Perfect ?? thanks soo much

i think what you want is to edit the excerpt ??? try looking for a plugin excerpt editor ???? this may help…

yeah i would change the

define(‘HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH’, 760);
define(‘HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT’, 200);

to

define(‘HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH’, 830);
define(‘HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT’, 75);

sorry bout that last post comment box is bugged in FF couldn’t do returns ???

also is that CSS inline ?? in the php file ??

i could also suggest CUTTING ! lol that out saving and then testing the site again inline code overwrites code in the css file

make sure you cut it out so you can paste it back in if anything happens
lol

#headimg {
height: <?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT; ?>px;
width: <?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH; ?>px;
} that is telling it to resize the head image to 760 x 200 so hope this helps

what file are you editing index.php or header.php ?? my site uses tim thumb to resize images <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo( 'template_directory' ); ?>/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo get_post_meta( $post->ID, "image_value", true ); ?>&w=600&h=250&zc=1" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a> ?>&w=600&h=250&zc=1″ this line of code automatically crops re-sizes images to 600 x 250 is there code like that on the div that you are placing the image into bit i know its a bit of a stab in the dark without seeing the code but if the image is getting re sized automatically i would have to think there would be a java call some where that does it rather than the css

kk thanks for the reply that was quite helpful!!! ?? the plan was to add a nofollow and target blank to images as default, but i have since realized that this can be done by clicking the images and adding through the advanced settings also wanted to change the structure by which they were inserted it just looked a bit messy however this may be from my novice posting skills lol thanks again

you sure thats the right image ?? when i click view background image the image does not look as thought it has been saved correctly ??? very grainy as well i would suggest you try and resave the image and try again also set a larger height for the image

lol nice to see your starting off simple ?? good luck

.post {
border-bottom:2px none #333333;
padding:10px 0;
width:960px;
float:left;
}
my bad

.post {
border-bottom:2px none #333333;
padding:10px 0;
width:960px;

.thumbnail {
background:#222222 url(i/thumb.png) repeat scroll 0 0;
display:block;
height:100px;
margin:40px 10px 10px 0;
overflow:hidden;
width:470px;

shouldn’t use relative positioning probably what was messing it up

look for a plugin contact form 7 that may help has a good contact form and you can add an image upload through the plugin nice and easy then style through the css file

do you have a link to your site ?

<div class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link(‘<img src=”/images/next.png” alt”next”/>’) ?></div>

note you will probably have to use the full image path rather than just /images/next.png

think that will work any way

got to appearance then editor then style.css

and then look for the body tag

eg:

body { background: #ccc }

note colours are in hex code so #ccc is grey change that to the appropriate code

do you use firefox ??? if not download it and ad the firebug plugin opposite click the element that you wish to style and make sure that that is the correct class and that you have targeted it correctly there may be a more defined tag targeting that class ?? firebug for the win helps me heaps with that sort of stuff couldn’t live with out it

hope it helps and that i didn’t miss the point
