In reply to: "leave a comment" field not appearingDo you have to ok comments? Are you being notified that comments have been left?
That may be so but it’s the form that lots of posts come in.
One problem remains, that of the code that blows the formatting away of a post that contains the following (or varieties):
<div id=”content”>
<div id=”article”>
<div>at the beginning of the text.
BYeah, it now looks much better.
PS: You have a typo in the footer, you’ve misspelled Anarcho.

Hi Arthur,
Just installed the new version and there’s a problem with the tagline, most of it is hidden behind an object of some kind.elsewise, I think the changes are a great improvement especially the additional options (which by the way, you seem to have to change, one at a time, then save, then reselect and then save, before they take effect).

In reply to: Why doesn't the UK version of WP work?Ok, I see what the problem is. Thanks, I’ll check my browser settings (Firefox). Too many fingers in the pie.

In reply to: Why doesn't the UK version of WP work?WPRanger:
I never said it acted like a spell checker, only that it should not underline UK versions of the word as if they’re spelt incorrectly. Otherwise what’s the point of a UK version if it doesn’t accept UK spelling?Esmi:
Well, for one edit, UK spelling was NOT underlined in red, in other words it accepted the UK version.PS: The original Macintosh screen had 72dpi (dots per inch), the same as standard printing measures, hence 12pt type was the same size on the screen as it was on the printed page (actually the pixels were not exactly square). This was the basis of the Mac as a graphic design tool.
However, the pixel size of my current screen is a fraction of 1/72nd of an inch, so although the type here appears to be small (around 8pt), it’s actually 12-13 pts, or even bigger.
Well each theme can interpret measurements differently, especially leading which can really change the way a piece looks. Even using a percentage basis depends on what your ‘default’ setting is.
The 1-7 refers to the Heading command in HTML, with one being the biggest and 7 being the smallest, but there are no font sizes involved, so if your theme modifies <h6> to be 4pt instead of 7pt or whatever then any text which contains the <h6> command will be changed by your theme.
If I use an article it will either have no set fonts or layout, just consisting of basic text or perhaps some basic html like <p>’s in which case, your theme settings will take precedence. But if my piece has lots of format settings in it, they’ll either overrride your theme settings or your theme will override them.
Case in point: your red ribbon doesn’t like being next to a <table> command, as your red ribbon is left-aligned so text runs around it and it forces all the contents of the container over to the right.
Or for example, your Bold Hover over links only works if the text isn’t already Bold. Ideally, an already bold link should go to normal when you hover over it.
Re font size: It’s a problem because different screen resolutions mean that absolute font size is kinda meaningless, hence 12pt on my HD screen looks like 10pt. I end up in using 12-14 point size for almost all type except heads.
Second, what about 1-7 HTML sizes? Again, it’s down to how your theme is constructed.
Well it just seems logical to me that the navigation links should come last and maybe centred or set apart from the body and any comments? I think the major issue here is does the layout present a coherent page to the reader? Especially if, like my site, my front page contains links to the full article, so where one ends and the next begins should be clear to the reader.
Sorry to pick your design apart over which you no doubt laboured intensely…
I’ve discovered another problem with your red ribbon. If there’s a table next to the ribbon, the ribbon forces the text over to the right, overlapping the sidebar.
Talking of layouts, I notice that if I have the navigation option checked then it appears BEFORE any comment to the post. surely, it should go below with the comment first?
