layout problem
  • diyrockstar // jeffdiyrockstar // jeff
    for some reason my background and sidebar haven't been showing up lately... i don't know why, i haven't changed anything... ideas?
  • loudersoftloudersoft
    have you tried switching to menthol? man i dunno what happened -- seriously, did you switch the browser you use or are you having any hosting probs?

    i know i have dreamhost and they've been having MASSIVE problems of late with things. just a thought or two.
  • diyrockstar // jeffdiyrockstar // jeff
    no, i haven't changed browsers or anything. i do have dreamhost, so that might have something to do with it...
  • anthony@hypemanthony@hypem
    not sure about the background, but it seems that the sidebar is all the way at the bottom, at least in Opera

    i think it might be with your cheated hearts post. it looks like you have a tag before the mp3, but don't have a tag.

    try throwing that in after the text.

    are you using the ajax text editor in wordpress? it's a mess and will get you in trouble. i keep mine turned off and do any code by hand.
  • travistravis
    oh, and if that doesn't solve the problem i'd check all your posts and make sure your html is correct. it sounds like it is something within a post --- and not the layout itself since you said you haven't touched that.

    Jeff, in IE the sidebar is all the way at the bottom, as well. Another thing you can to with the sidebar is to try to make the main content column a little skinnier.

    it was the html thing. thanks, travis!

    Hey, don't go anywhere yet!!!!

    I have a problem too, but with Blogger. And I know that there are some Blogger geniuses here, so please and thank you with the answer to my question.

    Here's the deal: when a post is accessed from the archives, or through a direct link, my sidebar gets all flibbity-dibbity and doesn't show the toppermost, most important stuff. Here's what I mean.

    Here's my normal sidebar.

    and


    Here it is through a direct link to a post.

    Dudes I don't know what to do. Why does it only show part of the sidebar? You all are much smarter than me. If you help me fix my blog I'll post a picture here of me giving you the thumbs-up next to your site on my laptop.

    shit I have no idea but that is the best prize ever so I'm going to try to figure it out

    I don't know man, it doesn't look like I can be of help. The only thing I can think of is that there's some kind of mixup earlier in the code before the sidebar that differentiates it between the main post and individual posts...whatever it is, there's a chunk missing in the individuals, obvs

  • chrischris
    leave it to the codebreakers, they can solve anything
  • diyrockstar // jeffdiyrockstar // jeff
    sometimes that is caused by classifying things as archives or something.. idk. i will check it out.
  • BillRocksClevelandBillRocksCleveland
    There is that mainOrArchive tag. I think that's what you're thinking of. I have no idea what it does.
  • diyrockstar // jeffdiyrockstar // jeff
    yeah, that's what i meant.
  • diyrockstar // jeffdiyrockstar // jeff
    ok, try adding tags to either side of the stuff that isn't showing up (close the tag, obvs). for some reason this looks like it works for me. the mystery of the mainOrArchive tag continues.
  • 111111
    oh snap how do i do that
  • diyrockstar // jeffdiyrockstar // jeff
    oh shit, yeah that didn't make sense at all.

    what i meant to say was put like above the stuff that doesn't show up in your template and below it put . i think that might work.
  • 111111
    so the key is to totally remove those tags, i've found. thanks jeff. now if someone could tell me how to get that bright light out of the picture when i photograph my computer screen. what is that bright light

  • diyrockstar // jeffdiyrockstar // jeff
    sorry, brian. :( won't happen again.
  • brian + arrowsbrian + arrows
    all is forgiven. i just want me more bluegrass modest mouse.
  • bethannebethanne
    here's how: turn off the flash.

    or set it so that the flash still happens, but the picture is taken without the flash.
  • chrischris
    thumbs up to that
  • bethannebethanne
    it's all thumbs!
  • 111111

    Jesus. Your thumb is practically bigger than your computer screen. Can you take another picture with a ruler next to your thumb?
  • gorillavsbeargorillavsbear
    eric, i guess you didn't notice, that bright light is still there. what the hell is that thing?
  • chrischris
    power book defect...typically appears when in close contact with giant thumbs
