Thank you!

I saw that, thanks. I may give it a shot; I just wanted to ask you about the alternate concept I mentioned above first.

I'll let you know how it goes when I have a chance to try it. Thanks again for all your help!

Hi,

I want to block all search engine spiders from indexing my blog pages. Where do I place the norobots code to accomplish this, and is there more effective code to use than the norobots parameter?

Thanks!

Some folks at Stack_Overflow recommended changing the filename of style.css to style.php, changing the mime-type to text/css, then adding php argument code to it so that the php would run when the css was called but would also still work as a valid .css file. (Multiple methods available to do this.....

Have you tried applying the style inside the iframe in the CSS of your parent page, instead of in the CSS of your blog page? You need to find a way CSS-wise to make the blog work with and without the iframe concept, so that only your parent page is responsible for properly formatting the page, and ...

Thanks, Don. I do understand the RSS concept, I'm just utilizing the RSS feed of my serendipity installation in a unique manner that suits my needs. I've deactivated URL rewriting in my admin panel, as I don't want any search engines picking up my serendipity pages. These are intended to be used as ...

With further dissecting of the blog, I've figured out that the RSS feed is only being used for a simple overview of the posts in the blog. Once the "Read More »" link (which is probably generated by the site that is reading the RSS feed) is selected for a certain entry, it links to "s...

Thank you!! Now for the final question: How does one go about inserting STYLE information into the .tpl file? Do you just throw it in there or do you need to specify headers for that portion of the code? And if so, how should it be written? I tried adding this header to the .tpl file: <?xml-styleshe...

Text color should not really be rendered in your RSS feed unless that info is part of your entries. As has already been mentioned, that information is part of my entries. I have attempted to make alterations to each one of the feed*.tpl files in the /default/ dir by changing certain code in each fi...

Thanks for the info! I am having trouble figuring out which feed*.tpl file is being used with my blog. There are a lot of them. Any suggestions? Another question; Is there any way to strip out certain code from the data that is broadcast by serendipity in it's RSS feed? I have "full color"...

I don't understand why I can't solve this with CSS either, so welcome to the club! AAAHH! Update... I finally figured out how to do it. I was editing the wrong htmlarea.css file!! I finally tried editing the htmlarea.css file in the /default/ folder and it worked! Sorry to take up your time with thi...

Hi,

Is there a way to set CSS parameters for the serendipity RSS feed independent of the CSS for the actual blog itself?

Thanks,

Thanks for your response! I can't have a black colored background element of any kind on the entry, as I've designed the entries via the CSS in serendipity to render with transparent backgrounds. So in the second method you've described, is the black div something that would have to be edited out la...

Hi, In short: I need to be able to change the background color of the WYSIWYG editor to black, for both NEW entries and EDITing of existing entries. Changing the background color of the editor via rendering of it's HTML contents is not acceptable in this instance. I need the actual editor code to ma...

Thanks for the info! Much appreciated.

No, I know nothing about the staticpages plugin. I'll definitely look into it.

In the meantime, any helpful info you might be able to offer up in that regard would be very much appreciated.

Thanks again!
Chris
