In reply to: Bad display in Internet ExplorerHave you changed any of the theme files at all?
It’d be hard to tell you exactly what files to edit, but if it’s just on the default page, it’s probably in index.php where you’re getting some problems.
You definitely need to edit header.php and make sure there’s a <body> tag after the <head> ends though.

In reply to: Top-to-bottom gradients in sidebarsOh, okay okay. I thought you meant to have the gradient expand dynamically depending on the size of the sidebar, that would be crazy hard. lol
What you could do is wrap the entire area in a div (both sidebars and content area, if you’re trying to do this on the theme currently visible on: http://thebetsygspot.com/). Then apply a background image to that wrapper that matches your sidebars and content area and such.
This way when the sidebar stops extending, the background image in the wrapper will continue to the footer, making it appear that the sidebar continues downward.
There’s a name for that technique, but I’m not sure of it. Faux background or something.

In reply to: My Themes aren’t showing up in the dashboardThe theme you’re using is supposed to have two columns of (older) posts near the bottom. The face that you have youtube videos and such in some of your posts is causing them to overflow the boundaries, causing all those problems.
Check out the demo of that theme to see what I’m talking about:

In reply to: Bad display in Internet ExplorerOkay, I’m actually pretty sure this is what’s happening now (after looking through your source).
1. You have no <body> tag. Look at your main page source, you’ll see after the </head> tag, a list begins. No <body> tag at all.
2. You have two <head> sections. Near the bottom of the source is a second style sheet stuck between <head> & </head>. You need to remove this and place it at the top of the document (header.php).
Other than those two things, the CSS and page source look dandy.

In reply to: Bad display in Internet ExplorerProbably just some margin/padding problems in IE 6.
Does the page display correctly in IE7? (I don’t have it installed on this machine).
Also, in IE6, I noticed that your header is displaying as a slightly different color than in Mozilla. Could have something to do with it being a PNG format.

In reply to: Multiple Header graphicsUsing the is_page(‘page slug‘) conditional tag you should be able to specify different images for different pages. More information on how to do this can be found in the link I provided above (WordPress Codex “Conditional Tags” page)

In reply to: Changing sidebar widget titles to imagesYou should be able to do this pretty easily with a bit of CSS.
Each widget title is between nifty <h2> tags before each widget title is an
- tag with a specific class for each type of widget. For instance, the recent comments widget looks like this on your site (up to the title):
<li id="recent-comments" class="widget widget_recent_comments"> <h2 class="widgettitle">Recent Comments</h2>With a bit of CSS, you could easily just hide the text and display a background image in it’s place:
.widget_recent_comments h2 { text-indent: -9999px; background-image: url('imageurl.jpg'); display: block; width: 100px; height: 100px; }Something around those lines should get you started, then just make a similar title for each widget (you can find their class by viewing the source of your blog).
