atahualpa header area css issues

  • I’m hoping somebody familiar with atahualpa can help me with a couple of css issues in the header area. First, I am trying to have the title display in comic sans font. This is what is currently indicated in the css for the “Blog Title”, but it is not the font that is actually appearing on the page. In fact, it is the exact same default font showing regardless of what I tell it.

    Second, the page menu is currently set to show as the default left-alignment. The background color for these is set to red, and in its current state, the entire row remains in that color. But I thought it would look better if the links were centered, so I changed it to have a centered alignment, and suddenly the red was gone except for the immediate area containing the links. The spaces to the right and left of them had gone back to white again. Red is still set as the background color. Any suggestions?

    “Heartland Handpiece Express” in the red title panel is where I am trying to change the font.

    Don’t do that. It’s not a platform-independent font.

    That makes sense. But is there a similar equivalent that would work? Also, any suggestions on the second issue?

    Could you post the code ?

    Not sure about the second one. The setting says “Background color for menu items in their default state and the menu bar itself.” So, if it’s not doing that you may want to ask on the Atahualpa forum as the people there have specific knowledge of this theme.

    Also, you may want to add a paragraph or photo to the top of your home page that explains what you are selling. I looked over the page and thought “Great, what is it?” I think you will draw more people in if you make it clear right away what you are selling. Things like what area you serve and that it’s a family owned business don’t mean much to someone who has no idea what the product or service is. It took me a while to notice the words “dental handpiece repair” in the tag line and I didn’t realize what that was in your logo (although I guess a dentist would). Even just a picture of some of the handpieces would make it more clear. JMO.

    Snazburger, here’s the code:

    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    letter-spacing: -1px;
    line-height: 1.0em;
    font: “comic sans ms”, “courier new”, arial, sans-serif
    font-size: 240%;

    If it doesn’t recognize comic sans, then I guess it’s going down the line to arial. I’m wondering if there is a font similar to the comic sans (which appears in the logo) that would work instead. Or, if you know of any other work-around. Oddly enough, I once tried changing the page links to comic sans, and it worked perfectly. But in the heading, it does not.

    SS_Minnow–I’m not actually doing the selling. I’m just the webmaster. But I will pass along your suggestions for consideration. Maybe some adjustments can be made to the site.
