Halfway color and placement on Description

[WinsomeWorks]

On my homepage, it says "Anna Lisa's Home" at the top left. For some reason, it's half green, half grey & I have no idea why. Also, if I want to change this to say "Anna Lisa Yoder's Photos" instead, could someone tell me where to do this? Is it possible, or will it change something else on my site? Looking at my CSS & html, I wasn't sure where to place these changes. One last related question-- I know that the Galleries page is basically a homepage clone, but I didn't think that my Galleries page said "Anna Lisa's Home" at the top in the past. It does now. Can I get rid of it on there? Or-- It would be great if it said "Anna Lisa's Galleries" on the galleries page instead. I guess if it can't, it's better to have nothing at all. --Anna Lisa http://www.winsomeworks.com

I'm no expert, but looking at the color issues it looks like the link (Blogspot.com) that this points to is only on the Anna Lisa part of the text. the "s" and "Home" seem to be separate even though all the text points to the link.

I would guess this is something to do with link colors.

If you have a power or pro account, you can remove that text via the easy customizer. Go to the easy customizer, and select "HomePage", from there, you can choose to remove "Anna Lisa's Home".

I'm not sure that you can get rid of it if you have a standard account.

I would guess this is something to do with link colors. Oh-- wow! I didn't even realize it was pointing to a link! It's not supposed to be! Only the word "Blog" on my tab is supposed to point to my blogspot page. Hmmm-- Now I will have to figure out how to get it to NOT point to a link at all.. it was supposed to be just a simple description of my page, since my homepage banner says WinsomeWorks and doesn't have my name on it anywhere else.

When I looked at my advanced customization, I wasn't entirely sure which part of the text referred to this-- I think because there are more than one thing titled "Anna Lisa's home" or something. I'll try to find the code & paste it here.

--- Denise I tried reading all that, and looked completely through my CSS & html. I just can't find a source for those words "Anna Lisa's Home" that are on my homepage, so I don't know where the page has been told to say that, or where it's being told to link to my blog. I don't see any parts of code or html that seem to be referring to this title. There's a page title I see in my code. (the one that says it's for searches to find you) But that's listed as "Anna Lisa's WinsomeWorks", not "Anna Lisa's Home". So that's not it either. I can't do anything to affect those words if I can't even find them in my code. It's been too long since I did my customizing & I just can't recall these things & know almost nothing about code.

Not sure how you got the homepage breadcrumb to link to your blog, might want to look over your control panel, maybe check your "user name"?

To change it back to one color, add this to your CSS:




#homepage
#breadCrumbTrail a
{color:#8CCA1E !important;
text-decoration:none;}





To remove all together, add this to your CSS:


.homepage #breadcrumb
{display:none;}





Post back if you find anything in your control panel that's "weird".

Also, try removing the red from your custom header box, it's invalid and might be your problem.

Well, yeah-- the weird thing is that the line you have in red does not appear at all in my custom header box! I see all the rest-- exactly-- up through the second-to-last thing: </div> but I do not see the very last line you have listed in red. I did add the part to my CSS box that you said may fix the color, and it does-- now it's all green. It's still linking to my blog though, and I don't know why, unless it's the phantom line. I don't know how to change a line I can't see! Could the Smug gurus change it for me if they had a password or something? Or could it be that I need to change something in my blog rather than here? I'm stumped. Thanks for the help so far though!

As I noted in my previous post, the answer is in question # 23 in the link that I provided. If you read that answer, and clicked where it said this code will hide... you would have found this code:
/* hides your name (including any 's) */
#userName {
display: none;
}
/* hides the word home */
#userHome {
display: none;
}
/* remove the 's */
.possess {
display: none;
}
Add it it your CSS.

Hey Denise,

Any ideas why this was happening? Why the homepage breadcrumb is pointing to her blogger? Just curious, as I have never seen that before, but I guess the best thing to do, is just remove it from the homepage.

--- DeniseI'm sorry-- There were a number of times in the past 3-4 days where I couldn't get onto DGrin to respond, and I then forgot to say that yes, I did find that spot then (I'd originally, stupidly, missed the "#23" part of your post, Denise). However, as I said earlier, I really don't wish to remove my name from my page, as it's the only place it appears at all. If I could remove it on only the galleries page, or have it say something different there, that would be ok. But if not, I'd rather leave it on both. All I really want to do is make it so that it doesn't link to my blog. I've only had the blog since a week ago, so clearly this is something that just recently happened. I'm sure I probably placed something wrong in my code, but whatever it is, I can't find it. It's odd that JAllen sees a line in my code that I can't even see in my Advanced Customization. It sounds like that's the offending line, but does anyone know why I can't see it? --Anna Lisa

Look at your control panel on this page, under "nickname", and make sure you didnt insert a link in there instead of just text:






http://cdn.smugmug.com/img/help/control-panel/control-panel-settings-7.jpg

[WinsomeWorks]

Nope, just this:
Name: Anna Lisa Yoder (https://secure.smugmug.com/homepage/settings.mg?settings=main) Nickname: annalisa (https://secure.smugmug.com/homepage/settings.mg?settings=main) Displayed as: Anna Lisa (https://secure.smugmug.com/homepage/settings.mg?settings=main) | change (https://secure.smugmug.com/homepage/settings.mg?settings=main) ETA: Umm, well, at least they didn't look like links. When I click on them, it takes me to my log-in page. Is that wrong? I haven't changed anything on there in ages, though. Certainly not since I added my blog just over a week ago.

[WinsomeWorks]

I still haven't resolved this... see all the convos below if you're curious. The words "Anna Lisa's Home" on my homepage are still linking to my blog. I don't want to remove the words... just don't want them linking to my blog. Only my "Blog" tab should do that. I still don't understand why JAllen can see a line in my CSS that I can't see. I know the whole thing isn't a big issue in the scheme of things, just a minor irritation, but it's perplexing. The main reason I'd like to find an answer is that I've only had the blog for a few weeks, & if I upset some apple-cart when I put up my blog, it would be nice to at least know what & where the problem is, in case of other related issues. Prior to 3 weeks ago, these words couldn't have linked to my blog. I wasn't aware that they linked to anything. I'm also hoping to soon improve my navbar & should resolve this first. http://www.winsomeworks.com The blog is: http://www.winsomeworks.blogspot.com in case the problem is there and not on Smug, but I don't see how it could be only there.

Try adding the red here, in your bottom java-script box:










function hasPath(sPath)

{

re = new RegExp("\/" + sPath + "(\/|$)");

return re.test(window.location)

}

if (hasPath("galleries"))
YD.addClass(document.body, "galleries");


function ModifyText ()

{

if (YD.hasClass(document.body, "gallery_4555107"))

{

var objElement = YD.get("comment")

if (objElement != null)

{

var str = new String(objElement.innerHTML);

str = str.replace(/\gallery/gi, 'guestbook');

objElement.innerHTML = str;

}

}

}



YE.onAvailable("comment", ModifyText);

// Facebook button

var pos = window.document.URL.indexOf("gallery");

if ( SM) {

var thisURL = webServer + "/gallery/" + AlbumID + "_" + AlbumKey + "/1/" + ImageID + "_" + ImageKey ;

:ear Hmmm, I don't see any change in anything on my pages after adding this. The words "Anna Lisa's Home" are still linking to my blog on both the homepage & galleries page. Sorry to be a pain-- I'm just completely clueless.

[WinsomeWorks]

Still haven't figured this out.... see the sordid details below. The green words "Anna Lisa's Home" are linking to my blog. The words link to my blog on my Homepage as well as all its dup. pages such as the "All Galleries" page & "Map & Recently Added" page. Nothing we've tried so far has broken the link. I want my name there as it's not on my page elsewhere. I don't particularly need it to link AT ALL, unless someone lets me know a reason why I may want it to. Sleuths?

Now I've got a real problem with this. At first it was just an annoyance that I wanted solved. But tonight I couldn't even add a gallery to "featured galleries" because of it. When I go into a gallery & click on "feature gallery" in order to get it into my "featured" box, I'm then taken to my galleries page to choose #1, #2, #3, or #4-- which slot I want the gallery in. Problem is, I can't even choose, because of that box's proximity to those blasted linked words!! I try to choose a number, & the click just takes me right to my blog instead. When I go back, the option is lost. As you can see, there are only 3 galleries featured in my box now, & that's why! I can't add any more, and have already lost a couple that I didn't mean to lose. I just don't understand how there can be this invisible link. I've searched & searched my code & have no idea where it's coming from.

I would try this for now, so you aren't fighting this problem, maybe email the help desk, and refer them to this thread:



.homepage #breadcrumb
{display:none}

[J Allen]

Or try this as a workaround, it'll look the same, and have your name there...but wont link to anything!! :thumb


Add this to the bottom of your custom header box:




<div id="home-page-name">Anna Lisa's Home</div>






Then add this to your CSS box:






#home-page-name
{display:none;
color:#8CCB18;
font-size: 130%;
margin-left:58px}

.homepage #home-page-name
{display:block}

.homepage #breadcrumb
{display:none;}

Thanks so much for tackling this, Joe! Unfortunately, it seems to be a very stubborn problem... the most stubborn one I've ever had here. I think you're right-- I'd better check w/ support. I did try adding your suggestions, but the only thing that seemed to change was the color of the text-- it turned to gray instead of green. It still links to my blog, & I tried featuring a gallery again & it wasn't possible. The text for "feature gallery" turns HUGE & links when you're trying to do this operation. Very bizarre. One question though-- I added the <div id="home-page-name" thing as the VERY LAST thing in my custom header box. Was that correct? I think just above it then were a <u and a <div or something like that. Just wondering if I placed it correctly. Thanks again --Anna Lisa [ETA: Do you still see this line in my custom header box, Joe? <a href="http://www.winsomeworks.blogspot.com"> 'cause I never did find that line. ]

Joe, it looks like I just fixed it. Not that I can take any credit. JFriend noticed that I had something missing in this line of code:

<li><a href="http://www.winsomeworks.blogspot.com">Blog</a></li>

" </a> " was missing! That fixed it! No more linking! Yippeee! The odd thing though, was that in the code you saw & copied for me to show me what to fix, I see that that part was NOT missing. I wish I could understand how the code you saw appeared different from what I saw, & also evidently from what jfriend could see. Just when I think I'm beginning to get a little smarter about this stuff, I see I'm nowhere! Anyway, kudos... we all tried. At least I can shut up about this now-- I've checked it in IE 8 and FF, so hopefully other browsers will like it too. Thanks again.
