Looking For Some Help!
Feb 27th, 2008 by admin
Hey everyone! It sounds funny saying that because I know few people probably read this blog!
Anyways, I was wanting to pose a question to someone out there who might be savvy with WordPress. I have no problems when it comes to doing HTML but when it comes to doing PHP or whatever it is in WordPress then I am lost. What I need help with is finding a way to put a button on my sidebar that shows I am a Carnival of Genealogy blogger. It helps to promote the Carnival and it might make my page look a little better! 
(Just kidding about the page looking better!)
Is there someone out there who would have the know how to help me with this? I have copied the button from Jasia’s page but I don’t have a clue where to put it. I can get to the part of the theme editor where it says something about sidebar but all I see is PHP this and PHP that. I don’t have a clue where to put it and I don’t want to see my blog look like a mess.
Thanks to anyone who might be willing to take on this challenge!
Hi Ken!
Here’s a link with instructions on how to put the COG button in your side bar if you’re using Wordpress.com.

If you’re using the downloaded and installed version of Wordpress I would recommend you check out Lorelle’s blog. http://lorelle.wordpress.com/ She’s the guru of all how to do just about anything with the installed version of Wordpress. Try doing a search on her blog for information on how to get that button on your sidebar.
And thanks for participating in, supporting, and promoting the COG Ken! It’s greatly appreciated!
Ken, the problem causing the lines under the image is your style sheet. The link (to COG) is not styled so it is picking up your default page/post style for links. I noted somewhere else that you are familiar with your stylesheet’s css so look and see if you have anything already dealing with image link styles, and if not, you can add it by putting into your css file: a img {border: none; } That should take care of your problem, but if not, drop me a line.
