Hello, and welcome to my Blog version 2.0. After finding the content management on Blogger.com lacking I came to the conclusion I had finally outgrown the software’s capabilities.
I decided I would like to have more control over the site and opted to host my own domain and run WordPress. I had to manually fix a few links and recently had a major issue with my plugins (it is now fixed) everything is finally migrated over.
I will be adding new features and content to the site as well as a new theme hopefully in the coming weeks.
I’ve painstakingly gone through nearly all of my blog posts and updated the URL for the little icons and images. I canceled their previous hosting domain and rolled them into my main one.
I wish blogger had a search and replace feature that would have let me find the old URL and replace it with the new one automatically. Oh well.
As of late, I’ve been looking into going back to school. It seems the Ottawa region is flooded with support analysts who have been laid off and the demand doesn’t meet those levels. Perhaps I can either supplement my skills, or maybe it’s time to move into a new career. We shall see.
I recently pieced together a new song concept demo, which can be found on my MySpace page – it’s the track labeled ‘Boneyard’. Check it out.
More tweaks this morning have led to the inclusion of an AdSense bar just between the header and the content as was there previously.
How did I do it?
I left layout mode and edited the HTML, where I found the .css element for the “header-wrapper” and “header” sections. I cloned them and renamed them – “billboard-frame” and “funkydj” respectively.
#billboard-frame {
width:730px;
margin:0 auto 1px;
}
#funkydj {
margin: 0px;
text-align: center;
}
Now scroll way down into the body of the HTML and find the “header-wrapper” tag. Below that div, you add a new section:
<div id="billboard-frame">
<b:section class='funkydj' id='funkydj' maxwidgets='1' showaddelement='yes'>
</b:section>
</div>
You can save, then go back to layout mode and add an HTML element into the new section you’ve created below the header. Voila!
