Dilectio's Header

Helping out Aditya Nayak

Received a Twitter's message from Aditya telling me he got some problem with his blog.

In my reply I told him to shoot me an email and explained in details what was wrong with his blog? In an email he told me what's wrong with his blog's header. See image below;

That problem was very easy to remedy, but I told him to give some times and I shall get back to him as soon as possible. It's just the matter of adjusting the header's margin. Here is what you've to do;

1. Login to your Blogger's account.

2. On your Dashboard, choose (if you've several blogs) which blog you're having problem with and then you click on the 'Layout' button.

3. On Page Elements, click on Edit HTML. On this page make it an habit to backup your template before we do any tweaking on the codes. If anything should go wrong after doing any major tweaking or upon hearing a hissing sound coming from your favourite Lappy or Desktop, you will thanks me for reminding you to take such a simple precaution's step, **wink**

4. Then search for the following string of codes (with or without check Expand Widget Templates);

#header-wrapper h1 {
font-size: 28px; line-height: 28px; letter-spacing: -1px; padding: 27px 5px 0px 100px; margin: 0px; font-weight: bold; color:$colortituloblog;
}

5. From the above string of codes, focus on the RED one. That's the only code you gonna tweak. As an experiment, when I change it to margin: -50px; see the result below;

It became;

6. And when I changed it to margin: -20; the title of your blog became like so --> see image below;

7. In conclusion, all you have to do is change the margin to any negative number to suit your blog. Voila! You've got a very nice header.

That it for now. Until we meet again for another tutorial. i hope you enjoy doing the experiments as much as I do. See ya' when I see ya'.

Hola Aditya,

I noticed that you're using 'Samarkan' font. It looked nice coz I've that font on my PC, but it will just show default font on others who doesn't have that font on their PC. I'm saying, just so you should know about it.

I'm glad I'm able to help you. Just shoot a question if you have other problem. I be glad to be of help.

Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.

p/s Anything wrong with your date?

Aditya Kumar Nayak said...

Thanks for pointing out the font thing. I am aware of the issue and will be replacing the header with an image soon. And Yeah, I have to change the format of my date. :)

I got a notification from blogger about google page creator moving to google pages. it also asked me to run a check if my blogs use anything from page creator.

Now, apparently dilectio uses 2 files hosted on PC but i cant seem to move them to pages coz oferror 404(Resource missing (no longer exists).)
Could you find a solution to this plz?

These are the 2 files

Hola Aditya,

Don't worry about those two files as long there's no harm being done to your blog.

I remembered seeing those two CSS files on my blog, but I don't remember what had I done with them, lol! As long as your blog is fine, you shouldn't be bothered.

Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.

Sincerely yours,

Aditya Kumar Nayak said...

Okay Sure. Thanks a lot. You are doing a great job with dilectio. :)

Aditya Kumar Nayak said...

Hey, I have another doubt. What's the ideal setting for the date? I have tried a few combination but havent been able to get the date, day and month all at the same time. although i remember seeing a date stamp on somebody's dilectio blog which had date, month and day in the short form(like fri); i cant recollect whos blog was that and neither can i get it myself. Please suggest me a solution

This was posted by David,

If your individual blog post date stamp doesn’t show up, you’ll need to make one more change. Go into your Blogger’s “Settings” tab and then click on “Formatting”. Next, change the “Timestamp Format” (it’s the 4th one down) to this format => “Wednesday, February, 2008″. Make sure you change the “Timestamp Format” and NOT the “Date Header Format”. Many people in the past have told me it didn’t work only to find out they were changing the wrong field.

Hope that will answer your question.

Aditya Kumar Nayak said...

I have already tried that, but it am not able to make it show in the style that i meantioned

ArahMan7 said...

Hola Aditya,

If I were you I would do a little trial and error. Just go to Dilectio's Setting, Then to Formatting. Starting from Date Header Format clicked each one from the drop-down menu and save. Preview and see which one is correct setting.

For your information, see image here, My Date Setting. This is my date setting for my Dilectio. See if it helps

Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.
