In reply to: Underline My TopicsThe CSS for that site that underlines the title is:
.ncol h1 { border-bottom:2px solid #525D5A; }To changed the border to a dashed line is only a matter of changing ‘solid’ to ‘dashed’.
.ncol h1 { border-bottom:2px dashed #525D5A; }I can’t be more specific with the CSS selector without seeing your template.

In reply to: Why is this border extending so far?You can add a rule like this to your CSS and it should work:
.imgborderL p, .imgborderR p { margin: 0; }This will remove the margin for any p tags that are children of a tag with a
.imgborderLor.imgborderRclass.Sorry for not being more explicit earlier.

In reply to: barter? help me get my blog in working orderBeing standards compliant is important for all sites regardless of if it’s a blog. It’s a hard thing to keep on top of, I keep meaning to write an automated task to do it for me but I’ve never gotten around to it.
As for what standard to follow, IE 7 doesn’t support XHTML so you are probably better off going with HTML 4.01 strict (
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN") as this is better supported by all major browsers.
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">Read this article for a brief explanation of what DOCTYPEs are and what they do.

In reply to: setting up my WP blogOops, yeah for my approach you needed to already have a database created.

In reply to: barter? help me get my blog in working orderWhat exactly do you want done Joshua? Do you want your current front page to be XHTML compliant, or all pages on your site?

In reply to: setting up my WP blogWhat you need to do is execute the SQL (you can use the command line or phpMyAdmin for this). This should recreate all of the tables the blog needs for you.
To use phpMyAdmin to do this, log in, select the database from the drop down in the left hand sidebar, select the SQL tab when it appears, paste the SQL, and then click Go.
Check the names of the tables and then edit your wp-config.php to point at these tables by setting $table_prefix.
I think all that’s left to do then is to run the upgrade script http://xxx.com/blog/wp-admin/upgrade.php.
Make sure you keep a secure backup of your SQL file just in case.

In reply to: Portfolio PagesI’m not sure about WordPress plugins that would do this but maybe Thickbox is what you are looking for. Check out the examples to give you an idea of what it can do.
It’s well documented and is being maintained by the vibrant jQuery community so you should be in good hands if you decide it will do the trick.

In reply to: Why is this border extending so far?JoyceD is right, it’s the p tag is causing the problem.
The CSS for that tag is:
p, ul, ol { margin:0pt 0pt 1.5em; }I changed the margin to 0 using Firebug and the extra space at the bottom is removed.
So either remove the p or add a class to it and set it’s margin to 0 if that’s what you want.

In reply to: blank wp-comments-post.php errorIt seems like this has been hanging around a long time. I noticed on one of my blogs that disabling Akismet resolved the issue, but I know that isn’t the problem here and isn’t the problem that many others are encountering.
If someone of the dev team could suggest a good way to debug this it’d be helpful.

In reply to: Page Template ProblemJust try adding it to the header.php where it currently adds the style.css.
It currently outputs:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://larrybrownsports.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/daily-digest-20-20/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />I don’t know if this will help but it’s worth trying.

In reply to: Page Template ProblemThat’s weird alright. It works fine in FF but I noticed the same behavior you mentioned with IE.
To make sure it’s not a weird caching issue you could append a random number to the end of the css href:
<?php srand(time()); $random = (rand()%1000); ?> <link ... href="style.css?v=<?php echo($random);?>"/>Not sure if this will help but it may be worth trying.

In reply to: How do I activate hotlink protection?Not directly WordPress related but .htaccess is the way to go alright. Try what this article recommends, and tweak the extension list to suit your needs (add |zip).
