In reply to: What do I do if I have TOTALLY massacred my CSS?Or buy a small CSS reference book like O’Reilly’s CSS Pocket Reference for around $10.
ISBN 0-596-00777-9
It’s not an instruction manual, but it does have a pretty good introduction and explains properties and values pretty well for almost all declarations you will use.

In reply to: Color Codes?Also, rather than #xxxxxx for a color code you can use names. Standard names work, like:
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, purple, black, white, grey, cyan, etc.There are also a lot of other colour names:
Make sure you do NOT put the # before a name.
Also, if you run across a code in the form of triplets: #112233, then you can shorten it to #123
#333333 = #333
#dd66ff = #d6fForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Replacing Sidebar Background ColorThis is a forum and not an instant messenger so you will notbe answered instantly. You may need to wait a day or two for an answer.
Start with these:
In your style.css replace the the sidebar section with the following:
/* sidebar */ #sidebar { margin-top: 15px; background-color: black; padding-bottom: 20px; float:right; width: 260px; color: #fff; line-height: 160%; position: relative; } .welcome {margin-bottom: 1em;} .welcome h2{font-size: 23px;} .welcome h3{font-size: 18px;} .welcome h2, .welcome h3 {margin-bottom: 5px;} #sidebar .dbx-box #sidebar p { margin: 0px 0px 15px; } #sidebar h3 { font: bold 12px/100% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #fff; } #sidebar h3:hover{color: #fff;} #sidebar h3 a, #sidebar h3 a:visited { color: #fff; } #sidebar h3 img { vertical-align: middle; } #sidebar a, #sidebar a:visited { color: #fff; text-decoration:none; } #sidebar h3:hover{color: #000;} #sidebar h3 a, #sidebar h3 a:visited { color: #333; } #sidebar h3 img { vertical-align: middle; } #sidebar a, #sidebar a:visited { color: #fff; text-decoration:none; } #sidebar a:hover, #sidebar a:focus, #sidebar a:active { text-decoration:underline; } #sidebar ul { list-style: none; margin: 0 ; padding: 0 ; } #sidebar ul li { background-image: url(images/icons/bullet_black.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-left: 22px ; background-position: 0 1px; } #sidebar ul li ul li { background-image: url(images/bullet_black.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-left: 12px ; }In your dbx.css file replace the following:
/* inner content area */ .dbx-content { margin: 0; padding: 5px 10px 9px 10px; background: #000; overflow: hidden; }Using WordPress and adding bbPress should take care of most of that.
Wp will allow you to place the blog on a separate page and you can have static homepage and other pages. bbPress is forum software. There are plugins available for photo and video and user pages but I’ve not used any. Someone else could clue you in on whats available.

In reply to: line spacing problem with footnote superscriptIt looks fine in my browser.
You might want to create a css class called something like superscript and make the font smaller, like 60%. Work with the font size until it looks right.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: wht is this plugin ?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Site screwed up – help please?a few problems:
1) using “br” instead of “br /”
(edit: forum won’t let me put the wrong break code in, even in backticks. It automatically converts it to the correct code.)
2) valign=top Needs to be quoted valign=”top”
3)
<img src="http://ad.yieldmanager.com/pixel?id=&t=2" width="1" height="1" />
It thinks the &t is supposed to be an entity (like ). You can try replacing with ” but that doesn’t always work
<img src="http://ad.yieldmanager.com/pixel?id=& amp ;t=2" width="1" height="1" />(edit: even in CODE it won’t print right.)
Those should knock several errors off of your list.Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: Music websiteIt does look real nice.
One odd thing though is the one skinny tall ad about 4 frames down on the far right. It has a lot of blank space to the right of it.
Possibly centering it might help. Maybe center it with a non-intruding background?
Or is it possible to put two such ads side-by-side? I don’t think that there is enough room though…

In reply to: Thai Music Website.Both links work fine for me.
Hovering over the upper link shows the same as the lower link.
Could it be a regional problem? I’m in the U.S.

In reply to: My new siteI can’t read Russian, but the source code shows nothing to do with wordpress, so that looks like plain ol’ spam.

In reply to: This site’s RSS feed1: Post subject has post user prepended to it. This makes trying to sort posts by subject totally futile. Even trying to sort by thread is hopeless as the only times threads are created is when the same user posts to the same forum.
I’m reading the RSS feeds in Thunderbird. As I said, it’s impossible to group threads together so I end up with multiple copies of the same page and have to manually go through each one and try to catch all the duplicates. Otherwise I am reading the same posting several times. Considering I have a few hundred posts a day, this is a total time waste and a pain.
Why are posters prepended to topic titles anyway? The poster is already listed in the sender field of the feed.

In reply to: Can WordPress be used as a static intranet site?I don’t see any problem. Just make a blog entry for each policy and make sure to categorize them. Take widgets out of the sidebar like archives and calendar. They may not ALL show on the front page, but they will all be accessible to everyone.

In reply to: Is it possible to embed a plugin in a theme?I’ve downloaded and uploaded a couple themes to my site where they have to be transfered to wp-content instead of the themes folder because they contain both themes and plugins in the structured zip files.
Just make sure that people realize that the file placement is different.

In reply to: Add a header to my blog!If you go into your mystique theme folder and then into images you will see a file called header.jpg. Just replace that with whatever header you want. The original one is sized at 1300 x 400.
