Blog Template

Post by Silkie »

I appear to have a minor bugette in my blog template (Collegiate, I think?) in that although the maroon titlebar "Plain Sailing?" is always centred across the page, the "About Me" box is sometimes centred and sometimes left justified.

Compare Silkie's First Sail of the Season where it is centred with My First Sail of the Season where it is left justified.

Wotcha gonna do about it then? Don't think you can fob me off with any of yer "I'll look into it in due course" nonsense. I want it centred and I want it centred now!

Hope you and Donald didn't mind me "borrowing" some of your photies.

Nothing wrong with the template, but the photos you have posted have exceeded the designed template width in example 2.

If you keep photies to 700 pixels wide or less this shouldn't be a problem.

Sorreee!

Thanks Nick - all sorted now. You did me a favour really since one of the things that was annoying me about the Chentleman's Cruise report was the different sized photies but I couldn't be bothered to sort it!

Just one other little thing...

Is it possible to set clickable links to open in a new window? I personally tend to expect that this will be the case and close the linked window without thinking after viewing, resulting in the loss of the blog window when the link hasn't opened a new one. Handy also, frinstance, for those who don't know our home waters to be able to keep the big map open.

Clickable links opening in new windae

Post by Nick »

Requires going into HTML view in the editor and adding "TARGET="_new" to the <A HREF> statement.

e.g.

<A href="http://www.keelhaul.demon.co.uk/pics/mull2.jpg">

needs to be changed to

<A href="http://www.keelhaul.demon.co.uk/pics/mull2.jpg" TARGET="_new">

Have a go and let me know if it works.
