One last bump. I could really use some help on this.

Thanks…

Sorry for the bump, but it’s been 24 hours, and I haven’t heard anything.

Anyone have any ideas?

Haven’t heard anything a week after having posted this. Any ideas out there?

Here is the site: https://www.collegiateacademy.com

Many thanks.

Find this in your CSS file (style.css):

.post {
stuff
stuff
}

Add to the stuff this line:

background:url(your-background-image.png) repeat-x

That should do it. You might have to do some experimenting with margins and padding to get your text to look just right in front of the background.

Find the lines below in the file called style.css. Any time you see an “a”, that’s dictating what a link should look like.

Changing the color on one of those to your #006600 should do the trick.

h1, h1 a, h1 a:hover, h1 a:visited, #headerimg .description {
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
}

a, h2 a:hover, h3 a:hover {
color: #06c;
text-decoration: none;
}

Change this line in the header:

#header { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickheader.jpg”) no-repeat bottom center; }

Change “kubrickheader.jpg” to the name of your new file. Should do it.

Only pages. I click “Publish” and it crashes.

Any ideas? Should I post this as new thread to see what others are thinking?

Thanks, moshu.

I guess I feel I have more flexibility if I can just build from scratch, but I would be happy to be proved wrong.

Also, in a separate problem, right now, whenever I try to post a new page (I’m just running WordPress locally right now), Apache crashes. Any ideas?

Go to this portion of your CSS:

/* Begin Headers */
h1 {
padding-top: 40px;
margin: 0;
}

For some reason, you have the image in your header wrapped in h1 tags, so the above padding is being applied to it.

One way to fix the problem:

1. In your HTML file, take the image out of those h1 tags.
2. In your CSS file, ditch the h1 stuff.
3. Add to your CSS:

#header img {
padding-top:5px
}

There are, of course, other ways to do it, but this is a quick fix. Your best option, in the interest of keeping structure separated from content, is to put the header’s background image in your css file and get it out of your HTML completely. Something like:

#header {
background:url(header.jpg) no-repeat
}

Hope this helps.

Never mind — figured it out. Used WordPad instead of NotePad to write announce.php; was bringing back a bunch of formatting crap from WordPad.

But thanks anyway for taking the time to read.
