In reply to: kubrick sidebarJet: Narrowcolumn and Widecolumn are never both used on the same page. Narrow is for archive and index pages (and the main page); wide is for individual entries.
1. Find <b>#sidebar</b> in the CSS file (it’s near the bottom).
2. Increase the narrowcolumn width by some amount (say, 50px), and decrease the sidebar’s <i>margin-left</i> by the same amount.
Magnumgrp1: the gray image is for the very edges of the page; the sidebar background color is built into the kubrickbg.jpg file.
There’s a quick fix if you want to get rid of the gray color and make the sidebar and main content area the same shade (white, that is). (Once you’ve done that, you’ll be able to move the sidebar wherever you want using css).
Find kubrickbgwide.jpg file, download it, rename it kubrickbg.jpg, and upload it (overwriting the old file).
You can see this in action on my (slightly unfinished) site.

In reply to: Remembering logins for commentsAlright, still a browser thing, sort of. But to view the site in the first place, the users must be logged in, which requires a password. The site already stores this info; why not extend it to comments?

In reply to: Remembering logins for commentsLeaving it to the browsers also invites the possibility of fraud (e.g. posting under someone else’s username). A pretty remote possibility in my case, but something to think about.

In reply to: Remembering logins for commentsWell, yes, but a lot of people don’t use firefox (the people who will be using the blog are not technically adept, as a whole). It would be nice if there was a way to do this within wordpress.

In reply to: problem with wp-emailUm — for some reason the forum added an A tag to that. The actual message was just

In reply to: New DesignThe fonts are cool, but graphics aren’t machine-readable (or readable by, for example, blind people using text-to-speech). You might try sIFR — https://www.mezzoblue.com/archives/2004/10/26/sifr/index.php — it’s like the image-as-text thing you’re using, but much, much better.
