We talked about making the sidebar into two columns earlier, and I was waiting to find a slideshow widget. It seems that Photobucket has such a program, I just had to pretend that I had Blogger. The problem is that it is not doing what I wanted to do with the Wowzio program, which was to allow somebody to click on the picture and go to the discussion that the picture was originally from. I may still get that if I can get in touch with Wowzio later.

Here is a picture of what I envision for my blog. I don't know if it is possible to do but I would love to try to get there. Can you give me some direction?

So I would like to put my slide show next to my Header on the top. Also, I might want to move my avatar and description on top also with the whole thing clickable to the user profile.

Also, I will want my guest book and my other links to other websites on the left column

My main section in the middle should have a shortcut to previous and past pages permanently affixed to the top corners.

The right column will have Home page then Archives and then recent posts followed by the counter widgets.

Your help is much appreciated. BTW what do you think of the slideshow? I should be abel to change it.

I know that I have been a pain, and I really want to thank you. You had mentioned that having two sidebars was not a problem. Can we start with that and I will try to work it from there. Also, I somehow got my title shifted to the left side when I put the previous and next pages at the top. Can you help me center it if we can't place the other stuff next to it? Also, could you tell me what you think about the plans above before we do anything?

I have actually come up with a better look, I think. There are a couple of tweaks that I need to make, but i am having some problems with that. They are related and I lost the original setup. When I moved the previous and last page buttons, i wanted them to be locked at the top of the blog area instead of on the sides. Somehow that moved the title area to the left side instead of being centered. Could you help me with that?

That will work great, thanks!

I have signed up to publish on I and the Bird this week and do not have time to fix the rest of my post. Is it possible for you to send me the source code for the pictures that you redid my pictures with? The easiest way was could be to post it on my test blog.

I think that I am finished tweaking my page now and I will try to quit using up all of your time. What do you think about it? You have been great, and i hope that I have added something to this myself.

You rock!

Hey Andy, Don't scare me like that!!!! I am just participating with my own stuff right now, although when I get everything working I may consider it. I meant to say I am getting published, not publishing.
