    That is the one I am looking for actually (see my screendump). But I don’t seem to be able to find it in the votestyle.css.

    Yes, I tried, but it is a know problem for the Equilibrium template. But the author has not come up with a solution yet.

    But I don’t want the text IN the footer. I want it as part of the body, above the line of the footer.

    Yeah that’s what I thought. I am pretty happy with the layout the way it is … my editor wanted what I described above. I will just need to talk him out of it …. especially cuz of my limited (and his non existent ) coding skills. Haha. Thanks again.

    Yeah, I downloaded Xyle Scope and that one looks dope. Right now I manage to inspect fields in firebug and make changes and then do the same in css … but finding errors, I still have to use it a bit more. But I like the concept that I can visualize the changes with firebug before I actually implement them.

    The other thing I would like to change is the slideshow feature. I would like to make it the full width of the template, pushing the second column down. Something like this layout: http://designmind.frogdesign.com/blog/

    Not sure if that can be done.

    Wah it’s looking great. Thank you very much!

    Sorry for my ignorance krembo, but I only started using wordpress not so long ago. I have never used css before and am basically working off forums. The mistakes you highlighted are codes which I copied in from forums. Since I don’t fully understand css at this stage, it’s a lot of trial and error.

    As I mentioned I do use firebug to try out changes … but I only found out about Firebug a couple of days ago so I am still trying to get the hang of it.

    There are still a couple of ‘major’ changes i need to make but you have helped me a lot already and I don’t want to take up more of your time. Thanks again for the valuable explanations. I am learning a lot from that.

    Enjoy your Sunday.

    sorry guys.. it was really not my intention to start this.
    I am a total rookie, so I am just trying to get some help.

    Thank you Krembo.

    I basically work off stuff I find on the forums … that is how I am trying to learn. So typically I copy/paste codes at this stage. I do use firebug … that is how I find what/where I need to change things.

    I did (I hope) all of the above. So now my logo has the space I wanted. But it is still not aligned to the line of the nav bar and now my search is a bit out of place too.

    If you don’t mind …. I managed to put in the logo, but would like it to be more to the right to lign up with the line of the navbar Also, I would like more white space above and below.This is my site : http://zine.commonpeople.sg/zine/

    Thanks a lot. In the meantime I have sorted out my problem. Working off the standard text editor seems to be good enough. Managed to do a couple of tweaks already. Now it is just a matter of browsing forums to find what I need. Like how to align the logo and have more white space above and below, etc
    Thanks again.

    Yes, you got that right. I managed to play around with the CSS in the wordpress editor but an external editor is new to me. I did notice the the Arras theme options but they do not serve my purpose. I am using the default mac texeditor now and just need to play around with it I guess. I changed a couple of things already. But when I try to change the background (to match my two other websites) and the font it messes up my entire template. So that is something I need to look into.

    /* globals */
    
    body					{ background-color: #F0F0F0; color: #333; font: 12px 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; height: 100%; min-height: 100%; }

    I changed it in the above field but strangely enough … that did not work. Ok, I will continue to play around with it.

    Thanks for all the help.

    One more question krembo. I am already using firebug …. but that only allows for previewing. I just downloaded xylescope and that is also for previewing.

    My problem is that I always edit my templates within wordpress. The arras template however does not allow that.

    So I was told to get a css editor, go to my ftp and drag out the css file, edit it and drag it back into ftp. So I downloaded the cSSEdit

    This is what I do:
    – I open the with cSSEdit
    – I make a basic change (font color)
    – I save the file on my desktop, drag it back into the ftp
    – my entire website is messed up

    So honestly, I am at wits end and maybe I should just try and find another magazine style template, since I don’t manage to sort this css editing stuff out.

    Thanks Krembo. The review is very helpful. I will try out the xylescope.
