Wow – if you mess with the default theme and don’t save it, you can’t blame the devs, it’s just like changing any other core WordPress file.

I know – the next release of WordPress shouldn’t update any files, just in-case somebody has made changes to them, wouldn’t want them to lose any changes now would we?

Email notifications broke for me with Bluehost too, but apart from that everything else is fine for me (manual install).

I can see this being fairly easy, you just need to make a container for the image and name and style it in CSS, and that use some simple PHP to name the box in your XHTML.

For instance (very simply)

CSS:

#box {
width:300px;
height:300px;
padding:5px;
}

#box .dynpic1 {
background:#000 url ('images/dynpic1.jpg')
}

Create a .dynpic 2, 3 and 4 etc. in the CSS.

and for the PHP/XHTML:

<div id="box">
<div <?php if (is_page('[PAGE]')){ echo "class=\"dynpic1\">"; } ?>
</div>
</div>

I’ve not tested this but that’s the basic idea.

Yup, it’s called Notepad.

Further research indicates that there is no such function unless I increase the size of my cloud, which is a shame ??

It couldn’t be you by any chance could it? Everyone else seemed to manage, but you can’t do it so it’s the documentations fault?

I agree with the above poster, a gothic type font would suit the theme more. You could do with reducing the size of the images too, try to keep them all below 20k.

You can get a bit lost in your navigation as well due to the two rows, maybe make it dynamic? Dynamic Navigation.

Open up header.php and look for the div id = menu section.
Add the link you want wrapped in li tags at the end of the section, before the closing ul tag.

This will then be styled like your other links, you may have to play about with the link code a little bit.

If your links are called by a function, your site’s source will show you what links to manually add if you want to do away with the function (gives you more control).

A few silly suggestions

Add a bit of margin to your footer to get some white space at the bottom, in Firefox the bottom border is right at the bottom of the screen, looks messy.

Also, the Google custom search bar (top right) is too big for the container it’s in.

Most blogs?

None of the blogs I visit require me to logon to see the content, only if I want to comment on them.

I’ve never seen a blog that I have to login to see anything, that would be silly.

“Is there any disadvantages to this?”

Nope, that’s exactly what I do when I mod Kubrick since I like the sidebar viewable at all times.

kubrickbg has the grey to the right for the sidebar, the kubrickbgwide is all white for single article pages.

Advanced Tag Entry

Specifically for WordPress 2.3 and a lot lighter than the other plugins so far. Seems to work well.

That’s just the way the Kubrick CSS is laid out, elements are declared in duplicate within sections.

It’s not the big deal you make it out to be, if you want to tidy it up, tidy it up.

I do believe some designs can not be done in WordPress though

I agree – but it’s CSS in general and not WordPress.
