It seems ok from here maybe you have a trojan?
this is getting way off topic now !

No I can’t – are you on dial up?

Something like this……

<?php

require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);

?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

Your content here

?>
<?php get_sidebar(); /* NOTE THAT SOME FOOTER.PHP FILES INCLUDE THE SIDEBAR AUTOMATICALLY!!! */ ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

TRY THIS:

create a WHATEVER.php file in the main directory , put the ads in that in plain old html and then use the ‘include’ command in the sidebar or leftindex code to call it into place.

<?php include(“WHATEVER.php”); ?>

if your ad is too wide or uses code it may still mess up the layout.

Cos sometimes it messes up ,
and its a lot easier to play with a snippet all on its own..
Im not saying im right.. only trying to help!

I create a WHATEVER.php file in the main directory , put the ads in that in plain old html and then use the ‘include’ command in the sidebar code to call it into place.

Hi, I’m no techie but I have been playing with Blue radiant..here

I had trouble with the narrow side bars and suggest you install the latest version 1.4? which is wider.

[I only imported the css sheet and images from there as my tinkering had gone too far to start again. which isnt ideal I guess.]

In general for side ads I create an ads.php file in the main directory , put the ads in that and then use the ‘include’ command to call it into place.

I use tables in the ads.php file to try to control width problems and have noticed the use of the paragraph command seems to mess things up occasionally but <br> line breaks dont.

I found it now!! Its a mistake in the css of the theme, menu background and font color both set the same… its probably the first (of many)things I tried hours ago but didnt think about AOL and their wonderful caching.

Thanks!

sorry, I reinstalled the original CSS page can you check again please..

I’m using windows and AOL , I shoulda known better , since checking on IE , its resolved itself including that terrible black background, Thanks

You are wonderful! 2 birds with 1 brief stone..thankyou!

here’s an afterthought, how difficult would it be to add an ALT tag to the trackback link ?

Hi all thanks for the interest. I used haloscan on blogger and was expecting something similar.. WP seems to assume all its users are a bit more techie minded and it’s just intuitive, anyways I found this link all by myself and it fits what I want and may help anyone who looks this up in future..
