Add Picture to Header in 3 Column Blogspot

Previously, I'd mention a post about covert the 2 column blogspot to 3 column blogspot (link).
But recently i found a problem in this modification, which is I can't show the picture I uploaded to become Header picture.

And here is the solution, after I crawl from the website. That is, to delete and re-create your header. But if you directly approach this solution, you will find difficulty to remove your header. WHY?? because the "remove" button is made hidden.
Now, let's make the remove button show up.

First, Log-in to your blogger.com
Goto, Layout and into the Edit Html.
(It is ok to either select or not to select the "expand widget templates", cause it still not affect the widget.)

Please download and save a copy of your current template before proceeding.

Now, in the html coding box find the code below,



</head>

<body>

  <div id='outer-wrapper'>

<div id='main-top'/> <!-- placeholder for image -->

<div id='wrap2'><div id='wrap3'>

  <b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='2' showaddelement='no'>
<b:widget id='Header1' locked='true' title='Marccus Blog (Header)' type='Header'/>
</b:section>

  <div class='sidebar'>



Replace the "true" to "false"



 </head>

 <body>

   <div id='outer-wrapper'>

 <div id='main-top'/> <!-- placeholder for image -->

 <div id='wrap2'><div id='wrap3'>

   <b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='2' showaddelement='no'>
 <b:widget id='Header1' locked='false' title='Marccus Blog (Header)' type='Header'/>
 </b:section>

   <div class='sidebar'>



Then now Save your template.

Next, Goto Page Elements, you will find out that your header is now can be remove.
Remove your header, and add the new one.

Add your picture and select the picture to be placed "instead of title and description". Save the widget editing box.
Save your editing now and review your blog.

Ta-daa~~~ Your header is now become your Title! =)

....

There is a possible where this solution will not solve the problem.
Which is when your blog template is ordinary do not have a header!?
....

If your blog template is do not have a header originally, just do this! =)

We just do the same thing as mention just now to find the code, then..

Add the following code

 <a href="your blog address">
<img src="your image address">
  </a>

right after body tag 
<body>




So, it will look like this,



</head>

 <body>

 <a href="your blog address">
 <img src="your image address">
    </a>

<div id='outer-wrapper'>

<div id='main-top'/> <!-- placeholder for image -->

<div id='wrap2'><div id='wrap3'>


<div class='sidebar'>



Save your template and review your blog.
You should have see your picture appeared as Header nicely on top.



Hope the information in here will help some =)
Good Luck for the try!

and again..
Please download and save a copy of your current template before proceeding.

Follow comments?

Sometimes after i posted comments onto my friends blog and my own blog, always wonder how/when/what/where the next comments will be replied..

Then there actually some way to keep track on the comments that people have posted. keke.

What so far I know is the link to follow blogger/blogspot blog comments, other blog like wordpress/wretch/friendster blog I still not know how it works.

For blogger/blogspot, you may use the following default address and feed them:

>> feed://marccus.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default <<

Just change the red color word to the name of the blog that you wish to follow.

For eg.:

If I want to follow Ck's blog, just change to

feed://limchoonkiat.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default

And if for tian chad's blog, wil be

feed://tiandchad.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default

Then just paste into address bar, and press Enter.
Save the RSS into your RSS feeder(such as Google Reader, or auto-add into web browser), it's just that easy =)

Enjoy following the comment. But for high traffic blog, please don't do this. You will faint when see the abundant comments replied, eventually become like this >> @.@

About Three Column Blog

Ever feel the TWO column in default template of blogger/blogspot seem like limited space?
For me, I do feel it.

Ya, every living things live on earth survive and fights for space non-stop until after they die, still fights for graveyard..
Now, the non-living one, also appeared to have a similar issue.

Here I shows the source where I found the useful guidelines in order to change and expand your blogger/blogspot site become wider, prettier, bigger, colourfuller, widgets-er, and whatever that gives more..

There are two links that I came across for the teaching for 3 columns.

Webtalks and Blogcrowds

------
From there, you have to choose and download the XML format file first.
yea, those template actually the same with classic one, just that they now have Three Column! Amazing right? keke.

------
After you downloaded your favorite template, now do the backup of your own template first, for the "Safety FIrst!" practice.
REMEMBER!! replacing the 3 column will cleanse all the widget you have added. But there do teach how to backup and restore the widget, do can try it. But for me, I was re-created all widget.. T.T

------
Then, you can now upload the XML file onto your blogger/blogspot.


** Just follow the steps in the link I paste just now, is very easy to do them.

Taadaa~~ your new template with bigger space is ready and looking gorgeous for your readers. =)


Again, REMEMBER!!! replacing the 3 column will cleanse all the widget you have added.
So Think TWICE before proceed, hehe.

Good Luck for the try.
