When I checked the HTML for the Dr Karl Shuker box, the text was followed by line after line of blank, which is what was creating the huge gap underneath the box, so I just deleted these blank lines, and everything closed up beneath it. However, I've now moved this box to just beneath the blog title header anyway, so it all looks good! Thanks again!Dr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-86771594021225438812011-02-03T00:07:53.049+00:002011-02-03T00:07:53.049+00:00I just did a little google search of favorite colo...I just did a little google search of favorite color and it appears that blue is the overwhelming favorite. Maybe people just love anything blue. It'll be interesting to see how people respond if you keep posting odd colored animals. I look forward to seeing the purple cows and the pink hippos.Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437696792390507428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-81056982465785256382011-02-02T22:00:00.520+00:002011-02-02T22:00:00.520+00:00The Popular Posts and Labels gadgets appearing so ...The Popular Posts and Labels gadgets appearing so far down the page is strange. They should appear directly under the gadget above them.<br /><br />Have you tried positioning them above the Archive gadget? They should be above it anyway, as people tend to use the Labels to navigate on blogs rather than the Archives list. On your "Design" page, place your cursor over the "Labels" rectangle, hold down the left-click button on your mouse and drag the rectangle up to just above where the Archives rectangle is, then release the mouse button, and the Labels box should snap into place. Hopefully that should sort out your problem.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-91906765535865953032011-02-02T20:52:07.986+00:002011-02-02T20:52:07.986+00:00Sorted!

The Popular Posts and Labels widgets are now installed. I just wish I could get them to appear directly below the first three inserts in the side bar (i.e. the Nature Blog Network icon, the Blog Archive, and the Dr Karl Shuker info box), instead of considerably below them, but they will not position themselves there. Meanwhile, All I need to do now is find the Link Within gadget and install it. So thanks again, and all the best, KarlDr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-62742273568750046492011-02-02T20:36:29.405+00:002011-02-02T20:36:29.405+00:00Karl, in your Dashboard, go to the "Design&qu...Karl, in your Dashboard, go to the "Design" page. <br /><br />At the top of the dotted sidebar box, press, "Add a Gadget." A bunch of gadget suggestions will appear in a pop-up box. Simply click on the ones you want to install then press "Save". You don't have to make any changes to them. They're set up to work properly as they are. The "Popular Posts" gadget should be the first or second option that appears. The "Labels" one should be further down the list. <br /><br />As for the "Link Within" gadget, go to this site http://www.linkwithin.com/learn and follow the instructions. They're pretty straightforward. It only takes a few seconds to do and you're sorted. <br /><br />Once you've got them installed, just press "Save" at the top of your Dashboard page and you're done. :)Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-8903907067847223442011-02-02T18:26:04.286+00:002011-02-02T18:26:04.286+00:00Karl, look at the "Keywords" stats in th...Karl, look at the "Keywords" stats in the "Traffic Sources" section. That should give you a good idea of just what it is that's bringing the most people to your site and therefore what's the big attraction of your top posts. <br /><br />While I'm here I should also say you should install the "Popular Posts" and "Labels" widgets in your sidebar. Also Google "Link Within" and install the "Link Within" gadget on your site. I can pretty much guarantee it'll increase your page views dramatically if you do those three things.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-47010910158334415822011-02-02T03:34:29.216+00:002011-02-02T03:34:29.216+00:00I'm not sure, as there are certainly a fair fe...I'm not sure, as there are certainly a fair few species of blue butterfly, bird, flower, fish, and even lizards, frogs, and crustaceans, for instance. Perhaps the 'blue surprise' element kicks in when this colour, which is eyecatching at the best of times, is exhibited by animals not normally associated with it, such as tigers, horses, and spiders. Perhaps I could test this 'surprise' factor by writing about other vehemently odd-coloured beasts, of which I have plenty on file - everything from orange raccoons and bona fide purple cows to green polar bears and pink hippos (no, not George from Rainbow!). Having said that, I did post a blog here recently about pink elephants and white elephants, which didn't get into the all-time Top Ten of ShukerNature blogs, so who knows?Dr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-65991604725012047562011-02-02T03:17:48.427+00:002011-02-02T03:17:48.427+00:00I remember hearing quite some time ago that there ...I remember hearing quite some time ago that there are not that many things in nature which are blue, compared to other colors. In my mind this could account for people's fascination with blue creatures.Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437696792390507428noreply@blogger.com
