In reply to: Theme won't load via FTPHello,
Here is a follow up using the FTP through my wordpress site.
This is the error message I get when I tried to do it through wordpress.
“GreenPoint Milanda 1.4
Downloading install package from http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/greenpoint-milanda.1.4.zip…
Unpacking the package…
Could not create directory. /joelgoodman.us/wp-content/upgrade”
Hope this clarifies the problem.

In reply to: Theme won't load via FTPHello,
My site is joelgoodmn.us
I used the FTP because that was recommended. (I do FTP’s all day long for my sites – filezilla)
I clicked the download button on wordpress and it landed o my personal machine in two seconds.
When you suggest “through” wordpress and compressing the file – exactly what procedures are you referring to?
Sorry for the confusion.
I am wondering – my wordpress came with the 2010 theme already installed.
I was hesitant to remove it until I had another theme present.
Do I need to remove the existing theme prior to the upload?
Also, my current theme is installed in the root directory directly to “wp-contents/themes”. It does not have an intervening folder called “public_html”
“….if WordPress is installed in your web-root folder you would navigate to “public_html/wp-content/themes”.
Respectfully,
Dorian

You’re welcome. Had no idea – just supos’d –
By making the suggestion, I just learned something about WordPress and how I can use my knowledge of CSS to modify my own WP site; which I will be doing ere’ long.
BTW – if you look at the CSS style page – you’ll see another CSS style element for “product” and another for “site-logo”(?) I use those as containers to hold the “product image and the “title” (actually “text” – just a holdover name from a previous use)
The extra div is really not needed in most cases – as I find that “p” elements work fie on their own most of the time.

In reply to: Absolute Basics – Choosing A Theme ????Thank you,
At the point of being redundant, I am going to assume, then, that the structure of the WordPress underlying PHP is such that once a layout has the general format that is desired, through the use of CSS styling and some bit of HTML, the actual dimensions of the “containers” (columns, etc) can be modified; that being said, – if the general layout does not conform to a particular format (number of columns, how they’re located, etc) – then rearranging the layout would be a major PHP undertaking?
So, I’m off to search for 3 column themes.
I have just seen that both “sizable” and “fixed” dimensions are available.
Am I limited to “sizable dimemsions”?

Thanks for the information.

In reply to: Custom Menu stylingHi,
Hope this helps a bit. Not sure if this is what you are looking for.I haven’t finished locating the “title” and re-scripting it, but it shows what exist now.
You can go to “quiltronpress.com” and with FF view the source and then click the style link to the CSS
Below: The “header-right” info contains a CSS link, which, although I know nothing of WordPage yet, I imagine the link would bring up an image if it contains an image link.
#title-right{
position:absolute;
top:155px;
right:10px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss, “SunSans Regular”; “sans serif”; color: # #F85403;
font-weight:900;
font-size: .7em;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: blink;
vertical-align:text-middle;
padding-left: 0px;

}#header-right {
