Show whole blog when reading a post

    I am unsure about how to ask this, because I don’t even know if it is a problem or a feature…

    Whenever I link to a post in my blog and I open it on a browser, I only see the post, but not the whole blog (in my case, those widgets I have on a column on the right). Nothing better than an example, I guess…

    If you open this link , you will see the post and a link to the previous post. But I would like to see the post in its context, with the complete theme arount it. As if watching the blog

    See what I mean? Is it possible to link a certain post, but showing the whole blog?

  • the kubrick default theme does it that way.

    edit single.php and exchange widecolumn for narrowcolumn and put the call of the sidebar into the same position as in index.php (copy position and code from there).

    edit header.php and change the code that selects the background image for single post from this:

    <?php
// Checks to see whether it needs a sidebar or not
if ( empty($withcomments) && !is_single() ) {
?>
	#page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbg-<?php bloginfo('text_direction'); ?>.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
<?php } else { // No sidebar ?>
	#page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
<?php } ?>

    into this:
    #page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbg-<?php bloginfo('text_direction'); ?>.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
