In reply to: am i the only person who doesn’t like the concept of widgets?you can put stuff in your sidebar out side of the if function exists bit. for example, always display a certain search box using a php call, but because it is outside the endif, it displays even with widgets activated.
im not too keen on them though, just because their XHTML doesnt always validate, things in the original download like no
<ul>start tags etc. i think they’re due for a re-release though, so maybe increased functionality.but dont forget that they are designed so that people dont even need to know how to edit their php files.

In reply to: Gravatars2 – only default gravatar?i think it sometimes takes a while for the image to propagate through the net. ie, if you only just created your gravatar account and post straight away it might not show.
as for showing only sometimes…no idea

In reply to: out of line imageok, IE problem fixed, just edited out some css that i thought might have been the problem(comparison with another site with similar layout) then put it back and it looks ok. could someone just confirm that it is not just on my machine that it appears fixed in IE please?

In reply to: out of line imagei understand what you mean, and though that would be easy to do…right?! but for some reason, my right sidebar is ALWAYS coming below the content, whatever i do.
first off i moved the call for the second sidebar after the content div, but still in the page div. below content.
i then increased the size of the floater and page divs, in case they weren’t wide enough to fit the right sidebar in for some reason. still below content.
resized the floater and page divs and I tried putting the right sidebar in the content and floating it right. still below.
I know i should be able to work this out, and its probably really easy, but im stumped.
in basic terms i think my html should be like this…
<div id="header"> </div> <div id="main" <div id="floater"> <div id="page"> <div id="left-sidebar"> </div> <div id="content"> </div> <div id="right-sidebar"> </div> </div> --> for page </div> --> for floater </div> --> for main <div id="footer"> </div>im sure that should be right. but this still makes the right sidebar below the content, even when i change the css so there should be room, and ive tried floating them all left like you suggested, but nothing.

In reply to: wp_get_archives – Generates invalid XHTML?not sure, but my site is fully valid, and i use the following
<ul><li><h3>Archives</h3> <ul> <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?> </ul> </li></ul>so basically the list is a sub list of my whole sidebar.
so the problem might have been that your last sidebar item ended with
</li>and then you tried to open the<ul>straight after, but because it is a list within a list(i assume) it needs to be opened with<li>hope this points you in the right direction, otherwise use the validator with the show source option, and it will tell you where the error is, and give a description.

In reply to: out of line imageyour right, it is weird!
As for the IE prob…
my css is
#content {margin-left: 268px; width: 420px; }
the margin left is so it is passed the left sidebar.
What is really weird is that i have tried reducing its width to 100px, and it still doesnt go in between the sidebars.also tried with a reduced comments box, as this doesnt resize if the width of the content is less than it. still nothing.
i know it seems unlikely, but the way it looks, its like the content is in a div after the right sidebar, cause its perfectly in line, and not wrapping.
its really annoying!

In reply to: Uploading Template using Bluehostyou’ll be using the same admin panel on bluehost.com, but if it is a different wordpress blog, it’ll have a different admin panel specific to the new blog.
if you used fantastico to set it up, you’ll need to use the password and username you chose at that point
