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!

New Graphic on stopping trademarks on Awareness

Because this trademark affects more than just the CDH community - it's a precedent setting trademark that could harm all health and social issue awareness. Feel free to use this graphic any way you'd wish!

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/cdhawareness/index.html

It is now being used on Facebook's group Health and Socially Conscious People against Trademarks On Awareness:

"The United States Patent and Trademark office has passed the first trademark on awareness of a health issue with the trademark on "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness". CDH is a devastating birth defect and now the medical community and families affected by CDH are limited on using this phrase - thus hindering awareness.

This is the first and only trademark of it's kind that restricts awareness by trademarking awareness! Our tax dollars at work! This opens the door to trademarks on "Breast Cancer Awareness" and "Autism Awareness" or any of the other 1000's of health and social issues.

This group is started to raise awareness of the trademark on awareness and to take a stand against this insanity. "

Just a few of the 100's of news and blogs articles on this trademark:
