Removing Border and Shadow from Selected Images in Blogger Dynamic View

Previously, I wrote a tutorial on how you can remove borders and shadows from your pictures, in a Dynamic View template. The tweak applies to all the pictures in your blog. Blog reader Filipe wants to know if it is possible to remove borders and shadows from a single image alone, instead of applying the tweak to all images. Yes, it is possible, and here's how.

Blogger Dynamic View Picture Menu

 
Two weeks ago, I showed a simple way to use pictures as your tab menu, instead of using the conventional plain old text.

Also, it won't work on IE8 and earlier versions of IE (will work on IE9).

How to Install DAHDI for Asterisk

Note: This is a non-Blogger related post

Some of my friends have asked me how to install DAHDI on Linux based system. I was thinking of writing an email, but decided to immortalize the information by blogging about it instead.

The Debian virtual disk image that you guys have copied from campus network does not come with DAHDI pre-installed. In this post, I'm gonna show you guys how you can install DAHDI on your Debian. I've tried the installation on Fedora 16, and it works fine as well. Feel free to try it on other Linux distribution.
