How do you put an image in your banner.

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:47:40 +0000

Okay, so I have this lovely black banner on my title page… which I want to put up a picture instead.

My wikidot: http://castleage.wikidot.com

I found someone that did an awesome job with their banner but don't know how to add my own like this.

http://aqwwiki.wikidot.com/class-of-2009-banner

Do you know what size the image has to be to fit perfectly in there like that?

Any and all help is greatly apprecaited!

Re: Security Risk?

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:57:59 +0000

Well, all web browsers have inbuilt security which prevents a webpage from controlling a different webpage in your browser.

If you create code on Wikidot.com, then you can use it to control Wikidot.com. However, if you create code on Google.com, you will not be able to control Wikidot.com with it. Google code can only control the Google website. Wikidot code can only control the Wikidot website.

So the HTML module will put your code on a different website so that it can't control Wikidot.com. Does this make more sense now?

Re: First adsense check imminent

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 05:03:49 +0000

I opted to go with a 250x250 image only ad in my sidebar, and it was a decent performer. But at the end of the day you kind of just have to experiment and see what works best on your site. I went a Looooooong time and a lot of impressions before I got my first click. As I tweaked it more and more trying different things, I improved.

As to text ads, there are multiple theories about what gets the most clicks. One theory is blend — use a color scheme that doesn't stick out like a sore thumb, but meshes with your site design. Another theory is contrast — make them stick out and catch the eye. Inbetween is to make the ads complement the site — where it stands out from the rest of your content but doesn't really slap the user with contrast. Finally, people who deal with a lot of ad blindness like to regularly alter ad layout and format.

I blended on WiiHD, but I never really gave complement a fair shot. Most of my experimenting early on was moving the ads around to get the best placement — something intended to strike a balance between earnings and maintaining a pleasant appearance.

So pick something that works with your site, track it's progress for a few weeks, then tweak it and see if the tweak helps or hurts. Good luck.

Bummer. I just peeked at your site (after fixing your link - you had www/havemycv instead of www.havemycv) and have to say I think the expanding and collapsing by hovering is annoying.

Maybe you can punish just the IE users by using some browser-specific coding tricks and putting your old code back for the rest of us. I haven't done much of this, but this site has a good article about one of the techniques:

Two different syntaxes, two identical results:

/local--code/admin:themes/#
/admin:themes/code/#

The # represents the number of the code block that your referring to (i.e. multiple code blocks on the same page).

On the /local--code/ version, if you neglect /#, then it is assumed to be code block 1, and the CSS file's title becomes the page name.

Then in your admin:manage page go to Appearance -> Themes and in the _default category click on the radio button next to "Or use and external theme" and type in /local—code/admin:themes and save.

I think you need /local—code/admin:themes/code/1 (unless I missed something and the /code/1 is assumed now.

When you first started modifying the theme I had a look and was impressed. Now when I have a look again, it's even better. Great job with the theme! :) Are you planning to add it to themes.wikidot.com? I'd definitely like to use it! :)

And you're right — I just tested it in IE8 and the drop-down menus don't do anything when you click on them. I like how they behave in Firefox though (closing the menu back up when you move the mouse away)

Re: http://eastenclave.wikidot.com/home

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:54:09 +0000

We need to sort out one or two issues here. Although you normally see the header on the start page before you view any other pages, you do not put your CSS on the start page. Put your custom CSS on its own page which you could call for example admin:themes. It will cascade to the other pages.

Atr the moment you've just put your CSS directly onto the page. It won't be read like that, you must wrap your CSS in a code block. So in the case of the code that is currently on your start page, cut it and paste it into admin:themes inside [[code type="css"]] and [[/code]] tags. You are, I think, basing your theme on the Basic theme, so add an@import rule as the first item in your code block followed by the CSS you have currently have on your start page, as shown below:

 [[code type="css"]] @import url(http://static.wikidot.com/v--ce652cbabb3f/common--theme/basic/css/style.css?0); #header { background-image:url(http://eastenclave.wikidot.com/local--files/home/EastEnclaveHead.gif); background-position:left; height:209px; margin-top:20px; padding-bottom:0px; padding-top:0px; } h1 a { background:url(http://eastenclave.wikidot.com/local--files/home/EastEnclaveHead.gif) no-repeat; display:block; filter:alpha(opacity=0); // for IE height:85px; margin-top:25px; margin-left: -10px; opacity: 0; padding-bottom:0px; padding-top:0px; text-align:left; text-indent: -9000px; width:173px; z-index:-100; } [[/code]]

Save the page.

Then on your start page delete the [[=image EastEnclaveHead.gif size="large"]] code that is in the line after the CSS. Unless you want the image twice it is not needed here because you are putting the image into the CSS.

Then in your admin:manage page go to Appearance -> Themes and in the _default category click on the radio button next to "Or use and external theme" and type in /local--code/admin:themes and save.

If you now do a refresh with ctrl+r you should see the theme applied. If you want to add any further CSS into your theme, just add it inside the codeblock and then save the admin:themes page and do a ctrl+r refresh to apply it.

Re: First adsense check imminent

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:36:34 +0000

The click thru rate can vary wildly from site to site, varying based on ad placement, how jaded your audience is, how regular they are (if the bulk of visitors are regulars (you aren't allowed to encourage them to click either), they'll probably develop ad blindness, but if the bulk is fresh from google or external links CTR might be higher). Determining timing to a check can be very hard since Google makes you agree to not disclose your CTR to others. Also, not every click is worth the same amount. Some of them are only worth a penny, some are worth dramatically more. You could have more clicks than someone else, and still earn less.

The nice thing about using adsense here is that wikidot gets a cut, so it's one more way you can generate income for them. Since I want wikidot to be around for a long time to come, I consider the ad split to a nice perk.

I can't say what the best ad provider is on any other factors because adsense is the only one I really use. I actually am an Amazon associate — on my games blog I put purchase links in each game's gallery, but it's a very different model. Click thru doesn't earn anything, there's just a referral fee on actual purchases through the link, and my income from it is dramatically smaller than adsense—non existent most months, though that will vary from site to site and implementation to implementation.

I think when I get another device in 4 years, android will be a very nice platform. But I've already messed with making purchases and hoping a platform develops the way I want it to (it didn't work out like I hoped). WinMo has my present needs and wants covered already.

Of course, users with different needs than mine can say the same about android. =)

I have been redesigning one of my sites and in the process changed my menu system. IE was displaying some collapsed menu buttons badly so I changed how they were collapsed.

I was quite proud of this: http://www.havemycv.com/test:me
This uses just CSS styling to make the drop-down menus. Unfortunately, now it turns out that IE can't understand "active" from this line: #side-bar li:active (CSS is on the page, it's at the bottom).

So now I have to have it activate by simply hovering http://www.havemycv.com/ :(

Rhombus, you should never need to log out and back in to get a codeblock to work. It just needs the browser cache clearing then a refresh. So on Firefox it's ctrl+shift+delete then in the details section of the popup window make sure the cache (only) is checked, then click OK. Then ctrl+r to refresh.

I've been considering putting some advertisements on a few of my sites. According to google analytics one of them is getting an average of 200 hits per day — so I'm assuming that at least one or two of those would be willing to click on the ads. From what I remember, Google pays out once you reach the $100 mark?

Where is my custom theme?

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:26:22 +0000

I've created a custom theme. To use it I think I have to specify it's URL (Appearence > Themes > Use an External Theme).

Any idea where the theme is on my wikidot site so I can put in the URL?

Thanks,

Right, up and running: http://www.havemycv.com/

Although, this theme does make my front page look quite ugly so that's what I'll be concentrating on now.

Snippet Page Problem - broken link

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:53:21 +0000

At the bottom of http://snippets.wikidot.com/ there is a link to "more>" . This has a URL of http://snippets.wikidot.com/recent. If you click this link you are redirected to another page briefly & then a plain page with the text "The file does not exist." The resulting URL in the browser task bar is *http://snippets.wdfiles.com/local--code/%%link%%%5D%5D%5B%5B/module**
