In reply to: can’t fix css problemYour theme width is 900px;
Your content width is 600px with 10px padding; your sidebar is 260px width with 10px padding. The “older” IE box models do not calculate those numbers correctly … try reducing the padding in the
#rightcol.PS: The site looks fine in IE8 but “breaks” under compatibility mode.

In reply to: post comment as adminThis would generally be a theme dependent issue. There are at least a few common methods to identify the theme “admin” using specific CSS properties.

In reply to: Page Template that displays posts with specific tag?This page will give you a much better start: http://codex.wordpress.org/Tag_Templates
You can generally start by making a copy of your index.php or archive.php as a base then work from there making your edits to display your “tag” page as you want.

In reply to: I want the time I posted something to show upYou could try these edits (Make backups first!):
index.php, single.php for line 16:
<span class="category">Published in <?php the_category(', ') ?></span><span class="time"> on <?php the_time(); ?></span></div>That should get you looking in the direction you want to go … changing line 16 is just a suggestion, where you want the time to appear is your choice.

In reply to: Blog post Image breaking layout<div style="clear:both"></div>Add the above code into the_Loop (using the example from the above link) just before this bit of code:

In reply to: how to change background color on INDIVIDUAL posts?I would suggest a simple edit (and suggest perhaps submit it back to the theme author for future updates):
Add the
body_class()function into the header.php file … see this page for more details: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/body_classOnce added the theme will generate post/page specific CSS elements you can then address in your stylesheet.

In reply to: Uploading Images & theme file locationThe location of your theme files are generally found under the main WordPress installation folder: ..\wp-content\themes\<your-theme>\
Uploading can usually be done with most any FTP program, or possibly via the control panel of your domain hosting service.

In reply to: Blog post Image breaking layoutIt appears you image is being “floated” to the left (or right, as the case may be) which is a common CSS style in themes.
A possible fix is to put a “clear:both” div just before the end of the_loop.
