[edit] Help page error

Category and author examples seem messed up? --◄mendel► 01:02, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

The category example uses the <author> tag, and vice versa. JesseRoo (Talk)

I've just created a blog list and this isn't true.

Eric Ryan Jones just fixed the description (thanks Eric!) Kirkburn (talk) 12:07, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Limiting the amount of summary text shown

I'm currently in search of a way to limit the amount of text it show, for a main page sumary of all blogs posts. — TulipVorlax 17:19, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

TulipVorlax: the way is to enter "summarylength=(number)" as a variable in the bloglist tag. Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar ^{Talk} 14:34, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, i've set it up to 150. — TulipVorlax 04:32, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Changing the colours

How do I change the header color and header font color? It's defaulting to the wikis skin.. //--TehK 19:45, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

TulipVorlax: No problem. :) TehK: Enter style= and use normal CSS styling such as "color:" and "background-color:". Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar ^{Talk} 09:28, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I can't get the header color to change though :( //--TehK 21:53, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Which header colour, specifically? The heading on File:Wikia blog articles 3.png? Kirkburn (talk) 12:07, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bloglist width

Is it possible to vary the width of the bloglist? I don't see it listed as one of the variable parameters. -- yoda8myhead 09:23, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

I believe the style parameter should allow you to do that? e.g. style="width:600px;" Kirkburn (talk) 13:34, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
