Forum: Plugins
In reply to: small image on the frontpage, large image inside an articleYeah, well, if the search worked . . . and I know, use google, but for a lotta people that’s the ONE extra step that they won’t do, so it’s more work for you unpaid folks.
And I’ll refrain from commenting on how it looks pretty shabby to have ANY code that doesn’t work on an open source project . . .

In reply to: transparent header image on NEAT!I just checked it in FireFox and it’s working fine.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: viewing a theme without it being my selected theme.Or you can do like I do and have a second “test” installation. Actually right now I have three, and they’re usually all filled with themes I’m crafting for other folks.

In reply to: MAC vs. PCFor the record, re color you’ll never get things to look identical on both PC and Mac since Mac is always a few shades lighter on everything.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Which template is the easiest to customize?Just a word of caution– some theme creators are better at coding than others. You might want to see if there’s a demo of your “chosen theme” actually running and plug the url of it into the validator at http://validator.w3.org before you choose to use it. If you don’t you might be sentencing yourself to HOURS of debugging when you just change ONE little thing. Oh, and if the html validates, then make sure you hit the link to go on to validate the css.
Oh, and whether you choose Kubrick or some other theme, start by STRIPPING OUT ALL THE INLINE STYLES. Inline styles override the stylesheet and can drive you totally bonkers. Besides, they’re becoming deprecated.

In reply to: Need a couple of simple tips…just stick it down at the end of the stylesheet (that’s style.css)

In reply to: How do I change format of the_author() output?Try this:
<strong><?php the_author() ?></strong>Dunno where it is in your theme, but it’s in mine in index.php and single.php.
Good luck.

In reply to: php includes making blog elements disappear…Is the counter a javascript??? that might be the problem. javascripts are problematical in 2.0. So it might be that rather than anything you or I did or didn’t do!

In reply to: php includes making blog elements disappear…If you want to post code on the forum you put a backtick first (that thing to the left of the 1 on your keyboard) then the code, then another backtick.
And if you wanna really learn, drop me a line at bj at kickasswebdesign dot com. You need to keep doing this, you’ve got a fun vision, but you need to clean up the code a bit to do it well. I can maybe give you a few steers as to how you can do that. I’m totally self taught too.

In reply to: php includes making blog elements disappear…The back tick. Enclose in back ticks- that’s that thing next to the 1 on your keyboard.
Try this first though.
<?php include ('includes/current.php'); ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: php includes making blog elements disappear…Oh, and you can try this.
<?php include ('includes/current.php'); ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: php includes making blog elements disappear…Okay, that isn’t working . . . *sigh* since I imagine line 59 of sidebar.php is exactly where you put that include call. Can you post the sidebar code exactly as it is when it causes that error?

In reply to: php includes making blog elements disappear…Re the br clearer. Put it before or after anything that isn’t working. So if it’s the dropdown archive menu that isn’t working put the br clearer in the template before (or after) the call for that and see if it helps. WP 2.0 needs more clearing stuff in every template than any static html page ever did, it’s been driving me into a straitjacket.
