Blog hint for XTreme beginners Ok, I finally got an image up on my page. Here's how I did it:
1. Choose "rolling" for your theme
2. Use sdtimage's snapshot capability to snapshot a region exactly
the right size for the right sidebar, save the image to a file.
(I'll blog more about this image later.)
3. Go to the "files" section of your "Website" tab and upload the
image.
4. right-click the image name and open in a new window. Then copy
the URL.
5. Go to "Page Templates" in your Website tab and choose to edit
_sideColumn.
Add this right under div id="SideBar" EXCEPT of course there are
those less-than and greater-than brackets around each of these
lines:
div class="box"
img src=http://blogs.sfbay.sun.com/roller/resources/YOURIMAGE
/div
....now save.
BTW, I got the URL for the image-maker from my daughter. I'm going to
make a donation because 1. I'm a cat person and 2. I'm happy with the image, but DISCLAIMER TIME: before my daughter gave me the URL I had never heard of these folks and Sun has nothing to do with them that I know of etc etc etc:http://www.reasonablyclever.com/mini/index.html ( Jun 06 2005, 07:05:57 PM PDT ) Permalink Comments [0]
