“hide” or make invisible the title on a page ??

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi!

    all i want to do is somehow hide or not make visible the title on a page.

    The reason being, I want to put an image which will have the title on it.

    I DON’T want it be effective on all my pages. (Not that have a bunch right now, but I will have more:)

    Can this be done? For instance on my “about” page..

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

    If you mean on the actual page itself, you just delete the title.

    Attempted. But didn’t work, cause it just deleted the page altogether. It won’t even show under my “pages” widget.

    any other tips?
    thanks

    A page isn’t deleted if you change its title – including changing it to no title. (Even if you publish a new page with no title, it will automatically get a number as its slug.)

    But of course an untitled page won’t show in the Pages widget. You can write links to your pages in a text widget instead.

    Alternative: if the page in question is to start with an image, add a negative margin-top (possibly margin-left too) to the image code so that it will hide the title.

    well, almost here is my code

    <img STYLE="TOP:-89px;" src="http://roachii.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/myface2.jpg" alt="bar" />

    the “LEFT:-10px;” doesn’t seem to move it =

    i want the image to be flush with the start of the start of the title … as you can see the it almost cover but not quite far left enough.

    Or am i completely off??

    &Yes, my image needs to be longer (and wider) I’ll be editing it tomorrow -So it covers the underline as well.

    Try
    <img style="margin-top:-89px;margin-left:-10px;" src= etc.

    it worked out. I noticed it looks perfect on Firefox. but it’s slightly off a few pixels in Safari.. i imagine there will be inconsistencies on other browsers, but oh well, it’s okay with me!!

    thanks!

    Sorry, it doesn’t work:

    Firefox and Opera: flush left, right, top.
    Safari: higher and more to the left.
    Flock: higher and 1px to the right.
    Explorer: higher and a couple of pixels narrow, photo straddling it.

    (I don’t know what the problem with Andreas04 is and you’re getting this: doesn’t happen with other themes I’ve tried such tricks in.)

    So you’d better return to just deleting the title.

    Or you could consider customizing a more recently designed theme. Vigilance has the kind of sidebar structure you’re apparently interested in: a 300px single column followed by two 140px columns.

    thanks for the insight. i just downloaded opera and flock to see and you’re right. Except on my computer Flock looks good. Perhaps it’s cuz I’m on a mac.. cant view it on IE (mac), but it sounds right, IE is always different. Which is especially annoying because everyone (PC people) seems to use IE. =

    I’m shamelessly unmotivated to customize another layout for now tho. I plan on making another blog strictly for my art/portfolio. So I will keep Vigilance in mind, I scoped it out and it is like my set up.

    thanks again

    maybe i’ll add a paper clip graphic to title image to make the uncentered-ness look intentional (;

    You’re welcome and sorry I sort of misled you with that idea – should have tested it with Andreas04 before suggesting it.

    I’m a Mac user too. The difference in Flock must be because I’ve deliberately kept an older version (behaves differently than the latest versions of Safari and Firefox). But I’ve got a PC too, to check things in IE. The problem with IE is that it ignores many web standards; unfortunately many PC users are unaware of that, and stick to IE just because Microsoft has planted the thing in their computers…
