Where did it go?

Dammit... my "Pin it" Pinterest button for every blog post seems to have disappeared. I believe that Blogger is possessed tonight, or I need some serious sleep. For now I give up on the html portion, and will come back to try and fix it tomorrow. Hopefully by then I will be lucky and it has fixed itself. Nothing I hate more then troubleshooting html stuff for hours! Last time I had this problem it took me a couple days to figure out what went wrong... I really don't want the same headache again!

Center Or Right Align Header Image And Title On Blogger

If you uploaded your header image via Page Elements, Blogger will automatically align it to the left. There are no options for middle and right alignment. So then, it possible to align the image in at the center or to the right of the header?


Yes it is possible -using CSS (Cascading style sheet). But to define a HTML element in CSS you must first know the element ID or class name. After some checking I found out that “header-inner” is the ID for the content of header widget. So what’s next?


You need to check the image placement method you chose when you uploaded the header image to Blogger in the first place. Different method handled the image differently, thus requiring different codes for alignment.

My favorite HTML Color Codes Sites

In customizing your blog template, you may find that you want to change the colors supplied by your blog provider. Color codes for HTML come in six digit codes made of numbers and letters. You may see it called "hexidecimal" - that is because they use the numbers 0-9, plus the letters A-F (giving you 16 possibilities) to create the "number" of the code.

The following are some of the sites I use to find the codes for the colors I desire:

How to Make Links Open in a New Window

Most blog platforms let you use a button shortcut for adding a link in a post. You know the drill: you highlight the words you want to link, you click on the Link button, you paste in the URL. Easy-peasy.

But if you want the link to open in a new window, instead of having it take readers away from your page, you can click the "Edit HTML" tab and add a target tag to the link's code.

A link's HTML code looks like this (minus the spaces before and after the brackets):
