Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Changing the font color in post titlesDepends what theme you have, but they are all links so they will be on an ‘a’ tag somwhere in your themes style sheet (usually styles.css).
Have you got the URL of your site so I can check for you?

In reply to: Switching Blog Title with Post TitleYou should find the following code in your header.php file inside your themes folder.
<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title();?></title>Simply swap the php functions around so it reads
<title><?php wp_title(); ?><?php bloginfo('name')?></title>This should swap them around.

In reply to: Theme No Longer WorkingWhen trying to load the stylesheet for your theme at the following address:
http://mikegoldsworthy.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/fasttrack-widgets/style.css
I am getting a Forbidden error and also a 404 error from the server. This would suggest that the server is not allowing it to serve your themes files.
Could the permissions have changed? Maybe contact your hosting company?

In reply to: First page – where do I find it so that I can edit it?If you want to edit the Hello World post that is currently showing on the home page them it should be under Manage > pages in the admin section – http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin
To insert images into posts and pages you should use the WYSYWG editor at the top when you have been to Write > Page.

In reply to: Examples of WP that don’t look like blogs?I have been convinced that WordPress can be used for a Content Management System rather than using it as a ‘normal’ blog and I was right. Over the last couple of weeks I have designed a couple of sites with WordPress that are not blogs. My photographs site at:
http://www.photos.markdw.co.uk
This uses WordPress in order to generate the pages as well as the navigation bars. The main one is regular pages and the sub navigation bar is generated through child pages function. It works really well. I have also done my web design business web site in the same way. View this site here:

What do you think?

In reply to: ‘Protected:’ in titleI am also looking to do the same. I am pretty sure that it will be sat in a php file somwhere but where is another question.
I want to remove the word protected altogether from the title and make it just say the page name.
Hope someone can help.

In reply to: photo gallery suggestionsLightbox is what you need to the clicking on images and then fading them to something else. See an example here of what I mean:

[click the image of the beach]
You can download the simple plugin here:

As for video and that not sure. It does come with a CSS file that I assume you can edit.
Hope this helps.

In reply to: My blog is moving!!Put your ‘header’ class/ID INSIDE your container. That way it will sit in the same location as the rest of the page.
IN your CSS file you have this
#header { background: #73a0c5 url('images/kubrickheader.jpg') no-repeat bottom center; }You need to get rid of the #73a0c5 and change it to the colour of the background of the page which is #D5D6D7.

In reply to: Columns are not aligning correctlyIt could be because you have your div right inside your div left. Move left outside of right and see what happens.
Is the sidebar supposed to be over the black area?
