all this is a bit silly really… this credit-based circle-jerk gets a little annoying at times, especially in the footer of every page.

I vote to stick your credits on the about page, and anyone who doesn’t like it can stop making GPL or CC themes.

footer spam is just that.

it comes down to whether you’re a glory whore or not… if you’re making themes for the love and the linkbacks, a link on the about page is enough – on the other hand, if you want one on each page in the footer, then you’re just plain greedy, as no matter how much effort you put into a theme, there’s always more effort in the content.

(and if there isn’t, then you’re doing it wrong).

Back when I did this more often, I kept an html file on my desktop with some ‘new window’ javascript in it, which launched a fixed height/width 1024×768 or 8×6 window that I could play with…

it’s a pain in the arse… everyone should use the resolution I’m using :P~~

consider editing the header.php in your theme – looking for wp_list_pages, and adding your link after that with similar tags surrounding it.

if you want to post that area of your theme (the general vicinity of wp_list_pages) we can be a bit more specific about what other HTML you may or may not require.

try it yourself though, it’s faily easy and you should be able to get something workable with a little trial and error.

just to weigh in on the widescreen thing – I’ve been a widescreen user since widescreens were so unusual only 2 video cards supported them.

I can quite safely say that most widescreen users don’t use maximised windows when browsing – but even so, it’s always better to use a centered fixed-width layout, than to do like the wordpress 2.5 admin panel, and push your constrained design to the left.

for shame wordpress gurus.

Both the page and the CSS validate, so there’s nothing technically wrong with them – yet the content isn’t visible in IE7.

Disappointing for IE7… annoying for you.

I would suggest maybe removing the wildcard (*) definition, as I simply can’t see anything wrong with the rest of it, so I wonder if IE7 is choking on that.

I can’t be of much help without trial and error, except to say that it’s definitely in the CSS, not the HTML – cos the page with the stylesheet ignored, renders perfectly well.

I would try just making a new stylesheet and pasting each definition into it one by one, until you find the one that breaks it.

in the mean time, please for the love of all things holy… change the first line of your text that reads:

“Here Is A Shocker For The Entrepreneur To Be’s”

to:

“Here is a Shocker for the Entrepreneurs-to-Be”

Cheers 🙂

I swear when reading your last post, I actually heard a 1930s black and white horror-movie style scream. That was awesome, do it again 🙂

you’ve been creative here, with your template code, but you’re doing it wrong, basically.

check out this page… use query_posts to do your exclusions, using that will respect your posts-per-page.

the problem with this sort of thing is that when using plugins, themes, and free tools which don’t have an easy and quick method to throw $10 at it to make the credit go away (nicely)… is that you end up with a site that has a small paragraph in the footer giving away credit to everyone but you.

this site powered by wordpress, pluginX, pluginY, theme design by Someone, hosted by Someone Else… er yeah, but the content is all me, I swear… er.. except for some of the clipart, oh and that stuff I pasted from your site.

I think that anyone who wants credit should also add an easy way to compensate them if you simply don’t want to give that credit because it hurts your professional credibility.

the .htaccess file can be safely deleted – wordpress will just make a fresh one.
