Link Tooltip
i wonder how you make the text thingy appear when you mouse over a link (text or image) then the text thing appears - like when i mouse over buttermilk cloud the text "my new blog" appears under the hand icon in a square box.
That is a tool-tip that displays when you move your cursor over the link. It is created with a simple little change to the link code.
<a href="http://buttermilkclouds.blogspot.com/" title="My Food Blog">Buttermilk Clouds</a>That code will make this link: Buttermilk Clouds. Just change the URL, title text (where I have My Food Blog) and what is displayed.
Go ahead, test it by hovering the cursor over the link!

Hi first time on your blog, your tip for tool tip:) worked for me , thank you very much! I have a food blog "www.rvkitchentreats.blogspot.com" where I have used your tip:) Hope you would visit sometime:)
I'm a big fan of your blog. I've learned to do so many things here! I have a question about this post, though. I want to add this effect to the links I have listed on the side of my page, but I don't know how to access the HTML template to do it, since I have the new blogger and all of the links are in one of the "page element" sections, so i can't change the HTML. Any ideas? Thanks!
@Chrissy, I have often wondered that myself. I am going to have to see if there is a way. If I figure it out, I will do a post on it.
Sweet! Thanks so much.
how about this tooltips?

Thanks
it's a great tip ,but can we change the color of the tip that appears and would like to know how you did it for your blog cloud(number of posts it has gets displayed on hovering mouse )
@t4-trix My Category Cloud...finally and I don't think you can change the tooltips color.
t4-trix, you cannot change the color of tooltips.
Working on urls are both interesting and very challenging but at the moment I just checked the buttermilk clouds blog and its awesome, I love the pots!! Checking out the buttermilk bog made sense about the link tool tip as well.
