Aspire theme Problems

I have been trying to help a lot of people who have been facing problems in Aspire theme.

Now all of you can Post your problems for the blogger version of the theme and I will try to sort it out. Also I will publish first part tomorrow, 13 April 2009 (8:00 PM IST), about code to add a calendar to your blog, like the one I have.

None of the code for the calendar is mine, I have simply copied the code from the net and used it. Thanx to the coder.

I have seen over time that people are facing problem with this theme and as it is a beautiful theme I decided to help those who want to use it. This particular post should be used to put your suggestions and your problems so that I look into those and post the solutions.

  1. my blogspot blog is not pulling the date for the post - that square is stating: UNDEFINED undefined {for the big number and the month name}.
    this might have something to do with the fact i could not find where to edit recent post and recent comment widgets. where do i find those options?

    You have a very nice blog and I can see that you have put a lot of effort in putting it together. Keep up the good work.
    As for your problem regarding scrolling text.. it will take some time to find a solution. But for center alignment for Indian Flag and namaste image you can do following.

    Search for
    #sidebar-left

    You will see something like
    #sidebar-left {width:170px; float:left; overflow:hidden;}

    Change it to

    #sidebar-left {width:170px; float:left; overflow:hidden; text-align:center;}

    Do the same with #sidebar-right.

    Hope it helps.

    Also please mail me (its in my profile) the procedure you followed to add that scrolling text so that I can test it on my Test blog and give you the solution.

  5. Dear Mr. Walia,

    Thanks for your suggestions and complements. I have done as per your instructions but now the links and all text matter in side bar has also aligned to center. Can I align them to left or justified ? Please visit http://www.quackit.com/html/html_generators/html_marquee_generator.cfm for scrolling text.

    Regards,

    Prashant

  16. For some reason Photobucket is having problems serving up images for all templates on this site.

    Please inform me about where did you download your still working ASPIRE theme!
    Because this theme's image hosting site is probably different, not Photobucket.

  18. Dear Mr. Walia,

    I solved many of my problems by reading comments here. However, I have still 2 more questions.

    Visitor's can't post comments in my blog. I am new to blog and this theme. Can you please tell me how to solve this?

    Another problem is that I don't see the description of my blog completely. I have written few lines about my blog and I used to see that in another blogger template. But this theme just shows one line just below the title of my blog. Other lines are hidden. How can I solve this?

    Thanks a lot.

  19. Jaideep,
    I was finally able to find a workaround solution for adding a Blog Description to my Aspire template for Blogspot. So, you can ignore that now.

    However, I have since lost the "Older Posts" and "Newer Posts" links at the bottom of the page, and I can't seem to get them back! (I did notice that when I use CTRL-F to search for them in Internet Explorer, and they suddenly appear temporarily. Very strange!)

    FYI - My site is located at http://topdogblog1.blogspot.com. You can reply there by submitting a comment for any post.

    Please help, and thanks!

  20. Hi, Jaideep.
    What a great service you are providing fans of the Aspire theme. It is perfect for what I blog about (history) and I have had good success with it so far. I am looking forward to going through your "tricks" and upgrades.

    My problem is with the green boarder around photographs. I want to add some decor and the green boarder just ruins the effect. I tried playing around with the html to no success. Any suggestions?

  22. Hi. Are you still helping people who are having problems with Aspire? The theme is just what I have been looking for, and I would like to get it to work on my new blog www.treasureupwisdom.blogspot.com, but when I put it on my blog, the "follow blog" option at the top disappeared, and I would like that back. Also, I would like to have some sort of link back to your site so that people know where I got my cool theme, but I don't know how to do that. Can you help me? Please write me at schmutz.amy@gmail.com.

  28. Dear Walia,

    Firstly I would like to congratulate you for your effort to support this blogspot template.

    Secondly, I would like your help in order to increase the size of the third or second left hand column....
    Also, I can see that you have already add a box(top right side) which is not included in the original template.
    Can you please give me some guidelines how to solve those problems.

    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks
