• Right now I’ve got a space between the meta content (posted under: / date / etc.) and the actual post content. I’d like to shrink that down or maybe even eliminate it. I’ve been tinkering with it a little but so far nothing has changed it.

  • What happens when you remove the br after the_meta?

    There’s a significant breakage right in the middle:
    #header{
    background: url(images/header_background.gif) no-repeat;
    <img class=”center”
    border-left: solid 1px #fff;
    margin: 0 0 0 350px;
    height: 200px;
    width: 600px;
    padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;}
    That’s not right I’m afraid ……
    The css to style for what you want is .storycontent, but I can’t get it to style properly with this in it ..
    Does that part of the CSS actually work properly ?

    Beel, are you talking about a br after the_meta in index.php? I’m having trouble finding that in my index.php but maybe I need to look some more.
    Podz, I’m afraid what you are seeing is due to my amateur coding capabilities. I sort of mess with things until I can get it to appear right… but in the process I’m sure I create a number of coding heresies wherever I go. I’m not sure what I should change in the above code you cited, but I’ll take your word for it that it’s messed up.

    I’ll help fix it 🙂
    When I view your page, I see no header image.
    If that is intentional, then just delete that part of the css *if* the header is not used elsewhere.
    If you want a header, and it’s not showing, that’s fixable.
    If you want a header and you see it, you may have it cached.

    I do see a header image… I’m not quite aware of what it means exactly to have it cached. I have seen it on many computers at home and at school. But maybe in other places it’s not showing up at all. I definitely want the header and I’ll appreciate your help fixing it too. 🙂

    I think you missed what he is asking. There is a header image there (switch to the other style). The space is between the_meta and storycontent in the post.

    Danithew, yes that is what I am talking about. It looks like you may have:
    <?php the_meta(); ?>

    </div>
    in your index file

    I did see it – that’s why I mentioned that the div to define is .storycontent, probably with margin-top: 0; or padding-top: 0; but when editing the CSS, I got wierd flashes of errors so I explored a little.
    Danithew – email me – I’ll whizz through your css if you want ?

    Podz, I’ll send you an email. I’d love to have your help with my css stuff. Thanks!

    .storycontent p {margin-top:0}

    Beel, thanks for that line of code. It solved that particular problem.
    Podz, I sent you an email at the addy listed in your profile and I got a delivery error message. Is that address correct?

    Heh-heh, read the addy 😉
