First of all, you all may notice that I finally had a much-needed blog makeover. Yay!
Jenny at Pink Armchair Designs did a super lovely job on this blog for me. I really love what she has done!
Now, for the bad news - I think I might have screwed it up a little. (I dunno.)
I felt a little ambitious yesterday, and started tweaking the HTML with a couple of things. Things that I was SURE were simple enough; like adding a favicon, a floating navigation bar, and a couple of things to help the search engines crawl this blog. Little 'meta-typie' things, you know.
It was all working out so well, and I made sure that I saved my template BEFORE each change, like you're supposed to. And, I also made sure that I previewed each change before I saved them.
Everything looked fine yesterday, and I posted my WW post, viewed the blog one more time before I picked my daughter up from her afternoon class. All good, right?
Well...
This morning I go to check it again. Low and behold, the title headline is now showing in the background. What? Where's the white space that is supposed to be between the post and the background? AND the sidebar is missing! What the heck?!?! AND at the end of the posts, where you should see "oder posts" we now have a DEAD END.
HOLY COW!
Did the Blogger-Boggie Man strike while I was sleeping?
OR...
(Insert Steve Urkel's voice here: "Did I do thaaat?")
OK, so I decided that I would check it all out with different browsers; Firefox, Chrome (which is new to me) and Internet Explorer (which I hate to use) and see what they look like on all three.
Interestingly enough, Firefox is the only browser that seems to load correctly, and it also happens to be the browser that I was working from yesterday. Hmmm.
Still, I recall that I checked out the blog on all three browsers yesterday, and they loaded fine... Yesterday.
So, what could have transpired between this morning and yesterday afternoon is beyond me.
I went in the edit HTML window and looked for the new code that I pasted in yesterday. I noticed something strange. Some of it was still there, but some of it was missing.
Missing? How can that be?
*Crickets chirping*
In any event, does this blog look wonky to you right now? I would hate to think that I crewed up Jenny's lovely handiwork. Maybe it's just something wrong with these browsers.
Or, maybe it's the Bloggermeister Meisterblogger!
Can you see the side bar on the right side? Are the post headlines overlapping the page background? Or do they fit over the nice pink space around the body of the post? Can you see a white area in between that pink space and the background?
Has anything like this ever happened to any of you?





Everything seems to be in working order from my view point.. Im using Firefox though!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I almost wonder if it's not just the way Chrome and IE are loading today. It's almost like they aren't loading the pages completely, and yet Firefox is.
ReplyDeleteDoes that sound crazy?
I can see everything fine, but I use Firefox. Blogger is having some issues today. From what I understand, Google may have done some "upgrades" last night/ early this morning. I've been having troubles all day long with anything that has to do with Google, no problems with anything else. Give it a few days; it may be Blogger's fault.
ReplyDeleteMan, I can't help you, as I am technically-challenged, but I did want to tell you that I LOVE the new look! I'm sure the "kinks" will get worked out!
ReplyDeleteI use Firefox and it looks okay to me.
ReplyDeleteI have messed up my blog a couple of times and then because I'm one of those people who can't let it go, I stay up all night trying to fix what I did.
Everything looks like it works to me!! I'm using Firefox, but I also checked on Chrome and Safari. (I use Mac OSX) and everything looks great!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks fine to me...but I am a little flustered today, so I might not be the best person to say. I am using IE though
ReplyDeletebtw love your new page-look-thingie! See? I told ya...I am out there today.
ReplyDeleteI like the new look. Congrats for you venturing into html land. :two thumbs up:
