Help adding asides?

Any help guys? would be major appreciated

Guys i tried all night to get them working but its a no go for me ??

Neil,

Are you trying to have the asides appear in your sidebar, or in the main content area like Matt’s done on https://ma.tt ? Sounds like the latter.

I’ve not done this before, but I’m certainly willing to help troubleshoot.

Maybe I’ll learn something. ??

sewmyheadon, just like matt has it, i have asides on my blog, but they look terrible plus the code is icky. This seems pretty easy, just cant figure out where to place the code.

If I’m correct, you actually have the asides working – they’re the little suckers with the red star next to them, correct?

Are you just hoping to make them stand out more and look better, or are you trying to group them at the top of the page?

Basically just to have the vertical line beside them like on matts page, thats all, pretty much. No grouping at the top ??

p.s the star posts are the asides posts, im using the code i found here, but the star look terrible hehe

Try adding this to your style.css file:

ul.asides_entry {border-left:5px solid #000;}

any particular place in style.css?

Nope, for ease sake I’d stick it right under:

ul { list-style-image: url(images/bullet.gif); }

OMG!!!!! Man you are legend!!! Thank you!! You know how long i have been trying to do that? wooooooooooooo

If i could colour them red and ditch the star that would be soooo kool!!!

Looks like you sorted the color, try this to remove the star:

ul.asides_entry li {list-style:none;}

Perfect, thank you very very very very very very much my friend. You a star!!!

Now off to try and fix the header probs ??

cheers mate!!

You’re most welcome. ??

Sorry man, there seems to be a problem. In IE all versions the asides got all messed up. In the theme i use there are two style sheets, one normal and then this : ie-win.css (ie-win.css)

#navigation { float: left; }

#navigation ul { float: right; }

#navigation li.active a:link,
#navigation li.active a:visited
{
	color: #555555;
	background-color: #ffffff;
}

#content-wrapper { width: 58%; }

#content pre { width: 360px; overflow: hidden; }

#wrapper h3.post-title a:link,
#wrapper h3.post-title a:visited
{
	border-bottom-width: 0;
}

#extras { padding-right: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 8px; padding-left: 0; }

#extras #friends ul { padding-left: 0; margin-left: 20px; }

#extras #links { width: 250px; }

Is there anything we can do to fix it?
