In reply to: Variable Length Sidebarok, what i have done is put the top as the #sidebar background, and the middle as the #sidebar ul background.
I tried to put the middle as the #sidebar background, but it then extended down below the bottom, if i put the bottom part as the #sidebar ul.
so i now somehow need to add on the bottom. I tried using a div at the end of my sidebar, but still within it, but nothing showed up, even if i gave that div a height and width.
so i tried using a span, but ive never used one before, so dont really no how to go about it, and i cant find any documentation on it.
how should i get the bottom attached?
thanks again

In reply to: How can I order my posts?firstly, its useful to know that posts are displayed in the order that they were written, whereas pages are displayed according to the order you specify.
if you want a post to stay at the top of you list of posts, use a sticky posts plugin, just do a google search for one.

In reply to: Changing Sidebar width and Content Area width.give us a link so we can see what you mean, its easier to help that way.
at a guess though, you need to have your content and menu wrapped in a larger container that has room for the expansion

In reply to: Post staying at the topdo you mean as a home page? you can set your home page in the options panel, but if you want a list of your posts on a page, with one staying at the top all the time, regardless of whether there is a newer one, search google for sticky posts.

In reply to: I need help with CSS and my sidebar (I think)in this case in your css,you have ‘#sidebar ul li a’ with display: block – remove that and the posts number will go to the same line as the name. only trouble is, all your double spacing of other links in the sidebar goes too, so you might want to give that particular list a unique id so it displays differently, but all the others are unchanged.

In reply to: WP Stats not working on multiple sitesI think <?php wp_footer(); ?> needs to go IN the footer.php file, before its closing div.

In reply to: I need help with CSS and my sidebar (I think)Yeah, it is css related. your #sidebar ul li has a display element in it that says inline, remove that line and it should all be fixed! 🙂

In reply to: How to link a page to the Mouse Over Menu Item?im not sure i follow, if you want to create a page, just do so as normal, then when it is listed using wp_list_pages or similar it will take you to that page when you click on it…and what is a mouse over menu? do you have a link to youe site that we could see, it might be easier to help then. 🙂

In reply to: Edit welcome emailif you’re still looking, edit the pluggable.php file in wp-includes.
look for these lines
$message = sprintf(__('Username: %s'), $user_login) . "\r\n"; $message .= sprintf(__('Password: %s'), $plaintext_pass) . "\r\n";and add another line so you have something like this
$message = sprintf(__('Welcome %s'), $user_login) . "\r\n"; $message .= "Congratulations!!! You have become a part of mydomain.com! blah blah Keep in touch. Cheers \r\n"; $message .= sprintf(__('Username: %s'), $user_login) . "\r\n"; $message .= sprintf(__('Password: %s'), $plaintext_pass) . "\r\n";
