I would like to add some content to my blog name - maybe a 1-2 line description right below. I can't seem to find information about how to do this.

I'm a total newbie, so please be gentle Wink

We do try our best to be kind to newbies, don't worry. Wink

See this article for information about modifying your Blog Name component:

http://demo.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2003/12/26/10894.html

Instead of entering the HTML code shown in that article, alter the code to this:

Code:
<div class="component">
<div class="componentBlogname">
<a href="{{blog.url}}">{{blog.name}}</a></div>
<div class="componentText">My one line description</div>
</div>


Let us know how that looks, and if you want to jazz up the text to a specific color or style, reply here and we'll help you with that.

John:

Thanks -- that was easy! Very Happy If I wanted more than one line, could I do that using html codes within that same code position?

Would it be possible to have two different font sizes in the blog name itself (for different emphasis of the components)?

Also, can I select a specific font size for the article title and for posts?
I couldn't figure out how to change the title size at all.
The jump from small to medium for the font of the posting seemed to be a big jump and that maybe I could choose a specific size. Possible?

Finally (I'm on a roll here!), can I insert a picture into a post?

Please let me know if any of my questions don't make sense! Wink

<div class="componentText">My second line of description</div>
</div>


Would it be possible to have two different font sizes in the blog name itself (for different emphasis of the components)?

Yes, it would be possible. You might need to change the {{blog.name}}, a macro which dynamically substitutes the Blog Name as entered into your control panel into that space, for the actual Blog Name itself.

Code:
<div class="component">
<div class="componentBlogname">
<a href="{{blog.url}}">small text <big>Bigger text</big></a></div>
<div class="componentText">My first line of description</div>
<div class="componentText">My second line of description</div>
</div>


might be one way to do it.

Also, can I select a specific font size for the article title and for posts?

See these posts in these forums for some ideas on how to do this:

The jump from small to medium for the font of the posting seemed to be a big jump and that maybe I could choose a specific size. Possible?

Yes, it is. See the above posts to change your size globally, and then you won't need to touch the Font Size control in the article editor of the control panel. In fact, if you want to be able to use CSS to change the size of the fonts globally, then you should use the Font Size control sparingly as it "freezes" the font size.

can I insert a picture into a post?

Sure can. There's a lot of information on how to do that in our user manual, the table of contents is here:

http://demo.blogharbor.com/blog/Manual

This section might be useful:

http://demo.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2004/6/3/82257.html

Finally (I'm on a roll here!)

Breaking your questions out into separate posts would be a good idea. Our forums are not only for you to get help, but for others to be able to find answers that have already been asked. So it's a good idea to separate your questions, and to start a new thread when you have new questions rather than replying to a response to one message with another question unrelated to the previous one.

Thanks John:

This was all clear enough for me to follow-through and play a bit - thanks!

And I promise to try to keep topics separate in the future Wink I just got so excited!
