In reply to: Doing it my way, or am I misleaded?Yeah, get a good understanding of the loop and you can do whatever you want to with the aid of mod_rewrite. Just save a copy of the basic index.php for your records. Lord knows that most peoples WP install is hacked up like an axe murder site. Keep in mind though that it makes it hard to upgrade in the future.

In reply to: website feedback.It all seems to display correctly for me (Firefox .9/Win).
No, CSS does by no means work the same on all browsers. Many browsers render things differently, and that is part of what makes CSS difficult.
CSS does, however, render faster, save bandwidth, improve usability, ease updating, increase branding and much more. Some day, when all browsers follow standards, it will look the same in every browser, until them, there are some minor and major differences.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Help with layoutTry validating your HTML. Valid code is MUCH easier to debug.

In reply to: My WordPress Blog…It looks better with the CC moved, but the search box is still the most prominent item on the page (have you read about eye movements on websites yet? research shows that location is the most important on the site– do you want to tell the reader that search is the most important? if so, leave it.)

In reply to: My WordPress Blog…I enjoy your layout and unique clean style. I do have a reservation though: your CC and search section seems very out of place where it is. Perhaps bringing it into a horizontal bar above/below the logo would help?

In reply to: review request: danbowling.comMadsen– That is a firefox rendering bug that only occurs when the system is taxed as far as I can tell. When I scroll past it and back up, it fills itself in. I have no clue what to do to fix that kind of a problem, I highly doubt it is in my code.
Anyone else have an opinion on the custom contextual menu? Personaly I thought it was kind of tacky in *most* instances, but I am willing to explore it if it helps the user experience.Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: review request: danbowling.comMadsen– Hmm… adding in descriptions is a good option. I originally did, but removed them to increase simplicity of design. Now, I feel I am forced to write good titles for my posts (and the benefit of google). Do you think I should still include descriptions there? Perhaps as a contextual menu similar to the ones at binarybonsai.com?
alphaoide– Thank you much. I do appreciate the complements, but I can grow as a designer from other types of feedback, so I wasn’t quite fishing for compliments (but they are very much welcomed 😉Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Link to Nicer ArchivesAh, I have no clue how I didn’t figure that out. I was using a single quote.
Here is what I did to modify, for anyone interested:
} elseif ('category' == $orderby) {
$thiscategory = $category_name;
if ($thiscategory != $previous) {
//Original Code: $output .= ''.get_catname($thiscategory).'';
$output .= ''.''.get_catname($thiscategory).'';
}
$previous = $thiscategory;
