Blogumus Feel the Roll a!!
Blogumus Feel the Roll a!!
Blogumus is a kind of web plugin made for blogger (adopting wp-cumulus). As you can see on my sidebar, blogusmus provide an artistic way in managing our blog’s tags, links, categories, etc. When we hover the mouse through it, the menu listed will roll up, down, right, or left, then stop depend on the mouse’s arrow. Originally, blogumus is converted from wordpress to blogger by Amanda Fazani. This is a little explanation about blogumus taken from her blog:"Blogumus" is an Flash based tag cloud widget which uses scripts converted from Roy Tancks WP Cumulus plugin for Wordpress. I fell in love with Roys original Cumulus plugin when I saw it, and simply had to learn how to convert this for use in Blogger powered blogs."
Actually, although there are so many explanations, information, and also copy-pasted postings about blogumus/wp-cumulus, there still no explanation that describe by detail the way Roy Tanck made wp-cumulus. I do really want to know how to combine a flash-based animation with sophisticated script that links the rolling text with the related URL. What an original!!
As we know, blogumus makes our blog more artistic, fresh designed, and also dynamic-looked. However, it doesn’t provide an ‘open link in new tab’ service. So, if we want to use blogumus/wpcumulus, the consequence is that we will busy in ‘back-forward’-ing the window.
How to Install?This is an example script made by Amanda Fazani to install blogumus in our blog (blogger):
First, search (CTRL + F) this script on ‘layout > edit HTML’ section on your blog:
<b:section class=sidebar id=sidebar preferred=yes>
Based on amanda’s blog, there still a problem with her blogumus; i.e. the links doesn’t work. Actually Amanda had updated the script (the above script is the newest one). However, if you still face any problem about blogcumulus, you can tell me by directly comment this post, or visit Amanda’s blog for detail and accurate explanation.
