Add colourful wordings, videos, smilies, links to your Orkut profile and scraps

I have been getting many emails from my readers (who read my about me section in Orkut) about how to write colorful letters in orkut profile and scarps?
We had thought that this is a small thing that almost everybody using orkut will be knowing. But to our surprise many people wanted to know about it, so here we go:-

Scraps to friends
Now, you can paste in photos, videos, audio, and flash widgets in scraps to your friends. Here’s how:
Add images

  • Copy and paste urls ending in .jpg, .gif, .png or .bmp and the image will appear in the scrap.
    for example, http://example.com/example.jpg
  • Add videos from YouTube:
    Copy and paste the url and the video will appear in the scrap.
    for example, http://youtube.com/watch?v=videoid
  • Add podcast/audio:
    Copy and paste the url of an audio file and an audio player will appear in the scrap.
    for example, http://example.com/example.mp3
  • Add html-embeddable objects:
    Create or upload your content at sites such as photobucket.com, imageshack.com, rockyou.com or slide.com. Copy and paste the html embed code to share it with your friends.
