how to create an on-mouse comment in posts?

[Dracula]

In a simple HTML it could work like this:

<a name="oldPost1"></a>
Your old post /paragraph here ... put more test to see how it links to this
<a href="#oldPost1" title='few details about the old post'> link to old post 1/paragraph </a>
If you want to link to another page, the href should look like this:
<a href="http://yousite/anotherPage#oldPost1" title='few details about the old post'> link to old post 1/paragraph </a>
That means:
Add the <a name="oldPost1"></a> before the paragraph.

put the link like this to your old marked post (it should work from any page):
<a href="http://www.burntmouth.com/index.html#oldPost1>link</a>

All best,
Radu

Look, here is an example of how to do it, I tested it myself on my dracula blog:

this is the page about the [URL="http://dracula-transylvania.blogspot.com/2007/06/blacksmiths-tower-sighisoara.html"]blacksmiths' tower in Sighisoara[/URL]


and this is the link to[URL="http://dracula-transylvania.blogspot.com/2007/06/blacksmiths-tower-sighisoara.html#sighisoara"] a specific paragraph in the sighisoara page[/URL]
The link looks like this: [url]http://dracula-transylvania.blogspot.com/2007/06/blacksmiths-tower-sighisoara.html#sighisoara[/url]

you re so cool, radu ...

I wish I could bug you everyday with my troubles, but I already did three times, so i guess it is time to relax

it is easy to get accustomed to other people helpin, eh ?

I wish you needed a recipe or an insight of a particular spice... What did dracula eat in his 'regular' life? Maybe I could contribute to your knowledge

bloody mary, i guess...

Thanks Zuzy,

You can "bug" me anytime, I'm glad to help when I can. If you have any other problems don't hesitate to ask.
I really don't know exactly what Vlad III Dracula was eating (except for drinking bloody mary coctails). For sure there was no junk food in the middle-ages, people in Wallachia was doing agriculture even more than in Transylvania, also hunting. There are a lot of rivers in the area, so fish should have been part of them weekly menu. Wine was largely appreciated in that part of the world, it was even part of the corronation ceremony in Wallachia (together with an olive oil prepared in Constantinopole - they where not eating the oil, just were being "oiled" - by the church heads.
However if you know more about the dishes in medieval age, I'd be happy to work with you to an article on this theme. You could host the article on your blog and I'll just write two lines and link to it for details.

[Edited]: I remembered there was a TV documentary (on Discovery Channel I think) saying that middle age food was really spicy and salty. Salty because of conservation reasons, of course.

All best,
Radu

radu,

that is sooo nice to hear, thanx. Trust me, i will not dissapoint you, I ALWAYS have a problem with my blog

So, How would I create that pretty calendar that lots of bloggers have? It should be very simple, friendly and marks all the days when I posted something (as well as current day)

I ll think about the medevial food article. Meat is not my favorite, so my knowledge in that area is similar to my tech PC knowledge (very amateur)...
On the oter hand, I looooove spices, chilies, herbs and salt, ... I am sure Vlad III. must have enjoyd at least one type of vegetable. I ll see what I can do

Well, sincerely I don't know a page using the calendar, even if I figure our how it is like. If you see one somewhere on the 'net please send me the address of the blog so that I can have a look and help you. In fact, I think I'd like to have it also on my blog .

If it is blogger offering the tool for them, we shall find a way to do it. If they use other blogging services, it might be slightly more difficult, not impossible however.

About cooking for Vlad III ...well I think you should have done some good food elsewhere you would have had problems, with the risk of becoming...his food. (just joking about this one, there are no real proofs about canibalism, just suppositions). Anyway the guy seems to have been a bad boy !

all best,
Radu
