Archbishop Of Canterbury Steps In It Again

Christian doctrine is offensive to Muslims, the Archbishop of Canterbury said yesterday.

Um...Dr. Williams? Muslim doctrine is offensive to Christians (and most other humans), as well.

Just wanted that on the record.

By the way, you might trim those eyebrows sometime.

ROFL! I found your blog on an html quest, but am I glad to read it first before asking anything! Excellent -- in the bookmarks as we speak :o)

Now, to my question -- and forgive me asking it in a post, quite O/T --

I'm trying to emplace Chris Muir's Day By Day cartoon on my own site. I'm pretty clueless with html, but do know enough that you have to paste the embed code in your template html somewhere. My question is, exactly where? And will it enable the cartoon to be updated every day, or do I have to manually do that?

I e-mailed Chris himself, and he confessed he was as tech-challenged as me. He directed me here -- (and I'm so glad! Even if you can't answer my question, I like your blog)

Any help would be appreciated -- thanks!

Eowyn, what you'll want to do is copy the HTML code from Chris' website; I like the full-length version that I can read without having to rely on scrollbars.

Once you have the HTML code copied, go to your Blogger dashboard and select LAYOUT. Once you see your layout, you'll notice on the right "ADD A PAGE ELEMENT." Click this, and a second window will pop up, with a variety of options available: video, photo files, text, HTML. Choose the HTML type and paste the code from Chris' website into the space provided, then click update/enter.

It should be as simple as that.

Thanks for answering bob!

Okay, by 'copy the code from Chris' website' I assume you mean choose one of the three embeds he offers. (Not sure what the difference between them is?)

I tried one of them (horizontal), and added a page element in layout, and the cartoon appeared, but it showed up on the right side, whereas I want it right under the header. That leads me to think I should place the code somewhere in the template html, but I'm not sure where?

Eowyn, if you look at the bottom of the Layout screen, you will see an "Add a page element" box that is full-width of the blog; try pasting the horizontal code from Chris there in the way I described above, then after it is accepted, drag that box up to the top, just under the heading. That should get the design I have on my own blog. (I hope--been a while since I did this, and I'm no code wizard myself).

Well, it worked as you said, only it still won't go all the way across -- it butts into my photo. I think it's something to do with my template.

Thanks for all your help, anyway :o) I'll solve this thing yet!

Sorry I wasn't more help than that, Eowyn. I know next to nothing about HTML, unfortunately, just some basic tags for formatting.

Thanks again, Bob -- I'll keep you posted!
