Question pertaining to blogs

[champagnepapi]

Well, I just won a PC blog via the B/W review contest and noticed a few things while looking around my blog CP. It seems that I'm not able to have a custom sidebar, similar to this. I'm also not able to add background images in the "customize my blog" section of the control panel. So, are these supporter only perks, or am I just missing something?

To clarify, background images for blogs fall under the same permissions as background images for profiles. Both of which are supporter and staff exclusive. I haven't a clue why you don't have the ability to have a custom sidebar, however, so an admin will have to address that issue. I can only assume that it's likely to be a permission problem, and sidebars are indeed restricted to supporters as well.

Ah, thank you so much. Not having supporter-based aesthetics on a non-supporter's blog seemed reasonable, but I figured having a custom sidebar wasn't a huge thing, yet would be nice to have.

Not sure if this helps, but this is what I got when I clicked Ausaudriel's link.

Thanks, but it just takes me to the color customization options, and I don't see any option for customizing the sidebar.

It customizes the blog section and the sidebar as well, IIRC.

Ah well, it doesn't seem to be showing up for me.
