I guess there is some css along with it that looks like it defines the thumbnail size – I don’t know how to incorporate this css with this template though – do I make the file name of the css match the file name of the php (ie thumbnails.php and thumbnails.css)??

They aren’t actually showing up as thumbnails – it is displaying the image full-sized…

I had not set a featured image – that seems to have fixed it – but the thumbnail is huge – where do I change the thumbnail size setting? Thank you!

Thanks Andrew – I was able to achieve what I wanted by using opaque pngs for the background using the following css

div#page.hfeed.site{
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url(‘https://www.daily-mash.com/wordpress2/wp-content/uploads/opaqueblack.png’);
background-repeat: repeat;
}
div.entry-content {
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url(‘https://www.daily-mash.com/wordpress2/wp-content/uploads/opaqueblack3.png’);
background-repeat: repeat;
}

just thought I would post that in case anyone else needed help! Thanks again!

Do jpgs store opacity settings and show up see-through if you set the opacity in something like photoshop?? I had no idea they would actually appear opaque on a website…

the background thing makes sense – I will try that – thanks for the help!

So I figured out how to make the content part non-opaque – the problem is that when I add in the #page.hfeed.site or div#main-wrapper selectors – they take presidence over the #div.entry-content that I have set up – is there a way to define which rules take priority over the others?? Thanks for the help!

for some reason none of the ones that I use the . with make any changes. I have been using the web developer tool in Chrome to help identify which selector to use for which portion of the site but I haven’t had much luck with those . ones – even when chrome displays them that way

That completely removed the color and the opacity from the place where I wanted it…

I have tried the rgba thing on some other elements and it never seems to work

yeah I sent them an email – I guess I will see what they say – I appreciate all of your help!

the host just says that they use it – I don’t know if it’s an option.

So I did some digging on ipage and found this – I don’t fully understand it but it seems like this may be the source of most of my frustration – I don’t really get what it means by rename all images and links to make it update instantaneously…any ideas?

Configure Akamai after purchase
After you have purchased the Akamai, the following process occurs:

iPage modifies your DNS, so that all new traffic requesting your site routes through Akamai’s servers. The change takes a maximum of 24 hours, but often as little as 2 hours.
iPage sets up browser caching on your site as part of the Akamai configuration. This configuration allows your site to maximize the benefits offered by the Akamai solution.
iPage redirects all requests for yoursite.com to https://www.yoursite.com, where “yoursite” is your domain name. If you wish to change this default setting, to redirect to another subdomain, you may do so through the Akamai tool page. Akamai works exclusively on subdomains to avoid collision with existing DNS MX records that may be associated with the base domain.
Route your site through Akamai when using custom Nameservers
When using non-iPage nameservers, you can still use Akamai. However, you need to make the following adjustments to your DNS settings at the nameserver you use:

For each subdomain you would like to route through Akamai you will need two CNAMEs:
a CNAME record pointing https://www.yourdomain.com to ipage-cust.com.edgekey.net
a CNAME pointing origin-www.yourdomain.com to yourdomain.com

where https://www.yourdomain.com is the subdomain being routed through Akamai

Troubleshooting
I changed my pages, but the new content is not showing up
Your site’s images, CSS, and javascript are cached on Akamai’s servers for 4 hours. You will automatically see your new content when the servers renew.

If you wish to change your site instantaneously, rename your images and all links to the images, to force the new content.

So now I went to my other computer and loaded the page and the word home is showing up in red…how the heck am I supposed to tweak and edit this thing if the changes don’t show up right away?
