2009-09-19T08:59:00.000-07:00

I'm just about developing my site www.muraako.co.cc which later I will transfer to www.muraako.com.
I created an image that has a link. But to my annoyment I found again this stupid blue border around the image after I created a link.

I first met this blue border on Dreamweaver CS3 but it never appear in old days back when I'm using Dreamweaver 8.

After searching on forums ( of course, it is one of the solution to my problem.hehe..) the community told to just add this code to css file.

img
{
border:0px;
}

1. In my case, I simply put in on farthest below of the css code. Like this:

2. Save.
3. Refresh the site.

Now it looks this way:

Here's another code to put directly as inline text just in case it doesn't work with the css.

Displaying Feed Content or News Aggregator for Website

2009-09-05T14:39:00.000-07:00

I've been searching on the net looking on how to insert feed for my website/s. Well, honestly my real purpose is to insert an auto-generated content for my website to and news feeds or aggregator is exactly what I want. But I've never found a blow by blow instructions. Most of them promises to deliver auto content using their software with of course, you have to pay. Here's what I learned from playing around Joomla admin.

Problem:

I want my feed displays to look like a content inside a page. There are alot of extensions for feed display in Joomla but most of them are Modules and not Components.

Steps:

1. Create a module position that exactly looks like your content.

2. Log in to joomla admin.

3. Click extensions.

4. Then Module Manager.

5. Click New

6. Select Feed Display

7. Next

8. That's it! Enter the details like Title, Parameter, feed links, where you would like it to appear, etc...

Regarding the content, I realized nothing is better than creating your own content rather than just getting somewhere else. You will got the total control for the look, layout, design and content.
