Where’s my header in Rubric?

  • Unknown's avatar

    My blog: http://jjgrant.wordpress.com

    Uploaded a picture for my header but the tag line specified in the General page of Settings isn’t there. Clicked on “hide text/show text” in the Custom Header page but that doesn’t make it show up.

    Can you help me? Thanks in advance. Joe

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

    Not all themes show the tagline, Rubric is one that does not. It was the theme designer’s decision.

    You can put the tagline into a text widget at the top of the sidebar.

    What is a ‘tagline’? (I too have Rubric.)

    Another word which is not yet in my vocabulary.

    thesacredpath – Thank you for the prompt reply. Now I understand, and I’ll try your suggestion of using a text widget at the top of the sidebar.

    lifemagician – a tagline is brief description of the purpose and intent of your blog. If your theme supports it (mine doesn’t, apparently!) you can find a space to incorporate it in your header on the General page of Settings right below where you put in your blog’s title.

    It is a second title line that people use to tell a little bit about the blog and it typically appears right below the title.

    Example

    Title: Mendo Coast Current
    Tagline: The Renewable Energy Viewscape from the Mendocino Coast

    Thank you sacred, sounds like it is like a sub-heading.

    I shall have to go and find out how to do that.

    Sounds like it could be the answer to what I am looking for, I want the main title to be my trip, and then have a subtitle for every page, with the name of the place or the leg of the trip to which that page refers.

    So much to learn, so confusing!

    @lifemagician, Rubric does not show the tag line in the header. A number of themes here do not (designer’s choice).

    With Rubric, you will have to put the tagline into a text widget at the top of the sidebar instead, or switch to a theme that does display the tagline.

    Quote”….or switch to a theme that does display the tagline.”

    Yeah, I will, thanks! Seems that is the answer. Have not yet worked out the meaning of ‘widget’ (or for that matter a thousand other terms).
