Adjust column width with Hubspot

Quick tip for designers:

Adjusting Hubspot Template Columns

Let's say I wanted adjust the width of the sidebar in the 3 column layout like the example below.

3 column layout for marketing CMS Hubspot


 If you open the page in the "quick preview" mode, you'll be able to see it rendered without the module code. Hubspot renders the columns with the prefix naming convention of "foxboro_". Right click the quick preview window and inspect element. The green code is code that hubspot generates for you.
If you want to target the side bar, that would be the first column. Hubspot gives it an ID of "foxboro_col1".

Inspect element on one column reveals Hubspot generates code for columns with the prefix "Foxboro_"



Using the inspector, adjust the width up or down in the CSS rules window until you reach the desired width. Here I've changed it to "18.9%" Copy and paste the whole css rule. For this example that would be: #foxboro_three-column #foxboro_col1 { width: 18.9%; }

Adjusting the column width with inspector. (method can be used for adjusting height as well)
















If you want the new sidebar width to be a global change, you'll have to paste it in your custom.css file which can be found and edited using the file manager.

For just this page:  click page properties> advanced options> HTML Head Tag Text 

Create a <style> tag and paste your code within it.

Pasting code into Hubspot's page HTML Head Tag section












Click Save and you should see your change reflected on the page now.

All done!

LG's 8-bit Birthday Present

Finally took nicer photos of LG's birthday present.





Details:
-8-bit hair clip: [click here to observe it in action]
-8-bit grey wristwatch
-Mario Fireflower crafted from Fuse beads.
-A birthday music card that plays the FFVII victory song.
I was insanely impressed by this. She recorded the song herself and put the card together.
Below are the innards of the beast and a 19 second video.

-A modified casette with a retractable USB drive storing a chiptunes playlist with this graphic:


By far, the best birthday present I've ever received.

Karina: Unsexy Shorts




































I found these super unsexy pair of pink vintage shorts at Clothes Contact. I adore them. Keeping the commentary short for this post. Happy Wednesday!

WV: Resuming with résumés.



This week has been very job-oriented. I restyled my résumé to match my business cards so I 'd be somewhat presentable at my school's job fair. My résumé received pretty enthusiastic feedback. I got three responses back for the five résumés I gave out, way nicer results than craigslist. I decided I'd take pictures for my blog of my branding packet, you know, to torment myself. Naturally, the photos came out pretty unsightly. I'll retake photos for my actual portfolio in the near future.

{Here} are the layouts for the cover letter and résumé when I was trying for a different color palette.
{Here} is a closeup picture of my business card. (old, taken with my phone)

I've had one job interview so far, which was a lot of fun. There were two interviewers, one of which I found was the same myers-briggs personality type as me (ENTJ) and also enjoys the IT Crowd. The other interviewer offered me a ride back to the BART station, during which we geeked out about Akira , Ranma 1/2, and Ip Man. However, with my school schedule I'd have to find a job that allows me to work remotely, as most days are 13:00-17:00 classes.



In other news, the RPG sessions for Deadlands are going well. Peter, the cook of the group, brought home-made enchiladas to the last game. I sketched my in-game dog companion Tails.
It's hard to want to do stuff since Mad Men and Samurai Champloo are new to instant watch this week. Must not go into hermit mode. Why Netflix, why? Also, I've been listening to Henry Homesweet's chiptunes all week. Pocket Monster is a fun album but this is favorite:

WV: Deadlands d8


Finally, finally, ...FINALLY! I started playing an RPG, after what feels like an eternity of nipping my friends' ankles to herd them together. Off the bat,  one of the players went out of town so the second session was postponed. I've been sitting on my hands awaiting anxiously to play again. We're trudging in the heat, clustered destruction, and disease of the post-apocalyptic world: Deadlands.

Hark! An obstacle ahead! I sense flaking on the horizon! 

Question: How do other gamers' groups meet every week consistently?

Meeting week after week can really grow tedious if you're not entirely invested in your character, the DM, or the world. Personally, I'd flip a table guerilla-style if my character died.  I feel invested. I even bought pretty sparkly dice, damnit! In my favorite color... with a matching dice bag. I'm in this for the long run.

I dabbled with the idea of starting a club at my school for RPG tabletop gaming. I asked for an application and it turns out you need three or five other responsible members to be officers before submitting the application. It's a meta problem. Lady, I am making this group to find students at this school with this common interest. If I already knew them, why would I be making this club?

Somehow I stumbled upon a game master in my video production class but to my chagrin, he'd been burned out on GMing far before I met him. According to him, he'd been the lone GM in his entire town growing up. But! He did say he would be an officer, so I'd only need like five other people. Hell yea!

Karina: Weekend Fun

Time for a more wordy post. Thursday, I went to the Pulsewave show at the DNA lounge. Jhonen Vasquez happened to be lurking. I got extremely giddy. I can't meet famous people, I just can't. Though it was nice to have real-time commentary by Jhonen Vasquez on his Twitter.

I found a few pictures of LG and I at the show but this was the only closeup. 


























As for the weekend, I haven't really had a moment to rest. The back of my heels are raw from the amount of walking I've done in my fashionably impractical shoes. Friday, my friend celebrated his birthday with butchering Elvis in a Mexican karaoke bar & grill. Saturday, I simultaneously met all of my friends' dogs at Le Marcel, a bakery specializing in dog treats. Again, that is a legitimate bakery that only sells dog biscuits. Only in the Marina, man. The Renegade Fair at Fort Mason filled up the remainder of the afternoon. We snagged a Dr Who print for a friend's birthday present but Dana was the only girl to purchase anything over $10. Her new suitcase is insanely cute though.



School is starting back up tomorrow, so I should be back in the groove of taking photos of full outfits. My perpetual tardiness is really a hindrance for photoblogging outfits. I'll try to recreate looks I've neglected to document. However, this half-body picture will have to do for now. (I now have bangs!)
