Show Pages On Posts In Contempo...

The Contempo template comes with a variety of nice features out of the box and has been fairly good to me in the time that I have been using the template, but, there have been some slight annoyances with the template. One of the notable annoyances I've uncovered is that the pages gadget appears on the main page, but, not on posts. Recently a visitor noticed that I had overcome this issue and wanted some insight on how I'd managed to do this, so, I thought it would be appropriate to share.Basically, I use two pages gadgets -- the first has the Show Pages box unchecked and the second has the Show Pages box checked. To add a Pages gadget, from the Layout menu, select Add A Gadget > Pages. You'll need to manually drag and drop the second pages gadget to a position after the first pages gadget. Before leaving the Layout menu, be sure to select the Save Arrangement button in the upper right corner of the Layout menu. I filled in the optional title fields, but, if you prefer, you can leave the title fields blank.
Should you decide to fill in the title fields in the pages gadgets, there is an extra step involved to hide the title fields by adding a bit of CSS to the advanced section of the Theme menu using: Theme > Customize > Advanced > Add CSS. When adding custom CSS, be sure to select Apply to Blog:
.blog-name .PageList {
margin-top: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
}
.PageList h3 {
display:none;
}
The custom CSS above removes the spacing above the pages menu and hides the title fields. I briefly mentioned this in some previous posts on site revisions, but, in light of the recent visitor's comment, I felt a more thorough explanation was in order. Enjoy.
