No, of course I don’t mind. Thanks for the good feedback!

nmallory, that is interesting. Are you talking about the sticky posts plugin?

As long as you have a decent working knowledge of CSS and XHTML (quite similar to HTML) you should be able to incorporate the “blogging technology” quite easily. However, you might find it easier to modify an existing theme to look how you want it to. By using the same colour scheme, images and logos as your old pages, you can make it look almost the same, without having to learn the intricacies of how to build a theme.

By the way, I’ve been using your theme for a while, love the new version!

Jon, I believe it’s :

<?php comments_rss_link('Comments on this entry'); ?>

damn! you beat me to it. Here is my take on that same idea (still very very very much work in progress).

I’m looking for an answer to a similar question, so I thought I’d post here instead of starting a new thread.

I’d like to split my loop into two divs, with 3 posts in each div. I have acheived this by using query_posts for the first loop and get_posts (which has an offset parameter) for the second. However, I would also like to exclude a certain category from both these loops, but get_posts doesn’t offer that option.

Basically, what I’m asking is, is there a way to offset a query_posts loop by 3, so I can use 2 query_post loops instead of 1 query_posts and one get_posts?

I’m a noob to most of this stuff, so if I’m being stupid, or if this has already been answered above (I don’t think it has), please be gentle.

could not find a way to over-ride the need for a “title” in WordPress

The way to do this is to access the ‘style.css’ file, also to be found in the wp-contents/themes/default folder. Michael Heilemann, the maker of the default theme, suggests that you add the value “display: none;” inside the { } brackets following the entries for “H1” and “.description”

Very nice, very clean, and fishcakes very much enjoyed the third person “about” section ??

Well, I think it’s a bit dull – but that’s just me. It’s a case of personal opinion. Lots of people like less obtrusive colours, but I like a bit of brightness. In terms of layout, though, it’s pretty good.

wow, very cool.

Yes, that’s because the IE “max-width” fix I used evidently doesn’t work on IE Mac. Anyone got any comments on the design? I would really appreciate some constructive criticism.

very nice. I love how the current post sits in the black section, and recent entries sit in the gold area. Afraid I can’t offer any Safari help, but suffice to say it looks awesome in FF!!

However, I’m not too sure about the change of colour of the text in the ‘shorts’ sidebar on mouseover. On the other hand, it does mean focus is drawn away from the shorts until it is required. Oh, what the hell, great job!

well it seems to look ok in firefox on windows. I like the header image a lot.

It’s really nice, very clean. I like the sidebar especially. How are the “elsewhere” links powered? Is it through a del.icio.us plugin?

Hmm, I can’t really help, but I thought I’d post a link just to make it easier for people to see what your talking about. here it is.
