I know even less about flash than I know about php. 🙂

That needs to be in 1-2 PHP files. In my case, it is located in archive and single.php.

The code to call the post date looks like this:

archive.php
<?php /* If this is a daily archive */ } elseif (is_day()) { ?>
<?php _e(‘Archive for’,’lonelytree’); echo ‘ ‘;the_time(__(‘F jS, Y’,’lonelytree’)); ?>

single.php
<div class=”additional-meta”>
<?php _e(”, ‘lonelytree’); ?><?php the_time(‘l, j F, Y’) ?> <?php _e(”, ‘lonelytree’); ?> <?php edit_post_link(‘[edit post]’, ‘   ‘); ?>
</div>

Note that my template is mentioned in there… I have no clue how that needs to be adjusted for your site; I suck at PHP. 🙂

I am using the Dynamic Widgets plugin to determine which sidebars are displayed with which part of the site – so the blog looks different from the website. So far, it’s been my favorite plugin.

You have a plugin that let’s you exclude pages from the top navigation as well. The more I work with WP, the more I like it.

You need a fixed body width for that. I used the Lonely Tree template, then adjusted the wrapper width. This is the CSS for the background:

body {
background: url(images/bg2.png) repeat-y center;
background-color:#a4a4a4;
}

The background PNG is has a solid body in the middle (800px = wrapper), then shadow on the sides with opacity set to 20-40%. The shadow was done in Fireworks, with a linear gradient from right to left.

Does any of this make sense?

I might not be much help; but with most templates, where a section is placed within the page is not done in the CSS but in one of the PHP files. When I wanted to place my navigation underneath the header instead of above, I had to modify header.php, not the CSS.

The moz/ webkit additions are usually alternate CSS for different browsers, since each browser handles CSS a tad differently. Or in the case of IE, not at all.
