This is something I really want to get rolling... all the different things people crowbar their Tumblr into doing. Me, I'd like to learn how to do a sidebar with text in it... anyone?

I've added sidebars on either side of my tumblelog. It's really pretty easy. All you have to do is add a new div for the new sidebar wherever you'd like the content to show up and you're all set.

I don't think I can display the code in this message without it coming out all messed up...Let me know if you'd like some help setting it up and I can forward the code to you.

Quick tip.
to show code in your forum' posts, replace:
< by & l t ; (no space between characters)
> by & g t ; (no space between characters)
I've used this in my other post in this discussion and everything is ok.

Could you help with the sidebars? I would love to get the code forwarded to me!

Is there any way to make it dynamically update?

[poirpom]

I have no idea. Sorry. We have have to find this out.

Well, I spent some time yesterday figuring it out. I kinda had to crash course myself some CSS. But, it's up, it works. Go here!

You can also enclose example things here in a "code" tag. Treat it just like you'd put text in bold or italics in html with a start and end tag but use the word "code" instead. Like this


Enter your code here!

At the moment I am taking a look at the tumblr tags... there are some cool stuff about images and I was hoping to put together a them for photographers....

I made a cool sidebar that shows 5 posts from 200 posts ago. It is a bit of ajax that reads the Read Api xml. Code is in my tumblelog (http://perelson.tumblr.com/post/12658826).

Very good, but I came to tumblelog and did not find anything to implement it in mine. Could you put the code that you have in your tumblelog here?
