Moving Long Date moving the long date from the top of the post to where the time is located at the bottom of the post 1. Go to this page - for the day template - http://127.0.0.1:5335/system/pages/prefs?page=3.3  and copy this code <div class="date"> <%archiveLink%>&nbsp; <%longDate%> </div> - paste into notepad or a text editor then delete the <%longDate%> macro from the template click on submit 2.  Go to this page - for the item template -  http://127.0.0.1:5335/system/pages/prefs?page=3.4 and paste the code you just copied from the item template minus the <%archiveLink%>&nbsp; into the item template - this is what you're pasting:  <div class="date"><%longDate%></div> depending on where you would like the date to appear, you can paste that code before the time or <%when%> or after the time or have everything on the same line I have changed mine to appear before the time after the permalink which is that little # sign and with everything on the same line and my item template looks like this (i enclosed everything inside the <div> </div> code to have it all on the same line) <<table width="100%" cellpadding="1">   <tr>     <td valign="top">       <br><%itemText%><br>       <font class="small" size="-1" color="gray"> <div class="date"><%permalink%>&nbsp;<%longDate%>&nbsp;<%when%>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><%editButton%></font>       </td>     <td valign="top" align="right" nowrap>       <%enclosure%>       </td>     </tr>   </table> Click on submit. 3. Changing the size of the long date - go to this page for the home template: http://127.0.0.1:5335/system/pages/prefs?page=3.2 and scroll down til you find .date (it will be about mid way down in the template) - you need to change the font size of the date to 10px instead of 14px and delete a margin top css code Before you change the css code - its looks like this:  .date  {     font-family:verdana, arial, sans-serif;     font-size: 14px;  >>>>>change this to 10px     color: #999;     font-weight:bold;     text-transform:uppercase;     margin-top:10px;    >>>>>>delete this line     border-bottom:1px solid #666;      }        after you make the changes - it will look like this  .date  {     font-family:verdana, arial, sans-serif;     font-size: 10px;     color: #999;     font-weight:bold;     text-transform:uppercase;     border-bottom:1px solid #666;      }        Click on submit. 4. Repeat step 3 on main template - go to this page http://127.0.0.1:5335/system/pages/prefs?page=3.1  - click on submit when done with changes Post something new and your date should now appear at the bottom of the post  Now if you don't want the date to appear at all, skip part 2, 3 and 4 1:26:49 AM    comment []

Movable Radio Modern Template Changes changing the location of the calendar and adding a picture to Bryan Bell's MOVABLE RADIO MODERN theme first thing this assumes that you are already using Movable Radio Modern as your theme second thing -  go to this page with Radio open http://127.0.0.1:5335/system/pages/prefs?page=3.2 1. Adding a picture to above the calendar Go back to this page - http://127.0.0.1:5335/system/pages/prefs?page=3.2 Scroll down (its about 13 lines from the bottom) until you find <div id="links"> You're going to add an image source link macro to the code - this assumes that you've already upstream the image to your images folder - I added a marble jpeg to my template and I wanted it centered <p align="center"> <img src="http://radio.weblogs.com/0119318/images/ImageTests/marble.jpg"></p> techically you should use the radio macro but for the life of me I can't get it to work...html code works..just find the url of the image and paste that in place of my url image code click on submit, post something and see if you're picture has showed up above the calendar ok..trying to write a newbie tip here what the hell does this mean: [Macro error: String constant isn't correctly specified. Must be of the form "abcd".] I could go look it up in the kickstart book, but I haven't the foggiest idea where I put that book, ok strike that thought, figured it out, I left out a slash...apparently I've lost my mind, it suppose to work with the radio macro, why isn't it working? oh well, html coding works too. 2. Now onto moving the calendar to below the navigator links Go back to this page http://127.0.0.1:5335/system/pages/prefs?page=3.2 Scroll down til you find this code again <div id="links"> You're going to cut this code <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" align="center">               <tr>                 <td>                   <%radio.weblog.drawcalendar ()%>                 </td>               </tr>             </table> and then paste it back two lines down below the navigator links code (shown below in blue) also you'll be adding a space right in front of the paste code (shown in teal below) it will look like this after you've pasted the code back into the template under the navigator links  <div class="sidetitle">Navigation</div> <div class="side"><%navigatorLinks%></div> <p> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" align="center">               <tr>                 <td>                   <%radio.weblog.drawcalendar ()%>                 </td>               </tr>             </table> click on submit, post something and your calendar, cross your fingers will be under the navigator links and its works..wahoo repeat for the main template if needed  - go to this page - http://127.0.0.1:5335/system/pages/prefs?page=3.1 and repeat steps 1 and 2 11:52:54 PM    comment []
