Thanks for the advice, moshu– the TEMPLATEPATH option looks like it will work…

ok.. thanks for the clarification…

moshu – if I want to use it in my WordPress blog, in my WordPress theme, in a WordPress php file, why isn’t it a WordPress question?

What’s the protocol?

Thanks for the advice…
I validated the code… it was OK…

I played with the theme some more, and figured out the problem: IE was choaking on my YouTube plug-in. Soon as I deleated the post with the YouTube screen and link, Explorer digested everything properly (except for the content’s color — which looks like a standard IE browser bug I can probably work around).

Again, thanks for the help…

Yes, thanks for the link…

Thanks for the clarifying info, HandySolo…

Is there a way to delete those links from the dashboard’s Latest Activity panel? Or limit the number of links displayed there?

Thanks for the help– Now it’s finally starting to make sense– I missed Moshu’s anatomy ‘visual” link in my other thread (my bad)… and it’s a really good way to see how everything fits together..

Yes, Otto42, I checked footer.php and there’s an extra closing </div> at the bottom, and also the closing </body> tag is there…

Which leads me to this follow-up question I asked the other day but didn’t get a clear response: what page hierarchy does WordPress follow to look through the sub-indexed pages so that it knows when to close a div or class statement?

I know it looks for home.php first, and then index.php. What order does it follow after that? Is it a top to bottom procedure – header.php/sidebar.php/footer.php – or is there some other built-in hierarchy it uses?

Thanks for the tip, estjohn–
I just took a quick look at the page source, and I’m guessing it will take about three martinis, two aspirins, and about a dozen or so follow up questions to figure it all out.

I have no problem giving credit to the guy who created the design (it’s a work of art) — that was the first link I mentioned.

It’s the second link I’m asking about — this one that jumps to a sandal retailer:

https://www.active-sandals.com/

Anyone have reservations about removing this link?

Thanks for the reply DianeV–

I still would like to know the following–
When WordPress assembles the information it needs to display the theme, is this the hierarchy it follows?

First this —
1. home.php
2. index.php

Then this —
* header.php
* sidebar.php
* footer.php
* comments.php
* comments-popup.php

And then on to the other pages (Single Post, Static Page, Catagory Page, etc.) … Or does it skip the header, sidebar, footer, etc– and come back to them later?

I tried the above– seems to be working ok…
(one small step for the CSS apprentice ?? )

Drmike: I’m new at this, so bear with me…

I’m not quite sure what you mean by ‘create another wrap.’

Do you mean I should create a new ID selector in ‘single.php’ (and call it something like <div id=”content_single”> and then in my ‘style.css’ do something like this:

#contents_single {
margin-left: 200px;
}

Or am I way off track here?

Thanks for responding, samboll. Sorry I didn’t explain my questions clearly enough.

The Image Manager plug-in is a utility to edit the image styles: position, margins, padding, and placement etc., and then upload the image to the post box on the Write screen.

A fancier version of the standard built-in file uploading utility, it also lets you create pop-up thumbnails on your blog page.

I have two problems (difficulties?) using it:

First, after I edit the image in the plug-in module and send it to the Write screen or publish it, if I’m unhappy with the way the image looks, it’s cumbersome to make changes. I can’t just highlight the image (like I can with the built-in editor) and make quick adjustments to it. Instead, I have to call up the plug-in module, browse for the image, click it into the module, and re-enter all the styling info, and resend it to the write screen.

I was hoping there’s a quicker way to re-edit images, instead of the clunky way it works now.

Also, I’m hoping there’s a way to have more than one thumbnail pop-up window open on the blog page at the same time. The pop-up feature is nifty: if you click on the thumbnail, a window pops opens on the blog page, and you can drag it wherever you want. But you can only pop up one image at a time (if you send three pop-up thumbnails to the page, you can only toggle between them one at a time).

Thanks Otto42–

It was the Gibson post – soon as I left him on the cutting room floor, the theme formatted properly (if he had guzzled Hefewizen instead of Cazadores Tequila, all of us would have been better off – yes, checked your site, very nice!!)

And incertus, I’ve taken your advice, installed NoteTab Pro, and will filter future posts thru that.
