Well, well, well . . . all you Readers might be really good at reading blogs and writing blogs, and leaving witty comments, but it appears that you all SUCK in the technical blog design department. Most specifically, the correction of disappearing sidebars. Not one of you could come up with a solution to my problem (this one here). Very, very disappointing. Apparently you only specialize in the Funny.
But in a moment of clarity, I had an idea. I had seen the same blog design firm’s button on several of the sites I read, so I fired off an email to Bloggy Blog Designz describing my rather unpleasant sidebar situation.
And what to my wondering eyes should appear only a few hours later????
A very delightful email back from the very knowledgeable Jenna describing what she thinks the problem might be and how to fix it.
And she was bang on! Bang on I tell you!
And since I now know that none of you are very technical, I’m going to grab this opportunity to make myself sound much more brilliant than I really am. Ready?
You see, it turns out the problem was the result of an open <div> tag in the html of a post I did a week ago. Actually (more impressive techy talk coming . . . ) the open tag was embedded in the poll plugin I used. ha ha ha! Can you believe that?! An silly old open tag! Who knew!
As promised, I gave the solver of the problem her choice of prizes from my list. And she’s going with “a shout out and link on my soon-to-be-fixed sidebar for a week”.
So that’s where you will find Bloggy Blog Designz for the next 7 days. Over there, on the upper right of my page. Just click her button to get to her site. Give her a visit, check her out. Treat yourself to a little somethin’ somethin’.
I, on the other hand, am going to sleep like a baby tonight knowing that all is right with The Only Girl again. Thanks for nothin’ Bloggies.

Glad you got it sorted! I’m currently a blogger girl so all things wordpress are lost on me at the moment. Once I get the guts to make the big move I will be a wordpress wiz in no time (well maybe not bu I’ll have more of a clue than I do now!),

Hi, stopping by from SITS. It feels so good when you figure stuff out!
When I started blogging and wanted to make a button it took me so long. I was frustrated and searching the internet for help. When I told my friend of my “big accomplishment” she thought it was no big deal because she had just made hers and she thought it was so easy!!

Stopping by from SITS to say hello!

Cher – so glad it was resolved and you are such a doll. Have missed you babe. Been a little bizzy. Oh and Jenna sounds very cool – I hope she gets a lot of traffic from your site, you little damsel in distress.

Glad you could find someone to help you out with your pboblem.

I told you it was html, Cher. Duh. You should have known it was an open tag thingy in your poll. Double Duh.
Still shocked as ever that she didn’t want a picture of Haley.

um yeah, i never would have known that. unless google translator can do english to html….i am fairly useless. i can only copy and paste already put together stuff.
but i went and visited the smart ladies site- very cute stuff!!
i can’t believe she didn’t want a pic of the mini ga/surferkid either.

Well if only I’d stumbled upon your blog on SITS earlier, I could have solved ALL your Blogging problems.
….Yeah so I totally couldn’t have solved anything. I probably would have left some smartass comment and been useless. But a girl can dream, can’t she? Glad to hear you got your problem fixed.

Open thingy next to the other thing in the code bit. I’m pretty sure that’s what I said.
