Tips: Miscellaneous Friendster “Sweetener” Tips

Hi all, this is my post respond to question on how to add custom emoticon on my friendster comment. Just try to share the idea.

Tips #1 : Add Custom Emoticon on Friendster Comment Box

Actually, it isn’t that hard to add emoticon image to friendster’s comment box. If u’re familiar with html, then this wouldn’t be any matter at all, but for those who didn’t, hopely this could be usefull.

1. First of all, we need the emoticons image source site. For ur reference, u can use Yahoo! Messenger’s Emoticons (standard emoticons or hidden emoticons) or maybe u got other site referals. Open the site until it display all the emoticons preview. Right click on which emoticon image u want to use, and select “Copy Image Address” (for Opera user) or “Copy Image Location“ (for FireFox user). *) For Internet Explorer users, right click on the image and select properties, copy all text in “Address: (URL)” section.
2. Select the profile u want to add comment from Friendster, and then prepare to write the comment for them.
3. To add image inside the comment box, just type:

   <img src='[paste_here]'>

   Replace the text [paste_here] with the image link you have copied on step 1. The result should be like this:

   <img src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/65.gif'>

   There, that’s all we need to do.

4. I prefer emoticons from Yahoo!Messenger because they had small file size, use transparency (white BG image might looks awfull if the BG color of friendster profile is in other colour), small image size (22×18 pixels), and nice looks..
5. But, here’s another emoticon site referal (dun hv transparency): www.addEmoticon.com.

Tips #2 : Custom Background in Friendster Profile

1. Edit an image file you want to use as friendster background (use photoshop or other image processing software).
2. Upload it to your friendster profile or other image hosting sites.
3. Copy the image link you had upload (please see Tips #1: step 1). Make sure the image link you had copy is in the real size (not thumbnail)
4. Customize your Friendster Profile using Friendster CSS Generator (Michael’s Friendster Profile Editor).
5. Paste the image url from step #3 to section PAGE BACKGROUND, Image URL. Generate the css and copy-paste it to Friendster’s Customize Profile and click “save”.
6. Refresh yor friendster profile. The BG image should be changed now.
