I’m officially going dark on the blog until after Christmas. Book deadlines looming and I’d like to enjoy my family over the holidays a bit too. When I come back, I hope to have some updates on the Blog with Integrity webinars for next year. I’m also going to be digging into whether companies doing blogger outreach and affiliate marketing are informing bloggers of the obligation to disclose.
Or not. So far, it’s looking like not.
The design of Marketing Roadmaps changed last weekend from a custom design to the Thesis theme. While I am a proponent of custom design, I wanted to document the process of using a template for my book, Professional Blogging for Dummies (Wiley, Summer 2010). It was pretty smooth sailing except for the graphic header.
As you can see (if you are viewing the blog not just the feed), I am still using the custom graphic Roadmaps header, but as of this writing, we still haven’t figured out how to extend the header to the orange background without losing the padding to the left and right of the content areas.
So, please don’t email me that the header is getting chopped off to the left and right. I know. A friend who knows Thesis has offered to help next week.
Stay tuned, and have a happy holiday.

I’m glad it’s back up. Your header looks fine on my screen. I’ll be looking more into this theme before we make the change. Translated: I’ll be wringing my hands while my husband talks about THE CHANGE. 🙂

Thanks. Someone is helping me fix it to what I really want it to look like. Thesis seems to be a very flexible theme, but it is not that easy to customize it. I will document what I learned in this process, here on the blog and in the book.
