In reply to: Changing Background ColorI’m not too sure which area you’re referring to, but:
The area around your actual text entry (WITHOUT the date, title, or “Posted in ____”) is called
.entry
So in your stylesheet, you’d add.entry { background-color: #7f0000; }
The area around your entry, date, title, and “Posted in ____” is called
.post
So you’d add.post { background-color: #7f0000; }
And the area around ALL your posts is called
#content
, so you’d add#content { background-color: #7f0000; }
Also, your website is completely broken in Firefox.

In reply to: Podcasting Newbie Faceplants Into CementAll of those options are only important if your podcast is listed on iTunes. (How do I get my Podcast on iTunes?)
Assuming that’s done and you’re accepted, you’ll get your FeedID and FeedURL from Apple once your podcast is listed.
When your podcast is listed on iTunes, there will be a listing for your podcast in the Apple.com’s Podcast Directory. To get a link to that page, you use the
<?php podPress_iTunesLink(); ?>
. You place it somewhere in yourindex.php
,single.php
, orsidebar.php
page, depending on where you’d like the link to be.You enter the Keywords and Subtitle once and it applied to all of your podcasts.
Yeah, 150mb is too much. My 17 minute MP3 was 16mb.
Also, if you have any podcasting-and-not-Wordpress-related questions, Apple runs a really nice Podcaster’s Forum.

Find

In reply to: Is simple better?I like the B&W a lot more. The color is unnecessary, and you only use it once in the page. Personally, though, I’d enlarge the logo and add a bit of whitespace, like this.
my 2c. I really like the simple design.

In reply to: Learn PHP / MySQL / CSS through WordPress?UrbanGiraffe’s tutorial is very helpful, and it taught me everything I know about CSS.
Also, you can find a ton of stuff by just searching Digg.com for “CSS”. TheUndersigned got 847 Diggs, but I haven’t read it myself.
I think the Codex is a great reference, but it’s not a very good step-by-step-guide to CSS. Just my 2c, though, YMMV.

In reply to: Half-Circumnavigation/Sailing site in WPvkaryl, that’s fine, but there’s no reason to have two menus before we get to the content, regardless of the bold background. I’ve never seen that before, and I think there’s a reason why.
I don’t want to argue this with you, but that’s how I explain my reasoning. I’ll leave it at that.
But don’t get me wrong, I like everything else about the design.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: I don’t know a thing please helpWhat’s the URL of your website? Under “Options”, what are your WordPress Address(URI) and Blog Address(URI)? Where did you unzip all of the installation files when you installed WordPress?
Your blog is supposed to be located at your Blog Address (URI).

In reply to: Write PHP in a page?You’re looking for the Exec-PHP Plugin
Make sure you download the latest version, because older ones had some nasty security exploits (It’s safe now, though)
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Plugins for a competiton type blogWhat game (or type of game) is this? What kind of information will it contain?
Off the top of my head, WP-Lists lets you manage Lists of any kind, which could be useful.
WP Graphs is another possibility.
Off the top of my head, I don’t know any plugins that do exactly what you’re asking for.
Is there any reason you can’t just give everybody their own static page and let them modify it with their info in HTML tables?
Good luck.

In reply to: Half-Circumnavigation/Sailing site in WPIt’s nice, but the content is in the least important spot – the bottom right of the screen. I’d switch it up with ‘sponsors’ sidebar.
