yeah, i’ve been reading up on that, but i already have a email list from my current blog/site, https://www.homeshade.com and I need to keep that going. I’m not sure how that would integrate into feedburner.

ah nice! thanks Latz! i’ll keep an eye on your page then and I’ll keep playing with it myself.

yeah….starting to think it’s not possible. Going to need my hand held through this one. If anyone has any ideas it’d be much appreciated.

Well, here’s the deal, I have a plugin called pagebar installed. It numbers out the post pages (Prev 1 2 3 4 … Next), when you hover over one of the page numbers it pops up a tool tip with the page number. That’s kinda repetitive and useless so I was trying to figure how to make it list the posts titles from that page in the tool tip.

Yeah, I soon realized what happens with query_posts, lol.
I think the ‘the_title()’ makes sense, I’ll give that a shot and reply back.

Thanks again!

I’ve messed with both, the query_posts would work if I could figure out how to just get the title of the posts. Basically, I’m looking to get a list of post titles for a specified page. Can do query_posts(paged=5) and make the “5” a var so it can be dynamic. So I could have displayed which posts are on which page. Does that makes sense? It does in my head, but I don’t know if it does as I’m typing it…lol.

For the pictures on the site? Thank you for the offer, but I do my own slideshows with ProShow Producer.

the youtube quality turned out to be horrible converting from widescreen, lol.

Thank you for the comments/feedback.

@phototristan: I completely agree. I’ve started to work on one a few times, but never finished or was not able to come up with anything that I liked.

@jonimueller: Yeah, I don’t like the watermarks either, but the pics do need to be protected, especially when most of them are of kids. I haven’t really looked into digital watermarking. Have any links that I can browse through? I found a javascript that hides the location of the pics and if I could get it to work like flickr (where if you right click and save the pic file it will just save a blank .gif) then we wouldn’t have to worry about the watermark. Oh and SE side here!

@deuced: The only reservation I have about that is that it is a photo blog. I figure that a majority of the visitors to the site will be on broadband of some sort so it shouldn’t be that big of a problem. I actually tried the thumbnails before and I got feedback from several visitors that they didn’t like having to click to see the pics, they’d rather just scroll through them. I may try limiting it to like two posts per page or something like that and see if that helps.

Thanks again!

well i’ve managed to fix, or workaround, this issue by copying the div layers from another theme’s css and redoing the div’s in the php files for the sunsetidea theme. Wish the theme would have been written properly in the first place!

Actually, the only thing I did to the css was change the image file names. It’s not working properly on yours either, what the theme author has done is make the footer image extend to the bottom of the page, basically so you don’t see the overflow from the blog background images. Take a look at the footer image, you’ll see what I mean.

My issue is that I’m going to have a background at the bottom and I want the footer to be transparent….so I can’t make it extend to the bottom like he did.

Thanks for take a look at it!
