modifying Default 1.5 theme

    Hi all,

    Like many right now, I’m trying to understand how a theme works.
    With Wp 1.2 I could change all I wanted in the css. Now, in header.php it says :

    ” /* BEGIN IMAGE CSS */
    /* To accomodate differing install paths of WordPress, images are referred only here,
    and not in the wp-layout.css file. If you prefer to use only CSS for colors and what
    not, then go right ahead and delete the following lines, and the image files. */ “

    What’s the best -safest-way to go: keeping or deleting these theme parameters? If deleting, does this mean the css has to be manually completed again in many places. Or what’s the trick?

    Thanks,
    Bert

    Does anyone have a guide to the difference between CSS and Themes? I’m not very savy, but learned CSS a few months ago when I started my blog. I’m figuring out themes USE css, but how are they the same, and how are they different? Thanks!

    Bert, the “BEGIN IMAGE CSS” in header.php of the default theme specifically controls how the images which compose the overall theme are laid out. The rest of the CSS exists in style.css.

    Elmsblog, CSS and Themes are not different, they’re partners. Think of the Theme as a newly-built house, and the CSS as the paint and decorations. All you’d ever want to know about working with themes can be found here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_Design_and_Layout

    Thanks for that link… I hate asking a question knowing the answer is out there. I appreciate the direction. Have a great weekend!
