In reply to: silly silly question on adding line breakIt’s good practice to never use <p> tags to add space between text. Since your doctype is declared as HTML5 you should use
with no closing tag.If that doesn’t work you can add padding to your header tags that will let you better control the spacing.
example:
h1 { padding-bottom: 5px; }Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: blog excerpts helpThis is the template I’m using for the blog page:
<?php /* Template Name: category */ ?> <?php get_header(); ?> <!-- Begin #colLeft --> <div id="colLeft"> <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1> <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; $args= array( 'category_name' => 'Blog', // Change these category SLUGS to suit your use. 'paged' => $paged ); query_posts($args); if( have_posts() ) :?> <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <div class="postItem"> <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2> <div class="meta"> <?php the_time('M j, Y') ?> // by <span class="author"><?php the_author_link(); ?></span> // <?php the_category(', ') ?> // <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment ', '% Comments'); ?> </div><!-- END META --> <?php the_excerpt() ?> <div class="postTags"><?php the_tags(); ?></div> <?php comments_template(); ?> </div><!-- END POST TAGS --> <?php comments_template(); ?> </div><!-- END OF POST ITEM --> <?php endwhile; else: ?> <p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p> <?php endif; ?> </div><!-- END LEFT COL --> <div id="colRight"></div> <?php get_sidebar(); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?>Thanks for checking it

In reply to: blog excerpts helpAll right, I got it working but the formatting is all messed up, posts are appearing outside of the left column. Any idea why that would be?

In reply to: blog excerpts helpI had already created a page template. I added and tweaked the code in the codex referenced “A page of posts” but it’s still not showing anything.

In reply to: blog excerpts helpIf anyone is reading this…I have partially solved the problem but still would like to know if what I want to achieve is possible.
I made a category “blog” that is representing what I want to show up as the blog page. http://danielpaymar.com/category/blog
basically i want to figure out how I can eliminate having to have the directory going through “category” to get to the main blog page for my site.

In reply to: Dot appearing before widgetCool. Glad you got it worked out.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Dot appearing before widgetStrange. That should have worked.
you could try
.widgets_on_page ul { list-style: none; }if that doesn’t work I’m out of ideas.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Dot appearing before widget…on your main style.css not the plugin.

In reply to: Dot appearing before widgetfunky. how about changing this to none instead of disk, line 1099:
.entry ul li { list-style: disc inside none; }that fixed it on my screen.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Dot appearing before widgetOkay…try finding this, it should be on line 1097 of your style.css
.entry ul {margin: 0 0 25px 10px;}and change it to
.entry ul { margin: 0 0 25px 10px; style-type: none; }Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Dot appearing before widgetYou need to add in your style sheet
ul { list-style: none; }That will remove bullets from your unordered lists. However if you want bullets on certain lists you will have to start assigning classes.
