Subject: New feature suggestion: New Blogger Page Element: Button Gallery
I have just posted the following new feature suggestion to Blogger
Help (http://help.blogger.com/?
page=troubleshooter.cs&problem=&contact_type=wishlist&Submit=Submit)

-- clip --

New Blogger Page Element:  Button Gallery. A cross between the Link
List and the HTML/JavaScript Page Elements.  Would allow you to
display all your Links to me/I link to badges/buttons in a single
frame or element.

-- clip --

I'm suggesting that a new Blogger Page Element be introduced; the
Button Gallery.  This would be akin to a cross between the Link List
and the HTML/JavaScript Page Elements, and would allow you to display
all your Links to me/I link to badges/buttons in a single frame or
element (as per the Link List), instead of having to set up a separate
HTML/JavaScript Page Element for each button.

Introducing a new Page Element along these lines would greatly
simplify the management of these badges/buttons and the blog's layout,
and also ensure that they do not take up too much screen real estate
on blog pages.  The Button Gallery could even allow for buttons to be
displayed in a two-column format to conserve space.

Maskil,

I agree with you that the page elements provided right now need
enhancement.  But you don't have to create a new page element for each
button, you can arrange buttons side by side or in columns, quite
easily, using tables.

Blogger doesn't provide a Table Page Element that I can drop into the
Sidebar, so how would I go about this?  My knowledge of HTML is non-
existent, so I can't hand-code a table...

This is really a great idea! It would provide bloggers with an edge to
better compete in the cyberspace. Hmm, does anyone else still uses
that word, "cyberspace"?
The Granny is going to support you, Good luck!

Here's a simple table, one cell.
<table><tr><td>Whatever</td></tr></table>

Here's a nested table pair, one cell.
<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>Whatever</td></tr></table></td></tr></
table>

Here's a nested table pair, two cells.
<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>Whatever</td><td>And Whatever Else</td></
tr></table></td></tr></table>

Look at the W3Schools tutorial.
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_table.asp

Start there, then revisit my tutorial.

Tables are plain old HTML.  Once you learn the HTML bit, make an HTML
page element, and drop the HTML into there.
