Great plug-in, however it doesn’t validate ??

If you could make it validate and allow in-line lists with comma separators this plug-in could become very popular very quickly. I’ve tried styling the list produced however in-line comma’s were’nt possible.

I found that playing with the CSS present on wordpress themes taught me the fastest. If I got stuck I’d go research what I was stuck on!

You quickly learn what does what with a live example, theory and practice together.

You need to read up on CSS, that code calls the CSS stylesheet associated with your theme.

Your theme layout and colours are determined with CSS.

Some blank templates here

Choose your layout and start fiddling! Apologies if this has double posted, replies seem to go missing on these forums only to turn up hours later.

There’s 203 validation errors in your XHTML, I’d start there.

Errors.

Try setting the background image divs to display inline, they typically default to block.

A quick 5 second look at the page source and I can see two line breaks, co-incidentally they are exactly where your gaps are.

I don’t know of any plug-in that does this, hence no reply.

You’d have to more or less rewrite the whole of Kubrick. It has “narrowcolumn” and “widecolumn” classes you’d have to take out of the templates as well as hard coded images you’d have to strip from the CSS. Kubrick is set up with fixed width images that span the whole page with no provision to stretch them.

It would be quicker to create a new theme from a blank template and put a Kubrick like header on it!

Don’t get me wrong, you can edit Kubrick easily so long as you strip the images (see my blog for example) but I wouldn’t ever attempt to make it fluid!

Open up the style.css of the theme you want to edit in a text editor, make your changes and upload it to your webspace to overwrite the previous version. Try PSPad out if you don’t like notepad.

Load up your blog, view the source and see if you can spot the sections you want to change, you should find the same sections in the style.css file.

Try playing with the colours and fonts first, just change one thing at a time and if you don’t like the changes you can change it back.

I use Kubrick with no images, makes a great minimalist theme that you can play with indefinitely. Take a look at the CSS on my site to see how to strip it down (link in my profile)

I’ve never received anything either, I rely on the wp-testers list instead.

Simplest way is to open up single.php and replace “widecolumn” with “narrowcolumn”, remembering to call the sidebar as well.

Take a look at index.php for the command to call the sidebar (right at the bottom).

I hope you don’t work in web design…

You need to add quotes to the parenthesis:-


<? wp_title(""); ?>
