If you look in the files included with this theme you will find the ads have their own file: ads.php

This file is called on line 10 of the sidebar.php template file.

Adjust one or the other, or both, to your own needs.

Here is a line of code from one of my plugins (BNS Featured Category), I believe it does in a widget what you are describing you want for a template page:

query_posts( "cat=$cat_choice&posts_per_page=$show_count" );

How you write your custom template page may also define the variables.

Essentially $cat_choice in the sample is for the category; and ‘posts_per_page’ is the variable to set the amount of posts to show.

NB: Don’t forget to reset the query afterward.

Try changing to this (from above):

.leftsidebar {
  margin-top:-25px;
  padding:0 20px;
}

… and, around line 254 in style.css:

.middle_content {
  margin:-25px 0 0;
  padding:20px 30px 20px 20px;
}

See how that looks … the controlling property is ‘margin’ for this example.

Maybe use this link: http://phpdoc.wordpress.org/trunk/

Then review the code locally from a complete download. Although it may not have the same layout, search, and sample documentation found in the codex it has a great deal of potential.

I am not seeing a difference in any major browser on a PC … what are you expecting to see?

I see a dark brown background with a static image centered at the top of the screen. The rest of the theme scrolls on top of that while the image remains in place.

Have you tried using the default Text widget with <IMG> tags?

Try re-uploading the entire theme. You may only be dealing with the single.php template file but uploading that alone did not fix your issue.

Try this:

1. Change to the default theme.
2. Delete the theme that contains the bad single.php
3. Upload the entire theme
4. Re-activate it.
