Ty for the lightbox tip, I’ve used Simple Lightbox, it looks a lot better than before.

Does a lightbox plugin override all the attachment page links etc? I don’t need to worry about changing the image hyperlinks or anything?

The line spacing for images worked great!

For the footer, it has worked, but there’s still a gap underneath the text. And I just realised why, you wrote “margin-top” twice. 😛

These are the things I’m still trying to fix:

-Increasing the line spacing between images on the Portfolio page

-Change all the galleries so when an image is clicked, it loads on the same page with the background darkened out (not sure what the name of that is called, but it’s the way it’s set up on my .com site)

-Edit the footer text to “2013-2014” and make it so there is less of a gap above and below the text – not the 3.6em margin but the paragraph margins. I used

p {
    margin-bottom: 5px;
    margin-top: 5px;
}

which worked, but obviously that affects every paragraph, not just the footer.

-Add some social network buttons to the footer.

-In the Leave a Reply box, the two “Notify me” sentences are positioned in the wrong place, separate from the checkboxes, but I’m not sure where they’re meant to go. http://www.peterchamberlaincann.co.uk/blog/pendulum-rig/

-On the Portfolio page and in the WP dashboard when I’m editing a post, the text and images are stuck to the old 520px “margins”. In Safari, it displays Portfolio correctly (http://s3.postimg.org/y9z3bcxqr/wp1.png) but not in Firefox (http://s3.postimg.org/mjl5tz4yb/wp2.png) or IE. This is how it looks in the dashboard (http://s3.postimg.org/bmju57i6r/wp3.png).

-I want to keep the left sidebar for the Blog so it can display the post information etc. so how can I do this, do I need to set up a child for the child or what?

Finally, once I’ve done all that, the site doesn’t display properly on my phone, I guess cos I extended the main column from 520px to 720px, it’s just thrown everything off.

I thought I’d sorted the main content problem, where on the Portfolio page, the text and images were stuck to the old 520px “margins”.

It looks correct in Safari, but in Firefox, it looks the same as it does in the WP dashboard, with everything squashed into 520px aligned to the left.

To hide the left sidebar, I used

.entry-meta {
	display: none
}

but this has removed a 25px gap from above the “Welcome” etc. headings.

I’ve copied footer.php into the child folder, and removed the credits from the right, but the copyright text isn’t in the .php, where can I edit it?

Adjusting the line height for the entry content – this changes the size of the gap between lines of, but not the gap between images on separate lines. 🙁

The widget code worked, and I’ve put a lot of the changes back in!

For some reason, I can’t put three images on the same line on the Portfolio page, it’s as if it’s stuck to the old margins, yet it hasn’t done that on the other pages.

In the Leave a Reply box, the two “Notify me” sentences seem to be positioned in the wrong place, they’re all the way to the right, separate from the checkboxes.

How can I change the top and bottom of the main white column so that they don’t meet the edges of the browser, like how it is at the bottom of the .com site? http://peterchamberlaincann.wordpress.com/

Thanks.

The widgets didn’t get pushed down, that’s where they’re meant to be, at the bottom. But when I removed them in the dashboard, it replaced them with the ones that are there now. So I’ll try your code.

How do I write the edits for the child theme though? Do I just take each section I want to change and put it into the child? Just like you have done in your code, a random jumble of different sections from the parent that I want to change?

And which things will require editing the php files?
