I told him about upgrading. He doesn’t want to.

All I am asking is, is there a way to upload pictures in 2.0.2, and if so, how does one do it? And, same question for pdf files.

I no longer have a 2.0.2 installation to check it out for myself so I thought I’d see if anyone here knows the answer.

Some kind of tagging? To make it easier to search for a theme that meets someone’s needs — by main color, or simple or artsy, or by plugins included, or any other possible searches? It can be exhausting and overwhelming for a newbie to look through all the themes trying to find the one that best fits the look or features they want. And it can be hard to judge from just a picture what the other features might be, like how hard or easy it would be to tweak or customize the theme.

I would still love to have a collapsible excerpt plugin — on the main page, show complete posts, but on archive pages, have excerpts with a collapsible link to the whole post.

Apparently something is preventing IE from seeing your display: inline and list-style-type: none bits — sorry to say I’m not exactly sure what is the problem. I hope someone else can help!

Add this to your CSS

#navmenu
{
font-size: 1.1em;
}

Which will make the text just a bit bigger, just in those menu items.

I can’t tell you how to get the menu to stretch the full width, except to play with the padding and margin numbers for the li items until you find something that works.

Something else to consider — the navmenu overlaps the header text just a tiny bit — at least in FireFox.

Thank you!

It’s in Sam’s hands now and he’s happy with it.

Chances are your stylesheet isn’t distinguishing between lists in the header <div> and the sidebar <div>.

If your header <div> is called id="header" in the template files, try making your stylesheet list menu code start with

#header ul or #header ul li or whatever, instead of just

ul or li.

I love this idea — but would prefer smaller, faster-loading pictures, and have kittens vs flowers or something more obvious than kittens vs other animals.

Seems to me to be working fine. I clicked on both your photo and the header title image and both took me to the front page.

Hmmm… interesting. So if I assign this correct height background image to the header via CSS, there’s no way to make it show the whole image? Or could I use a display: 100% declaration?

Yes, I tried that, and it didn’t work.

Well, it didn’t work yesterday, but today it does. That is just weird.

Thanks!

Anyway, I’m still curious why using a background image of the correct height didn’t actually work.

If it’s possible, how about a guide for creating a variable-width layout that can handle minimum widths across various browsers, or that won’t resize narrower than the widest image in a post?

One way is to give that content area its own id. Perhaps it already has one? Such as:

#special

Then to set a border for images in the special div, add this to the css:

#special img
{
border: 1px solid #000;
}

If you want all images bordered, insert the following in your stylesheet:

img
{
border: 1px solid #000;
}

which will give you a thin solid black line border.

If you only want certain images to be bordered, you’ll have to make the css more specific.

.post img

will apply to all imgages in a div whose class is “post.”

img.border

will apply to any images that are assigned the class “border” — i.e. in the post you would write

<img class="border">

along with the other attributes.

Kickass, was that for me or for the original poster? Husband does have google toolbar installed in IE — why would that only affect one of the fields?
