Add “Currently Reading…” column to blog.
-
I’m using the Quentin template and I would like to know if I can add a column or whatever of what I’m currently reading. Thanks for putting up with a question from this newbie.
Frank.

You can add a text widget to your sidebar, and manually update it, if that is what you mean. How do you want it to work/look?
We are a bunch of people here who would like to see a LibraryThing-widget, that would give covers and links.

@pawnraider – You can add graphics of book covers to a text widget for your sidebar. If you don’t know how to do that, search the FAQ for How to write links.

pawnraider – what do you mean it runs into one sentence?
Maybe all you need is to but
after each line, but if you give us a link to what you mean, that would make it easier to understand. -

You have everything in one list element. Try this:
‘
- first book
- second book
- third book
‘

Obvious issues there. I apologize. Replace the [ ]’s.
[ul]
[li]first book[/li]
[li]second book[/li]
[li]third book[/li]
[/ul]Again, sorry about the messed up posts. I can usually post code no problem.

flaneur – use the backtick (on the key to the left of the #1 on your keybvoard)
pawnraider – I think you just want a line between the names, right? Use this
first book <br /> second book <br /> third book <br />If you want to use an ordered list like flaneur is referencing, use:
<ul> <li>first book</li> <li>second book</li> <li>third book</li> </ul> -
You can just put `
‘ after each line and you can also use 1, 2 or more of those if you want more space. -

Without the backstroke, wordpress is putting that in not me. 2 brackets with br inbetween.
-
-
you can do that with css.
to buy it go to your dash board & click on “upgrades” and you can get it from there.
hope this helps! -

For making code for text widgets:
I keep a private code test page (make a page, check the box in the editor that says keep this private or don’t publish it and just keep it as a draft and then I also have all my widget text in case I switch themes or have a problem)
and set up my text in the editor visually then switch to html mode and just cut and past. It saves a lot of work and might be useful to those not too conversant with HTML tags.
(Sometimes the editor gloms it up with extra tags though if too many changes are made. Then one has to clear it all and start again)
