In reply to: DIY Thesis working with a Theme that I like..Hmm ok cool cool, those are just good guidelines and pieces of info that I can keep in mind as I leaf through all these sites, soon.
I’ve just hunted for Themes before, and it’s frustrating when I find one that I like, for aesthetics, a *LOT*; then come to find out it doesn’t support widgets. That just kills any sort of scalability or potential life for a Theme, in my opinion.
Thanks again for the help, Chip.

In reply to: DIY Thesis working with a Theme that I like..…whoa. Everything on http://wordpress.org/extend/themes added within the last 8-10 months is guaranteed to support Widgets? That’s awesome.
I guess with other non-wordpress.org commercial sites, I would just need to get in touch with original theme authors on a Theme-by-Theme basis and flat-out ask them, “Does this support widgets or not”, huh?

In reply to: DIY Thesis working with a Theme that I like..Chip,
Thanks for the insight, I appreciate it.
Now, if I could, I have a question about “normal” Themes:
Since I’m about to be shopping around for Themes, I really want to be able to tell if a Theme I am considering purchasing lets me use both
– plugins
– widgetsBut I know that some Themes do *not* allow this because they just were not developed to be able to. Like, one of my favorite Themes I have just simply does not have capabilities for widgets (Like when I go to “widgets” on it, it says, “No Sidebars Defined” in a little red error box at the top of my admin control panel). How can I make sure a Themes I am considering purchasing support both plugins and widgets?
Thanks.

In reply to: Making plugin fit to my page..?*bump*
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Contact form?Ok forget all of that.
I found “WP-Simple-Contact-Form-with-Captcha” at
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-simple-contact-form/installation/
And I just put it on my site, and this is what it looks like:
http://ktravisj.com/blog/perfectlyincomplete/contact
Is there any way I can decrease the size on this thing, so as to make it fit in my page better..? Or, at least sift it all to the right/ or hide the borders–anything??
Thanks.

Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Contact form?Thanks for the reply, I am looking at all of these now.
See, my website is
http://perfectlyincomplete.ktravisj.com
And at the top of that page, it’s that third, blue “Contact” button that I want to use to take a user to a page with a form on it.
Which of these form systems do you foresee as being easiest to fit into this kind of code? The first two snippets are the “Home” and “Archive” buttons–ignore those, those are fine:
<!-- Main Menu --> <div id="menu"> <a class="home pngf" href="<?php bloginfo("url"); ?>"> <span class="atit">HOME</span> <span class="ttxt">this blog's front page</span> <span class="shad"> </span> </a> <?php $page = get_page_by_title('Archive'); //use exact spelling $page_link = get_permalink($page->ID); ?> <!-- Link For Archives page --> <a class="arch pngf" href="<?php echo $page_link; ?>"> <span class="atit">ARCHIVE</span> <span class="ttxt">old from xanga, MySpace, etc</span> <span class="shad"> </span> </a> <a class="cont pngf" href="#"> <span class="atit">CONTACT</span> <span class="ttxt">to agree or disagree--or whatev</span> <span class="shad"> </span> </a>Which of the form you suggest would best go in that
<a class="cont pngf" href="#"> <span class="atit">CONTACT</span> <span class="ttxt">to agree or disagree--or whatev</span> <span class="shad"> </span> </a>section?
Thanks.

In reply to: Need help on some code:Works wonderfully~ Thank you, my friend.
Now can I ask another thing:
How does everyone recommend filling that “Contact” page? Like, is there any sort of third-party plugin I can get that will let me put a basic form in there, to capture user’s “Name”, “E-mail Address”, “Question/Comment”, and then a captcha? How could I go about doing that?
Thanks.

In reply to: Theme-browsing sites?I’ve figured out what it is what I’m looking for:
More of a “Paper-Made” theme, and then, I’d like some high-quality picture of a cup of coffee on there somewhere.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Theme-browsing sites?Thanks.
Can anyone recommend any other sites too? I do not necessarily want free ones, either–they can cost money/be professional/premium/commercial.
I am really looking for a nice one that shows, like, a coffee-shop design–preferably with a coffee cup or something of that nature on the pages’ design.
Thanks.

In reply to: Two questions, regarding newer version(s) of WP..Also:
In that case, if it isn’t a breach of this forums’ TOS–what are some theme-choosing websites y’all can recommend, where I can browse for different themes? I want to do some shopping 🙂 .
