  I’ve been using the Goodreads widget in my sidebar. It was displaying properly up until recent months. Now, it displays a very long empty space before the first book appears inside the widget. I’ve tried removing it and then adding it back in, but that doesn’t solve the problem. Please advise! Thanks so much.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  After looking into your account, I found that there was an issue with the CSS. In order to fix it we had to edit the CSS. The theme is expired so support is now closed for this theme. I’m so sorry for the inconvenience, so I have added the Custom Design upgrade to this blog for one year. I added the CSS to fix this widget.

  Please note that it might be a good idea to look into another theme. If there are bigger issues with the theme, it might be difficult to fix. Trying taking a look at new themes here:

  Happy Blogging!

  Thank you so much! I have no idea what CSS is, or how to go about changing themes once I find another one I like. But I will take a look at your link above and go from there I guess. Thanks for your help!

  Hi Grace, I have another question now. Because support for the Kubrik theme is no longer available, I’ve found a few other theme choices that I like, but I don’t want to pick one that will no longer be supported going forward (I don’t want to have to change themes every 2 years). I like the Twenty Eleven theme best…can you tell me how much longer there will be support for that one (before I make the change)? Thanks!

  Hi there,

  The Twenty Eleven theme is one of our most popular themes (3rd most popular to be exact). I do not see that theme expiring any time soon :) That would be a safe bet.

  Cheers!
