Asking for Computer Savvy Help!

Comment Published at 20:3620:3614 comments14 comments69 Visits69 VisitsReport

 

Firstly i would like to wish each and everyone of my friends a super weekend.....for those who have had a stinker of a week, heat wise, i do hope you are now having cooler weather......for those who have been in the middle of the bad weather & floods, i hope you have not had to much damage and that  the situation is easing for you. And to those who have not had a good week for what ever reason, i sincerely hope things have improved for you......put a smile on your face, have a good laugh with a friend or loved one &  say to yourself, things can only get better.

MySpace and Orkut Weekend Glitter Graphic - 5

As most of you know, i have been trying to do a countdown clock, to the day that  i meet that wonderful lady and dear friend Marg. Thanks to Deb (blackwidow) and her time & effort we now have one, which is great....but i've been trying to do one with the months, days, hours & minutes, all week.  I hate to be defeated, but i think i have to give in, as i'm pulling my hair at the moment.

So i'm asking for help, i know  this hasn't anything to do with minti & it's personal, but something i'd really like to do. I know there is alot of clever ladies out there that know more about the workings of the computer, then i ever will, so i'm asking for help.

This fustrating because when i go into my homepage to edit, i can paste the code, which is this

<center><embed src="http://www.countdownclockcodes.com/cd/ccc-vacation/show.swf?clickURL=http://www.countdownclockcodes.com/&clickLABEL=MySpace Countdown Clocks&flashLABEL=Countdown Clock Codes&skin=http://www.countdownclockcodes.com/cd/ccc-vacation/skins/29.jpg&text=Till%20the%20magic%20moment%20i%20meet%20my%20dear%20friend%20Marg&untilColor=6724095&textColor=16777215&datesColor=0&year=2008&month=4&day=16&hour=11&minute=24&second=20&x=6&y=77" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="300" height="200" name="countdown" align="middle" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /><br><small><a href="http://www.countdownclockcodes.com/">MySpace Countdown Clocks</a></small></center>

and the countdown clock appears, i can see it, but when i save it and then go back to my homepage, there is just the code....so maddening! Have tried other countdown sites and they are all the same. I like this one because it has a picture of a lake running through the rockies. And it is from this http://www.countdownclockcodes.com/vacation-countdown-clocks/

To those who read this, thanks  for taking the time.

Just to finish, i  thought i would put up a picture, that show's the magic of photography.....this is A White Headed Pigeon, just supervising a little Yellow Breasted Lorikeet's afternoon bath. I thought it was great and just wanted to share it with you all.

Love Janice

Re: Asking for Computer Savvy Help!
Hi
Now i have my hubby working on it
He is a severe nerd and computer geek
He thinks there may be a mistake in the code itself and is looking into it
We have jsut been so busy for the last few days he has had no time....
If he cant get it to work no one can
Luv Deb

Re: Asking for Computer Savvy Help!
Hi Janice,
I was just browsing Minti and came across your plea for help.  I'm not sure that Minti allows us to include HTML codes in our blogs.  I tried to do a simple code on my blog and it didn't work.  Maybe you can contact one of the administrators and see if they can help you. I really think it's a neat idea to include it, but don't know if it's against the rules or what not. Good luck!
Rose

Re: Asking for Computer Savvy Help!

Thanks Cham, for your kind words, yeah thanks to Deb, we have a countdown up and can't wait for 3 more days to go and we will hit the 3 month mark, wow! Some people might think Marg & i are crazy,  ( esppecially travelling all that way to meey someone) but this world of our's would be dull if we weren't abit crazy.   From the first moment Marg & I talk, there was this deep connection and a feeling that we have known each other, from the past....so is just two old friends being re-united....and boy what a reunion it will be.

Hugs Janice

Re: Asking for Computer Savvy Help!
I am still trying to do it. I get it to come up in the edit page, then won't come up in the homepage. But there will be a way to do it and now that I have had dinner I will have a play and see if I can get it for you.

You could do it you know. It isn't that hard. Those pics are just pasted in there, and the writing I just wrote in Word the way I wanted it and pasted it in. I am still trying with the other tho.

Re: Asking for Computer Savvy Help!
Will it work if you drag and drop it across or copy and paste it?  I have tried copying those codes before and never get the graphic just the gobble-dee-gook!!

Hi Janice,no matter, you and I are great counter downers!!! Well I am! It's in the heart and in the head! I was going to ask if you got some rest! but...heee,heee,it's 3:30 am here and I've not gone to bed yet so,I'm calling off the lecture just for tonight as it would not seem right!! LOL! I love that beautiful little bird,how lucky you are! My wild bunny was out at my feet with dog in the yard,all were peaceful and happy! It is storming and beating down rain here,still not giving up on getting the snow back...just going to have to wish harder. Hope all your countrymen are safe from heat and floods!

Re: Asking for Computer Savvy Help!

Gee Marg, look who's calling the kettle black, get to bed, that's right the lecture wouldn't seem right, haha!!  What are we going to do with ourselves....we will be up all night talking and sleeping all day ( wish), what would the men say, about that. But honestly i dread the night's.

Glad you liked the little bird, i just thought it was so cute, this big bird watching over the little lorikeet, while he was having a bath....but in actual fact, that wasn't the case ( only my side to the photo)....he wanted to have a bath himself.

love you xxxxx

Re: Asking for Computer Savvy Help!

Well, Janice I hope you get the time clock done 'cause I'm really sorry but I have no idea how to help you.  I just drag and drop all my graphics as the codes never work for me.

The heat has finally gone but I think Tuesday is going to be a stinker again

Love the pic,

take care - angie
