Valentine's Day is one of those times of year that seem to pull at the hearts of romantics everywhere. It is a time where you can show your love to that special someone in your life. It also signifies a time of change as the long winter begins to dissipate replaced by the thoughts of spring and change. As I started looking around for graphics for Valentine's Day I was quickly overwhelmed to the point that instead of creating a Valentine's-based theme I ended up creating four separate ones. This is the fourth theme, the first was Valentine's Day Theme 1, the second was Valentine's Day Theme 2, and the third was Valentine's Day Theme 3.

Recently Plurk made changes to their User Interface by enlarging several of the graphic elements within the dashboard area. This startled several members who immediately began looking for a way to resize the image to something slightly more manageable. During the incurring scramble to find a solution many users came up with creative ways of fixing the code. Thanks goes out to Plurk Layouts and Olivia Bell for first documenting the friends/fans elements so that a solution could be created. The first change was to the user's avatar image which increased in size by nearly 3 times. The second graphical change was in the Friends and Fans section. The user icons in those sections likewise received a size boost going from 25 pixels to 40 pixels. Users again were up in arms as the larger icons took up screen real estate. This tutorial has been written to provide you with the code necessary to change both of these image sizes as well as to center the icons within the Friends and Fans section.

One of the most influential products to come out has been the Apple iPod. It has revolutionized the way people listen to music. The iPod has taken many shapes and sizes. One of the most popular has been the Nano which uses flash memory storage and is razor thin. Looking at my daughter's iPod Nano I thought it would make a great subject for a Plurk theme.
