CHERUBS New CDH Awareness Blogger Template

Repost:

Like our new look? It's a look in progress but we hope to raise a lot of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness!!!

We're by no means blog template experts but we think we can help you to use this on your Blogger blog (this only works with Blogger - we're working on Wordpress templates still).

How to install this blog template:

#1. Please know that you'll lose your widgets if you install this (all the little cool squares on the side). But you can add them back after you install the template!

#2. Go to http://www.cdhsupport.org/graphics/cherubstemplate.xml and http://www.cdhsupport.org/graphics/cherubsblog.txt save these files to your hard drive. This is the coding for the template that you'll need later.

#3. Go to your Blogger account and log in. Under the Dashboard you want to click on the Layout Tab. You want to choose Edit HTML

#4. Under "Upload a template from a file on your hard drive:" you want to choose and upload the cherubstemplate.xml file you saved in step #2. It may warn you that your widgets will be deleted, save it anyway.

#5. Still under the Layout Tab, now you want to go to Page Elements. You should see an element on the right named "HTML/JavaScript". Click on Edit on that element.

#6. A new window will pop up. Leave the title blank and under Content, copy and paste all the coding from the cherubsblog.txt file you saved in step #2. Save it and the window will close.

#7. Save your template by clicking on the Orange save button.

#8. To add the CDH babies being born counter, click on the Page Element that says "Congenital Diaphragmatic He..." and download and copy and paste this coding under Content. http://www.cdhsupport.org/graphics/cdhstats.txt

#9. To join the CDH Blog Ring, you need to sign up and follow the directions found here. Paste that coding in the Element that says "CDH Blogs Ring" http://cdhsupport.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-blog-ring-for-cdh-families.html

#10. To add the Goodsearch and Goodshop for CHERUBS code, click on the Page Element that says "Goodsearch and Goodshop f..." and download and copy and paste this coding under Content. http://www.cdhsupport.org/graphics/cherubgoodsearch.txt

That's it! Sound compicated? It's really not, we just wanted to be very detailed in instructions. :)

Hopefully this new template will raise lots and lots of CDH Awareness!

CDH Bricks... Building An End To This Horrible Birth Defect Together

Dealing with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia is like nothing else on this earth. It's a horrible, horrible birth defect that steals the lives of 1000's of babies every year. But it's proving so hard to get anyone to take notice! Over a half a million babies since 2000... why isn't this on the National News every day until we find the cause??? Why isn't there more Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness that actually does something to help these children???? Families dealing with CDH not only have to deal with the horrible medical issues involved - the hospitalization, surgeries, ECMO, etc - and sometimes losing their children.... but they also have to deal with the fact that hardly anyone has ever heard of CDH. Searching for information, searching for support, searching for hope.... thank goodness there are groups who do help these families now (there were none 15 years ago and only 5 years ago there was only one - CHERUBS).

But CDH is a different journey for each of us. It takes on different paths in the same valley. We each learn different things and each become a thread in the CDH community. We are each the families who have experienced CDH and each now have a responsibility to help others who come down this path after us. We should all be working together to help each other and new families. All CDH families, all CDH groups, all CDH sites.

I compare it to CDH giving us all tools to help others... like bricks. Each experience we each have, each day with our cherubs, each complication, each procedure, each ultrasound, each piece of research we find, etc - a brick. We can all chose to take our bricks and build our own little houses or a few working together to build apartment complexes or tiny community buildings... but imagine what we could build if we all put our bricks together.... a hospital, a research center, a CDH library... finding the cause and prevention and best treatments for CDH. That's our goal at CHERUBS and ACDHO... working together for the common goal of stopping this monstrous birth defect.

I hope every CDH family and group will chose to work together.
