z-index issue when including links in blog description

[hannawallach]

Hi,

The current recommended way to include links in the blog description is to replace {{@blog.description}} with {{{@blog.description}}} in index.hbs (see here for more discussion). However, when I do this with the default Casper theme, I run into (what I think are) z-index issues. Specifically, the resultant links work fine on my computers (Linux w/ Firefox, Windows w/ IE) but they do not work at all on my cell phone (Android w/ Chrome). Since adding in any link (via an <a> tag) immediately below the HTML that includes the blog description results in the same problem, I think that this is probably a z-index issue, maybe involving the "Subscribe" link, which works just fine. (Possibly related: the bouncing arrow icon does not appear either, but maybe this is intentional for mobile display.)

I'm not a CSS expert, so I'd love some input on how best to fix this issue. More generally, this issue should probably be fixed in future versions of Casper, if replacing {{@blog.description}} with {{{@blog.description}}} in index.hbs continues to be the recommended way to include links in the blog description.

Thanks! Hanna

The new ghost navigation settings is now the best way to put links on your blog; I'm going to close this with that in mind :)
