In reply to: Best commercial WP Themes galleryDan, if you just Google for them, you can find lots of “premium” WordPress themes. There are also quite a few theme galleries, but it’s up to you to discern the good from the bad. And “Commercial” doesn’t always necessarily equate with “quality” or “professional.”
I have my own business to run, I’m not about to do your job for you.

Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: collected visualsYou mean about the design or the content? I assume the design.
Should probably center the design; left aligned designs seem a bit disconcerting. Especially on ultra wide screens that more and more folks seem to have.
The sparsity of your design would lend itself well to a liquid or fluid design, with more whitespace between the center content and the two sidebars. Right now it seems a bit crowded.
Hope this helps a bit.

In reply to: Any one know the time code east coast?WP goes by your SERVER time. So if you are in New York (Eastern Time), but your web host’s server is in California (Pacific Time), you’ll have to use Pacific time to make the adjustment. And all times are offsets from GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).
Go to your Dashboard under Settings (on the right hand top next to Plugins and Users), then choose “General.”

In reply to: Help with page design (new guy)If you want to change page headers for each PAGE, read about it here, in the Codex:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_TagsWe’ve successfully done that on this web site:
http://www.blusd.orgIn the header.php file, we have this code:
<!-- This will change depending on the page --> <?php if (is_front_page() ) { ?> <div id="banner-bottom-home"> </div> <?php } elseif ( is_page('about') ) { ?> <div id="banner-bottom-02"> </div> <?php } elseif ( is_page('calendar') ) { ?> <div id="banner-bottom-03"> </div> <?php } elseif ( is_archive() ) { ?> <div id="banner-bottom-04"> </div> <?php } else { ?> <div id="banner-bottom"> </div> <?php } ?>And in the stylesheet, this code:
#banner-bottom-01 { background-color: transparent; background-image: url(images/banner-bottom-01.png); background-position: top left; background-repeat: no-repeat; height: 208px; width: 931px; } #banner-bottom-02, #banner-bottom { background-color: transparent; background-image: url(images/banner-bottom-02.png); background-position: top left; background-repeat: no-repeat; height: 208px; width: 931px; } #banner-bottom-03 { background-color: transparent; background-image: url(images/banner-bottom-03.png); background-position: top left; background-repeat: no-repeat; height: 208px; width: 931px; } #banner-bottom-04 { background-color: transparent; background-image: url(images/banner-bottom-04.png); background-position: top left; background-repeat: no-repeat; height: 208px; width: 931px; }Hope this is a good jumping off point for you.

In reply to: How to use pretty permalinksNope.
%category%is just the code used to tell WP what your category slug will be.Pretty permalinks are explained at http://codex.wordpress.org/Introduction_to_Blogging; the % prefix and suffix is just WP’s mechanism for deploying whatever permalink scheme you want.
From the article:
“Pretty” Permalinks is the idea that URLs are frequently visible to the people who click them, and should therefore be crafted in such a way that they make sense, and not be filled with incomprehensible parameters. . . . [E.g.,] /index.php?p=423
How is a user to know what “p” represents? Where did the number 423 come from?
In contrast, here is a well-structured, “Pretty” Permalink which could link to the same article, once the installation is configured to modify permalinks:
/archives/2003/05/23/my-cheese-sandwich/

In reply to: Can’t get images to work on installed themeThe paths to the images are WRONG.
You have this:
...url(themes/women-theme/images/bullet.gif);It should likely be this:
...url(/images/bullet.gif);And if you need help customizing WP themes, go here. My friend, Shelly’s great tute on theming WP:
