@moshu: ooooh, I didn’t know that I could use archive.php to handle this. I thought I could only use archives.php as a template. The answer is so simple ?? Thanks a lot!!

try making the width of your sidebar smaller.

When hovering on some links in the sidebar, the pop-up is too wide and creates a temporary horizontal scroll. I would work on that. Otherwise, I really like it! Good work!

I have not tried the plugin, but I looked over the PHP, and it looks great on your site! Keep up the good work ??

can you give a link to the site?

check your sidebat.php file to make sure you dont close any div’s too early. This sounds like a problem with your code… Does it validate?

Definitely go with the root. I struggled with this question for a while, switching back and forth. The root is always best…

Hope this helps,

Go to your dashboard, and click “Options”. Scroll down to “Membership”, and you now have two options. You can a) Check “Allow anyone to register”, or b) uncheck “user must be logged in to comment”. I think choice b is easier!

If you go with option a, your students must go to https://yoursite.com/wp-admin . Then, when they register and login, they can comment on your site.

Hope this helps,

do a google search for “PHP mail form”. i’ve looked into it before and found some great stuff. you’ll just have to incorporate it all into your site!

hope this helps

“In Firefox I keep getting this white bar between the header image and the navigation bar.”

This is probably due to a margin or padding in your css document that is applied to the header, or the navigation links.

“And, there’s a very irritating horizontal scroll I can’t get rid of.”

Your page width is probably set to 100%. Change it to 98% and it the bar is still there, try 97%, and so on.

“How do I get my posts to appear in search engines? As in, the permalink page…”

I can’t answer this one, but my educated guess would be increasing your traffic.

I use Spam Karma 2, and it’s great. I suggest you give it a shot if you continue to have problems.

Spam Karma 2

Shamis: No prob!

Samboll: Thanks! I prefer my archives to be seperate from the content. I don’t know why, maybe I just enjoy having another section to the site!

what7: How does it look now, without the image in a post? I thought it looked very structured, but if people think it’s messy, then ill change it!

Shamis: Yeah, I used a little CSS. It’s really easy, actually. For that particular div, images have an opacity of 25%, and on img:hover, their opacity changes to 100%.

Here is what it looks like:

#flickr img{ opacity:.25;}
* html #flickr img{ filter:alpha(opacity=25);}

#flickr img:hover{ border:2px solid #ffffff; opacity:1;}
* html #flickr a:hover img{ border:2px solid #ffffff; filter:alpha(opacity=100);}

I would definitely move those ads out of the way. I didn’t even realize that you had a sidebar beause it blends right in with the ads!

Try changing your font/font sizes/color around. I would also make the links/hover a bit more fun…

Two links to take the user home is also a bit overkill!

Ok, so I changed the theme [in a few minor ways] about a week ago, and I am finally at a point where I love the way it looks.

However, among the few changes that I made, I added some JavaScript [lightbox picture thing] and a small script that I wrote for the ‘random’ images to appear. Does anyone think the page loads too slowly? I’m on a T1 connection and don’t notice a difference, but I’m interested in slower connection time abnormalities.

Also, how do you feel about the way the content is displayed? Good or bad?

Constructive criticism, please!
