Hi,

In style.css you will find the following styling:

.header-image a:hover img,
.header-image-alone a:hover img,
.site-thumb a:hover img {
	outline: dotted #474747 thin;
}

This styling you can delete or change to suit your requirements.

On line 26 in the file header.php add class="screen-reader-text" to the link that adds the skip link.

When you are done the line should read:

<p><a class="screen-reader-text" href="#content" title=""><?php _e( 'Skip to Content', 'neighborly' ); ?></a></p>

Doing things this way will keep the skip link there but it will only be visible when it receives focus.

Your Facebook, Twitter and RSS buttons are all part of your header graphic. They have to be removed from here and used as separate individual graphics.

Your HTML should open the division header (this you have done), the CSS then adds the header graphic as a background to the division. You now need to add your icon graphics (via HTML over the background image). In the HTML you now add your links to the icon graphics.

Personally I would use three divisions in my CSS to do what you want to do. A header-background division with its width set to the width of your site. This division would hold the header image as a background.

A header-left division which would be half the width of the header and floated to the left over the header-background division. This division would show the blog name as well as the description.

A header right division which would be half the width of the header and floated to the right over the header-background division. This division would show the social icons along with their relevant links.

Gary, wow you have embarked on a massive task here. Your site very clearly displays the versatility of WordPress. Well done.

I know that there are a lot of people who are interested in genealogy. Maybe one day you will be prepared to release a WordPress theme to assist all these folks (hint, hint).

I have got mixed feelings over your site. It is good looking and more importantly it loads pretty fast. This is very important when it comes to a photo site. The thing that worries me is the fact that the theme uses frames, I am not sure if that old technology is the way to go.

I am not big into ‘magazine’ type themes but it does work well on your site. I love the color scheme you have used, the load times of the pages are also impressive.

I would however suggest that you have a look at the HTML validation on the site, there are quite a few errors. Fixing these errors could lead to even better performance.

I like it but then again, I have always enjoyed sites that make use of the latest technologies. The CSS3 bits will not validate as yet but hopefully this will change soon. The site loads pretty quickly, well done.

Eternalism, I would have a look at the line-spacing used on your site. If you make this slightly bigger the readability of your site will improve. I would also concentrate on getting the code on the site to validate, both the HTML and CSS show numerous errors.

The site is very nice and it is definitely worthwhile the bit of effort it will take to make it even better.

The code for the filter did not come out correctly here. The code I used is exactly the same as that provided by Justin Tadlock. Thanks.

With this function you can exclude certain pages should you want to. The order of the pages as they appear on the list can be set by the order number you add when you create the page.

I found my answer here thanks.

Your site is clean, neat and it loads quickly. The entire site looks very professional. Very nice theme.

You do however have a few HTML and CSS validation problems. There are not many of these and getting them fixed should be an easy task.

This should get you going in the right direction – https://codex.www.ads-software.com/User:JamesVL/query_posts

This happened because it was the default theme. This theme gets overwritten with each WordPress update.

On the single pages, the archive and category pages you are making the call for these pages from a different sub directory than what it is on the main blog page. The answer would be to hard code the entire link to these pages. On the photography link you have coded:

david_emery_bear_graphics_photography.html

Replace this with:

https://www.david-emery.co.uk/david_emery_bear_graphics_photography.html

You will have to do the same for the other link. These links will work from all pages after this change.
