 * P.S. You might consider making the wrapper a tad smaller. I am on an older notebook,
   so sth like 1000px is all I can view on my screen.

 * 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. 🙂

 * The image needs to be uploaded to wp-content/themes/xxyourthemexx/images, I think.
   You can call it whatever you want, just use that name in the CSS. I usually use
   a png with a solid block right in the middle, set to the same width as your wrapper,
   and opaque shadows on the sides the best.
 * If it is only the shadow, the PNG needs to be only 5px high; my background uses
   a repeating pattern, that’s why it is higher. The CSS command as posted above
   will get you the repetition, and since it is opaque, it works on any background
   color – I usually fiddle with those color codes till I like the look.

 * 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.

 * The sidebar can be done with the coolest plugin ever, Dynamic Widgets. It lets
   you display different sidebar widgets depending on language/ browser/ page. post,
   etc. It what I use here: 11m2.de I have different sidebars depending on language,
   and in the blog a whole different set, and even a fun message on the blog for
   anyone with IE.
 * You would need to check if there is a corresponding dynamic header widget out
   there… there usually is.

 * 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 would usually suggest starting with a pre-made theme that has the basic layout
   and functionality that you want, then adjusting graphics, wrappers and CSS to
   make it your site.

 * 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.

 * Like my page? [http://www.11m2.de](http://www.11m2.de) That’s done by having 
   a partially transparent png in the background, which fits the content wrapper
   perfectly.

 * Okay, tried an all-new install on a different subdomain, same problem. Just wanted
   to make sure that none of my CSS modifications were causing the problem.
 * So something must have changed between the Crafty Cart demo version and what 
   is happening now… I am assuming it is somewhere in WPecom. Now just finding the
   setting…

 * In case anyone cares – solved the problem by creating a page called “home”, then
   using a redirect widget to have that link to the startpage.
