Bookmarklet: The Image Dance

Okay, okay, this Bookmarklet isn't very useful after all. It just makes all (or at least most) of the images on a pages go on the left side and wave back and forth. To try it out, click here.

Pretty cool, eh? Here's how to make it a Bookmarklet.
  1. Firstly, this is probably your first Bookmarklet. To keep things tidy, make a folder called Bookmarklets in your bookmarks.
  2. Right click on this step, and choose Bookmark this Link.
  3. Put the Bookmarklet in the new folder, and name it something like Dancing Images.
Now you've got a new Bookmarklet. You can use it on any page.Here's a picture to help test the Bookmarklet. It's pretty funny too.

New Segments! Woo Hoo!

Okay, because my blog is boring, I decided to add some more interesting segments. First up, the Bookmarklet!

What is a Bookmarklet, then? Well, a Bookmarklet is a bookmark, which has some JavaScript code in it instead of a web address. This means instead of taking you somewhere strange, a Bookmarklet will do something useful where you already are. I'll give you one of these neat little guys in every Bookmarklet segment.

Secondly, the Physics Fun segment. In this one, I'll feature something fun to do in one of my favourite physics simulation games:
Finally, my Rant segment. This very very occasional segment will have me venting my anger at anything and everything, usually Internet Explorer.

Hopefully you'll read my blog more if I add these segments (and of course update it).
