Hi,

I’ve tried going through these steps as best I could (adding the code …

#right_sidebar hr {
Height: 1px;
width: 80%;
color: #dddddd;
background-color: #dddddd;
}

… to the style sheet (style.css) in the /*—:[ sidebar styles ]:—*/
section (that’s the closest thing I could find to the description given).

I then went and added <hr></hr> to the sidebar section, but … there is still no change.

I had no idea this was so difficult!

Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Hi again mechx1 –

A couple of issues: one, when I tried to place the underneath <script type=”text/javascript”><!– the adsense ads vanished. I placed it above that code, and they reappeared. Is that OK?

Secondly, I can’t find the exact code you mention in the stylesheet (style.css) and it’s not in the custom.css. What I did find in the style.css is this:

#right_bar { padding: 0 0 0 10px; }

… but that’s the closest thing to what you mention. Is it supposed to look exactly like this:

#right_sidebar {
<style stuff>
}

… because I can’t find anything like it. Could it be somewhere else?

Grateful for your help. Thanks.

I didn’t replace the whole .htaccess file because there is already code in there to do with my permalinks … something about migrating from Blogger to WordPress, which affected my permalinks … as you can see I don’t know what I’m talking about, I just followed set instructions and it solved the problem at the time!

So, is the feed redirect code the only thing supposed to be in the .htaccess file, otherwise it won’t work??

Thank you so much.

So – if I install this, will my feeds redirect automatically, i.e. those readers who are already subscribed will continue to receive feeds from this new site??

Just speak to me as you would to a child … 🙂

Yes, I think so. 🙂

I’ll just have to take it step by step and I’m sure I’ll work it out. Just so busy right now but will have to carve out some time to work on this.

Thank you!

Thanks haochi. I knew it had to be simple. 🙂

However, what I’d like to do now is to create excerpts in all the posts I have already imported from my other blog (they seem really long with the new template) … and then, in future, be able to choose if and when I add the ‘read more’ tag. Is there any way to do that?

Thanks again –

Thanks boober. That worked.

The problem with the widget was that I wanted the blogroll on the left sidebar … when I added the widget there it just added another blogroll, exactly the same as on the right.

However, it’s fixed now. Many thanks.

Right, of course. I’ll try that. Thank you.
