The_MoUsY_spell_checker's Advice Column

About The_MoUsY_spell_checker

I first signed up because I saw really simple computer questions with no answers, and I just had to answer them. Today, my column still has more answers to questions about computers than anything else, but feel free to ask about anything. I can follow up on questions too.

I have been the featured columnist on 16 October 2005, 01 May 2006, 18 December 2007, 12 July 2008, 02 February 2009, 08 March 2009, 24 May 2009, 29 September 2009, 12 November 2009, 05 January 2010, 06 January 2010, and 26 April 2010.

By the way, here's a Facebook group for Advicenators users: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=3174690640

Hey could someone PLEASE tell me where I can get music URLs for my xanga?? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Find the music that you want (You can use Kazaa or anything like that) and upload it. Get hosting at freewebs.com if you don't already have any webspace.

Ok, well I want to make my own website. I got help by this website.(Thanks advicenators!) I have url.Now the problem is HOW DO YOU GET STUFF ON YOUR WEBSITE!!! I don't have a backround or anything. My website is askmeny4u.cjb.net and if you go to it and you see nothing and if you think your computer is fucked,it's not.My website is a blank screen. They may drop me from their url and i'll be back to square one.

Go to upload.cjb.net and upload something. You will have to make the pages on your computer first. You can use Notepad for the pages and Paint for images.
Go to lissaexplains.com or draac.com if you need HTML help.

I was on AIM the last night and some guy IMed me from my school and started harrassing me calling me a slut and a bitch... stupid stuff like that. My friend's dad is a cop and I asked him what I should do since this was not the first nor the second time it has happened to me. He told me that I could find out his IP address. If I didn't know who he was, there was nothing they could do about it unless I knew who he was. Does anyone know how I can find out who this guy is and how I find his IP? Thank you so much if you can help!

Generally, instant messaging programs do not allow users to find out each other's IP addresses for security reasons...

I suggest you try to report the abuse to AIM staff, and hopefully they will ban his account... He can probably create another account, but hopefully he won't make one account after another just to annoy you, and AIM might be able to ban his IP for repeat offenses if he does...

Im trying to find a site that has SCROLL BARS! That match my ADVICE COLUMN thingy its PINK! And i tryed every code to fit into my site. If you have a scroll bar thing in your Advice Column let me know. I need to find a WEBSITE :( Please help me... If you do ill give you ratings!!! and a great comments!!! and thank you soo much...

As far as I know, the only way to get coloured scroll bars is with CSS...
<style type="text/css">
body
{scrollbar-face-color : #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-highlight-color : #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-3dlight-color : #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-shadow-color : #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color : #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-track-color : #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-arrow-color : #FFFFFF;}
</style>
Change "#FFFFFF" to the hex code of any colour you like, and put the code in the "Describe yourself or your column or whatever else you want the world to know:" in your profile (Unless you have a custom style that you can edit, in this case put it directly in the style)...
WARNING: This can mess up your profile, use at your own risk...
Also, people who aren't using Internet Explorer won't see it...

If any of you have a journal at www.greatestjournal.com, i was wondering... when you post comments in someone else's journal, how do you make ur font small and a certain color? usually its just black and verdana i think, but ive seen some peoples fonts and they are cute. thanks =)

Use HTML... <font face="name of font" size="size"> Obviously, replace "name of font" with the actual name of the font and "size" with the size you want (it should be a number)

You will need to edit the HTML code in the column style that you're using... Only paid accounts can create new styles, so if you don't have a paid account or any styles that you've created, you won't be able to change it...

Use CSS... More information about CSS can be found on http://www.draac.com, or you can search for CSS help on Google...
View Question


can anyone explain this to me?

(Note: HTML is allowed except for the and tags. Other tags can just plain screw up your page... we do NOT offer support for people who mess things up because they use non-text elements in their bio.)

I just don't get it...I was trying to put a cursor in my column but it didn't work :o(

If you want a cursor you can try using CSS, but the code is non-standard (so I don't recommend it) and people who are not using Internet Explorer (like me) will not see it...

I'm going to be a barbie for halloween... what are some good ideas... (hair, outfit, makeup) that would go with that? Thank you!

What kind of Barbie? There are many different kinds of Barbie, I assume you mean the basic Barbie? (if not, go to a toy shop or barbie.com to see what the Barbie you want to dress up as looks like)

If you want to dress up as the most common type of Barbie, you will need:
-Make up: blue eye shadow, pink blush (not too bright), red lipstick, blonde hairspray if your hair isn't blonde (although you might prefer to wear a wig)
-Clothes and accessories: T-shirt and skirt, (pink with flowers or the Barbie logo is especially good), plain round earrings, shoes with high heels (you might want really high heels to look really tall like Barbie)

Im tall like not gigantic but im bout 5 6' and im 14 and im not even 100 pounds i dont have an eating disorder i just have always been really skinny cuz i have a good metabolism. How can I gain weight so people will stop making fun of me and i'll feel better about myself?

Weight lifting will help you build bigger muscles, that will make you weight more... Make sure you eat enough proteins...

Any kind of exercise will help, so do something you like...

Remember that sitting down too much will make your stomach bigger, especially if you sit down right after eating, so don't do that...

okay, me and my best friend have this journal that we write in almost everyday and we give it back and forth to eacohther, etc..well its been like a week and we cant find it...we always keep it in our back packs n stuff and we think that one of our guy friends took it..hes just like a girlfriend to us, hes the only guy we hang out with etc..it has ALOT of personal stuff in it, and we have talked about our friends in it too..he did it be4 but only kept it for like an hour and it was a joke..we confronted him about it but he sware that he didnt take it but we still think he did..thers so much dirt in there!!! whut should we do

If you tell someone with authority you might get it back, but you'll get him in trouble and he might not want to be your friend any more, and what if he really didn't take it?

This is obvious, but be more careful next time!

See my friend (who ewveryone is tryin to hook me up with) is blonde hair blue eyes, is into drawing, art, japanese animation, and dresses like me, i mean not gurl pants and clothes but like the arm band necklace and all, and he is the same age and on the other side i am a brunette, brown eyes, and i love all the things he does. Im just wondering if I should dye my hair all the way blonde, and get blue contacts, because Im stupid and like no offense but like ive always loved blondes and wanted to be one, fav color blue, but im not shur if he would like it. Should I change?

Change for yourself, not for anyone else... If you want to change, change! If he's a real friend he wouldn't care...

Im falling in love with my best friend. I dont want to ruin our relationship, but i really want to be more than friends with her. We talked about it briefly, and she says she doesnt want to be, but she acts totally like she does. i dotn want to rush things, i just dont know if these feelings are true, or if i should be feeling them. help. im 18 m n shes 18 f

It's normal to like your best friend... If she doesn't want to be more than just friends, just stay friends for a while and see how it goes...
