Herself's Webtools

If post a table of information in Blogger and you look at your post and see the table way down at the bottom of the post it is because the editor added in line breaks for you.

It is ok to use tables to display tabbular information but they confuse the editors. You know that when you type a line and hit return the editor adds a line break. Well it does this for tables as well. But rather than add the line breaks inside the table it posts them all just before the table.

This can be fixed.

This will add 5 empty lines before your table:

<tr>
<td>data</td>
<td>more data</td>
<td>some junk</td>
</td>

This will add one empty line for each and every row in your table before it prints the table:
<tr><td>data</td><td>more data</td><td>some junk</td></td>

So what you have to do is take your entire table. Everything between <table> and </table> and put it all on one long line. That will remove the line breaks before your table.

The best thing to do is use your favorite non-blog editor to create and check your table. Then remove all the line breaks and test it again. Once you have no line breaks and the table is correct, just cut and paste it into the blogging software editor.

Blogger Tips and Tricks has a different Solution which he just posted this week as well

Before enhancement:

After enhancement:

Open a copy of your image — never work on the original image!

Go to: Tools -> Color Tools -> Levels
Select Auto
Select OK

Go to: Dialogs -> Layers
In the Layers window duplicate your layer ( 2 sheets of paper 4th button from left )

Go back to the image and select
Filters -> Blur -> Selective Gaussian Blur and use the default settings -> click ok
( this part make take a minute depending on image size and how fast your computer is )

When the blur is done go back to the Layers window
In Mode select -> overlay
Adjust the Opacity till you like the result

Back to the image and select
Layer -> Merge down

This makes whites whiter, blacks blacker, greens greener &c. Some images have an almost 3d effect after doing this set of image enhancements.

Also try this with out doing the Gaussian Blur. Every photo is different and you just have to play with each one to get it right.
