A survey of silly sidebar issues
-
devblog, I’ve looked into the Text Widget tagline method a little more, and I think it hits a snag on the example I’m using. But we’re a bit off topic at this point so I’ll start another thread.
-
@devblog: I’ve tried the text-widget/position-absolute trick for a tagline; works in some themes, doesn’t in others.
@whenpandasattack (“As for taglines, I think an option to show them or not would be great”): Are you referring to particular themes or not? Some themes do have that option. I can give you the list, if it’s any use.

panaghiotisadam,
Yes, Rubric is one of them. It has to do on how they’re originally styled.
I’m giving a bit more detail here:

@panaghiotisadam: I’ve really only looked at themes where the header image can be replaced, but the only option I’ve seen for taglines is to either have one or leave it blank. Other themes simply don’t seem to show taglines at all. I haven’t looked into devblog’s text widget solution.
I admit to only skimming those discussions, but should I take it that some CSS can be injected into themes via a text widget (without having the CSS option), or did I misunderstand?

@whenpandasattack: I can’t answer your question – that’s one for devblog. As for your first paragraph, no, there are several themes in which you get an option to hide the blog title and the tagline.

In an html page, a style block can be placed in the body section. Since a Text widget places code into the body section, your reasoning makes sense. However, on trying this out, I see that WP strips out the style tags from a Text widget.
Bottom line… if you want to have control over CSS it looks like you need the CSS upgrade.
