From what I've read in the link you provided, I need to go in and find a way to hide the element ("h1 display:none", or something like that). It's entirely possible that I'm just being dense (and I'll have lots more of that going on shortly, as I attempt to put a website together).Dawn Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878588090733942606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760967123218143470.post-21947037988986762942007-01-08T13:31:00.000-08:002007-01-08T13:31:00.000-08:00Dawn: Not sure if you tried, but try going to "Edi...Dawn: Not sure if you tried, but try going to "Edit" the old header element and then click on "REMOVE PAGE ELEMENT".Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489993293956077552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760967123218143470.post-80195041219460761382007-01-08T11:04:00.000-08:002007-01-08T11:04:00.000-08:00Ender: I’d tried using Cool Text to make a graphic...Ender: I’d tried using <a href=http://cooltext.com/>Cool Text</a> to make a graphic title, added it as a picture, and then couldn’t delete the title from the other header element.

They go away when I dump my cookies. It has to do with the buttons taking up all the available space in the navigation header, and then when the edit-element icon is thrown in there, there’s not enough room. I’ll remove the filler image, which should fix the problem for now. I’m still not happy with the buttons either, so when I redo them I’ll design them to mesh with a background color, thus eliminating the need for a filler image.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489993293956077552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760967123218143470.post-2599214030826568402007-01-06T14:42:00.000-08:002007-01-06T14:42:00.000-08:00The top navigation bar [home, contribute, profiles...The top navigation bar [home, contribute, profiles, rss/atom etc] appears cut-off on my screen - like the fonts too big, or the space too small to accomodate it.<br /><br />Dunno if this is a universal problem, or if my computers having a display glitch or something, but I thought I'd mention it.TenaciousKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329335294478431462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760967123218143470.post-68314296718421689322007-01-05T16:09:00.000-08:002007-01-05T16:09:00.000-08:00swit (and y’all):

I’d like to sell twiffer and any other regular commenters (or neighbors) on the idea of joining for the sake of avoiding word verification as well.<br /><br />Regarding the look, I’ve been in the mood of late and still have some fine tuning to do. If you have a particular online publication in mind, or examples of “looks” you like, by all means link to them so I can get a visual. I’m feeling rather capable at the moment.<br /><br />Lastly, regarding exposure, I’ve taken zero advantage of the multitude of tools and services available to bloggers. Perhaps we could all do a little <a href="http://wikifray.blogspot.com/2006/11/nothing-endures-but-change.html">community service</a> from time to time? <br /><br />twiffer: You raise an issue that I struggle with (re: font). The actual font is the same (Veranda), and my tastes tend toward smaller, tighter text. To be honest, I’ve pushed it as small and tight as I think I can get away with. But I’d be interested to hear from others if I’ve gone too far. There are three variables: Font, Font Size and Line Height. I can change and up them no problem. So, anyone else with twiffer on this?Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489993293956077552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760967123218143470.post-39488187735914643452007-01-05T15:28:00.000-08:002007-01-05T15:28:00.000-08:00don't like the new font either.

Yeah, I really like the new look.
Yes...Hey y'all.<br /><br />Yeah, I really like the new look.<br /><br />Yes, Ender, I believe once you're logged on (as a member?) you don't have to go through the word verification, which, really, wasn't that big of a deal. Schad was just being, well, Schad.<br /><br />I like Dawn's idea of a group book review, but I can't read, so, you know, hmm…<br /><br />As far as any new looks go, depending on just how much time the "host" is willing to spend on this thing, I'd love to see this look more and more like an online magazine and less like a blog. But again, that's probably a huge time investment, and I may be the only one who wants it to move in that direction.<br /><br />All I'm looking for is more exposure. Whatever we can do to accomplish that suits me just fine.<br /><br />Good job.<br /><br />(Thank <B>god</B> the holidays are finally over.
