CSS menu in Blogger template

Hello again…

I have another question. I’ve done up a template for blogger to match the style of my webpage. Everything seems to be working great, except my CSS pull down menu (FW5Pro) seems to have misaligned itself. So my question is…are CSS pull down menus not allowed in the blogger template?

If I want to maintain the pulldown menu in my blog page, what should I be doing?

Many thanks!

you can use CSS menus in Blogger. i’ve designed several blogs with them.

i.e.

Hi Brian,

Amazing site http://joshmccullock.blogspot.com/

Why would you want to do this in Blogger? Is it because comment and tagging are taken care of nicely? Why not on your own hosted site? Easier to update for the end user without having to get your hands dirty in CMS?

Is this the way the web is going? Reformatted WordPress/ Blogger/ TypePad?

2 questions:-

1. can i upload my blogger template into a blogger site and see how it looks? or do i need to upload onto a sort of ftp first?

2. brian…how did u get the img signoffs on the josh mccullock’s blog? the tree on the right of the post title and the signature at the bottom of each post?

thanks!

john,

I know for sure the photography community is going with Wordpress, Blogger, etc…

It’s easy for them to stay up to date with clients, be more personal by posting things everyday instead of only have a static website with imagery.

Blogs are easier since you design the layout, then all they have to do is use the backend thru blogger, etc to add their entries, no coding or anything techie to remember on their part.

1. you have to upload to a external site to use custom images, etc for your blog.

2. i did that with CSS. the tree is just a background image added to the post title class, and positioned with CSS. The signature is just him saving the image as a template in his blogger post editor.

am i able to have the url of my blogspot blog correspond with the rest of my website? rather than a .blogspot.com url?

by the way, my css menu works now. yay!

you can create a subdomain, then redirect it to your blogspot address..

i.e. - blog.xyz.com redirects to xyz.blogpost.com or www.xyz.com/blog redirect to your blog

you can also choose to host your blogger blog on your server, but you can’t do all the fancy redesigning of it that way.. sucks

what i’ve done now is to put an external link to the blogger site. but the url will reflect the difference. plus i’ve realised that blogger puts this annoying dashboard at the top of the page.

if i were to swap to wordpress.com, i’d have to work the redirection another way right? the tutorial i’ve watch only shows how to use blogger as blog site. any help?

thx.
