Does the top of your blog look goofy?

OK, let's try this in plain English, LOL.

If you have added a stylesheet to your blog any time in the past year and notice that the title bar only goes halfway across because of the orange RSS icon, then you need a stylesheet patch.

You can patch your blog stylesheet by adding the red codes to your advanced customization settings. If you don't know where to find your settings, post back here an I'll include more instructions.

I changed the patch on Feb 24 because this one seems to work better. This patch was also incorporated into the Blog Styler tool on Feb 24.


/* -------------------------------- */
/*   Main Blog title bar at top     */
/* -------------------------------- */

#titlebar,.titlebar,#titlebar2  {
  Border:none;
  Background-color:#EF8010;
  Color:#FFFFFF;
  Font-family:verdana,arial,sans-serif;
  Border-bottom:2px solid #EF8010;
  Background-repeat:repeat;
  Border-top:3px solid #F5B574;
  Border-bottom: 3px solid #944F09;
  Margin:0px;
  width:100%;
  float:none;
}

/* RSS Patch  */

.srblog {width:99%; padding:0px; margin:0px;}
.outersyntitle {width:100%; margin:0px; padding:0px;}
.syndiv {position:relative; width:100%; text-align:right; padding:0px; margin:0px; left:-10px; top:-20px; height:5px; }

/* -------------------------------- */
/*   color logo bar at top          */
/* -------------------------------- */


Below is the older patch that I've had people use up until Feb 23.  It works just fine unless your blog title is so long that it takes two lines. Then it doesn't work so well. In that case, the top patch works much better.

/* -------------------------------- */
/*   Main Blog title bar at top     */
/* -------------------------------- */

#titlebar,.titlebar,#titlebar2,.srblog   {
  Border:none;
  Background-color:#EF8010;
  Color:#FFFFFF;
  Font-family:verdana,arial,sans-serif;
  Border-bottom:2px solid #EF8010;
  Background-repeat:repeat;
  Border-top:3px solid #F5B574;
  Border-bottom: 3px solid #944F09;
  Margin-bottom:0px;
}

/* RSS Patch  */

.titlebar { border:none; background:none; }
.srblog   { position:relative; width:100%; height:60px;}
.syndiv   { position:relative; float:left; width:50px; font-size:10px; padding:5px; }

/* -------------------------------- */
/*   color logo bar at top          */
/* -------------------------------- */



If you have a plain blog and want to add a colorful style to it, you can do so using the BlogStyler tool here:
