Site updates


With the recent events unfolding in Japan I took some time off from blogging in respect for Japan. But in my blog's down time I decided to do some behind the scenes work on my blog and give it a few updates.


The first update being the navigation menu. I don't know if anyone remembers, but the old layout of my blog had links on the top of the blog to click to home, about, and contact. But after I switched to my new layout for some reason the code didn't take with the new layout and automatically created a links section on my side bar. Since the links section worked just as well, I didn't really feel like messing with it at the time. Instead I always kept in mind that I needed to fix it. Of course I always put it off because I am terrible at HTML, and I have to find a premade HTML code. But it's extremely difficult to find I premade code that is actually nice looking, and that I can easily manipulate. But I finally found one that matched my layout and was fairly easy to adjust the colors. Also, for some reason my blog's name is written across the nabigation menu, and I ave no idea how to fix that. If anyone knows a way to get rid of that, that would be a huge help.


And of course the second update I did was add more banners. I'm like addicted to making banners. Because they are cute and set my blog apart from other blogs. With the ones I just made it now brings me up to 35 banners. You think that a lot, but I'm not where near done. I still have to make a new Momusu one featuring the 9th gen, and after I know more about a few other idol groups I want make banners for them. And I eventually wanted to make Morning Musume generation banners as well as Team banners for the 48 groups. The banners I made now were subgroups, and groups I've been putting off making because I don't follow them that closely.
So here are the new banners:

Watarirouka Hashiritai



no3b


Not Yet
Mano Erina

NYC

SDN48

YuiKaori

Kanjani8


These aren't even all the updated I have in mind. Eventually I'm also going to add twitter because a lot of other blogs have twitter. I actually already made an account but I haven't done much else to it, so I'm not posting it yet. XD


And I also wanted to say that I have officially returned to blogging. Since a majority of bloggers have returned as well. And even Japan seems to be getting back to the swing of things with Music Station making its return. So, my next post will be my return post. :D

Glad to know you're in higher spirits. Love your banners. :)

About the blog name title appearing in the nav bar... I'm thinking that your banners pushed your blog title downwards. You can make them overlap, but i don't think that's what you have in mind.

So... if you want to remove the title, insert the following in the CSS area of your blog.
Find this ->
/* Header
------------------------ */


and below it insert this ->

.titlewrapper, .descriptionwrapper{
display:none;
}

Yes, I'm in much higher spirits. The situation in Japan seems to be pretty stable right now, so that's made me pretty happy. Thanks. :] Glad you like the banners.

Thanks so much for the code, it worked perfectly!<3
