The sociable icons all go down vertically at the end of each of my posts. How can I make them go horizontally? Is that an attribute of my theme or can I change that in my sociable settings?

Below are two lines of CSS to add to your stylesheet.
Your theme has this message at the bottom of its stylesheet. If you haven't yet created a custom stylesheet, follow these instructions and do it first. Then put the the two lines below in the new file. If you already have a custom stylesheet add the two lines to it.
!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE !!!!!!!!!!
If you need to make changes to this theme, create a new stylesheet in the wp-content folder then go to the 'Wordpress Admin > Settings > Adventure Journal' and add your new stylesheet under the 'Custom Stylesheet' section. This will prevent your changes from being overwritten when new versions of this theme is released.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!add to stylesheet
.sociable ul { margin-bottom: 30px; } .sociable li { float: left; } -
Posted 11 months ago #I'm sorry, I'm quite unfamiliar with CSS and have no idea what a stylesheet is or where it's located or how to create it. Can you walk me through each step? Thank you.

Posted 11 months ago #Actually, I just noticed that on certain pages of my website, it IS horizontal. It's just on my home page, at the bottom of posts that it's vertical. So I just went into the plugin's settings and unchecked "show on individual blog posts." So that should resolve the situation. Thanks so much.
However, can you just clarify what a stylesheet is and how/when I would use it in the future, just for my personal reference?

Hi
A really simple starting point:
http://webdesign.about.com/od/css/f/blfaqwhatiscss.htmAll WordPress themes use stylesheets to specify what everything on the site looks like. The WordPress editor is where you enter content. The stylesheet is where the theme tells the browser to display post text in this font and color and size, and headline text in that font and color and size. As well as every other bit of styling on the entire site.
The topic to look into is called CSS, Cascading Stylesheets. Its one of the foundations of modern web design.

Posted 11 months ago #I'm sorry, I know this has nothing to do with this post but here's the deal. I am trying to start a new thread and there is NOWHERE on the forums that show how to do that. I obviously started THIS thread and I have no idea how I did. I was just trying all kinds of things because there isn't a convenient link on the forums that says "start a new topic here." I just happen to still have the email notification with a link back to this thread when I got new responses, so maybe you can help me with this too??? I am completely flabbergasted that WordPress.org forums isn't better designed. There should be a big button or at least a clear link that says "start a new topic" along with "search topics." They should go together. But there's also nowhere I can find to give feedback. So can you help me?
