In reply to: Correct code to support site search in WP 1.5The code to the categories pulldown is:
<li class="categories"><?php _e('Categories:');Ê?>
<ul>
<li>
<form
action="<?php echo $PHP_SELFÊ?>" method="get"><?php dropdown_cats();Ê?><input
name="submit" value="view" type="submit"></form>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
Both return an error “The requested URL /< was not found on this server.”Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Category/Date heading on Very Simple themeGetting rid of those extraneous tags seems to have done the trick but I can’t figure out where to stick in the script provided in order to make the navigation directions turn up at the top of the page – reintroducing them causes the same problem to reappear… Guess I will give up on that for the time being!

In reply to: Category/Date heading on Very Simple theme(The site in question is http://blog.org/wp/ by the way – and the page that emerges (in its entirety) is <html><body></body></html>

In reply to: Category/Date heading on Very Simple themeWell there isn’t a <div class=”main”> – I tried putting something like the above in at <div class=”content> – above the existing line:
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?><?php the_date(”,'<div class=”dateStamp”>’,'</div>’); ?>And the page went completely blank! Worse, I backed up the wrong file so I couldn’t roll back the changes and when I tried removing the changes I made manually I still get a blank page. Yikes!

In reply to: Category/Date heading on Very Simple themeOK – but Very Simple has no archive or archives.php files as standard. What do I do to make the archives be changed in just that way and no other? Make a copy of index.php with the new header and call it archive.php? That would surely be too easy 😉

In reply to: “Very Simple” theme – help fix formattingBy the way Dissurion – I would like to give you a thank you link on my blog when done – is there a URL I can link to your nickname?

In reply to: “Very Simple” theme – help fix formattingLooks fine now – can you help with the category and date templates?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: “Very Simple” theme – help fix formattingNot sure what you mean, Root. My link list is already long but it is relatively static (I might add or subtract two or three items…) Which menu are you talking about?

In reply to: “Very Simple” theme – help fix formattingGreat help once again. As far as I can tell after some additional tinkering using your comments as a guide blog.org looks as near as possible to what I would like it to look. Could you just take a quick look to make sure there isn’t something hidden that would mess things up behind the scenes?
And I would like all of my category and date archive views to have just under the main header but before the date of the first entry a prominent indication saying:
You are browsing [Category/Date] – <link to home>Back to Home
I will doubtless think of other things as I go on but with that done I am off to an excellent start!

In reply to: “Very Simple” theme – help fix formattingWow! I’m super-grateful for that Internet gift economy thang! As you can see I changed things a little from what you gave me because I wanted a small margin on the L and R of the page and I wanted the sidebar to be a little wider, so I made
.wrapper {
width: 90%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}and
.content {
width: 70%;
}Unfortunately as you can see this doesn’t quite do what I wanted – I would like the large gutter between content and sidebar to shrink to about 1/4″
Then could you tell me how to make my main banner text white and the headlines and datestamps bold? And let me know where I can add in the static content to my sidebar?
You are in line for major thanks from my blog when we’re done!
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: “Very Simple” theme – help fix formattingI guess I would like to see the title centred and running across the whole page width (perhaps against a light blue background?)
While I think about it I would prefer the headlines to be bold rather than lighter than the body text.
Thanks for responding so quickly – I would have responded myself sooner but Bloglines didn’t seem to pick up the update to this RSS feed!

In reply to: email notification with digest and comments?I would suggest rather than email notification when any blog post gets commented on there be a way to send email when a specific blog post gets commented on so people can monitor their favourite discussions on a blog. Something like this:
