 * Hello,
 * 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

 * Okay – Got it – I’ll start going through the themes and the “manual” – and I’m
   off and running.

 * Sarah2230,
 * 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.

 * 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”?
 * Dorian Jones
 * Thanks for the information.

 * Hi,
    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; z-index:5; }
 * #header-right {
    position:absolute; top:-15px; right:0px; width:125px; height:
   175px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration:none; background-image:url([http://quiltron.net/products/books/dance/dance_cover_115.jpg](http://quiltron.net/products/books/dance/dance_cover_115.jpg));
   background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position: 10px 20px; /* first value =
   horizontal, second = vertical */ z-index:4; }
