In reply to: CSS Float moved up inside loopHi Lorelle
Ok thanks for the quick response.
Problem is clear now.I suggest you should work this out with php.
Which forces the box inside the text and then a little bit CSS should do the rest.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: CSS Float moved up inside loopHi Lorelle
I downloaded the source from your index.php changed it in a html file and i also downloaded the css.file
As far as I understand for the moment you want the menus downbelow the content above the content.
Your CSS file I already started to change because for now it is unreadable.
In the coming week I see what i can do but i do not promise anything if ready I will send you a message.If i can not find a solution I also let you know.
If I understand you wrong let me know something.

In reply to: New Theme 3 columns ?Hello Pomodoro
I am sorry I did not respond yet.
It is not that difficult at all to get three columns there are actually several ways and many designs.
But I understand you are also interested in the code.
Just view the page source there you also will find where the CSS file is located.
Download the CSS file.
There is only one thing everything is still under design !
And I also make use of several layouts so you will see a lot of code also some code maybe pointing to nowhere.
So you are warned !
When everything later completely is adapted to WordPress I will release it for all of them who are interested in it.
Also there will be descriptions inside basic files index.php and style.css etc..
Just because that makes things easier for people to change colours and or pictures and so on.
Lorelle by the way is a master in pointing you to websites with lots of learning topics.
Do not hesitate to ask her help.In the meantime I encourage you and others to experiment with the rough code.
Because I am also busy with other websites it can take a litlle while before releasing but we never know maybe someone else is faster or has better ideas.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 1.5.1.1I constantly see a lot are suspicious or worried even with the RSS issue.
You can upgrade without any problems check out if neccesary the topics about RSS ( use the search option) everything is working very stable if you follow all the instructions with 1.5.1.
Even if there are some minor bugs it still should not withhold anybody from upgrading.
I also already upgraded and continuously follow the forum to stay updated.
As far as I understand there was a serious security issue that is solved far more important then some plugins or a minor RSS problem which is solved already to by some very hard working people behind WordPress.
It is easy to ask some question but sometimes more difficult to use the option “Search First”.
I have seen BUGS and security related issues are treated very serious.
Not only by the makers of WordPress but also by some very dedicated Plugin writers.
The only thing what I can say with my poor designing is update !
And if you have a serious question it always is treated very serious or even private if neccesary.Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Why not release an official 1.5.1 RSS fix?In this case and many others it is a real good idea to setup a system for WordPress like macmanx is reffering to.
It does not do any harm to WordPress but improves the service of WordPress and also makes it easier to quickly update previously installed versions of WordPress.It also makes it more exciting when a real new version is coming out with new options.
And WordPress also becomes more stable.
Right now you really have to follow the website.
While it could be easier also for the developers to release fixes and when there are really permanent or new changes it could become more interesting to release new Versions.
There is really a diference between fixes and new Versions.

In reply to: Why does my menu go down the sidebar with large fonts ?It is indeed an IE issue ot more better a mixed issue.
I also have seen certain problems with plugins.
They are all probably designed to have a nice view in Firefox.But with this kind of design you get a reversed problem.
If you only design under IE or FF Pages or categories do not show up well under FF Op NS IE and so on.
Also when you only wish to design under FF for example certain content is pushed downbelow the way you normally want to show your page.
IE as well as FF has some differences in showing pages.
But if everything has been done well pages are looking almost the same on different browsers.
FF aswell as IE have certain things which I call bad habbit.
Thats why its very important to use more browsers when you design.
I also have a link somewhere on this forum to a CSS file which already is improved a little bit but still needs a lot of improvement but the basic design is from someone else.
There are huge difference’s for example under IE and FF.
Under certain conditions everything looks fine on both site but suddenly you get surprised and everything is pushed down again by IE and or FF.
The real problem is the basics are interpreted different in different browsers.
And is also related to competitive behaviour.
If the basics do not get the same level it always will be difficult to give everybody the same look.
For now the only advice is and remains to design for more then only one browser.

In reply to: RSS feed fails to load on new dateWell this probleme seems to be solved now by anonymousbugger.
After making the changes and the date changed the RSS feeds still work correctly.
Don’t know if the removal of the line has consequences for other things.
If something changes I keep you informed.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: RSS feed fails to load on new dateSo you just can say it is a serious bug.
1.5.1 should have been released more carefull.
I think there will be a lot of bugfixes the coming days.
Altough I think the release was very important.
Otherwise the anounce was less attractive.I only can say for know although basic things are running smooth.
It should have been better to release a security patch instead of an enthousiastic anouncement of a new upgrade.
The 1.5.1 upgrade is really causing serious problems and not at all a solution for stable Worpress users.

In reply to: Lesson: Designing Styles for ContestsHi Lorelle
Well you made some very important points indeed.
That’s also why my new theme still isnt public for download.
It is still under construction to take out child diseases,
that is also why still certain references are used inside the CSS to find them.
But on the other hand if the theme switcher does not pick up the CSS
and is loading for example another file then meant to be for the real theme there is nothing wrong with the new designed theme but with the loaded files from out the theme switcher.On the other hand of course their must be a default, a safe heaven to start with !
But when I look right now what has happened with 1.5.1 I wonder
what is going on here.1.5.1 is in fact still Beta and causing serious problems and still defended as being better then 1.5.0. to take this one as an example.
Ofcourse certain things are running faster.
But I see bugs reffered to by hardliners that should not be there !So on this part of design it should have been better to send out some security patches first to take out certain problems instead of coming up with 1.5.1 with a clear description.
This is not a statement to take WordPress down but a statement to build up WordPress better.
In my opinion you did a very good job to start this topic.
and I hope it will make WordPress even better then it already is.And then one more compliment for the help on WordPress !
Websites like W3C PHP MYSQL and other bigheads could take this website WordPress as an an example for excelent support on all aspects of design.But still things can be improved and as far as I am concerned WordPress has a great future with all these fine people who give great support without any payment.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Lesson: Designing Styles for ContestsEverybody can say what he wants but there is absolutely a relationship in the order of writing down your CSS and the way your page is build up.
Not that I am one of the great top designers.
That it is still a big mess on the Internet is not a surprise.
Take a look at the site from W3C normal people get crazy if they are looking for something on their website.If you open a page first you see a whole lot of information your not looking for.
You see a bunch of information about people who are related to the topic and then MAYBE some information what can be usefull,
and then still you get confused.Still on W3C they are fighting about what is right and what is wrong.
In the early beginning I already was working with DIV’s and LI.
But at that time it was not recommended by W3C my pages did not validate.
And what do you see now these days it is more common then ever.
I can understand why people have problems with designing.
But I think for the best keep in mind the following and I think a lot will agree.
Build up your page together with your CSS file.
If necessary split files into modules.Give specific ID’s any name you like starting with # or . or yourname.
Seperate ID’s and classes.
Although the W3C is a basis for developing the W3C is not really the handbook for beginners more and more it is a place for strangers and bigheads.
The best is to think logical and to go step by step to the top of the stairs although sometimes there are some borders.
As long as there are no specific basic rules it will be difficult all the time.
So the best is to take advice from experienced users without specifically following the rules from BIG heads like W3C.
W3C is also following us and is taking the best from us.
Think logical and design logical.It means.. if you can do with A do no not ad B !
Because A will do.I hope this contribution is not to complicated but will help some beginners.

In reply to: Upgrade 1.5 > 1.5.1I think for the better it is very important to say maybe again disable all plugins before upgrading.
After the upgrade you can enable them again.
And if you still get errors better throw them into the forum.
I had some minor problems with an uninstalled plugin on a local server.
For the rest everything is running very smooth right now local and best of all 1.5.1 seems to be faster then before.Forum: Fixing WordPress
