And even if you go into the place in the layout-designer where you can re-arrange the layout by drag-and-dropping items, you cannot drag any gadgets to above the header.
How to allow changes above your blog's header
Follow these steps to make it possible for you (or any blog administrator) to add gadgets to the area about your blog's heading section:1 Edit your blog's theme in the usual way
2 Find this code in your theme:
<b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='1' showaddelement='no'>Hint: use the theme-editor search tool, to look for a key phrase like "id='Header1'
<b:widget id='Header1' locked='true' title='YOUR BLOG TITLE(Header)' type='Header'/>
4 Change it to
<b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='4' showaddelement='yes'>Notice that there are two changes made:
<b:widget id='Header1' locked='true' title='YOUR BLOG TITLE(Header)' type='Header'/>
- Setting maxwidgets to greater than 1, and
- Setting showaddelement to Yes, instead of No
Job Done: after you have successfully saved this change, then the next time you edit your blog layout (Dashboard > Layout ), then you will find that you can add or drag-and-drop up to three gadgets to the Heading section of the blog, making a total of four.
You can add even more gadgets by changing the number for maxwidgets to something else.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial. Question - It worked but I was looking to get the gadgets side by side instead of list form. Any tips on how to fix that? I was hoping to have the About Me, Search, etc. next to each other across the top of the blog. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
