Title: Board Bloggers in Bulk!
Post by: Bolt-01 on 09 August, 2004, 04:34:12 PM
Hmm, seeing as there has been a spate of 'blogging' over the weekend, I thought it might be a good idea for peeps to post links to Blogs here.

I'll start the ball rolling, just click on the 'lost property' part of my sig.

Wow. I managed to post a response to your little article, General, that wasn't completely pointless.

Still, does anyone know why the most recent stuff you post in your blogs awlays spends some time in the purgatory of the archives?

I was wondering that myself, Conexus.  I thought maybe I was arsing it up somehow but hey, maybe I'm not such a klutz after all if it's happening to you too.

I'm rained off from work today, and more than a little hung over, so I may spend some time running up my phone bill tinkering with things.

Post by: Conexus on 10 August, 2004, 01:19:40 AM
I think the adverts on the blogs are related to our profiles. the General and me have studenty adverts, Bolt has a parenty advert,and Al has comic adverts. I can only assume therefore that Johny is a charity worker (good man) and that Ziggy is heavily into investments (hey, does grey suit you, you greedy fat cat? )

Post by: Conexus on 10 August, 2004, 01:25:29 AM
I'm assuming about you too Bolt, I would have said just then, but I had Rac in my mind , who definately is parenty. So this Advert profile link only seems to work for three of us (that i know of) Meh, maybe it's just concidence that me Al and the General have ads that sorta make sense

Well, I need to customize a template so that my posts - including images, the text and my profile all fit on the page.  None of the ready-to-use templates seem to do this.  I'm using the 'simple' template at the moment, but this doesn't have the fast links to old posts or my profile on.  The one I was using, 'scribe', went a bit shonky after I added 'Witnesses'.    

And I'm not willing to try the one's with teddy-bears in the background or owt.

Okay GC, set your template back to scribe (or whatever you want)

In the settings, you get to see the html for how the page is put together.

scroll down till you reach the Main body section. In there you can change the pixel width (px) of the blog. Monkey about with that to find the desired setting.

There is a preview button to have a look see what you have done.

Be careful though eh?

Well, on the one hand it was done six years ago, so it'd be kind of messing with an ancient monument kind of deal, and on the other hand I've already got a Superman analogue as can be seen here...

(The below-mentioned 'incurable alcoholic' and 'one-man police state with all the moral capabilities of a woodlouse' will be making STARRING APPEARANCES in Commercial Suicide II, unless they just burn the pages and tell me to piss off and never come back.)

But if it's new readers you crave, I'll happily host a couple of your Megaman cartoons and a link to your site.
