I really like the template . . . suits me well! How do I make the little scrap papper link “Edit” work, what is it for? The HTML background is:
Edit
It looks like it is customizable by me, and ought to point to the Edit Settings page in Blogger?? But what do I type in the ‘YOUR-LINK-HERE’ line? Is this the correct place to make this request? It is not clear. Again, thanks for the template, it is great!

@ J G Parks
Goto Layout->Edit HTML and check the box “Expand Widget Templates”, then look for the following line; <span>Edit</span> . Above this line, you will see <a href=’YOUR-LINK-HERE’ title=’LINK-TITLE-HERE’>
Replace YOUR-LINK-HERE and LINK-TITLE-HERE, with your respective link (URL) and title. If you still need my help just let me know!
Didn’t work. I pasted http://utahbeekeeper.blogspot.com/ in there and upon preview is dissabled all 4 links in that widget. Any besides, I am wondering what the point is? I am already signed in and can edit my blog. I think I am missing something about the purpose of that EDIT link. When working correctly, where is it supposed to take me, or a visitor?
Thanks

@ J G
The purpose of EDIT link is absurd here. You can always change it to any thing you want, for instance, ARCHIVES, CONTACT, etc. Tell me what do you want to do (either replace or delete the EDIT button) and I’ll send you the code.
pls help me with the edits code.. when i click on it i want it to go to the edit posts page…. please send me the code..i really like this template and want to keep it for my blog….
the description of my blog is about 5 lines.. and the coffee mug is overlapping it… any idea how to make it appear over it??? pls email me at [REMOVED] or [REMOVED]… i don’t know whether i will be checking in here again.. hope you don’t mind.
@ Yuta Sorry, but we don’t have a policy of replying through emails. Please, send us your blog’s URL, so that we can investigate the problem.
@ JD.
i am truly very sorry i wasn’t aware of this, as i am new to this field.
URL: [REMOVED]
No problem Yuta. Unfortunately, there is no way you can make the text appear over the button, since buttons have a higher priority over the text, you’ll have to remove some of the buttons in order to make the text more visible. If you want to remove the buttons, just let me know and I’ll help you trough the process.
Is it possible to place the buttons(Comments & Edit) to the right hand side ???
Certainly; however, you’ll have to shift all the buttons towards right, individual buttons are hard to shift. Inside EDIT HTML, you’ll need to adjust the following;
1) Search for #menu, on second line, change left:20px; to right:20px;
2) Just below this line, you’ll see margin; change it to margin:50px 0 0 0;
3) Now, look for #maintop and change margin to margin: 50px auto 0 auto;
You’r Done! Refresh and all the buttons will now be on the right side. Ping me, if you need my help.
Like you said i shifted the buttons to the right and its working well and seems nice.. but then the image behind has shrunk a lil bit.
i know you said its harder but if you can try and manage to just move the two to the right it wil be very helpful.
i am not really good at this… talking all professional… hope you dont mind.
Must be an illusion, images don’t shrink like this. Secondly, by hard I mean, that not only will you have to adjust several parameters inside your template, but also it might not be compatible to all browsers, especially IE, which is notoriously known for its bugs! Since, most of the users still use IE, it wouldn’t be wise to shift only two buttons to the right.
I strongly recommend that you keep these buttons like this.
Will it work on Firefox?
Yes it will.
i want to you use those four buttons on an e-magazine i am creating for my college. where can i get the source code and images?
CLICK HERE and copy the address of the image from the address bar. Secondly, I’ll advice you to host the image on blogger or unlimited storage platform instead of using this URL.
hey ,
there used to be a small piece of paper appearing at the right hand side corner of every article.. its not appearing now since i changed my template bk and forth to desk mess… it displayed the number of comments i had received. i really would like to have it back . what changes should i make?
i gt it sorted. thank you .
again i cant see it!!!
This might be caused due to overload bandwidth. Try placing your image to a good image hosting service.
Technically speaking i didn’t get the part you mentioned. Wat’s overload bandwidth ?
Well there are instances when the server that your image is hosting from is really busy, and it can not handle the amount of requests that are sent to it. Therefore, resulting in a failure to display image. Currently, the image that you were talking about is visible.
Im trying to change my tabs from POSTS RSS, COMMENTS, and EDIT to:
I’d really appreciate you help.
