This looks like a very informative blog and I will be sure to link to it!
I already forget how I did it, but the "favicon" is an interesting and fun tool!
Oh Skeez! You are on the cutting edge of cat blogging - this is a great idea! We would be happy to help out!
I luff this blog skeezix fanks we haave some question how do you cange the walper on the back and we tryed to get it from your template but we could not figer out the html. please help ps you should do a fing on how to link in bloger beat uses it so much easer
OK, we have a question. Lots of times when someone leaves a comment, they "highlight" a few words and link them back to something. Either another cats blog, or a previous post in their own blog. How is that done? We read Bloggers "help" on the subject, which was of course, no help at all! We know how to do it on our postings, but not how to do it on comments.
my Momma wants to make a blog for our dumbdog Gloria, cause Gloria is reely dumb, and duz stuffs that always gets her in trubble. We dont know how to start tho. Momma has lotsa pichurs of Gloria Dumbdog doin bad stuff, it will be funny too see her intruble ALL OVER THE WURLD!!! muahaahah

Mu Shue - I'm werking on a post that ansers yer qweschun!
Ok, here's one. How can we put a pictor at the top of our blog instead of the boring tidal box? Fanks!
I've had this question for a time and had trouble finding the answer. It didn't get easier with the new blogger either. If there is more than one contributor to a blog, is there a way to have both pictures along with profiles show up in the profile box? Or do we just need to add our own pictures, text, and link to the profile? We appreciate any help! I'm going to make my blog a joint blog with Harlie. Thanks! And way to go Skeezix and all the other catblog helpers! This is a great tool!!
In reference to removing the blogger bar at the top, what xactly is the "style sheet"? Skeezis, we and the Mom that Lives here Looked but didn't figure it out. Is it the template? Can you clarify??
Thanx Skeezix, we luvs this cat help blog!
OK, I think I'm up to date ansering all the qweschus. If yoo've asked a qweschun, use the Topics list on yer rite to navigate to the anser.
VT - Still werking on adding old Blogger instruckshuns to yer qweshun.
Hey dude this is such a kewl idea! A huge undertaking but wow you are very intelligent and you gots other catters to help you out.
Dear Skeezix,
We have had a real problem for several days, and mama can't figure it out. First, we are on old Blogger. Now the problem: the posts have eatten space on our blog, and the sidebar has fallen way below, so you have to scroll way down to see anything on the side bar (including your CatBlog HelpCenter). We want them side by side!
Please remember, mama isn't all that computer smart with codes and stuff.
Help!! Thanks!

You are correct, Blogger has a very bad bug. I got the badge up, thank you so very much skeezix.
Mr. Skeezix, we're not sure if you know about this or not, but how does a kitty get involved with secret paws.
-Eliot
Regarding "Secret Paws" ... You can visit the blog at Secret Paws or check with the organizers of the whole thing Diva Kitty and the Fluffies to find out more about the activity. As far as I know (the Feline Americans and I did this for the first time at Christmas), it occurs three times per year. Sign ups for April happen in March, sign ups for August happen in July, and sign ups for Chrismas happen in November. You sign up at the Secret Paws site where the info is ... I'll do a posting on the main CatHelp page.

Is Blogger still sick? I can add badges now, can't add pictures, and can't move things around. What is up wif Blogger?
Munchkin, Missy and Monte -- Blogger seems to be reely slow tonite. Probly a momentery slowdown.

Skeezix, our Mom is so upset right now that she's almost ready to make us stop blogging--and we're on the cusp of our 100th post! We were switched to new blogger over the weekend. We don't know if this is related or not, but something is preventing her from being able to post photos--and it's not like Jeter's problem. It's probably an internal computer problem (um, Dad messed around with Mom's computer a day before we were moved to new blogger and he did stuff like remove cookies). When she clicks on the photo icon while making a blog post, NOTHING happens! It used to open directly into "my photos" and everything was simple. Do you have any idea what the problem could be?
Help - or we may never blog again! So much for Man Cat Monday for Jake!
~J&B
J&B --- I think I have yer anser - skrole down to reed it... and lemme know if that duzn't werk.
Skeezix, I'm not sure if this is something on the human male's computer or all IE7 browsers. I have my new wordpress template set up. On the mac, in firefox, safari and netscape (even the last IE for Mac) the background shows up as tiny little blue stripes.
On the Male's computer, he only has IE installed with Vista. The background doesn't show up (but everything else does). I'm wondering if there is something up with Vista or if it doesn't show up on any PC platform?
I remember there was a site once to view my site in other browsers but I've been looking since we moved the blog and can't find it.
Dear Skeez - We was wondering how you set up a site for yer kontests. Do you have to create a new email and stuff everytime you have a new kontest? We wants to do a full-blown kontest, but we don't wants efurryone to have our regular bloggie passwords, etc. What's yer advice?

How do we get a box for beans (like our granma) to get an email when we blog?

Hi Skeezix We haf a kweschun, and we know we should be aybull to do it by now, but we can't, so can yoo help us pleez. We want to put links on owr posts to older posts or uvver cats blogs. We tried to link to Grr, Midnight and Cocoa's post about the video wiv the string (20th. March)and we thought we had done what yoo said to some cat else. We wanted the werd video highlighted, but we got all the html code come up as well. What are we doing wrong?(Blogger wouldn't accept our comment wiv the html code,it said Tag is broken, so we can send what we put in an email if yoo like.
THIS IS A TEST COMMENT:

To all of you kitties at the Catblog Help center. Thanks for this CatBogging for Dummies.
Our mom is Xtra-Dummy so she has to read the instructions a bazzillion times but ...
Just thanks loads from all of us :-)

How did you post so far in the future?
Okay. Cat Blog help is needed.
We got our new blog up and we have two questions... we read that bloggrolling thing a zabillion times and STILL cannot figure out where to put that "snippet"
and another question... *sigh* is there any way we can get our cool bloggs off of moms blog and put them in ours or is that impossible... remember please... mom is extra dummy. She can figure skate but she is not so brilliant in the blogger thing.
Thanks in advance
Caesar & Prinnie -- I'll have answers for yoo this weekend -- chek bak in a day or two.
Caesar & Prinnie -- We looked at yer blog, and it looks like yoo have evrything figyered owt and werking --- or do yoo still have qwechuns?
Dear Skeezix,
Do you know why blogrolling isn't working? none of the blogs say which blogs are updated. It's making it hard for me to catch up on my friends. I just wondered if anyone else noticed it. I went to blogrolling website and everything was just normal there.
Phoebe, I've noticed the same thing. Maybe the purrson that runs it is on vacation. I hope Skeezix can help us get it back!
Blogrolling qweschun was anserd yesterday. See beelow.
Thank you Skeezix. You're a doll!
Nice job.
my question:What is the best alternative to blogrolling.com
tankz!
Skeezix,
How does one put a link to a picture in the sidebar in blogger? I see where you can add a picture and then add a link but not link a picture.
Thanks,

Suz -- I got an emale frum them this week abowt a merjer with one of thare other sites. It wuzn't supost to affekt the top100 sites, but sumthing's broken.... I don't know any more than that! (Maybe all thoze Main Coon cats hoo bother Jeter did sumthing bad to it!)
Dear Skeezix,
I read the post about opening a new window from a link. I was wondering if there is an easier way to make all of the links from your blog open to a new window. I thought I saw that before on the blogger settings page, but i couldn't find it today. Do I have to do it separately on each link?
Thank you for your help.
Hi Skeezix, can yoo give us enny sujjeschuns furr our problem. We haf been told by 3 or 4 uvver kitties that a bajj is covering our comments box, then Daisy sent us a screen shot, and our Catster bajj wuz causing the trubble. The writing part wuz ok but the photos wuz going on our post. It's ok on IE but not on Firefox.We took our Catster photo bajj off and put a tiny Catster bajj on instead. Now she sez all our links haf dropped right down the bottom of the page unner our oldest post.We went to Settings-Formatting and changed "Enable float alignment" to No, but it hasn't made enny diffrunce. The trubble is we don't know if ennyfing is wrong unless sumcat tells us cuz it looks ok on our screen. It just seems to happen on Firefox.
I think you cats need to learn some proper english.
P.S. Dogs are cool too.
If you cat's learn to respect us we will respect you.
Que buen blog! estamos muycontentos de haber llegado hasta aquÃ!
Ya los hemos linkeado.
Saludos felinos.
two things:
1. with the new blogger feature of auto draft save, sometimes the ability to leave a comment is disabled (not the mama wrote about this on his own blog--not the kitty blog). he says that you have to be sure that you indicate that you want commented activated.
2. the dog that posted needs to learn proper grammar. he's used a singular possessive of cat when he meant a simple plural of cats.

Is there really an advantage to having word verification on your comments section of the blog? I don't have it on my blog, but I notice some kitties do. I don't get spam or anything else without it, and sometimes Mommy has a hard time commenting on kitties blogs for me that do have it 'cause v's and u's look a lot alike and slow her time she has to help me comment. Your wise opinions would be appreciated.
Parker, skrole down for yer anser.
Dear Skeez - we was wonderin' how to do "strike throughs" on our text. Da only options we sees available are: bold, italix, color, size.
Kimo/Sabi - skrole down for yer anser!
This is not actually a blog question, but it is a computer question, so maybe somecat knows the answer.
Our Daddy installed RealPlayer and it put all kinds of pop-ups on his computer. He un-installed RealPlayer and now the sound doesn't work. It acts like the other sound programs are no longer there even though they are. No sound comes out of the speakers or headphones. Does anycat know what to do?
Skeezix! We hope you can help us.
We of course have your site in our favorites menu. For some reason now it takes us to the comments page (right now, it's from last friday when your innernets was broken). Before, it was a differnt post it was opening. Our mom has delted the old link and resaved it but still the same issue.
Any idea? Does anyone else have this issue??? (And it's just your page for some reason,no other kitty)
Thanks !

hi Skeezix, Back on May 2nd we asked a kweschun but no-one got back to us. Parker told us our sidebar wuz covering some of our post. We did a cupple of fings and no-one else said there wuz a problem. Well now Tyler has said eggsackly the same fing. We upgraded our template so we could put badges in the sidebar and we hope that mite solve the problem about the layout to. Only trubble is we can't see how to git our links on the new template.Do we haf to do them all indervijully? Also when we put Marmi, our virchull squillion on there, he turned out shorter and fatter. We haf gone back to our old template till we can git this sortid out. Can yoo help us pleez?
Eric and Flynn -- I didn't anser back in May cuz win I looked at yer blog in Firefox I thot it had bin fixed cuz I didn't see any problim.
Heer's ware we talk abowt the sidebar-shifting-down problim:
http://tinyurl.com/386xsp. Yoo'll need to make shur the grafiks in the sidebar arn't wider than the sidebar. Just change the size in width="x" with x being the width dimenshun.
To add a list of links in yer new templit, yoo do have to add them one at a time. So win yer on yer template page, click on "Choose a New Page Element" and then selekt "Link List". It will prompt yoo to add eech link yoo wunt.
Fanks Skeezix,we'll use the upgraded template and put all our links on as we get time. Hopefully efurryfing will look ok then.
Another blogger wrote today and asked how did I fix my comments so that my email would show in her comment section??!!
I didn't know it did.
Please tell me how to make my email not show in my comments to other bloggers.
If it were just cat bloggers it wouldn't matter, but I got two weird emails today and don't want them!
Thank you!
Skeezix, I may have figured it out!
My email was on my profile. I took it out.
If that worked, I should have done more research before asking.
Thanks for being here for us!
~ Napoleon .. and everyfur here appreciates this blog!
Two things we are tryin to figure owt right now...
1. LC got a award and customized it to include her name, so we are tryin to figure out how to add a local hard drive gif to the sidebar. We know how to upload it to a website in order to reference it (if we havta) but we cant figure out what to do with it then.
2. When we create a new post, we get wierd-looking characters in the title bar. Everything is fine in the body of the post. And if we type the title in the body and then copy it to the title bar, effrything is OK then. We aren't tryin to use any weird fonts and we cant find any strange settings weve done. It is the same using Netscape, IE, or Mozilla.
We can read an even change the bloggie template (carefully an wif lots of saves), an we have even figured out a few things ourselfs. But we are baffled by these 2 things.
Can you help us Skeezix?

Hello Efurrybody!
Something changed on Friday afternoon so that all of our comments that are sent to our email come in as Plain Text now. We verified in Microsoft Outlook that "Read all standard mail in plain text" was not checked. We haven't changed anything in blogger, but something happened! Do you have any idea what might be changed?
Thanks!

Hi Skeezix,
Can one gmail account have 2 blogs?
When I set up Buddy's blog (Nezbine.blogspot.com), I used my gmail account & used her name for the blogger part. Now I want to make my own blog, and I did create a test one, but I can only post to it as Buddy (nezbine). Is there a way I can create my own blogger account without deleting hers or messing it up? If I modify it so it's me instead of her, then her blog will have my picture & stuff from the profile page, instead of her info. That would bother me.
Thanks for your kind visits while she was sick.

Hey Skeezix - We really want to got our blogroll set up so we can see where the new posts is. But we are really havin problims gettin signed up fer a RSS

Hey, Skeezix! How do I add a PayPal "Buy Now" button to a blog post on Blogger? I know how to create buttons on PayPal, but every time I add it to the post, when I try to publish the post I get an error message from Blogger.
And guess what! When I paste the error message in this comment so you can see it, Blogger won't even accept my comment!! Stoooopid Blogger! Anyway, leaving out some of the html, the error message seems to say "Tags cannot enclose tags from target PayPal action" Does this mean I can't put a PayPal button on a Blogger blog?
We're donating 10% of all our sales to the Cat Blogosphere, and I thought having PayPal buttons would make it easier for people to pay, therefore making it easier to raise money.
Thanks for your help, Skeez!

Wow, there are 116 comments here! Crazy. My sweet lady cat Brandi emailed me that she is having blogger problems. She sayz "Oh, my dear, I can't get old blogger to let me post OR leave messages." Does that mean she needs to update to new blogger? She has slow dial up so will that be a problem?? You can post on my bloggy (Im not sure how this works) since she is having problems. I miss my sweet lady cat's updates!!

Skeezix,
We were wondering how we can put up a link with our e-mail address so people can e-mail us. We looked but didn't see it in the topics covered.

Dear Skeezix
How can we back a Blogger blog up?
We are thinking that it would be absolutely heartbreaking if anything happened to Storm's blog...and we wanna make a copy of it, just in case...
Love

dear skeezix,
my mama wants to move stuff around and is afraid to. She wants to have a sidebar on the left and the right side to make our stuff look better. Do we have to do a brand new template or can you help? Remember, mama is not that teknical.
Thanks, brandi
p.s. we have blogger template "minima" and other sites don't seem to address that template. Waiting patiently...
hugs, brandi
and her mama, Carol
Brandi, I will help yoo as soon as I can. The FL is owt of town at a funeral, and I need her to help me reeserch how to anser yer qweschun.
Yer frend,
Skeezix the Cat
thanks Skeezix. We will be patient. Hugs for your FL.
We have a similar question once your beans are able to help. We would also like to have a second sidebar, on the left, and if that isn't easy or possible, we would be fine with just making the right sidebar a little wider. Can you help? Fanks!
how do we get our blog to pop up on a search or google search. for instance, i typed my blog name into search and the results showed nothing pertaining to my blog. if there some way to be able to just type in my blog name into search and pull it up? i see ALOT of blogs listed within individual searches- i know one feature on sitemeter is to show how people are being referred toyour blog, but mine doesnt do this. any suggestions?
Us again. This is where we sit when we follow your guidelines for the 3 column minima blog" When we get to the part that says now would be a good time to save your template we get this:
We were unable to save your template. Please correct the error below, and submit your template again.
Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: The element type "b:section" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".
Where? Huh? first it said end-tag '>', then "". when we tried to edit it. Which? Where? It's not in the directions at all.
Oh,can you help us my dear computer guru???
And we are posting as I am a mystery, not brandi. two problems. help??
brandi with the split identity
when i leave comments on some other blogs, the authors sometimes send me a response to my personal email account. how can i do this?
Hi Help Gang! I have a question. How to I create a post that stays at the top all the time? I tried moving the date, but don't think I did it right.
Hi Skeezy, I was trying to leave you a comment on your blog, but it wouldn't let me! Here it is!
ha ha ha ha that is fantastic. i think your beans have a weak constitution to "eeew" over something so silly.
Thank you so much for the card. We love it! You look fabulous.
The cat (Felis catus), also known as the domestic cat or house cat to distinguish it from other felines, is a small predatory carnivorous species of crepuscular mammal that is valued by humans for its companionship and its ability to hunt vermin, snakes and scorpions. It has been associated with humans for at least 9,500 years.
A skilled predator, the cat is known to hunt over 1,000 species for food. It can be trained to obey simple commands. Individual cats have also been known to learn on their own to manipulate simple mechanisms, such as doorknobs. Cats use a variety of vocalizations and types of body language for communication, including meowing, purring, hissing, growling, squeaking, chirping, clicking, and grunting.Cats may be the most popular pet in the world, with over 600 million in homes all over the world.They are also bred and shown as registered pedigree pets. This hobby is known as the "cat fancy".

Skeezix,
Your amazing ability to blend into the human populace with your 'disguises,' intrigues me. I wish you to join my elite squad of people impersonators, of which you will be the first and only. This is a new squad, as I never thought of the use of it, until I saw you. Congratulations, man...I mean, cat. Whew, this could get confusing.
Carry on,
Jerusalem Jones, B.A.D.
We're back. Still havent found the 3 column template workable. But mama has a nother question: Know how to change the width of our blog posts and comments and sidebar wider, and make it stop double spacing after a paragraph?
All we have been able to do is make the whole blog wider. Thanks, Skeezix
Does it hurt if I change my template to layout? What happens? I think this may solve some of my problems. Thanks
Brandi, the short anser to yer qweschun is that in the Layout > Edit Template view, yoo need to change the width of not only #outer-wrapper, but also the #main-wrapper and the #sidebar-wrapper. So if yoo wunt yer blog to be 950px wide, yoo mite set the main-wrapper to 600 px and the sidebar-wrapper to 300px (most templates have padding between the columns, so the total width of the main-wrapper and sidebar-wrapper will be less than the total width of the outer-wrapper.
I will do sum skreenshots, but that will take a wile cuz the Food Lady is bizzy trying to find a job.
Whoo Hoo! We will be patient. Mama remembers jobbie hunting takes a lot out of a bean! But the suggestions you gave did help. Mama started moving things around. There are still things to do, but at least mama has a start. Thank you, Thank you! We'll be patient!
Hi all! I am trying to update my blog list with blogger. Blogrolling.com is still down so I can't use them.
BUT the problem with blogger.com
is that some websites like SKEEZIX's and Beau's give me the following error message:
"Could not detect a feed for this URL. Blog Posts and update time will not be shown"
Help! I need me Skeezy fix!

How do I make a scrolling banner with images at the top (under logo) of my blog? I don't want the images to be big - just little thumbnails, like the pictures beside comments.
Thanks,
Lily
P.S. The Feline Five say hello!
Hey, Skeezix, one more question:
This is probably something really simple and I feel really stupid asking it, but here goes...
I put a profile of D'Artagnan up on Catster. When I went to put up a picture of D'Ar, I clicked the wrong one and put up a photo of Cocoa avec une Guimauve. How do I swap the photos?
Thank you!
-L
Lily, just delete it and uplode the correkt foto.
Skeezix, that's my problem. Where? I'm new to Catster and I looked and looked but I couldn't find it.
Thanks,
Lily
As informative as your blog could be..
Reading it is like reading a 6yr olds spelling mistakes.
Yeah I get the whole 'I'm cool because I don't conform' BS.
I looked at your blog to help with an issue from mine, but, to be honest reading through all the illiterate Chav crap is a pain in the ass.
I think your loosing traffic due to that.
No one else seems to have a problem, Sarah. Perhaps you should consider not reading if all you're going to criticize because no one here really wants to hear it.
Take your elitist attitude and shove it.
-L
Sarah, this blog is ritten by cats, for cats:
* It is not ritten fur yoo.
* It is not ritten to jenerate traffik.
* It is a semi-private blog fur the Cat Blogosphere.
And geez, even I know that "loosing traffic" is spelld "losing traffic." So beefore yoo dis my spellin skills, better take a few spellin lessins yerself. I recummend my spellin coach, da grate Jeter Harris.
Hi Skeezy! My Lapdaddy told me you are being dissssst by some dumb ...well I would say bunny but that would be dissssing them so I will say some dumb Sarah person. The nerve....I shall clim fort from my sickbatcavelike sturcture and bop her on her dumb head! NOONE dis's my best kitty friend!
Love Miss Peach
Well, it is a shame Sarah doesn't know how to log on with her blog name. I think her problem is actually reading. After all, the explaination is right in the header. duh.
We all know what an amazing service you all provide us blogging kitties. Don't sweat the ignorant!
We fink Sarah is feeling a pain in her spot 13 because she's got a stick stuck there. Just sayin'.
nice.. cat ...
you have a nice blog too
Dear skeezix,
You have helped me in the past, so once again here I am. I have had a problem with my posts the last couple of days. I get underlined links in my post to weird sites. They appear in double underlined green and the only way I fix them is to link them right back to me in the compose mode. How do I get rid of this problem?
