In reply to: Image instead of text in menuBelow each page or post there is a custom field section. You can add a name for a custom field and then in the location box put the location url of the image you want to pull.
Then instead of calling the page title etc. call that custom field instead and it will show the image not the page name/title.

In reply to: Would WordPress work for me?Customers that purchase a site from us all know that it is wordpress and we always credit WordPress in the footer of the admin section. It is great software and needs to recommendation.
Most customers (we are local based to small busineses remember) don’t know what wordpress is and therefore understand content management system better. We have customized the admin section slightly in order to make it more ‘user friendly’ and easier to understand for non-computer/internet users.
We are not trying to claim that we have made it in fact our sister site educationthemes.co.uk (currently under construction) is a great promotion for WordPress.

In reply to: Weird Layout ProblemI have managed to fix this. All it was, was some notation code that I have put into home.php before it called the header.php file.I just removed that code and it worked. Horray.

In reply to: Would WordPress work for me?velvetblues is correct. Most of my sites are made in wordpress including our web design site at equaldesign.co.uk. You can use pages instead of posts, or by using posts you can create a more dynamic homepage which could bring in information from your different categories.
Most of our portfolio is created using wordpress.

In reply to: Image instead of text in menuYou can do it with posts and pages using a custom field which is entered underneath the post when it is written.

In reply to: Moving WordPress’ search engine to the top of pageThis is most probably because your sidebar/php is not writeable. You need to change the permissions on the file to 777. (CHMOD to 777). Then it should let you write to it.

In reply to: Theme that has 800×400 header image?If you want to just use this driver theme then all you need to do to make the header image different is change the following code in the stylesheet:
#header { background:transparent url(images/header.jpg) repeat scroll 0%; height:290px; margin:0pt auto; padding:0pt 0pt 0pt 0px; width:850px; }to
#header { background:transparent url(images/header.jpg) repeat scroll 0%; height:400px; margin:0pt auto; padding:0pt 0pt 0pt 0px; width:800px; }You will also need to edit a few other things. Find the following code, also in style.css:
#page { background-color:white; margin:20px auto; padding:0pt; width:850px; }change to:
#page { background-color:white; margin:20px auto; padding:0pt; width:800px; }and finally find
.narrowcolumn { background:#FDFCCA url(images/content-background.jpg) repeat-x scroll 0%; border:3px solid #9A9923; display:inline; float:right; margin:0pt 15px 0pt 0pt; padding:10px; width:535px; }and change to:
.narrowcolumn { background:#FDFCCA url(images/content-background.jpg) repeat-x scroll 0%; border:3px solid #9A9923; display:inline; float:right; margin:0pt 15px 0pt 0pt; padding:10px; width:485px; }Hope that helps.
If you have a file called category-3.php file in your themes folder then all when you click on the category with ID 3 it will automatically use that template without the need for the above code. Take a look at this page:

In reply to: Moving WordPress’ search engine to the top of pageThat would be in your sidebar.php file inside your themes folder.
Just cut and paste it to the top of the sidebar.php file and then it will show at the top, not the bottom.If you can’t find it then you must be using widgets and therefore you should be able to change the order of the widgets in presentation/design>widgets in your wordpress admin area.
