In reply to: Header images are “off”It is because of the header div height. You could add
#top { height: 165px; }to your stylesheet and the whole image will be clickable, but it will also push your main content down by about 50px. Your theme wasn’t built with having a large header in mind.
If you need it to be clickable and conserve the styling, I recommend you consult a developer to change it for you.
PS the nav still looks buggered in IE7.

In reply to: Going Tumblog-esque on my WordPressAlthough… if you already have years worth of posts like you mentioned, this can be quite the arduous task…

In reply to: Going Tumblog-esque on my WordPressCustom Post Types ftw π
In my opinion, this gives you more control and delineates the need to assign a custom field each time you post. I know it only takes 2 seconds, but this is just the kind of control that Custom Post Types offer. JMHO.

In reply to: Where these classes are located?A link would be super helpful – I could then pinpoint the stylesheet that references these classes π

In reply to: Header images are “off”Okay, the position: relative does not need to be on the UL.
See if this works:
ul#front_menu { float:left; position:absolute; text-transform:uppercase; top:68px;And add
position: relative;
to your #header div after the height on 38 of your stylesheet.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Header images are “off”Yeah, I just had a look at it in IE. It looks fine in FF, but IE… not so much. I personally think IE needs to die a slow, painful death π Although it’s difficult to tell when I can’t make any changes to the CSS in IE, I will have another look

In reply to: WordPress 3.0 database upgrade timeoutMaybe this plugin would work for you?

From what I understand, it essentially modifies the
$response = wp_remote_get($url, array(βtimeoutβ => 30));line in includes/file.php to a higher number.Good luck!

In reply to: How to style page parent menuHave a look at this thread – the author of the last post seems to have a solution for this.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Header images are “off”In your style.css line 57, try changing
ul#front_menu { float:left; position:relative; text-transform:uppercase; top:-4px; }to
ul#front_menu { float:left; position:relative; text-transform:uppercase; top:-5px; }Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Where these classes are located?I think what jrav001 is saying is that you can add these classes to your default stylesheet if you want to manipulate the way they are displaying via CSS.

In reply to: “Comments are closed” in the classic themeIf you have disabled comments on all posts, open single.php and remove
<?php comments_template(); ?>from the template file.There is a great tut here: http://www.lancelhoff.com/remove-comments-are-closed-text-from-posts/

In reply to: Adding Gravatar to commentsFor WordPress 2.5+, you could add this to your comments loop in your comments.php file
<?php if(function_exists('get_avatar')) { echo get_avatar($comment, '50'); } ?>
and style it with CSS to float left.For versions below 2.5, there is a plugin to add support: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-gravatar/
but I have never used it.Check out the Codex on using Gravatars:

In reply to: how to change the post width for my blogIn your stylesheet.
You may want to find someone experienced with CSS and themeing to help you out, as it is easy to royally mess things up when you are in the code and you don’t know what you are looking at π

In reply to: how to change the post width for my blogIf you remove your left sidebar, you can change the width of your #index div to about 740px. This will give you the width you are looking for. The issue is, though, that the background of your theme uses images to give the illusion of equalized columns, so it won’t look very good. You could try giving the #index div a solid color background. You would also need to give your #post .post-inner class the same background. Even then you are left with some weirdness on the righthand side due to the background image on the second sidebar.
In my humble opinion, I like the way your front page is laid out. It is unique and has that “gamer” feel to it.
Hope this helps π
