I want to put the video across the top of this page - above the posts: http://www.internetadvertisinghouston.com/ any ideas?

Have you explored the Feature with media? Thanks, Bryan

i was wanting something across the whole top with no scrolling. Basically i need to put a video up there with an opt in box to the right of it. How do I do this?

i would really like to just get in there and code it directly with HTML

[bryan-hadaway 3]

Right, you can do that within the feature, add feature media/code and with CSS we can style it the way you need. Thanks, Bryan

ok im using the blog layout mode. How do I do this? I don't think the feature is enabled right now.

im wanting it as wide as the content area - below the top menu but above the 2 columns

I went into Feature -Add New Feature - put in a test feature and saved it to the default-features category. It doesn't show up

Hey Scott - In order to have the feature show on your blog area, you go into "Settings->Template Setup" and choose "Posts Pages" from the dropdown. Then you can drag and drop "Pagelines Features" from the right column into the left, and the feature will show on your blog page as well. There's another option as well if that one doesn't work the way you want it to. EDIT: I just took a look at your site. I'm thinking you want the feature area to show up on the home page instead, is that correct? If so, then still follow the steps above, but instead of choosing "Posts Page" from the dropdown, choose "Default Page". Let us know how it goes.

Thanks Kate. I changed it as you said for the default page, but still as you can see it is not showing up: http://www.internetadvertisinghouston.com/

I still have the default items in default-features

[clansullivan 0]

its actually showing up on every page but the main page even though i added it in default page

[clansullivan 0]

ok i did the opposite. I added the featrue to post pages and took it off the default page and now it only shows on the default page. weird anyway, how do i get it to be a plain white background and just add my HTML?? thanks

what do you want to have a plain white background?

[clansullivan 0]

the feature area - i want it to have a white background

[Andrew 207]

something like this should do the trick: ` #feature-area .fcontainer{ background: #FFF; } `

Thanks. Now how do I change the layout so that I can edit this area with HTML? Right now the text I write in the editor gets formated around my video automatically. I want to be able to format this whole section with HTML. How do I do that?
