How to add categories to your sidebar
On some HSB template, a categories section is automatically added; on others, you need to insert it manually. Here's how you do it:
- Open your template in your account and scroll down to your sidebar section. Find the location you want your categories to be.
- You will probably want to have a heading that says "Categories" over the links themselves. To do this, look at the different sections in your sidebar (Friends, Links, About Me) and find one of these tags: < p class="sidetitle">, < p class="sidebartitle">, < p class="sideemp">, or something along those lines. Take note as to which of these your template uses--each one is different.
- Go back to where you want your categories. Type whichever of the above tags your template uses--for example, if you see in your friends section the the tag is <*p class="sidebartitle">Friends<*/p>, type this, changing the word "friends" to "categories" or whatever else you would like it to display. Do not include the asterisks between the brackets and letters--they are only there so you can see the actual HTML.
- Now it's time to insert the category links themselves. Type this: <*Categories> Once again, be sure not to include the asterisks.
- Directly after this, type <*a href='<*%CategoryURL%>'><*%Category%><*/a> <*br><*/Categories> Remember, no asterisks!
- It would be a good idea to preview your template, to make sure everything is working properly.
Helpful Hint:
If things seem to be piling up instead of going on separate lines, two very helpful tags are <*br> and <*p> (no asterisks!!). The <*br> tag will give you a break in the paragraphs. The <*p> tag will start a new paragraph. Use these wherever you need them to straighten things up.
