Readers had to scroll endlessly to find the titles to my previous posts (Blogging three times weekly for over six months was adding up).
On other blogs, I noticed that post titles and labels often appeared inside a scroll box. Cool. But how did they do it?
Ater a lot of searching, I finally found an article called Put A Widget Inside A Scroll Box over at Blogger Sentral that explains how.
Don't be scared. It's not that hard to do. That is, IF YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
My advice (as a technologically challenged blogger) is to back up your template before making any changes to your HTML, so if you mess up you can recover your old one.
If you want to know how to back up your template (and your blog) go one of my previous posts, Back up Your Blog.
Then, when you start to follow the instructions for putting a widget inside a scroll box over at Blogger Sentral,
Find the EXACT CODE they SHOW YOU in your template before going on.
There's at least one other code in your template that looks similar, but find the EXACT ONE.
And then continue following the instructions.
When you're done, TEST, your results before saving them.
If the test works, great. If not, go over the instructions again. I had to redo it once. After I found my mistake and fixed it, all went well.
Good luck. It's a bit scary (especially for the technologically challenged), but the results are worth it.
