Some of the WordPress blog templates are, well to me, just plain boring. The default template that most of use to start an insurance blog is probably the most boring template I have ever seen. All you can do is type paragraph after paragraph in a single column, then if you want to include Google AdSense ads, the only place to put them is between the paragraphs of the post. Let’s look at a very simple way to “divide” the blog page into two columns using simple “tables”.
Simple “Tables” Will Give You More Control of Your Blog PageLet’s suppose I wanted to add an image to the right of this paragraph. All I have to do is put that image in a “table” and there it is! |
 |
Here’s the actual “code” of the above paragraph and image:
|
<table width="500" border="0">
<tr valign="top"> <td width="280"><div align="left"> |
Let’s Break This Down A Bit:<table width="500" border="0">
<tr valign="top"> |
We are simply telling our computer to draw a “table” or “box” that is “500″ pixels wide (approximately 5 1/2 inches). We don’t want a border. |
| <td width="280"><div align="left">
<td width=”220″><div align=”center”> |
We want this “table” divided into two columns, one “280 pixels” wide and the other, “220 pixels” wide.
|
So, here’s what we have:
Tables Are Made Up Of:
- Table Rows = “tr”
- Table Data = “td”
If you want to try “Tables” in your blog pages, just “Copy” and “Paste” the above code. This table is “500 pixels” wide and should fit in most blog templates. If it doesn’t fit, reduce the size of the table to say “480″.
You will, of course, substitute your own text in place of mine.
You can also place Google AdSense ads in either of the two columns.
It’s not really that complicated, just very difficult to write instructions on how to use it. My best suggestion is just to play with it until it works the way you want it.
