I think you need to start out locating you layout code and altering that. This may be in a layout folder within your theme folder or it could be incorported into your stylesheet. There will be specifice code that describes where your <div> is located and how wide it is.

What changes did you make to CSS?

The other templates are called by: php get_header or php get_footer.

The comments template is called by: php comments_template – so since it’s a different form I’m guessing that there may be a little more to it.

I only allow comments on my single post page so I don’t see much benefit in having the comment code in a different file, but the system is not cooperating – I think.

Do you know the ways of ftp???

Thanks for the input. I’ll dig a little deeper into the codex.

bsf, Thanks. I like your site too. Except that I had larva dreams last night.

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION: The only way to do a truly minimalist theme is to either write your own or gut an existing one. There are themes that are minimalist on the outside, but they aren’t minimalist on the inside. My blog.txt has been disgorged of its options setting, layout selections, widget support and semantic classes. If I don’t use it, I get rid of it.

Have a nice day.

drew, thanks for getting back.

If I write a theme, it will be for personal consumption only. I’m not a good enough programmer or patient enough to create a feature rich ready for distribution theme. But if I go through all the trouble I want to brag that it’s my own creation – even though I anticipate that about none of the php will be my own. Thus the dilemma.

Is there a specific code set that one can use without needing to give credit? Obviously, I want to hog all the credit for myself.

Thanks again.

bsflarva, I started with wordpress about 2 months ago – using blog.txt. I didn’t know sqwat about html or css when I started, but I’ve had a lot of fun learning.

I have made gradual changes to the site over the last 2 months. I am pretty happy with it now. I hope I don’t keep changing it because everytime I start hacking on my theme my writing begins to suck.

Here it is:

Thanks for responding threestyler, It appears to be happening to my users as well. I’ve had a couple of situations where users posted with someone elses name – unintentionally I’m sure.

Question: For a non-logged in users with name and website stored in cookies, do the name and website fields get sent from the server to the user pre-populated or is this information dynamically read from the cookie as the page is being loaded by the browser? I wonder if it’s possible that when I have more than one user active at a time that the server might be getting confused? But since these user’s are not logged in anyway, I don’t know if the server even has this information.

Another thing, I did recently load the pluggin TinyMCComments (or something like that). The pluggin has some strange behavior patterns anyway, so I wonder if that could be causing problems.

Thanks again.

MTM, I’ve got so many backups now I’m starting to get confused. I’m not very good at this, so I’ve broken my site about a hundred times, but I’ve always managed to get it fixed – so far.

There is still a lot of stuff in the style sheet that I don’t know what it is. But I’m slowly figuring it out. I’ll gut it as I can. My biggest concern is that once it’s all stripped down I’ll become feature crazed. That would be unfortunate.

moshu, thanks for jumping in. maybe it’s there for backward compatabillity. I guess I can delete it and see if anything really horrible happens.

Thanks again.

mfields, Thanks for the help. It will take me a while to figure out what you’re saying about wp_list_pages, but I’ll work it over this weekend.
