First off, let me say that when it comes to computer-ese I am completely not fluent (heck, sometimes I can barely speak English!). I mean seriously. What is HTML? What is a widget? What's with all the <, >, px, &, = "true"/"false" stuff? I have no idea what any of it means, but I am proud of myself because I was able to manipulate the HTML on my blog and fix some things that were bugging me.
For instance, the header. I don't know if anyone else is bugged by the fact that the pictures go outside the border on the right side, but I was. I resized my picture so many times thinking the problem was me. It wasn't (I should have known better). I found the part in the HTML code that dealt with the header and fixed it. Yea! Now my picture is completely inside the border and I was at peace. Until I looked at my playlist.
I was so irritated that my playlist was too big for the sidebar. I saw someone else's and hers wasn't so I knew it was possible. First, I searched for info on how to resize the playlist, but when I tried it it didn't work. Bummer. So, I made my main blog part a little wider. The playlist still didn't fit so I moved it to the bottom of my blog, but I didn't like it there. I swear it took me over an hour of messing with the code (and copying and repasting it over and over again after I had completely botched it up) to get it to fit. But I did it. I made it narrower and taller. Then I decided to figure out how to get rid of those links at the bottom of the playlist. More cutting, previewing, copying and repasting, but I figured it out.
Next, I tackled the pyzam link at the top. Serously, that thing is UGLY and has bugged me since I got the code for my background. Well, I found that info in the HTML and deleted it. Bye-bye pyzam link and orange-eyesore-of-a-bar at the top of my blog. I am now satisfied with the layout of my blog. Well, until I see something else screwy.

Wow! I'm impressed. The header on my blog bothers me so much that it goes outside of the border. I tried resizing it for FOREVER, too. Now I know what to do. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAllison-I made my header width 675 and that seems to be just right.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it--beautiful!! You have more patience than I do to figure things out. I might be asking you for some advice soon. : )
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You're pretty good for someone who claims not to be! I might have some questions for you too.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you don't know what you are doing. I have to admit the picture out of the box thing kind of bugs me too and that's why I haven't put one on my page.
