Didn't quite work out. This theme is built on the sandbox that the theme write and a buddy have created. The sandbox thing, uses all css to do its um... design. So the css style sheet, is just massive. ANd it decides the way the site looks I believe. I don't quite know how they did it. </p> <p>I suppose I could try and create my own theme out of sandbox, but I'd really like to tweak this one, and I'd be quite happy.</p> <p>Thanks </p> samboll on "need help tweaking a theme" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/220802#post-909648 Thu, 27 Nov 2008 19:12:19 +0000 samboll 909648@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I'm out of my league here but I would think take this bit<br /> <pre><code><div class="entry-meta"> <?php printf(__('<span class="entry-published">Posted by %1$s on <abbr class="published" title="%2$sT%3$s">%4$s at %5$s</abbr>.</span> <span class="cat-links">Filed under %6$s.</span> %7$s <span class="entry-rsslink">Follow any responses to this post with its <a href="%8$s" title="Comments RSS to %9$s" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">comments RSS</a> feed.</span>', 'barthelme'), barthelme_author_link(), get_the_time('Y-m-d'), get_the_time('H:i:sO'), get_the_time('l, F j, Y,'), get_the_time(), get_the_category_list(', '), get_the_tag_list('<span class="tag-links">Tagged ', ', ', '.</span>'), comments_rss(), wp_specialchars(get_the_title(), 'double') ) ?> <?php if (('open' == $post-> comment_status) && ('open' == $post->ping_status)) : ?> <span class="entry-interact"><?php printf(__('You can <a href="#respond" title="Post a comment">post a comment</a> or <a href="%s" rel="trackback" title="Trackback URL for your post">trackback</a> from your blog.', 'barthelme'), get_trackback_url()) ?></span> <?php elseif (!('open' == $post-> comment_status) && ('open' == $post->ping_status)) : ?> <span class="entry-interact"><?php printf(__('Comments are closed, but you can <a href="%s" rel="trackback" title="Trackback URL for your post">trackback</a> from your blog.', 'barthelme'), get_trackback_url()) ?></span> <?php elseif (('open' == $post-> comment_status) && !('open' == $post->ping_status)) : ?> <span class="entry-interact"><?php printf(__('You can <a href="#respond" title="Post a comment">post a comment</a>, but trackbacks are closed.', 'barthelme')) ?></span> <?php elseif (!('open' == $post-> comment_status) && !('open' == $post->ping_status)) : ?> <span class="entry-interact"><?php _e('Both comments and trackbacks are currently closed.', 'barthelme') ?></span> <?php endif; ?> </div></code></pre> <p>and move it below the loop<br /> <code></code><br /> right after that</p> <p>notice you have 2 closing <code><div></code>'s - just grab the 1st</p> <p>hope that works </p> soundwolf.net on "need help tweaking a theme" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/220802#post-909628 Thu, 27 Nov 2008 18:54:41 +0000 soundwolf.net 909628@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi, Thank you for that.

It is very slick, clean, and minimal and I'm totally chillin with it. Anyways, as you are probably aware... For those of us who don't code, css tweaks, can be difficult. I'd like to make a tweak, and I'd love advice and thoughts, on how to do it. If you know css style sheets like the back of your hand, two minutes of your time would make a world of difference to me.</p> <p>Here is a download link to the style sheet I'm using:</p> <p><em>( afaik! i am using a gpl or a gnu licensed theme. i should be able to distribute this file freely. if anybody thinks that is not the case, send a pm )</em></p> <p><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/4e03r9eryh" rel="nofollow">http://www.box.net/shared/4e03r9eryh</a></p> <p>Here are some visual helpers....</p> <p><a href="http://soundwolf.net/want2tweakthis/a1.jpg">photo 1</a></p> <p><a href="http://soundwolf.net/want2tweakthis/a2.jpg">photo 2</a></p> <p><a href="http://soundwolf.net/want2tweakthis/a3.jpg">photo 3</a><br /> As you can see in the photos above, there is meta information on the side of my blog posts, date, author, comment and permalink. </p> <p><a href="http://soundwolf.net/want2tweakthis/a4.jpg">photo 4</a></p> <p>I'd like to move this meta-info to below my posts, as seen in the above photo.</p> <p>I know this can be done, via the style sheet, and if you are a css wiz, who can spare two moments. I'd be much obliged. </p>
