Anyone?
I’ve been looking at the margins in the css and haven’t got a clue. I think I might be better off picking a whole new theme, but keeping the fonts and colours because they’re part of my “brand” ?
EDIT: I just realized some of the changes you want require editing PHP files so you will need to create a child-theme.
For the margins, its actually padding that your looking for, I think. Try this.
#page {
padding: 0 3.6em;
}
For the link color and entry title:
.entry-title, a {
color: #00adf7 !important;
}
Ok, I’ve tried creating a child theme. The CSS is like this at the moment:
/*
Theme Name: Minimalizine Child
Theme URI: http://peterchamberlaincann.co.uk
Author: Rizqy Hidayat/Peter Chamberlain Cann
Author URI: http://hirizh.name/
Template: Minimalizine
Version: 1.0.0
Tags: gray, light, two-columns, custom-menu, featured-images, fixed-width, custom-background, theme-options, threaded-comments, translation-ready
Text Domain: minimalizine-child
*/
@import url("../minimalizine/style.css");
/* =Theme customization starts here
But I get “The parent theme is missing” under Broken Themes in the dashboard. The child theme is located in public_html/wp-content/themes/minimalizine-child and the parent is public_html/wp-content/themes/minimalizine.
Also, what should I do with my WordPress.com site?
I imported all the posts and images from .com to .org. If I delete everything from .com, will that erase the content from .org as well?
Change: Template: Minimalizine
to:
Template: minimalizine
If I delete everything from .com, will that erase the content from .org as well?
No – the 2 sites are completely separate.
Ok great, I will try that.
It’s not possible to transfer over followers/stats from .com is it?
Yes, it is but we can’t do that for you here. You7 would need to contact the folks over at wordpress.com: http://en.forums.wordpress.com/
Ok, I’ll try and get that sorted once I’ve made all the changes.
The big one I’d love to sort is the spacing. On .com, everything was nicely spaced out, whereas it’s more cramped on .org.
Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS troubleshooting. Or use whatever developer tool is available in your web browser.

I’ll have to change the background colour to see if the margins worked cos it reset to white, but what should entry-title have done?

Ok thanks. I’ve dabbled with it in the past.
Ok, I’ve found that part of the stylesheet needs to be changed to this:
#page {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F5F5F5;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 3.6em;
width: 720px;
}
But how do I change that using the child theme? I copied that into the child css and it didn’t do anything.
I ended up downloading the style.css from Minimalizine and making my changes to the one in use. If something goes wrong, I’ll just replace it with the downloaded one.
Got it like this at the moment http://www.peterchamberlaincann.co.uk
How can I get the grey menu borders to stretch across the whole column?
Ah, done the borders now… it’s shaping up nicely!
