Do you want an animated plurk layout? I mean a plurk layout which is full of animations everywhere. You can add the animations onto the 20 different places of your plurk layout :
1 - Add an animation on Time Span. (When you use your mouse to point on a plurk, it will shows the time of the plurk and the animation at the bottom there).
2 - Add an animation on Day Span. (The animation will appear 1 time per day. So every 24 hours will have 1 animation).


3 - Add an animated submit button. (After you finish type a message, you will click this submit button to plurk the message).
4 - Add an animation beside the "response count number" on every plurk.
5 - Add an animation beside the "..." on every plurk. (The ... will appear when the plurk message is too long).
6 - Add 1st type of animated loading screen. (This loading screen will appear when you press "f5" to refresh your page, and when you search something with the "search" feature).
7 - Add 2nd type of animated loading screen. (This loading screen will appear when you click on a plurk to load the responds).
8 - Add the animated left and right buttons at the corner there.
9 - Add the animated "Back To Today" button on both left and right corner.
10 - Replace plurk creature with an animation.
11 - Replace mouse cursor with an animation.
12 - Add an animation on the title.
13 - Add an animation at the top left corner.
14 - Spin/rotate the emoticon when the mouse cursor is pointing on it (Working on Safari and Google Chrome only). Watch the video below for demo :

15 - Spin/rotate the pictures of friend lists and fan lists when the mouse cursor is pointing on it.
16 - Spin/rotate the plurk badges when the mouse cursor is pointing on it.
17 - Add an animation to body background.

19 - Add blue aura to plurk border when mouse cursor pointing on it.

You can view the demo at : http://plurk.com/Zac1987.

Now I am going to guide you how to add those animations onto your plurk layout. Before we start, you need to know how to go into your plurk layout css editor. Please click "edit" button which is on the right side of "My Profile" at the top left corner. Then click "Customize profile" tab. Then you will see the long long long css codes inside the box, the box is your css editor. We are going to modify or add in new codes inside the css editor box.

Please go to your css editor to copy all the code, then paste all the code onto a notepad file, save the notepad file for backup purpose.

Please prepared the animation that you want to add onto your plurk layout. Here are some of my animation collections : http://ye5.blogspot.com/2010/12/animations-without-background-no.html, you can pick the animation from there to add onto your plurk layout.

Later when you are editing the codes, you need to type in the width and height of your animation. In case you don't know how to check the width and height of your animation, you better learn it now :
1 - You can download and save the animation to your computer, then right click on the animation on your computer, then choose "Properties", then click "Details", then you will see the dimensions : 90px x 60px. The "90px" is width and the "60px" is height.
2 - If you are using Mozilla Firefox, you just need to right click on the animation, then choose "View Image Info", then you will see the dimensions.
3 - If you are using Internet Explorer, you just need to right click on the animation and choose "Properties", then you will see the dimensions.

After you got the link of your animation, you can start edit the code in your css editor :
