It was a HUGE hack I did to make the image work.
I copied in the html code from my blogger account
And learnt about < b r / > tag.
then lots of tweaking.

Spamlets - Spam Can Be Fun​

Spam is undoubtedly one of the biggest nuisance on the web. It’s everywhere - its in your mailbox, its in your blog comments, its there on social bookmarking sites and so on. While spam filters continue to wage their war against spam, spammers are getting creative - often with hilarious results. A twitter hash-tag service spamlet collects all such spam messages for your viewing pleasure.

Here are some of the gems I came across :

• did you know that the big bang theory started with my big bad bazooka?
• Upgrade your hardware now. Small men, do not give up hope, your time is here right here.
• A key from her bedroom is in your pants”
• enlarge your pole with wonder pills
• power in your pants
• Victory is yours when its big
• Tiny droopy dingdong requires a massive correction with herbs.
• Big Ben just got bigger and I am enjoying every inch of it.

Oh. Thanks for pointing to your blog. I got the configuration from Pathik. If you've read the post on my blog I've mentioned that the configuration is by Pathik.

Well, it's quite similar but not exactly similar. Anyway I want to tell you & others that I do not copy & paste others' work. If I do come across an article which I like from other website I copy a part of it as a quote & put a link pointing to that blog or website.

Don't you think any person with the slightest know-how about hardware would select the same config? Considering the budget range and other variables? Don't accuse people like that.

Thanks Pathik for clearing up this mess.

I never directly accused hum.
I just asked for a conformation.
Because recently, that page in my blog got an unusually high number of visits.
No war intended.

 

[goobimama]

Yeah well including the sarcastic smiley and posting it on a public forum doesn't exactly qualify as asking for confirmation.

^^this theme (Garland) is teh best, i was using it on my wordpress.com blog

If you wanted to confirm you could have sent me a PM. Leveling baseless allegations on a public forum is not a way to confirm, Sir. I felt humiliated by your post. There is something called reputation. It's like calling someone a thief.

Yeah well including the sarcastic smiley and posting it on a public forum doesn't exactly qualify as asking for confirmation.

To add to it there was a comment by MHG on my blog, which still is unapproved by me.

Recalling the Bill Gates era

Bill Gates- the man with a vision & a legend is retiring today, leaving behind his legacy. He will still be the Chairman of Microsoft but will now be spending more time guiding Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Mr. Bill Gates was the man with both technical & business management skills and I wonder if Microsoft will be able to dominate the software industry in the hands of Steve Ballmer? I am not so sure and I guess only time will tell the future of Microsoft.
