Answer 1

This is actually done using Javascript which is a scripting language that allows the browser to run code that can interact with items on web pages. The code is placed directly into your page along with your HTML code. It is then triggered using events like a button click or when your mouse hovers over an item.

This rollover effect is actually pretty easy to implement and doesn't require a large script or lengthy installation procedures. Start small and with something simple and then grow it from there and you will be fine. Below I have put a few links to help you get started on putting rollovers on your blog.

Enjoy!
