Random thoughts on art, technology, stuff, and occasionally Real Estate: TypePad Custom CSS - A Hairline For A Copy Cat Blog

TypePad Custom CSS - A Hairline For A Copy Cat Blog

The Fake Weenie takes another turn in the spotlight.  If you need a refresher on the original construction of the Fake Weenie, check here:  TypePad: Deconstructing A Weenie

You know, I'm sorta fond of hairline borders, and I think I'd like a hairline border separating the two columns of the Fake Weenie (http://www.fakeweenie.com/)

Here's a screen shot of the borderless weenie:

To create a hairline border separating the two column using custom CSS, do this:

Sign in to your TypePad account

Click Weblogs, select your blog.  Hit Design -> Click Edit Custom CSS

 

 Add this line of code to the Custom CSS text box:

.layout-two-column-right #alpha-inner {border-right: 1px solid gray}

(You know the drill -- Do NOT omit the DOT, the brackets are curly brackets)

Then click Save Changes

 

Back at the Design screen, scroll to the bottom, click Republish Weblog

  

 At the pop-up window, click Publish

Viola!  The Fake Weenie with a hairline border separating the columns:

If you are using a two-column layout with the sidebar to the left, or a three-column layout, your CSS code will be slightly different.  Stand by!

Coming soon:  Cheatsheets with the element names for the three most common TypePad layouts.

Oddly the fake weenie makes me a tad uncomfortable.

I thought maybe you'd like him.  :-)  You know, just as an experiment to see what it would look like with different borders or whatnot.   But, hey,  I can change it....

Teresa .... I'm a little too lazy to go back and change all the images in the previous blogs .... but for the future, how about I do experiments on this blog named after my favorite food group:
