[Rustyhands]

hi everyone,

 

i am looking at using the dead space on the sides of my blog to either advertise or add more links to future content on my webpage. Is this a big task doing it on my wordpresss blog??

Hi,

 

so i m having a crack at this in this fashion.......:S

 

i am trying to place some images down the left hand side of my blog with a text widget and just inputting the html for the pics. sound s simple enough doesnt it.....????? NUP.

 

when i put the images on the widget, only one pic comes up and it pushes all the content in the main section of the page underneath it.

 

can this be stopped with some basic code???

 

cheers rusty

Do you have a link?

 

The Text Widget is the right one - maybe try adding the images as a list? And watch their size and make sure they are not wider than your sidebar. (Don't forget to consider any padding or margins that apply)

hi andrea,

 

cheers for the help.... you advice is appreciated very much

 

I just have one more question for you or anyone else out there that fact....

 

i have a small less than symbol down the bottom of the sidebar of my blog. I dont know how it got the and cant remember if i had changed something on one of the files. i cant seem to find where it may be located or what i have done to it.

 

any ideas??

 

cheers rusty

 

My link to my site....

It's after your clearing div but just before the footer. My guess is that it may be an unnecessary character at the start of your footer.php file within your theme.

Have alook and see what it may be if you like

No, it doesn't look like it is in that file. I'm not sure which file it will be in, in that case, but it is in one of your .php theme files.

[Andrea]

Start with the index.php file - that's usually the one that pulls it all together - your stray < may be in there just before

		<?php get_footer(); ?>
