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.
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.

Thanks for the info on the change. I thought it was something to do with Windows 11, as I've had the experience of “mandated upgrade following de-support or obsolescence declaration”. Yes, I did try switching it off and on again. LOL. Bill, keep up the blog. My new hobby is to ignore AI generated summaries.
ReplyDeleteHey Bill! Good to knoww, I was on the site and had just added a comment to a post when it switched over. It was kinda weird :) The new site looks great!
