Salon Blogs Logo (Unofficial)

Christian Crumlish

Playing around with my site design today, I modified the Salon logo from the default Salon Blogs banner so that it looks like this:

Salon Blogs

If you feel like using it, drag this graphic into your www/images/ folder (or right-click on it—click and hold with a Mac—and save it to that folder). You'll then need to replace any references in your Home (and possibly Main) template to "salonlogo.gif" with "salonblogo.gif".

I've got it set up as an image map so that if you click on the "S" you go to the Salon homepage and if you click on the SalonBlogs part you go to the Rankings page for Salon Blogs. To do so, I'm using this code:

<img src="blog_root_url/images/salonblogo.gif"

width="184" height="48 border="1"
usemap="#Map">

<map name="Map">

<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,49,48"

href="http://salon.com/" alt="go to salon">

<area shape="rect" coords="50,0,184,48"
href="http://blogs.salon.com/rankings.html"

alt="go to salon blogs">

</map>

Replace blog_root_url with your Salon Blog address (http://blogs.salon.com/000????/).

Erm, the code is botched. It comes out with extra semicolons at line ends, and I can't seem to turn off Radio's desire to turn anything that looks like a URL into a live link. Feel free to steal the code from the source of this page if interested....

Generation theft: J.D. Lasica posts about a conversation with BlogHer co-organizer about blog plagiarism, and cites a few examples of people plagiarizing newspaper ledes in their blog entries about BlogHer (New Media Musings: Plagiarism in the blogosphere). How lame! Also, where's the fun in that?... (Best Practices)

Blogistan Pie: OK, I'm on a roll here (I guess, in a lame sort of way). I've posted third and fourth verses for what I'm now calling Blogistan Pie since The Day the Blogging Died just really doesn't trip off the tongue. The Day the Weblogs Died may have been a better choice... (Blogosphere)
RFB obsolete: One nice thing about the LazyWeb is that if you get tired of doing something, don't worry about it. There are probably other people already out there doing it, possibly better than you were. I'm sort of in a dilemma with Radio Free Blogistan. I've put a lot of energy over... (Nanopublishing)
