 * Hi All,
 * This WP stuff is awesome. Starting to get a little comfortable with it now. Just
   wish I didn’t have to ask variants of the same one question, which is what file
   holds the code to do whatever.
 * Anyhow, to make it as easy as possible, I’ve included a sample image here:
 * [http://www.macliberals.com/temp/example.jpg](http://www.macliberals.com/temp/example.jpg)
 * I’m using 1.5 with the Manji2 theme. All is basically well, but I have three 
   questions:
 * 1. See the pink arrows? They all point at an area that (I believe) shares one
   color. I’m trying to figure out the name of that area so I can change the color.
   That’s it.
 * 2. See the blue arrow? Same thing. Want to change the color of the date. That’s
   it.
 * 3. This one is harder. See where it says “REVIEW: Pouring some sauce on the-“.
   Now: see how the wording is sitting on the boarder of the yellow? It’s too close.
   I want there to be a space there. Even better, a thin graphic ‘bar’ that appears
   above each new post entry.
 * In English: I need to know what page holds new posts in 1.5? That is, whenever
   a new story is posted, it automatically formats the title a certain way. Well
   I want to add to it an inserted image right above the title. I want this to autoformat
   each time I create a post.
 * Hoping this is all clear, and thanks for the assistance,
 * TOAO

 * Just to point out the “forbidden” thing: I went there and got a 403 Forbidden
   page too. Just go up in the site structure, to the previous directory, there 
   click on example.jpg and it loads fine. 🙂

 * I hate to suggest it’s a WP thing. I noticed that too. If you copy the address
   and drop it in a new browser, all set. (Unless it’s a FIREFOX .1 upgrade issue…
   nope, doesn’t work in Safari either…)

 * As I recall the CSS selector for your blue arrow is h3 with a span class of posted.

 * The class of .title is your post title. Add margin-top: 10px whatever.

 * And your sidebar is in a div with an id of sidebar or possibly container.

 * Thanks Root! I really appreciate it. I’ve contacted the developer of the theme
   and he told me something I needed to hear: learn more. LOL. You’ve got to understand,
   I’m like a guy inside a house fixing leaks or painting rooms, unaware of how 
   many rooms are in the house, what a house is, what town it’s in, etcetera…
 * So he suggested I download the developer tools (?) for Firefox which will give
   me more direct access to these things I’m tinkering with. Anyone know if that’s
   a specific tool set and/or where it is?
 * Also, along the same lines, and I ask these questions so that I won’t have to
   come back and ask silly questions: what I am using when I alter themes? I mean,
   are these ‘Dreamweaver’ files? PHP? Where on the web could I take a gander at
   the basics of this stuff, because when y’all say ‘div’ or ‘margin-top’ I have
   no idea what you’re referring to. XML? LOL~ clueless am I.
 * Thanks for these answers though…

 * Well Manji is a very fine theme so you are off to a good start. The Firefox web
   dev kit can be dowloaded from mozilla. WP files are php files. In turn they are
   written in xhtml with the php threaded thru the middle. Most theming is to be
   done in either xhtml therefore or the accompanying CSS file. There is no substitute
   for hard graft here and a good session on Google would get you started.

 * ROOT BEER:
 * Thanks for your help. Two observations:
 * 1. The title space adjustment sounded right, but oddly it moved the date deeper
   down instead of the title. LOL. Even worse:
 * 2. Sent these questions to the developer. He gave me good advice to learn more,
   but he neglected to tell me that the white space above the first post was a GIF
   and not a color assignment which EXPLAINS why I could have spent the rest of 
   my life looking for it~ LOL! I inserted my own gif the same sticky yello to create
   the illusion of some indents. Finally! ahh….
