Aspire Template Fixes  

Posted by Game Thug

The template for this blog was found at:

http://www.eblogtemplates.com/aspire-blogger/

However, as originally downloaded, there were a number of failures in the code.  In order to get the blog to function, I removed three widgets that I didn't want anyway.

1.  So, here we go.  First, use CTRL + F to find the code block for "easychair".  It looks like this:



<b:widget id='EasyChair' locked='false' title='Site Sponsor' type='HTML'>
     <b:includable id='main'>
          <b:if cond='data:title'>
               <h2><data:title/></h2>
          </b:if>
          <div class='widget-content'>
               <a href='http://chicoman98.ecmillions.hop.clickbank.net'><img border='0' height='600' src='http://www.easychairmillionaire.com/banners/160x600.jpg' width='160'/></a>
          </div>
     </b:includable>
</b:widget>




2.  Slash and burn--delete it in it's entirety.

3.  Next, find the "feedjit" code block.  It looks like this:


<b:widget id='Feedjit' locked='false' title='Live Traffic Feed' type='HTML'>
     <b:includable id='main'>
          <b:if cond='data:title'>
               <h2><data:title/></h2>
          </b:if>
          <div class='widget-content'>
               <ul>
                    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://feedjit.com/serve/?bc=DEB968&tc=000000&brd1=DEB968&lnk=000000&hc=DEB968&ww=150"></script><noscript><a href="http://feedjit.com/">Feedjit Live Blog Stats</a></noscript><br/>
               </ul>
          </div>
     </b:includable>
</b:widget>


4.  Purge the heretical code!

5.  Lastly, find the "ads" code block.  It was right below "feedjit" and it looks like this:


<b:widget id='Ads' locked='false' title='Ads' type='HTML'>
     <b:includable id='main'>
          <b:if cond='data:title'>
               <h2><data:title/></h2>
          </b:if>
          <div class='widget-content'>
               <!-- if content is empty, show placeholder images -->
               <b:if cond='data:content == ""'>
               <ul><li>
               <a target='_new' href='http://www.text-link-ads.com/?ref=2164'><img border='0' src='http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/eblogtemplates/ads/tla_ad2.gif' /></a>
               </li></ul>
               </b:if>
               <data:content/>
          </div><!--/ads-->
     </b:includable>
</b:widget>




6.  Kill it!

7.  Save it!  It should be good to go now!

Question:

I am having problems with the top menu. When I put in "Home" for instance, two of them appear rather than one. Also, is there anyway to add a "Contact" to the top menu? I can't seem to enter a "mailto" without it automatically adding a http:// code in front of it.

Thanks so much.
