My question doesn’t have anything to do with my theme (which is working just fine.) I gave the theme info because on forums sometimes people ask for that information.
I was hoping for some guidance about the best way to write the CSS to achieve my goal. I’ve thought of several ways, but I suspect they are more complicated than they need to be.

In reply to: Line is breaking after span tagThank you! I haven’t been using display:inline, but in this case it’s definitely needed.
Thanks! It also just occurred to me that spammers are really inflating my visit count! I don’t normally think about them, because Akismet catches their comments before they appear on my posts. But when I look at my posts, I see visitors from all over the world, and I know I don’t have a bunch of fans in, say, China, but I do get spam comments from there. Is there any way to exclude them? I may have to exclude entire countries, maybe based on language.
I just published a blog post yesterday, and it already shows 55 visitors. I just published one today TWO MINUTES AGO, and already there are two hits from Ukraine. (There are also a bunch of two-minute-old hits on my main page from the US, which I highly suspect are me, even though I’m logged in.)
I’m excluding administrator, editor and author. I wasn’t sure what “contributor” was; should I exclude it just in case?
I haven’t excluded any IP addresses. There are three suggested. Might those be mine?

In reply to: [Custom Contact Forms] New checkboxes not showing upI found the answer! It’s in this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-contact-forms-checkbox-not-appearing?replies=4
You need to create a field option FOR EACH CHECKBOX and attach it to the checkbox. I know, real confusing! Be careful of the text you specify, because I don’t think you can change it later; you’d have to create a new field option to do that. (I’m not entirely sure about this, but it seems to be the way it works.)
Chuck: I uninstalled your plugin because I wanted to try a few more things. Right now, using a new shortlink (that was one of the suggestions,) FB will pull images from my post, but NOT the first image in the post (which at this point is also all-new.)
I did check the debugger, and it’s not making any sense! While it does give me some warnings, it initially showed as the og:image the very image that it’s refusing to pull. When I went back to the debugger later, it now shows another image is the og:image.
Also, as the og:description it’s showing the meta description I specified, which it refuses to recognize if you try to post the link on Facebook.
The warnings I’m getting say that the og url, title, description and image should be “explicitly provided.” Since I always enter the full URL for my images, and I put the meta description and custom title tag in the correct area provided by WordPress/Thesis, I’m not sure how I can be more explicit.
I want to make sure I have this right: Using the debugger will clear the FB cache? If that’s true, I’m thinking I should reinstall your plugin, specify my important image as the official “post image,” run the debugger AGAIN, and see what happens.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Can Contact Form 7 be used to submit photos?My apologies — I thought I had been directed to the CF7 support forums! Well, if anyone knows the answer here, that would be great, too.

In reply to: CSS for a page: not workingApljdi — That definitely makes the most sense. I guess it didn’t occur to me because when you download a theme to hack or use a theme creator, it’s all about the blog and none of the instructions address additional pages. I’m just bumbling around trying to figure out how to do this!
So let’s make sure I have this right: I would put all the CSS code for the .image class in my theme stylesheet, and then in the html input box of my individual pages I would put <div class=”image”> and all specific image info for that page (src, caption.)

In reply to: CSS for a page: not workingOkay, did a fix: I entered the CSS into the WordPress editor in a different way (no spaces.) It’s now behaving the way it should.
I’m not sure why I see a link that says “Edit Entry.” Does anyone else see it, or just me because I’m logged into WordPress?

In reply to: CSS for a page: not workingPboosten — That’s what I had first, along with a right margin. Then I decided to get all fancy and add a caption.

In reply to: CSS for a page: not workingWhere are those html tags coming from? I guess the Word Press editor is putting them in. I see them if I view source, but in the Word Press editor they are not visible. I certainly didn’t put them there.
Okay, so how DO people customize their Pages?
