All your links or just the ones in the sidebar?

If you just want to change the ones in the sidebar you just need to go back to the “#sidebar ul li a” section and add “font-weight:bold;”

That little star is made up of 2 graphics in your template’s style.css: sidelink.gif and sidelinkhov.gif

#sidebar ul li a has a background image of sidelink.gif
and
#sidebar ul li a:hover has a background of sidelinkhov.gif

plus each has some margins that allow room for the star.

In this case it looks like you are pulling the calendar styling from https://www.benjacobsen.com/wp-content/plugins/ajax-calendar2/calendar.css.

Now if you use this stylesheet in other themes as well and the calendar looks different, it’s likely that your calendar styles are inheriting certain attributes from parent styles.

For instance if in each template the font is different, the calendar is probably getting it’s base font from the sidebar or body font of the overall theme.

You could do this using the is_single conditional tag then nest an if_category within that (assuming that each author is using their own category)

How about a link?

Generally the calendar styling is in the style.css file, but a link to the blog would help verify that in your particular case.

Well, I did several searches, but obviously missed the right one…

Thank you, very much, for your help.

Sorry…

I put the code into the index.php file.

Using the code I get “Home” on the front page of the blog, but then when I click on “previous posts” it still shows up. So obviously is_home looks at all paginations of the main posts as Home.

But how can I make it show up only the absolute root of the blog posts?

moshu,

Thanks for the fix. It worked beautifully, and now each of my pages validates.

Also…thanks for the tip on the double spaces. I don’t know how easy that will be to stop as it’s totally unconscious, but I’ll keep it in mind.

Never mind. It must have been server lag or something similar because now, with no changes, it’s working fine.

vkaryl,

Thanks, that helped. My host swears they didn’t do anything, but after they looked at it, the shorter link worked.

Lorelle,

You didn’t answer exactly what I needed, but that was my fault (bad phrasing), not yours. However, thank you for your reply, and for the links, which will now answer my next barrage of questions and prevent me from having to bother you all again (at least not as much).

Thank you both,

Dale

I guess I’ll contact my host then, because

https://www.dcroe.com/blog/index.php

works, but

https://www.dcroe.com/blog/

doesn’t

But if I do that I get a tree of the files of that directory

BTW,

Forgot to say thanks to you guys, podz and jdingman

Yes, I do have mySQL databases with my package. My webhost offers a one click installation of Geeklog, but once I get that installed I can’t figure out how to get a webpage to display it.

So now I’m trying WordPress, which seems like it will fit my needs better in the long run.
