "View All NNN Comments" page.
Thanks to Vavar, he gave me an extra code to solve this problem. See the screen shots below. It worked! This made me so happy. Thanks, Vavar!

By the way, my animation was created in a rush with only three frames. It should not and by all means cannot be compared with the refined jumping penguin....

**REMARKS added in March 2020:
The animations above do not move as these were merely the screenshots.
But they were glittering like this when they were on Multiply:

Last night we went test-driving in our Camry through a new bridge on the long Industrial Outer Ring Road bridge across Chao Praya River. At this point I am not sure what the correct name of the road should be. The bridge had been in use in some parts before it was officially open yesterday. The road and the bridge should help easing the terrible traffic jam in our area and in some too congested express ways in Bangkok. We went for an hour from Bang-na (our area) to Bang Kun-tien and back to Bang-na. Without this new bridge it would have taken many hours for us due to traffic jam and we had to go around.

The distance we travelled last night was almost 100kms (100 x 5/8 = 62.5 miles). We could see beautiful lights on another long and fairly new bridge as we passed by. Chao Praya River was way down below the bridge.

When we were almost home we passed through a bunch of motorbike gang. It was almost midnight. Those motorbikers were regarded as "bad" kids with no other way to boost their self-esteem, and they sure were afraid of the police. Their motorbikes were of basic type, so plain and shabby, although very, very noisy, unlike the "fabulous" (!!!) "bousouzoku" motorbike gangs in Japan whom even the Japanese policemen were often afraid of.

I have not seen the photos we took last night yet. We might do another test-driving during daytime this weekend and take another set of photos. Will see.

It is like attempting to swim butterfly style without learning to float in the water... LOL... But I have been fascinated with boxes that have rounded corners. There was a post somewhere in one of the Multiply groups that posted a three-line code for rounded corner boxes with the remarks that the code does not work with IE. Oh well.... I happen to use IE. I googled and was surprised to see tons of articles about how to make boxes with rounded corners. And I have to admit that I hardly understand any of them. Except one. This one is old fashioned, using only HTML codes, which is pretty lengthy. Anyway, I gave it a try and found it worked only in my own preview and in my blogging box, but not anywhere on my home page. See the thing below?

Remarks added on Oct-14-2012:
These 3 examples below are the screenshots I took from my original post at MTP (journal/item/137).

Can someone explain why the same set of codes appear as a picture only in some places? Let's look at another example:

LOL, Now I do not understand why there is a thin vertical line on the left of both the pictures. There were none when I previewed them in my IE browser. REMARKS: THE LINE WAS GONE WHEN I PREVIEWED MY BLOG HERE, TOO. IT EXISTED ONLY IN BLOG COMPOSING BOX.

There was an article using CSS codes in making boxes with rounded corners, but I do not have enough basics to correctly apply those codes yet. Sigh.

Let me have another play...

The code:

I am writing this on June 28, 2011, which is almost four years after I posted the blog in the above.

The codes shown in the screehshot were horribly long! So antique!

Today I came upon a very good site that generates rounded corner boxes - without using images!

~~http://roundedcorner.org/~~
** The site does not exist anymore.**

I have tested some in the comment box of my latest blog: "Famine".

The code-generator turned out to be superb! Very easy for anyone who wants to display such boxes on their webpages.

My next quest would be to search for the way to add drop shadow to rounded corner boxes - without using images, javascripts, or long codes.

Not easy for a self-learned amateur me, but it is certainly fun!
