Not sure if this has anything to do with it – but are you set as the “admin” or “author” in the options?

another suggestion – try deleting the post, and “view blog”. then close and re-open browser?

Would love to help, but I’m not sure what you’re asking. The “template” is the backend of your wordpress that is pulling the info and displaying it on your blog. None of that “shows” up directly on the web. Your “post area” is also in the admin area where you type your posts – that colour is also irrelevant to what shows up on the web. If you are talking about the colour that your post text is, when published that can be changed in your css file. But I wouldn’t go around changing things in that file unless you know what you are doing.

The “skipping one line” is an entirely different question and that is the post editor that is set in the wordpress files themselves.

Maybe if you aren’t getting the answers you are looking for, you could re-word the question? There are helpful people here. But its hard to help when the question isn’t clear.

CSS Tutorial This is the link that I use to find solutions to css problems. I think this could help you fairly quickly.

The margin set to 200px will automatically cause all subsequent layers to go around it. You will need to use proper css layers, instead of margins to get your image where you’d like it to be, and then your text will wrap around (providing that it also has a proper css division assigned to it).

Maybe someone more skilled in css can help you more! ??

there are oodles of random post plugins in the extend page.

Hello Drewactual, I took a quick look. I’m far from an expert, but here’s my 2 cents:
– love the sidebars – very concise, good use of white space, tons of fun stuff for readers
– there is no link in header (eg: home)
– pics are great, info in sidebars are great – didn’t read the articles, I’ll leave that to the cyclists.
– Love teh wrap/ background.
– I would add more white space above the header, and below the paginated next>> at bottom of index page. I would suggest something Similar to the sidebars.
– you did get a newspaper look, but I’m no cyclist/ outdoor person, so you’d know if it appeals to your readers.

Duh! I just put the text on my image, and upload it together!

Glad to see that dubyah is helping you.

Also, in the style sheet: style.css usually, you can find the code that styles the sidebar headings: pages, calendar, categories, etc. They are either under a section in the css called #sidebar/ or they are the main content (in the widest regular post part of the site), which is styled under #main. It may be something like adding <h2> Verse of the Day </h2>. But of course, that depends on which heading that is mentioned in the style sheet that you like. There are usually H1, H2, H3, h3-sidebar, etc. THat would take care of the styling of the Verse of the day.

To do the graphic, you’ll upload a pic into a graphics manager like photoshop, add the “Sweet Sophie” title, and save it in the /wp-content/themes/images/header_img (or something similar) You upload these through the server, FTP client, or the wp-admin interface.

Hope this helps!

I think that means that there’s something wrong in that functions file. If I were you, and hadn’t made changes to that file manually, I would re-install that particular file through an ftp client.

Others may have more intelligent advice! good luck. ??

of course, you’d google that along with the words: wp theme

I’ve seen several of them. Ideas to google: anime, or the name of the particular game. I’ve seen some of hubby’s role playing games show up in themes, but I can’t remember them now – the fantasy/ build the civilization type.

If I were you, I’d google, “wp plugins gallery”

Thanks for the info – I did try to delete the call to the post template, and input the direct loop (from the post template) and it worked great! Now the index.php has its own call to the loop.

And my ads look great on the single & page templates…. And I just realized that I have to create the same “real” loop on every page where excerpts are used… hopefully not too many more! Categories, search results I think.

wahoo, feels good to find a solution!

ok – that totally gave me pause! lol, yes, I have indeed checked the index.php, but it(the index) calls the post.php just as it(the index) calls the header, footer, etc. So, I was thinking that I need to then edit the post.php, no?

The post.php adds things like the meta data, link_pages, the_content/ the_excerpt, footer, and separater for each post. It is one of the simplest themes I’ve found (in the backend) which is why I’ve chosen to modify it. So, if it is the post.php that I must edit, the above question applies I think.

it would also work, if I could just get it to show up in “the-content()”, and not the excerpts. I’m thinking that must be possible… just not for me! any help?
