We do see many of them chats with shorten words, symbols, smileys and more to tell in short form. Now its a time of zero typing where image speaks a lot more than words. Let us imagine there is a colorful animated new year greeting post where you like to greet the author the same way.You know greeting pictures speak Louder than words,so you too created a splendor greeting picture for the blog author but the blog restrict you to post images. Then?

Of course, Blogger.com restrict the readers to post images in their comments column.We know It is possible to posts picture comment in wordpress blogs by adding just <img> tags. then what is the solution for the blogger's blogspot? Here I introduce new javascript which try to minimize the maximum extend of this restriction. and be aware of it that it doesn't work in script disabled browsers.
