  • Just a query.
    Why are you using <div>blah blah </div> instead of
    <p>blah blah</p> in your article content?

    You have:

    <div class=”post-content”>
    <div>Hello and I’m glad you have found the The Amador Observer.</div>
    <div>
    <div>So what is this site all about?</div>
    <div>This site is intended to be both an ”Internet Newspaper” and a “Forum”. It is also intended to air the thoughts and opinions of the residents of Amador County in regards to some of the many issues facing us today. The primary theme you will see discussed on this site is growth, but this is not the exclusive subject matter by any means.</div>

    </div>
    <div>This site will be your opportunity to share your views, information and opinion.</div>
    <div />
    <div />
    <div>This county is facing a crossroads. We haven’t succumbed to rampant development … yet.</div>
    <div>However, the developers have “discovered” our area and the number of proposed retail and housing projects are astonishing.</div>
    <div>Everyone, and I do mean everyone, that I talk to is greatly distressed by what is happening in our area and what is being proposed. It is unfortunate that the prevailing attitude is one of resigned hopelessness. The feeling of ”…what can I do…?”</div>

    <div>Do we just allow a handful of local politicians, bureaucrats and developers to call the shots?</div>
    <div>If you want to see the results of this approach, take a look at Placerville, Folsom, Sonora and just about any once-small town that has become almost unliveable.</div>
    <div>This will be us if we do not speak up and let the Planning Commission, Supervisors and City Councils know your thoughts. This site just may be the place to start.</div>
    <div />
    <div>Please bear with us during this new “start up” period. Feel free to email me with any goofy links or info you may find.</div>
    </div>

    curious minds just wanna know ??

    I’m getting a weird display when I click on your “working” links.

    hello-world & uncategorised posts shows partial 404 page in the header section and partial page of navigation and nice pic top left corner. Is this right?

    Um, I’m new to HTML, but learning more every day; How can I figure out which php file the validator is referring to?

    easy;

    try naming your template files so when you validate and W3C displays output, it will also display the name of your template.

    How?

    Add this to every template bar header.php

    <!--name of your template-->

    try around:
    <body>
    <div id=”container”><!--index.php-->

    It will help you enormously when you view your html via View/Source thru your toolbar.

    If you use your View/Source in your web browser toolbar, you see your page in html form. As you scroll down a bit you’ll see the following:

    <div class=”entry”>
    <p> <font face=”Times New Roman” size=”3″>Besides keeping the skin extremely clean, try these at-home methods to get rid of this pesky problem.</font> </p>

    <ul type=”disc”>

    Perhaps its not in your templates at all but rather in your writing of posts.

    Open your post titled: Bye Bye Blackbirds and check the content you wrote. If the inserted font-face isn’t in your body of your article, then its definitely in your template.

    Hard-coded = code or html markup you hand coded into your templates or post yourself.

    Your font problem is occurring in the templates itself.

    You have hard-coded it like so:
    <div class=”entry”>
    <font face="Times New Roman" size="3">

    Open index.php, single.php (probably all of them) and check hard-coded input where you have “entry” and delete. Save.

    A link to your website would be helpful so we can see your stylesheet and advise accordingly. ??

    Can you explain what you did to achieve everything worked perfectly?

    Your input will help someone else trying to get their theme to function.

    Style sheet is missing perhaps because:

    1) when you unzipped your theme folder on your desktop, it automatically creates another folder inside the first = 2 folders.

    2) when you FTP this theme to your wp-content/themes folder the style sheet cannot be referenced thru two folders.

    Suggestion: delete your theme from your wp-content/themes and re-FTP taking care to check, first, inside the theme folder on your desktop that there’s only one yellow folder.

    ie: when you click on it and the theme folder opens, can you immediately see all the files and stylesheet?

    Or do you have to click open another yellow folder before that occurs?

    If you have to double click your way thru to the files, you have ONE FOLDER too many. Delete one, then FTP.

    Refresh your dashboard/Presentation/themes

    It should work

    Sorry. I’d love to hep you out on this but WP 2.0 is quite beyond me.

    Maybe Podz or Kafkaesqui or any of the other mods can help you out.

    You need to create a new thread for this. Your problem has no relevance on this issue at hand.

    Thanks

    @netdetective

    No. Your sidebar didn’t disappear when I viewed your page in MSIE 6.

    It rendered nicely, actually. In (1024×800) your sidebar was a little away from the body of your content, not overly so, but there’s definitely white space to contend with.

    I didn’t narrow my browser window smaller than (800×600) as anything smaller is wasting your time.

    Otherwise Petit, again, is right. Any distortion you see has nothing to do with the properties of your monitor, but again I stress that I did not see any distortion to begin with.

    Hope that helps clarify.

    I agree with petit, on validating issues, but in the end Kahil the choice is yours. It’s always nice to know that everyone who owns a blog is attempting to keep up with standards ??

    As to your overall look of your website? I like it, dark header inclusive. Sure, it sorta sticks out, but it doesn’t offensively so. Perhaps a lighter color would be nice – its up to you.

    I also like your reviews, which I mentioned above, and yes, I spent some time yesterday reading your colorful posts.

    i just don’t understand the whole validating thing because the things it picks up are all in the correct format for wordpress. afterall, wordpress is the one that generated them all.

    Unfortunately, that isn’t strictly true. WordPress for the most part inserts relevant code, but themes are another issue entirely. For the most part they are valid, but there’s some out there that are not.

    And I suppose it comes back to validating your markup to ensure your theme renders nicely in all browsers. Again, the choice is yours to make ??

    I encounter no browser problems when I viewed your site (1024×800) & (800×600) IE6

    Anything smaller is wasting your time ??

    No one is complaining that your site isn’t working, rather we are advising that there is the potential that it may not work in the future.

    That’s why its important to validate your site so those poor folk out there who want to read your stuff, which incidentally I checked out your reviews – excellent stuff, may not be able to read it like moi. comprendre?
