In reply to: Display header image based on page_idThere is information on similar techniques on the Pages page in the Codex at http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages
And an article on using multiple looks for single page views that might help, and more information on how to manipulate the WordPress Loop and conditional tags that work with the
is_page()query at:http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop_in_Action
http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_TagsSo there are several ways of doing this. Basically, you need a query that says “if this Page is id X then do this, if it is Page id Y do that”. It would sit in your Page template file, often called
page.php.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Adhesive: A new sticky WP pluginWell, jaqy, let’s start with a couple of strange errors in your site validaton.
Add to that some HUGE images. The file size does not need to be that big. It’s taking ages for me to view your site. Yikes.
AND your site is designed with tables, which is very bad web page design. Tables are for data not design. That is part of the long file downloading problems. No wonder you’re having trouble. The site is designed with Adobe GoLive. Yikes.
For whatever reason, and it must be a strange one, you have the
adhesive_postclass INSIDE a javascript. There are javascripts and odd things all over your code.AND, it’s been 8 minutes and I still get a report that the page is loading or reloading or whatever it is that is taking so long for all the parts and pieces.
Clean up the core template files of tables and javascripts and get down to the basics of clean and professional code and your site will be much happier all the way around.

In reply to: Why won’t this validate?You are missing a whole chunk of information that needs to be in your
header.php.The best solution is to open the
header.phpin your theme and in the Default WordPress Theme and compare the two. Copy over the top information from the Default Theme into your Theme header and then try this again.I bet that will fix it.
Specifically you are missing:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
But compare the two and add the missing elements.Oh, and why not move the big lump of CSS to the style sheet so everything is in one place. Keeps things nice and clean that way, though some people don’t do it. The site is simple enough to have it all in the style sheet.

In reply to: Coloring the post…We generally have a policy of one question per topic. Just to let you know.
In your
style.cssstyle sheet, look for the styles for the calendar. You will be adding colors to the table that creates the calendar.To find styles in your WordPress site to help you in the future, see:
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Coloring the post…See where it says
class="main"well, you can style that, but then it will only style each paragraph and not the whole post. I don’t know what Theme you are using, but around where thethe_contenttag is, including the paragraphs, add a DIV like this:<div class="entry">Then style the entry class in your style sheet and your posts will be styled overall, outside of the title and comment links.
You want to include those, then put the DIV above there to encompass them.
See http://codex.wordpress.org/Site_Architecture_1.5 for more specifics on the structure of most Themes.

In reply to: how do i add multiple stylesheets for a themeOr combine all of the styles into your
style.css, which is what I did.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: missing stylesheetThere is another issue that might be the problem. Just to give you some options and help future users.
The Theme’s style sheet must have a header as described in this article on Theme Development. If that is missing, the Presentation or Theme selector on your Administration Panel won’t “find” the Theme’s stylesheet.
Then, inside the themes, especially the
header.phpneeds to be the information that will “call” the theme appropriately, not only to the file name but the template file reference.See http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development for more information on that.

In reply to: Feeds don’t work after Blogger importCheck how the dates imported from Blogger. Did you fix those as recommended by many of the import content instructions? Some sites handle dates differently and they may need to be fixed to conform to WordPress.
I get two feeds from your site, with two titles, one an Atom and the other RSS, which is a bit odd. Check your dates first and let us know if that works.

In reply to: dashboard problemI’m using the 1.5.1.3 version and have no problems with the dashboard. In trying the various hacks, you might have messed things up. I’m sure you didn’t, but I tend to. 😉
This temporary fix found here http://wordpress.org/support/topic/36809 may help you solve the problems.
I’d recommend copying the files you changed from the 1.5.1.3 original download onto your site and checking again to make sure they are the “right” ones, free of changes. If that doesn’t work, try the hack from the thread above.

In reply to: Putting ads in blogIf you mean right “under the header” but within the “header”, then put them inside of the closing tag for the header section.
There are more specifics for laying out headers and the code used within them at http://codex.wordpress.org/Designing_Headers
If you want a “banner” across but below your header, you can add a new “div” in your
header.phpbelow the header codes that will incorporate the ads within that.If you want them right above the first post, then do what podz says.
Just giving you a few options.
