LOGO MAKER Cheated (sort of)

For those who can’t afford to buy some expensive software such as Logo Maker, I’ll teach you how to make your own logo with this trial logo maker software. You just have to download and install the software first into your system.Click this to download AAA LOGO MAKER Trial Version.

Once you installed the software properly, you can now use it, but remember, its is just the trial software.


Run AAA Logo Maker, a window will open and it will look like this



There’s plenty of templates to choose from, just click the “next page “ button and another four new templates design will open, choose one that suits your taste. When you already decided which template to use, click it to begin your project. You can also start a blank project which I will explain later.

I will be using this template for now to make my own logo:



Once you selected the above template, your window will now look like this:



There are four (4) objects for this logo which you can always edit based on the appearance that you want. The four objects are:

  1. The “WORLWIDE” text;
  2. The “TECHNOLOGIES” text;
  3. The “LOGO TAGLINE AT THE BOTTOM” text, and;
  4. The Map

Let’s edit first the ‘WORLDWIDE” text, click it so that your window will look like this:



To change the text, text color, text font, etc., click the “TEXT” button:



The “Basic text options” for WORLDWIDE will now appear:



You can now edit the “TEXT LINE” (to change the text), the “TEXT FONT”, the “FONT SIZE”, the “COLOR”, “CHARACTER SPACING” and the “ASPECT RATIO”. You can do the same for the “TECHNOLOGIES” text and the “LOGO TAGLINE AT THE BOTTOM” text,


Now, let’s edit the “MAP” object:



Select the object by clicking. You can change the object by selecting one of the (many) objects available:



There are plenty of objects to choose from, just click the arrows:



You can also edit the “IMAGE”, “SHAPE”, “EFFECTS”, “GRADIENT” and “COLORS” by clicking any of these buttons:



Once you are now satisfied with your Logo design, you can now save it. But remember, this is only a trial version of the software so by clicking any of the options under the file tab will only prompt you to buy the full version of their product.



So here’s the trick:

  1. Press “Print Screen SysRq” on your keyboard;
  2. Open the Paint program or any photo editing software installed in your system;
  3. Press Ctrl + V

Your window will now look like this:



Select the box where your “Logo” is located, right click then select “cut”. To select, click this button on paint:



Open a new Paint document, then paste (Ctrl +V) the selected box where your logo is located, your new paint document will now look like this:



Now, to remove the “DEMO VERSION” text on the background, lets copy and paste the above image on MICROSOFT PUBLISHER. Open any publication on MICROSOFT PUBLISHER, then paste the image:


Right click on the image to show the “PICTURE TOOLBAR”:



With the right combination of brightness and contrast, the “DEMO VERSION” text on the background will disappear:



And your logo will now look like this:


To save as image, right click, select “SAVE AS PICTURE”:



(We can also edit the image on MICROSOFT WORD but you can save the image as a document only, not as a JPEG File or any other picture/image format.)

To start a blank project,(lets go back to the AAA Logo Maker), just click the “NEW BLANK PROJECT”:




Then start working on your new logo without using the default templates.

How to install music widget into your blog

On this feature, you have to create two accounts on two separate hosts. This time , I used Fileden.com, as the data storage (for your music file) and loudfusion.com for the widget.
Create an account first on Fileden.com to store your music file (song), it would be on fileden where you will generate the direct URL tag (that you will be used later on loudfusion).Once you created your account, upload your music files by clicking the upload button.



You can use Batch Uploading if you are uploading a many files to save time. You need a stable internet connection for your files to be uploaded properly. I would suggest that you use their old file uploader rather than the new one.


Once your file is uploaded, generate direct URL tag,( I would again suggest to use their old file bowser)





by selecting your file (put a check on the box beside your music file)




and selecting the "Generate Direct URL and (IMG) Tag " from the drop down list box.



A new window will open. Click the "Direct URL tab" to generate the code.




Another window will open, copy the code this time, or simply click the "Copy to Clipboard" button




log in to Loudfusion (be sure that you have created an account on loudfusion) and paste the code.

Next post na lang yung paglalagay ng kanta sa loudfusion at kung pano gawin o i-generate ang code para sa widget.

How to install visitor counter into your blog using (Statcounter)

To install a visitor counter into your blog, just follow these simple steps. (I'm recommending Statcounter because it is the one i'm using for this feature)

1. Go to Statcounter.com and create an account.
2. Once you confirmed your account (most sites would send a confirmation e-mail to you to, well, basically, confirm the account that you just created on their site), log-in to Statcounter.
3. Click the "ADD PROJECT BUTTON".
4. Follow the instructions and copy the code.
5. Log in to your blogger account.
6. Select your blog, click "layout", then click the "add page element button" or "add gadget" then select "add HTML".
7. A pop-up window will appear, name your new page element (e.g. visitor, visitor counter) then paste your code from statcounter (see step 4).
8. Save and view your blog.

Notes: Pwede mong i-customize ang apperance ng iyong ginawang statcounter, depende sa gusto mong laki, liit o kulay ng mga numero. Iwanang blangko ang mga option at gamitin ang default setting kung hindi sigurado.
