No. It started after this last update.

What about WP Highslide? https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-highslide-image-viewer/

Has anyone tried that with 2.8?

how exactly do you get the thumbnails to show up in the post? I see the preset1 thumb on the main blog page but I’m not sure how to implement them within the post.

Once you get the thumbnail in the post, can you click on it to enlarge it?

mine did that a couple times when trying to upgrade to 2.8 so I stopped and went about my day. That evening I tried again and it worked fine.

I forgot about comment blacklisting (IP)…

It doesn’t seem to be doing it anymore. Earlier it was fine in Firefox and only flashed in Safari. A reboot must’ve fixed the “problem.”

Is how I’ve coded the header kosher? Can it be improved or anything?

<h1 id="navtitle">
        <a href="/" title="Jan Christian"><img src="https://localhost:8888/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/navbar_jan_christian.png" alt="Jan Christian" /></a>
</h1>
<h2 id="nav1">
        <a href="/photos/" title="Photos"><img src="https://localhost:8888/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/navbar_photos.png" alt="Photos" /></a>
</h2>
<h2 id="nav2">
        <a href="/blog/" title="Blog"><img src="https://localhost:8888/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/navbar_blog.png" alt="Blog" /></a>
</h2>
<h2 id="nav3">
        <a href="/about/" title="About"><img src="https://localhost:8888/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/navbar_about.png" alt="About" /></a>
</h2>
<h2 id="nav4">
        <a href="/about/" title="About"><img src="https://localhost:8888/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/navbar_contact.png" alt="Contact" /></a>
</h2>

Then in style.css I just positioned them using position:relative

I found the problem. Because of how I formatted my nav bar, it pushed everything else further down the page. I used position:absolute to bring #site_content back up, and that’s what messed up the footer. I changed that to relative, tweaked the top value, did the same for #footer, and all is good.

Does anyone have any good JavaScript event tutorials? I tried using the stuff from w3schools but didn’t get it to work. Then I tried Dreamweaver’s image rollover generator. I got the hover effect to work but couldn’t get it to work with onmousedown (so that the link stays in ‘focus’ while that page is active).

edit: one more thing. When cycling through the links, the background image refreshes (flashes). Why?

I updated my site with my progress. I just gave the words a slight black stroke so that they can be seen with styles turned off. Now it “works” with all combinations of styles/images on/off.

Now my next problem: my footer is locked in the middle of the page. Any ideas?

Ok, I think I’ve got it. However, when styles are disabled, none of the transparent img links show b/c they’re white. Is there a way to show a black version when styles are off but show the standard white version when styles are on?

PS, I’m developing locally, so you won’t notice any changes to my site

Well that was easy lol. I was on the right track I just didn’t think to add “/blog” before it. Thanks!

Thanks, cais!

re PNG vs. GIF, it was just a shot in the dark. I didn’t really know which would be better. If GIF is more universally accepted, I’ll go with that.

When you said correct “positioning” of the <DIV>, would that be “absolute”?

I appreciate the help!

OK, so the site is well on its way but I need to work on the nav bar. I had my friend help me get it to where it is but I’d like the header links to be independent of the body text. For example, when you increase or decrease font size within a browser (i used safari), it messes up the nav bar links. and secondly, I’d like the link fonts to be Trajan Pro. Since Trajan Pro isn’t a standard font I guess I should use pictures for this?

Are there any good tutorials that talk about creating nav bar headers with links over pictures? I haven’t seen any that talk about overlapping the two.
