My Template Hates Me.
I've been messing around with my template for over an hour, trying to set this blog up so I can publish links. So far no success.
I'd love to set this blog up properly- you know, a working site meter, links that actually work, all that cool stuff.
But if I spend one more minute on the template today, "Breakfast With The Pope" will never get written.
Anyone with techie advice- I'm all ears.

Since we both use Blogger, I've set up a helpful post at http://www.jeffhelp.blogspot.com to walk you through how to set up a text link. Hope it's not too introductory but I don't know your skill level
ReplyDeletehi susan. a friend has forwarded your entry about Opus Dei 101 so i visited your site.
ReplyDeleteanyway, you can also add a tagboard for your navigation bar for your visitors. you can follow the directions easily at www.tag-board.com.
and if you want to copy a format or whatever from any blogger (w/ their permission of course), you can always do a right-click on their page then "view source". i don't really know htmsl itself but somehow this has helped.
you can also get templates online. google helps on where to find them.
and i hope you don't mind me linking you up on my blogsite.
have a great weekend!
Hey bebi!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking me- and I love the photos. DIH
Hang in there....anytime you start tinkering around with templates and HTML, it takes a good chunk of your day...at least mine!
ReplyDeleteChristopher, you crack me up.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. I printed out the instructions from blogger, carefully hunted through html, which may as well have been binary code for all I understood it, and found the sidebar, it just went downhill from there. Some of the links I edited worked, some did not and still won't although they are IDENTICAL in code to the ones that do work. My links are at the bottom of the page and I can't get them to the top where they belong.
ReplyDeleteI again went to the help section, ended up having to send an e-mail for tech help, and it didn't work. Cookies are enabled, I cleaned out my cache, etc. , etc.
Maybe you and I are the type of people that can't learn from computer tutorials. We need someone to sit down and actually SHOW US in person how this stuff works.
I do not in any way mean to imply that you are clueless as I am.
Good luck, and I agree...don't mess with your template. Get someone else to mess with it for you and then everyone will be happy.
You people are giving Catholics a bad name. It's not rocket science. It's not even an encyclical.
ReplyDeleteDesperate: before you do anything to your template, cut and paste the entire thing into the word processing program of your choice (I'm all about diversity.) This will ensure that you have a back up.
Then start adding links. Just add the name of the website of your choice to the part of the link line in the template that displays the name "Google News." Then cut and paste the url to the site you want where you see the url for Google News.
THEN PRESS THE BUTTON TO PREVIEW YOUR BLOG.
If you like what you see, save it. If you don't, cancel your edits.
Shampoo, rinse, repeat.
Fortunately, mister know it all, editing html has absolutely nothing to do with Catholicism. If I had to understand code in order to get to heaven, I'd already have given up. I would daresay that if you check with other faiths, they have technically-challenged bloggers, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteSome of us just don't have your gifts. * sigh *
hi sue. thanks!
ReplyDeleteby the way, just call me elapot ;)
