Weird. Maybe I've used my allotted "minutes" this month?!

Posted 7 years ago #Okay, it let me post this here. I'll just tack my question on here and hope someone stumbles onto it.
I'm at my wit's end. I'm creating a new design that implements a background image in the title (H3) and in the Link headings (ul li or ul ul, it doesn't seem to matter). It renders the way I want it to in IE6, but not in Firefox or Mozilla.
IE6, good looking sidebar:

Firefox/Mozilla, ugly sidebar:
http://www.webjones.org/temp/screenshot-liv-ff.jpg
Any ideas? The site is live here: http://www.webjones.org/wordpress/
Choose the Liv Tyler design and see what happens in Firefox. I guess you can download the stylesheet or do you need me to post snippets of it here? -

Posted 7 years ago #IE and FF implement the indents in list differently which they are entitled to. . It is best to set margin and padding to zero on everything and go from there.

Posted 7 years ago ##menu ul {
color: #000;
font-weight: bold;
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding:0; <-------------add that
text-transform: capitalize;
text-align: left;
}
Like Root says, you need to start there and work up I'm afraid. -

I totally recommend the 'computed styles' and 'topographic view' bookmarklets, along with the 'show blocks'.
Invaluable. -
Posted 7 years ago #Thanks! I'll see what happens. I may have to settle for removing the images on the menu and just having it on the title. But I don't like doing that because it will mean that I have lost the game and "it" (whatever "it" may be) has won.

Posted 7 years ago #Smooches to you both. You were right! It was in the UL UL! Now it renders properly in Moz, IE and Firefox!
Thanks again!

Do you have Chris Pederick's WebDev Toolbar for Firefox? It's a must-have! -

In the meantime, if you post and want it moving there, I'll try and do that. -

Posted 7 years ago ##rap {
margin: 30px 30px 30px 30px;
}
Should start you off. Vary each number to get the spacing you want - the are top - right - bottom - left -

Posted 7 years ago #Hey. I cannot post in Template & Design either, so I guess I'll just tack my question on the end here and hope it gets answered.
This is a pretty basic question, but it's been bugging me for a while.
I have been trying to set up a title image in my blog.
I've been putting standard html code in the index.php file:
<img src="../lizard.png" height="80" width="80" />
But I cannot get the image to display on the same line as the title.
I can get it to display above and below the title, and, in the process, move text all over the place at random, but I can't get it next to the blog title.
my blog is located at http://www.gecko.f2o.org/wordpress
(or you can just goto gecko.f2o.org and fallow the blog link.) -

Posted 7 years ago #Thats kinda what I had in mind, but not quite.
That method just removes the text and makes the whole background image clickable.
I already *have* a background image, and I want to put an image in the forground, right next to the title. I suppose I could edit the background image and just paste the image and text in where I want them, but that seems like such a roundabout way of doing things.
I know it can be done as I've seen it done with wordpress before.
btw, that site rocks. BOOKMARK'D -
Posted 7 years ago #Ah .. a bit like a banner ad placement maybe ?
Have a good read through this thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/?action=vthread&forum=3&topic=8267&page=1
And thanks for the compliment :) -
Posted 7 years ago #Wow...
I really don't understand most of what's going on there.
After reading though about 5 more times, I *think* I might be able to do it.
Right after the title thing in index.php I need to set up a new value-field-thing for the css to play with.
eg,
<div id="logo">
<img src="../lizard.png" height="80" width="80" />
</div>
and then use something like
#logo { float: right; margin 10px; }
in my css code.
I'm really new to all this stuff, so my first attempt probaly won't be pretty... -
Posted 7 years ago #That's pretty much it - look at the demo Root used, it's got the info in there, and if you get stuck, just shout :)
-
Posted 7 years ago #Cool!
My first attempt looked like crap, but on about my 12th attempt I figured it all out. This stuff ain't hard. It's sort of like a C header file that defines looks, not functions.
Thanks for your help!

Posted 7 years ago #Aww, I hope everything starts working again! Anyway, here's my question...
How can I incorporate my WordPress entries into my site? My WP stuff is listed under a folder within my domain, and I would like to show those entries by using < ? include ('wordpress/index.php') ?> on a page outside of the "/wordpress" directory. Is it possible for me to do that? When I try, it gives me parse errors. If anyone can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it! Hope I'm clear enough; thanks in advance! -

My question was this:
Is there a clearinghouse for wordpress themes?
Is there any central website I can go to that has a lot of wordpress templates that I can view and choose from? And from that point, simple instructions on how to install the new templates?
I have played around with the default settings in WordPress and now I'm ready to publish my new blog to the internet, but I want to change the style to something more of what I like. -
