   Alright, I'm fairly new to the whole WordPress thing, so I just had a few questions:
   Here is my site, in case you need to make reference to it: http://www.mark.kremer.com

   1. How do I organize the tags at the top? I got them to be pages first, then posts, but how do I organizes the pages (ie Home first, then About, etc.)?

   2. Most of my thumbnails aren't showing up and I'm not really sure why

   3. This one might be a little more complicated... But I wanted to make the title of the page my signature, rather than just "Mark Kremer". I used the directions to change it, but didn't understand the part that said "Place the image in the images folder in the wpfolio folder within wordpress".
   Also, if it's at all possible, would I be able to have my signature kindof "overflow" onto the page?? For example, parts of the signature might go underneath the tabs across the top. That may or may not make any sense, sorry.

   Thats it for now! Thank you to anyone that helps me out!!!!

   1. Edit the template file for your menu bar and look for wp_list_pages. Try changing it to wp_list_pages('title_li&sort_column=menu_order'). Then use the Page Order within Admin/Pages/QuickEdit to sort your menu links into a specific order.

   2. You seem to have inserted links to images rather than thumbnails of the images themselves.

   3. FTP into your site and place the image in the wp-content/themes/wpfolio/images folder

   Mark, there's a widget to change the menu order.

   For the signature, you would need to create a header image. Not sure about the overflowing, but you could make it happen with some creative alterations to the CSS file.

   As far as the thumbnails, not sure either, but we are working on an improvement in an upcoming version.

   Ok, I got the order of the links all worked out, thank you for that

   But... I still can't figure out this thumbnail thing!!! It's weird because the thumbnails work for some posts, but most don't have any thumbnails. And I'm doing the exact same things on the ones that do and the ones that don't. Any other advice??? This is killing me

   the problem seems to be in this line of code:
   

   <div class="img-frame">
   <a>', posted on <?php the_time('Y') ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php echo
   get_thumb($post->ID); ?></a>

   It's like it cant "get thumb"...
   I really appreciate any help

   Mushon posted some code in our ticket system:

   http://dev.eyebeam.org/projects/wpfolio/ticket/293

   I've been meaning to roll it in and worked on adapting it recently, but have been too busy to troubleshoot. Would do it now, but I am getting a sketchy hotel internet connection in Berlin. If you can figure out how to incorporate (ideally using our repository on github http://github.com/slambert/WPFolio/tree) that would be super and would help with our next release.

   Let me know how it goes...

   Hey, sorry to bother you more in Berlin... but I made some progress!
   In the code in my previous post, I changed the get_thumb($post->ID);
   to
   get_thumb($post_ID);
   Once I did this, the thumbnails showed up, but it was the same thumbnail for each post...

   Thanks for sticking with me through all this

   WP2.9 has some code we're going to use. Should be out in a couple weeks. Then we'll have to roll it in.
