My blog\u00a0design is based on a very old WordPress template to match my website, and until I needed to add a new book cover to the blogroll, everything was working fine. WordPress has made updates to the way the blogroll works, and there must be some glitch happening because once I\u00a0opened the drop down window in the dashboard to\u00a0look at the book covers and URL links under <em>Cindy&#8217;s Books<\/em>, my blogroll widget decided that if I&#8217;m going to show Link Names for categories other than <em>Cindy&#8217;s Books<\/em>, then <em>Cindy&#8217;s Books<\/em> needs to show Link Names, too. Yes, the blogroll decided this all on its own. It&#8217;s quite evil.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t get my old blogroll to show only the book covers (Link Images) under <em>Cindy&#8217;s Books<\/em> while only showing Link Names under the Categories called <em>Cindy&#8217;s Sites<\/em>, <em>Fav Author Blogs<\/em>, etc., etc. I&#8217;m supposed to be able to, but the selections aren&#8217;t sticking. So, for now, <em>Cindy&#8217;s Books<\/em> shows only text links to Amazon. I figure the only way around this is to delete <em>Cindy&#8217;s Books<\/em> from the blogroll entirely and create a new <em>Cindy&#8217;s Books<\/em> in a text box that I am hoping I can link to images of my book covers.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m talking about, don&#8217;t fear, neither do I. I&#8217;m completely winging this, so if the blogroll looks like\u00a0a mess for the next couple of weeks, items keep disappearing or look like they&#8217;re repeating, don&#8217;t blame me. It&#8217;s the evil blogroll widget.<\/p>\n<p>All will look pretty again&#8230;someday before my new book releases&#8230;I&#8217;m sure. In the meantime, I&#8217;m only working on the website and blog changes on the weekends, so it&#8217;ll be a bit messy around here.<\/p>\n<p>And, if anyone knows the best way to insert book covers into the Text box widgets so they will look nice (example, take a look at the book covers on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alisonkent.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alison Kent&#8217;s blog<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/helenkaydimon.com\/blog\" target=\"_blank\">HelenKay Dimon&#8217;s blog<\/a>), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cindyprocter-king.com\/contact.html\" target=\"_blank\">please email me<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m currently updating my website and blog to reflect the December\u00a0release of WHERE SHE BELONGS (don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;m not tampering with the style sheet, which is what led to the hacking two years ago).
