 * Hi
 * I am new to wordpress.. I installed it and really like it. I only got one problem:
 * the theme i would like to use has a little bug, and my knowledge of css / php
   isn’t that good (yet)
 * the comments/posts appear like they are supposed to, but somehow the info above(
   I.e Posted by, Category and Comments) is somehow off balance..
 * here you can see…
 * anybody know where to change what to get it right?

 * Go to your style.css file and change the following:
 * `
    .entry div.entrymeta { text-decoration: none; margin: 0 15px 15px 0; padding:
   0; text-align: right; font-weight: normal; font-size: 9px; color: #ab0303; }
 * To this
 * **`.entrymeta {`**
    `text-decoration: none; margin: 0 15px 15px 0; padding: 0;
   text-align: right; font-weight: normal; font-size: 9px; color: #ab0303; }
 * This should fix it, however I don’t have Firefox at work so I can’t test it there.
   But I’m pretty sure it should be cross-browser consistent. Let me know if it 
   works.

 * brilliant!!! that did the trick!!!
 * However, I’ve got one more question:
 * Is it allowed to “borrow” somebody’s template and redo it into your own? Change
   graphics, colors and so on?

 * In general, yep. Just check the theme’s license first.

 * ok, I’ll check.
 * next issue:
 * If i click on comments when I’m not logged in: the error message “You must be
   logged in to post a comment” seems to be off aswell..
 * any ideas there?

 * Looking at your source I saw this:
 * `<h2 id="respond">Leave a Reply</h1>`
 * Should be:
 * `<h2 id="respond">Leave a Reply`**`</h2>`**
 * That should fix it. You’ll have to find it in your `.php` files. It should be
   in your `comments.php` file.

 * Here is another one:
 * `<h2 id="comments">One Response to “Hello world!”</h3>`
 * Should be:
 * `<h2 id="comments">One Response to “Hello world!”`**`</h2>`**

 * Sorry, but those code lines have nothing to do with the question.
    If the “you
   must be logged in…” thing appears on your blog – it means YOU did set it up in
   that way. admin > Options > General: Membership… see the boxes!

 * couldn’t find that one..
 * well, i think the problem is bigger than we thought. I deleted that blog entry,
   and now I get the message
 * Not found, Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.
 * this also is moved to the left…
 * So I think that everything is moved to the left….

 * @ Moshu
 * It’s not about the you must be logged in. It is about that all these messages
   are positioned too far to the left…
 * and thus don’t fit in the design

 * Sorry, I’ve misread your post.
    That’s just bad design.

 * Moshu,
 * The problem in question is why the text is aligned too far to the left. Not why
   it’s there. Please read the questions carefully.
 * bbrader,
 * Have you edited this theme much yourself?

 * Actually I tried some stuff, f**ked it up completely and did a fresh install.
   even dropped my whole database, so really started from scratch. So all the editing
   I did up to now is what you told me…
 * Maybe I should go for another theme then, eh…

 * Yeah, that’s what I recommend. It seems like the author of this theme needs to
   address some bugs and CSS/XHTML issues.
 * Here are a couple of themes to check out:
    [Hemingway](http://warpspire.com/hemingway/hemingway-for-wordpress)
   [Chaotic Soul](http://avalonstar.com/2006/03/22/introducing-chaoticsoul/)
 * Hemingway has white option, and Kyle Neath (the author) just had a contest for
   alternate styles of Hemingway. So there should be some more variety coming soon…
