How to Align logo and ads underneath
 

Hello,

You've all been very helpful to me in this forum, just want to say thanks!

I was finally able to add the widgets to my header. But I'd like to center align the logo and then have the 2 banner ads underneath it side by side. I'm using Simple Image plugin, btw.

Can you please tell me what code I need to add?

Here's my url: http://gator541.hostgator.com/~acoc2011/

Many thanks, again!

You should be able to adjust the logo position in the theme options. What is the code you used for the widget areas and where did you put it? If you added a two celled widget area for the ads I'm not sure why they are under one another. You may also want to hide the post, comments, and search box if you want to center the logo and ads. It's hard to give you exact code for this as there are several interrelated items (EG the widget areas, logo, and other items in the logo area).

Hi Larry,

Here's the code I put in the Configure Header box:
I placed Simple Image plugin inside each widget where I inserted graphic and url for each ad.

I tried to place the both Simple Image plugins inside one of the widgets but that didn't do anything.

I'm lost. Thanks for your help !

If you replace your code with something like the following you will get a two celled widget area. This way your two image widgets will be side by side.

Larry,

I replaced my code with your code but my logos disappeared altogether. Do I need to rename my widgets? Do I need to add something to the CSS? Again, I am completely lost!

What I generally do when changing the widget areas is to...

• Delete the old code and save
• Go to ATO>Add New Widget Areas and delete the old widget areas
• Add the new code to where you removed the old code from
• Go to the site and refresh the home page a couple of times
• The widget areas should show now and you can populate with widgets.

Many thanks ! Take a look if you have a moment. :)

So is that how you want it to look?

Why, does it look bad? :-/

I would like the logos to be a tad closer together. I am open to suggestions if it would improve the look!

I'm also at the mercy of the clients I am designing this for. I added a background color but that may change according to what they like or want.

I just ask the question so I know what you or the client or looking for. To get those ads closer together you could set the alignment on the widget areas to top/right on the right ad and to top/left on the left ad to center them right next to each other. Or you can set the width of the widget area to what would be big enough to hold the two widgets. If you look in ATO>Add New Widget Areas you will see how this alignment and width stuff works. It might take a bit to wrap your head around it but it is pretty straight forward.

you might want to move to a fixed width page. If you resize the page the ads move and it looks a little strange...

Thanks so much. I'm going to try your suggestions tomorrow and see how it works.
