   My log: http://www.ycn.net/wordpress

   I am so happy, I have come very far with by blog. Presently I have three problems:

   1) All of a sudden its no longer possible to edit ie the style.css by using the theme editor. I have to download locally, edit, and then upload by ftp. What has caused this?

   2) In my sidebar I am using widgets. The "text" widget is good but if you check the ext widget with subject "YCN (Young Chamber Network)" you will see that the following text is now spacing. Can I make some kind of formatting so that the text/pictures or whatever inside a text widget by aoutomatic is moved little to the left. How to attack the problem?

   3)The bottom of the page the background picture is not long enough. I would like to Straighten out the background picture so that it fills the hold webpage?

   4) Sorry 4 questions. How can I get the dotted line left of the sidebar to all the way down to the footer?

   2) I don't use widgets, but I think you can put CSS in the text widget, so you could make that text whatever Class you want. Hopefully someone who knows more about CSS than me, can explain it.

   3) I don't see this problem. The gradient background looks fine at the bottom, in Firefox.

   Wish I could be more help but I don't know on 1 and 4. On question 1, did you recently upgrade WP before this happened, or any other changes that might affect it? Sounds like something with Permissions on your server perhaps.

   Thanks for your reply.

   1) Still pending. I did not do any upgrade. Maybe DNS problem at webhost??

   2)I kind of do not like to put code inside the text box. It should be easy and quick to use. I like it to be preformated.

   3) This problem is resolved. I changed to a nother picture which is more long.

   4) Still remains. I have a complicated style.css and perhaps I should not pick left side of sidebar to be dotted. Maybe another sollution to attack the problem???

   As to Q4. The dotted line will stop at the bottom of the menu. To go further you would need to replace it with an image using the faux columns technique.

   Thanks root. That advice will help me stop trying using the "dotted" function further. Maybe I will search later how to use your techniche completely.

   My bog problem is now item 1) which remains. The wordpress refuse to edit any of my files. Is this a database related problem?

   When you say you can't edit that file, exactly what happens when you click on the Stylesheet link presented in the theme files column?

   Hello Michael.

   The problem remains.

   If I put some text into any document (ie the style sheet) using WP theme editor, and press "update file" the page behaves exactly as normal, reloads and in the top it says:"file edited successfully". But when you check the file, nothing changed :(

   Luckily it works editing locally and update by ftp.
