Always set some attracting status message which suit to your character.

1)

If you wan to make bold , just add Astrix (*) before and after a particular word.

Eg: if you want status like below:

“The score never interested me, only the game.”

Set your status as:

“The *score* never interested me, only the game.”

2)

If you want to make it in italics, like below

“The score never interested me, only the game.”

do this:

“The score _never interested_ me, only the game.”

(dont remember the white space after _ and before _)

Also you can add Unicode character in your status. What to do is select some Unicode character from some website or here and paste on your status message . (not the Unicode number, but the character)

You can use gmail chat imoticons also as your status message

I got some more from another reader Jackie’s comment. They are:

~ @ ~ poop
[:|] robot
: ( | ) monkey
: ( : ) cow
V . v . V crab

(remove space between letters, i put space to escape from wordpress editor )

The tag blockquote in html has a special beauty than any other tags by default. And when you use blockquote in your post, it gets more meaning than merely a text.

Then what will happen if you make your blockquote more stylish.

See my blockquote below:

There are 10 kinds of people in this world….Those who understand binary and those who don’t “

How i made this type of blockquote is simple. Add the following text to your style sheet.

blockquote:first-letter {
background: url(http://www.sajithmr.com/downloads/quote-left.png) no-repeat left top;
padding-left: 45px;
font: italic 1.4em Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}

blockquote p:first-letter {
background: url(http://www.sajithmr.com/downloads/quote-left.png) no-repeat left top;
padding-left: 45px;
font:  3.4em Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}

blockquote {
font:  1.3em Georgia, Times, serif;
color: #555555;
}

the second block in not necessary. Some blogs automatically add P tag after blockquote , thats why i used blockquote “p”.
