About Our New SolderSmoke Blog Template

About 17 years ago, when I set up the SolderSmoke blog, I wanted three columns.  Google Blogger/Blogspot didn't seem to have one, so I expanded my search.  I ended up using an external (to blogspot) template.  All was well until recently the SolderSmoke blog started to look kind of strange.  

I consulted with Peter VK3TPM.  He looked at the code and concluded that it was probably a problem with the external template.  He suggested just changing the template to one that is provided by Google Blogspot.   I didn't want to get into a lot of digital troubleshooting and fruitless calls to help lines, so that is what I did.  

The new template seems to work well.  There are (kind of) three columns.  I kept most of the widgets from the old blog.  I cleaned it up a bit.  I think it looks pretty good.  

Thanks Peter for the good advice.

  1. Many of my projects cause effusive weeping and has nothing to do with cutting up onions. Often it is a FTRD (failure to read directions), haste as in connecting reverse voltages, or just plain lack of full research about what I am doing. The term smokedparts says it all.
