<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<div style='float:left;margin-left:12px;'>
<a href="javascript:popw='';Q='';x=document;y=window;if(x.selection) {Q=x.selection.createRange().text;} else if (y.getSelection) {Q=y.getSelection();} else if (x.getSelection) {Q=x.getSelection();}popw = y.open('http://www.blogger.com/blog_this.pyra?t=' + escape(Q) + '&u=' + escape(location.href) + '&n=' + escape(document.title),'bloggerForm','scrollbars=no,width=475,height=300,top=175,left=75,status=yes,resizable=yes');if (!document.all) T = setTimeout('popw.focus()',50);void(0);">BlogThis!</a>

Can I make a new page in blogger that removes the side bar stuff? - Blogger Help:

I have a few custom pages, and they all contain the right column stuff. Is there a way I can make a page that removes the right column stuff, so I can use the full width of the blog on the new page? Having new pages behave the same as blog posts, really limits what you can do with them.

Selectively style them using conditional tags:

Crossfading Images | CSS3 transitions, transforms and animations

Crossfading Images | CSS3 transitions, transforms and animations:

Demo 1 - One image to another, on hover (transitions)

Plan

Put one image on top of the other
Change the opacity of the top image on hover

Demo

Code

First up, the HTML markup. Without CSS enabled, you just get two images. Remember to add alt text for production use.

 id="cf">
	 class="bottom" src="/tests/images/Stones.jpg" />
	 class="top" src="/tests/images/Summit.jpg" />

Then the CSS:

#cf {
	position:relative;
	height:281px;
	width:450px;
	margin:0 auto;	
}
#cf img {
	position:absolute;
	left:0;
	-webkit-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
	-moz-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
	-o-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
	-ms-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;	
	transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
}

#cf img.top:hover {
	opacity:0;
}

Demo 2 - One image to another, when a button is pressed (transitions)

Plan

Same as before, but instead of using the :hover pseudo class, we are going to use javascript to add a toggle a class. I'm using jQuery here because it's easy to understand, though you could just use plain old JS.

Demo

Click me to toggle

Code

First up, the HTML markup. Again, with no CSS enabled, you just get two images.

 id="cf2" class="shadow">
	 class="bottom" src="/tests/images/Stones.jpg" />
	 class="top" src="/tests/images/Summit.jpg" />

 id="cf_onclick">Click me to toggle

Then the CSS. I've added a class with the opacity value.

#cf2 {
	position:relative;
	height:281px;
	width:450px;
	margin:0 auto;
}
#cf2 img {
	position:absolute;
	left:0;
	-webkit-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
	-moz-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
	-o-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
	-ms-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;	
	transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
}

#cf2 img.transparent {
	opacity:0;
}
#cf_onclick {
	cursor:pointer;
}

Then the extremely short JS. Note that the browser is smart enough to realise that it can animate to the new properties, I didn't have to set them in javascript (thought that works too).

$(document).ready(function() {
	$("#cf_onclick").click(function() {
		$("#cf2 img.top").toggleClass("transparent");
	});
});

Have a look at the multiple image demo to see how to extend this idea to more than two images.

Demo 3 - One image to another with a timer (Webkit/Firefox 5/IE10 only, transitions and animations)

Plan

You could implement this by using Javascript to toggle classes with a delay - that would allow older browsers to still have the images change. As we are looking forward though, we'll use CSS keyframes.

Start with demo 1
Use CSS keyframes to define two states, one with top image transparent, one with it opaque.
Set the animations number of iterations to infinite.

Demo

Each image is visible for 9 seconds before fading to the other one.

Code

Everything's the same as Demo 1, but I've added this to the CSS and removed the hover selector

@keyframes cf3FadeInOut {
	0% {
		opacity:1;
	}
	45% {
		opacity:1;
	}
	55% {
		opacity:0;
	}
	100% {
		opacity:0;
	}
}

#cf3 img.top {
	animation-name: cf3FadeInOut;
	animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;
	animation-iteration-count: infinite;
	animation-duration: 10s;
	animation-direction: alternate;
}

To make sense of that, I've defined 4 keyframes, specified that whatever has this animation attached will be opaque for the first 45%, then transparent for the last 45%. The animation will repeat forever, will last 10 seconds, and will run forward then backwards. In other words, image 1 will be visible for 4.5 seconds, followed by a 1 second fade, followed by 4.5 seconds of image 2 being visible. Then it will reverse, meaning that image 1 and 2 will both be visible for 9 (4.5 x 2) seconds each time.

Demo with multiple images

Staggering the animations can result in a multiple image fader.

This time I've created an animation that goes from 0 to 1 opacity, then staggered the animations so only one is visible at once. It's not great, but it is maybe a start. Any suggestions on how to make this better would be gladly received!

	#cf4a img:nth-of-type(1) {
 		animation-delay: 0;		
	}
	#cf4a img:nth-of-type(2) {
 		animation-delay: 2s;		
	}
	#cf4a img:nth-of-type(3) {
 		animation-delay: 4s;		
	}
	#cf4a img:nth-of-type(4) {
 		animation-delay: 6s;		
	}

Demo 4 - More than just fades

This technique isn't limited to just fades, you can animate almost every property. Here are a couple of examples.

Zooming in and out

Hover on the image

Rotation

Hover on the image

Demo 5 - Animating the background-image property

Right now this only works on webkits built from 2012 onwards. It's not part of the spec (yet?).

Plan

Make a div with a width and height
Change the background-image property

Demo

Code

This only works on Chrome 18+ and on Webkit Nightlies built in 2012 onwards. It seems to be a side effect of the CSS4 crossfading work, though this is a lot more useful.

 id="cf6_image" class="shadow">

Then the CSS:

#cf6_image {
	margin:0 auto;		
	width:450px;
	height:281px;
	transition: background-image 1s ease-in-out;
	
	background-image:url("/images/Stones.jpg");
}

#cf6_image:hover {
	background-image:url("/images/Summit.jpg");		
}

Pretty cool - this can easily be extended by simply changing the background-image property with JS, and makes things much much simpler. I'm not sure if this behaviour is part of the spec or not, and I haven't seen support anywhere other than in the afore mentioned browsers.
For a slightly more detailed example, have a look at a simple gallery using filters and fades.
