Beat magazine a blog that popped onto the blogosphere sometime this weekened, seems to have stepped on the wrong toes. Beat which publishes articles that are meant to be taken lightly seems to have accused the right people of the wrong stuff.

Everyone was laughing at the totally ridiculous posts that started to get churned out by these pranksters on the weekend, even I laughed when they posted “Simonb in traditional medicine debacle” but when they accused Tyler Reed an upstanding fellow in the community of a very serious crime, he decided that enough was enough and literally gave beat a beating. Saul and Vincent of Beat apologized and the issue died a quiet death, or did it?

A few other bloggers have now jumped on the bandwagon and for good cause, Beat Magazine is hitting really low with some of their posts and sooner later someone will get hurt.

The question I know ask is “To beat or not to beat?” Let the reader decide.

Ok, ok so maybe that should have read Tyler Reed rocks!

Anyway it’s great to see how members of the local blogosphere work together for the good of the community. Since launching my private blog I have been having a code issue and as I am not the best when it comes to code, actually i am a total week ass at code. I ended up thinking it was my service provider, gave them stick and they pointed out it was a code error, apparently I had broken the code while trying to paste in the amatomu.com code or was that the digsby code? eish I dont know when it happened but it happened.

So anyway my blog had a funny code error near the top of the page and eventually it died all together. I searched and searched in vane for the error, but having like zero back end experience, I did not succeed

So finally after weeks of feeling like a total dork, I got this friendly email from Tyler Reed saying:

Hi Simon

You need to edit your theme header (wp-content/themes/kubrick

/header.php).

Look for

<style type=”text/css” media=”screen”>

#page { background: url(”http://simonb.co.za/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg”) repeat-y top; border: none; }

and add:
<style type=”text/css” media=”screen”>

#page { background: url(”http://simonb.co.za/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg”) repeat-y top; border: none; }

</style>

That should fix your blog.
Kind Regards
-Tyler

So I headed over to my blog pasted in the </style> command and everything worked again!
Now although I feel like a total retard for not picking up that small error, I am happy to say all is working again. Thanks to Tyler Reed.

Tyler you rock dude, thanks for the help! This is what makes the local SA Blogosphere such a nice place, we always looking out for each other and are willing to help out even in such trivial matters. I sure hope I can return the favour by passing on some knowledge in the fields i am good at to another blogger when the time  comes.

Tyler I owe you a beer or make that a 6pack!
