More Than Multiple Widgets Showcase

This is a showcase of blogs using my More Than Multiple Widgets theme. It’s interesting to see what people can do with the theme.

The base theme. This is used on my blog. This is the way the theme looks if you do no changes to the color scheme or font.

Stephan Miller theme

Joel Wideman helped me fix a few things with the theme and discovered that the color values for the theme can actually be replace with anything that goes between “background:” and “;” in the stylesheet. Values like “transparent” and “url(http://flickr.com/your_pic)” as well as a hexadecimal color value. The only issue you may run into is that the sidebar is actually a sidebar in the upper part, but in order to give the impression that the sidebar continued all the way down to the footer, the bottom part is actually a really wide border on the main content area of the page.

    What I actually do is use two different opacities – one 25% and one 50%. The 25% is for the main content area. This makes the transparency look a bit more even.
    The only real downside to this theme is that I can’t fit a regular banner in. However, with the adsense built in, I may change to that instead of Project Wonderful.

    “The only issue you may run into is that the sidebar is actually a sidebar in the upper part, but in order to give the impression that the sidebar continued all the way down to the footer, the bottom part is actually a really wide border on the main content area of the page.”

    I don’t understand. Just how do you fix this issue?

    It’s an issue if you want to put an image as a background. It will not show all the way to the bottom. It is not really an issue, but a limitation of the theme.

    Oh, I see! I think. :)

    The fact I expanded the width of the theme, and the side bar, is the reason the background extends into the bottom section of side bar as you scroll down through the theme?

    It can be masked by making the background and the sidebar color the same, or by adding more links etc in the side bar to make it longer, but I think there should be some parameter for width that I missed, or don’t understand.

    Is that a correct assumption? or is the background photo in the side bar a separate issue?

    There is a border on the main content that has to be the same width and color as the sidebar for it to look like one piece.

    It’s #wrapper.

    The width of it’s border and the negative value of it’s margin-right are the same value as the width of the sidebar.

    A background image in the sidebar will only follow the length of the text there.

    Hopefully that helps.

    That got it!

    Setting the #wrapper width to the width of the #content eliminated the problem.

    Thanks

  13. Posted February 4, 2008 at 1:26 pm | Permalink

    Not really. Only had a blog with them for about a week.

    I often wonder how many widgets there are out there that can help to boost the seo of blogs. Additionally, it would be a heaven sent thing if widgets come in php, so that the content from it can boost the power of blogs tri[ple the strength…:-)
