lost header

  • As I was redesigning my site (to get away from a frames based page and strickly to css/php) I lost my header. The site I’m working on it https://www.idowens.com/wordpress-1.0.2/index.php and the css is same directory but /wp-layout.css (all default).
    As you can see, I have NO header at the top (I’d like to be able to add my own 800width image (jpg). Also, I’m still learning css and I’ve edited some of the colors and rearranged some of the <?php tags to pull things to different areas within the post. I’m not sure how to edit the SIDEBAR though. In other words, I don’t know the heading titles in my .css to edit the items in my sidebar. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
    -ciao!

  • As I can see there is no “header” div in your template — maybe you deleted it by accident ??

    well first off in your CSS, the #content has “html>” in front of it so that’s gonna mess stuff up, make sure you get rid of that. Then make any changes you want in your #header right below.
    Ok. now in your page add <div id=”header”> </div> where you want your header.
    should do it.

    Look in your index file and everything contained within the <div id=”menu”> will be your sidebar. Some of the tags you can edit in your CSS are:
    #links, #categories, #search, #archives, #calendar, #wp-calendar, etc.

    @joey “html>content” in itself doesn’t mean a mess… it’s a trick used by many CSS developers to make things work in IE. For example: https://www.alistapart.com/articles/sizematters/

    ah! i think you are right. my eyes just saw it as an error. good call. But I do think the rest of my suggestion should be ok. Although, I did just get another cup of coffee. ??

    hey, joey, I didn’t argue with the rest of your suggestions at all ??
    BTW, here is the “father” of the > thing https://www.tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html
    (you have to look at it in a browser like IE, heheh)
