Here's a post dedicated to these sources who and which made this blog a blog.

Firstly, the layout. It's a wordpress template converted to blogger xml by Falcon Hive (you can find other beautiful templates like this in his site). This template name is Color Paper.

Modifications done to the layout.
From annie's site BlogU, I've used (or referred to) these for this blog...
  • The Expand/Collapse feature in my posts
  • Pretty Blockquotes. I referred to this to edit the css for quote that I used for my "favourite quotes" appearance. And following that I used similar css code for the a:hover in the sidebar.
She has also introduced me to these...
"Random quotes generator" by Ramani at Hackosphere.
That's "favourite quotes" in the sidebar. I initially tried the one from annie's but I got lost when trying to edit the appearance of the quotes.

"Label Cloud" & "Feeling Lucky" (random post) by phydeaux3.

Light Box widget (an image hack) for Blogger by Max.

I added "Reactions" to blog posts by using code from here.

Divided the "featured" part to two columns. One for my latest tweets & the other for bloglist that shows updates from my other sites. Modified some code I saw from here.

---

As for the "labels" part in posts... I referred to this site to find the codes for labels. Actually I found pieces of information from everywhere but I found this site most useful to my intentions. I know there's many sites that can tell you which code is for what... but I don't have all day to search for all that. Anyway, I also found out how to modify the "comments" section from there.
edit Nov 12th, 2009: Changed my comment system. I'm using Disqus for newer posts.
edit Jan 3rd, 2022: Stopped using Disqus. I'm using the default commenting system but only those with google account can add comments. Guestbook post is here.

I also used their "Recent Posts Widget."
edit Jun 29th, 2009: Stopped using this for a while cos I can't find a place to host the .js file. I'm using the simple feed gadget (Read from here) to show my 5 recent posts. I'll miss using the beautifulbeta version though.

I learnt how to customize my twitter badge from Amanda on Blogger Buster.

In Oct 2012, my tweets stopped appearing. Apparently, the url for the API was changed (?)... the new url is like this (as posted by @quantitsearch here...)
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/youraccountname.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=4

---

Starting from March 29th 2012, I changed the language my blog template uses to Japanese. For convenience, I renamed the navigation links at the end to "Previous-Home-Next" instead of the original name in japanese. I used this site as my reference.

----

QR code was created from using KAYWA's QR code generator. I saved the image & uploaded to my own virtual space.

----
I'm using Kaomoji since 19-Sept-2019. In the process of replacing in all blog posts that use smilies/emoticons images. ガン(゚д゚)ガレ

The site I'm using is Kaomoji Station (japanese).

Smilies/Emoticons are from these sites.
*I didn't hotlink them, you have to upload the images on your own web space.*
"AniKaos.com"
I used [mostly] onigiris, peas, onions and floating blobs [emoticons].

"Smilchat.net"
Many beautiful smilies/emoticons here. I mostly used their japanese kaos here.

"planet smilies"
This one allows hotlinking. Used some from here.

There's some animated emoticons  that I don't know its source except from a forward e-mail I received in my inbox. I can't resist to use because it's SOOOO cute!!! If you know where or who should I credit it to please leave your comments in this post.
[Apr 16th edit] I found it! It's Tuzki - Bunny!!! Then the credits go to the creator - Wang Mo Mo!

Tuzki Bunny is officially my favourite emoticon! You can find more (& newer) here. [dead link!]
