Saving the world one code at a time

LOLOL thanks for the shameless fawning. :P This is exactly why I'm marrying you you're marrying me!

In other news, in a joint effort Wil and I have figured out how to resize mixpod/music player skins!! Wooo!

Fellow bloggers who want to put music players on the sidebars might notice that the flash files get cut off when they want to resize them.

There are three things to note, ALL of which must be changed to get the flash file to resize to scale:

1. There are codes which define the height and width; they say

height="100" width="100" (or some other numbers).
as well as
width: 100px;height:100px

Change these to the height and width you want first. The size of our dog is Width = 170 and Height = 202.

2.
Where it says:


param name="scale" value="noscale"


change the "noscale" to "scale", ie


param name="scale" value="scale"


It might be helpful to use Ctrl+F and enter this code in, so you find the line easier.


3.

Find the section that says

&ow=100&oh=100

And delete this! Note, your numbers might be different from ours (NOT 100 by 100, so just type in "&ow=" into your searchbar (Ctrl+F) and see where it turns up. Delete this completely!


Et voila, you should have a nice new smaller (or bigger!) MP3 player for your blog :D
