In reply to: Portfolio Slideshow Random OrderI’ve been tearing my hair out trying to eliminate another niggle; I don’t like the way the images acquire a border when the mouse is hovered over them, causing the image to ‘twitch’ (move sideways and down).
Can’t seem to sort this, whatever I try in the CSS file (plugin or theme).
Am I looking in the wrong place? What do I need to do to stop this effect, please?
With thanks.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Portfolio Slideshow Random OrderBrilliant! Thanks. I now have my site set up in the way I originally wanted it to appear, without any workarounds. No longer have any excuse for not updating the content!

In reply to: Force a line breakApologies, vtxyzzy, I was forgetting the editors in WordPress behave bizarrely! I’m using the default editor in WP3, and prefer to work in HTML mode, but it drives me nuts that if you switch to Visual, then back, all the
<p> </p>tags have disappeared, and the paragraph spacing is erratic.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: table border =0 but it still shows upYour site renders OK in Firefox 3.6.8.
By giving your table(s) a ‘class’ or ‘id’, then referencing that class or id in a stylesheet rule, you can make your table(s) appear one way, whereas any other tables will appear as per the other (default) table stylesheet rules. Removing all table css settings is a bit drastic – might have other, unforeseen consequences!Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: A Few Things I Need Help WithSave a copy of your .css file (say as .css.ori)
Look for #entry-author-info {
background:
etc
etc
etc
}
in the .css file.
Change it to
#entry-author-info {display: none;}
See what happens. If it screws up, delete the .css file, rename .css.ori back to .cssForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: table border =0 but it still shows upCan’t have more than one table with same ID; need to use ‘class’. Can have lots of tables with same ‘class’.

In reply to: linking to other pages.You need to use, in your ‘blog’ page, something like
<iframe src="http://tylertalkstrash.com" width="x" height="y">My Blog</iframe>Various other attributes can go in the opening tag: frameborder, hspace, vspace, scrolling, marginwidth, marginheight.

In reply to: Force a line breakHave you tried
<br />? That’s the standard way in HTML!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: table border =0 but it still shows upIf you put ‘class=”mystyle”‘ in your table tags, then
table .mystyle {border: 0px; (and other entries)}
in your css file, wouldn’t that do it?
Might need to experiment with where in the css file it comes, to prevent it being overridden by other table styles.
PS (1) Shouldn’t it be ‘0px’ in your HTML, if you want to keep it there?
PS (2) In my experience, to work with IE, you need to keep ‘cellspacing=”0px”‘ in the table tag; no way in CSS to make IE behave properly in that regard.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: BR tag does not workA ‘Break line’? Do you mean a br tag? None appears in the ‘source’ of the text in your page when viewed in a browser. Have you tried inserting one in the HTML code, using the HTML code editor?

In reply to: Proxy Connection IssueHave you tried not commenting username etc out, and just leaving them as is (ie ” (nul))?

In reply to: How to put an image in my headerI think you need to tinker with your css file – that probably controls what displays in the header. View the source of your page (as it appears in a browser), identify the class or id of tags relating to the header, then find them in the css file and try changing the image src etc.

In reply to: To much space between my header and my content!I have viewed the ‘Page Source’ of your site, VirtualityReiki; you have some very dodgy HTML in there:
</style>
<p></head></p>
<p><body></p>
<table width=”647″ height=”338″ border=”0″ cellpadding=”0″>
<tr>Two dummy paragraphs, containing inappropriate, orphaned tags. Always check your HTML (and CSS) is correctly coded, before troubleshooting layout issues.

In reply to: Moving a lined borderI think your site looks great, even with the line!
If you want to use tables, use ’em!
However, if you want to get rid of the lines, won’t something likeborder: 0px;
in your ‘style’ statements do the trick?
Cubecolour’s right though; tables for layout are so last year!
PS I think it’d look better with a new para between ‘news.’ and ‘Graduating …’

In reply to: Portfolio Slideshow Random OrderThanks, Dalton, I hadn’t realised I could ‘freshen up’ the order of appearance in that way, which, since it’s very easy to do, goes a long way to meeting my main concern (though random would be nice!).
