Thanks, man, but it’s really just based on the Kubrick format, with quite a few different bits/plugins nailed on here and there. My coding ability is limited!

WOW, Jinsan, we posted almost the exact same answer at the exact same time! great minds ??

I would recommend using photopress and then doing this:

1) add this code to your CSS file:

img.centered {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

img.alignright {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 0 2px 7px;
display: inline;
}

img.alignleft {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 7px 2px 0;
display: inline;
}

.alignright {
float: right;
}

.alignleft {
float: left
}

2) Now, whenever you add the image code into your post from Photopress, add within the img tag either class="alignleft" or class="alignright". This should wrap the images correctly.

BTW, I lifted that CSS straight out of the default Kubrick template, so I take no credit for that whatsoever. Hope that helps!

Wow, thanks, Jinsan. That’s a really useful CSS link for a newbie like me. I did notice a similar tut at David Appleyard‘s site. I think I’ll have a go at creating my own navbar. Thanks to everyone for their help.

hehe I got tired of dull blue blogs :). I heed your calls for more readable links, I’ve changed them to a kind of bright orange (here).

I’ve now centred the navbar on purpose, because otherwise I can’t get it to stay fixed where I want it.

wow, looks great, good job.

Never mind. Y’know, it’s kinda funny. When experimenting, I accidentally turned off the image behind the navbar altogether, and I think I like it better that way (insert “sheepish” emoticon here).

Still having positioning problems though. On my template, position:absolute seems to position it realtive to the whole viewing window. Any other ideas how to position the bar relative to the header, not the whole page?

[ps, just realised I can just change my resolution to 800×600 in the settings display tab. duh. still need info on 1280 tho]

actually, I think it may be because I haven’t defined the image size, as it says you must on the link you gave. Can I do this in CSS?

aha, good point. I’ll give it a whirl. Also, having some problems with the PNG fix. I have installed the code as instructed, but still getting nasty grey bits around the bar. Is this a problem with my PNG image?

cheers for the link, I’ll try that out. But surely ‘position:absolute’ wouldn’t work, cos the distance between the header and the side of the page would change with resolution, but the distance between the navbar and the side of the page wouldn’t. If that makes sense…

Hmm.
Dgstinner – thanks for the feedback, it shouldn’t be there, should be a bit futher left. It’s because it’s positioned using percentages. I was afraid this might happen. Is there any way I can position it a certain number of pixels from the edge of the header image? (Must point out I’m a bit of a newbie when it comes to CSS etc, but I’m picking it up).

Ifelse – I know what you mean. I did think that when I did it. In the end I thought it was just readable enough, but if you’re finding it hard to read, I may change it.

Lawtai – Isn’t it? ooh, how?

Thanks for feedback, keep it coming…

Tabs like these? Or these?

Instructions on the first kind can be found here and the second kind here. Hope that helps ??

I followed the instructions on Lucky 33‘s site, and basically found myself with an empty searchbox that didn’t do anything, even if I hit enter. You can see it in (in)action on my site: Fish Cakes Blog.

A really useful tweak. thanks, danielck!

No, I’ve had none whatsoever. Just can’t get it to work. Oh, cruel irony, why dost thou mock us?
