Put the Meteor Slides code in place of %images in ATO>Style & edit HEADER AREA>Configure Header Area if you want the slideshow where the header image is. You may want to change the width of of your layout (ATO>Style & configure LAYOUT) as well as it appears the slideshow is only 610px wide.

Thanks alot you have given me hope sir...is there a away to switch to the three columns format and keep the same parameters..As well is there a way to put an image beside the slide show...would I Insert code right next to the slide show code in ATO>Style & edit HEADER AREA>Configure Header Area

Some of what you are looking to do is through "New Widget Areas" (See ATO>Add New WIDGET AREAS). For instance you could create a two celled widget area in place of %image. Then you could put a widget for the slideshow in the logo in the other. To put the slide show in a widget will require using a widget that allows php code or you will have to install one of the sidebar shortcode widgets to allow you to put the shortcode for the Meteor Slideshow in a widget.

Addendum: I just saw that the Meteor Slideshow has its own widget so you could just put that in one of the widget areas.

This is the current code that is in my "Configure Header Area" The header disappeared ...I followed the instructions from the examples on the "new widget are" and the example code looked like its exactly what I wanted so I modified it. Is this correct? and if so after I do this were do i re-insert the meteor slideshow and add the youtube video .? I think If I can understand this process the rest of the site should be a breeze
%logo %pages <?php bfa_widget_area('name=Header&cells=2&align=1&align _2=3&before_widget=<div id="%1$s" class="header-widget %2$s">&after_widget=</div>'); ?>

Once you insert the code for a new widget area, you vidit the page to activate it then you go to dashboard->appearances->widgets and you will see your new widget area. Now you can drag the widgets you want to use into the widget area and check them out when viewing a page.

Is this code correct because I don't see my new widget areas

%logo %pages <?php bfa_widget_area('name=Header Cells a&cells=2&align=1&align_2=3&before_widget=<div id="%1$s" class="header-widget %2$s">&after_widget=</div>'); ?>

that exact code works for me

lmilesw Jul 27, 2010 12:45 PM

Phocusmag... After you added the code did you go to the site and refresh the page? Do you have a caching plugin installed?

Phocusmag Jul 27, 2010 01:32 PM

Cool it worked...whats the draw backs from having nothing but widgets running on your site...for everything...I just need to learn how to install stuff in the widgets and I think that im going to be rocking...or is this just the beginning ? (insert evil laugh)

juggledad Jul 27, 2010 01:41 PM

The more plugins/widgets you use, the more code is run and the slower your site will be

Phocusmag Jul 27, 2010 01:47 PM

darn..so whast the remedy...dont tell me hours on end sweating over a code book and crying tantrums of utter defeat?

juggledad Jul 27, 2010 05:15 PM

Im just telling you the possible problems. The remedy, get a really fast dedicated server:o or don't attract many users
