Label Gadget - How to make the Label Cloud more colorful

On 25 August, 2009, Blogger upgraded the Label Gadget by adding the much requested Label Cloud feature to it. Blogger told us about the new feature which they added to the Label gadget in this Blogger Buzz article.

The default setting for the Label gadget is to display the Labels as a list, however you can change it into a Label cloud by going to your Dashboard and clicking on Layout and then click the Edit link which belongs to the Label Gadget. If you want to learn how to use multiple colors when you are using the Label Cloud option of the Label Gadget you can click the Read More link.

Help I changed the password to my Blogger account and now I can't sign in to Gmail

When changing the password for your Blogger account you also change the password for the Google account which both your Blogger account and your Gmail are connected to.

If you wish to change back to the original password you used for Gmail you can do it by clicking on the My account link when signed in to either Gmail or Blogger. If you are signed in to Gmail you are also signed in to Blogger.

When creating a Blogger account or a Gmail address you are also creating a Google account. And if you use your Gmail address join any Google related services like for example Blogger or Feedburner you adds them to your Google account.

CSS and links

When modifying the appearance of your links using CSS you should add a:link, a:visited, a:focus, a:hover, a:active in the order I listed and to make it easier to remember the order to add them to the style sheet you might find this phrase "Lord Vader's Former Handle Anakin" useful.

Example
a:link { color: #FF00FF; }
a:visited { color: #FFFF00; }
a:hover { color: #00FFFF; }
a:focus { color: #0000FF; }
a:active { color: #FF0000; }
