In reply to: Block Trackbacks from specific websites?Skippy – either, I guess.
I have 3 blogs. I often refer to recipes in one of the blogs from the other two, but I don’t want the comments to show up on the recipe site with the link to the other blogs.
I guess I can just turn off the pingback on all of them and forget it.
I guess I don’t really understand the difference between pingback and trackback or how they work.

In reply to: Block Trackbacks from specific websites?But then it won’t ping anyone, right? I think I still want to ping other sites.

In reply to: easy way to add column???Try this site for examples.
Also, I successfully did a 3-column design at The Weekend Chef that works on both PCs and Macs.

In reply to: Riddle me this, Batman!Thanks, y’all! I’ll have to go make a note of that somewhere and make the change to the other 3 column blog too.
This has been a learning experience to say the least. 😉
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Riddle me this, Batman!OK So, now what I’ve done is create a wrapper just for the left column and the middle content. (Saw this done on a CSS sample site.)
Could someone check how it looks on a Mac? It appears to be o.k. in Windows IE and Windows Firefox, but then those weren’t the problem. 😉

In reply to: upgrade from greymatter – some questionsI don’t really know the answers to all of your questions. I will say that I recently converted two of my blogs from greymatter to WordPress. One I moved to a new directory completely and the other, I kept in the same directory.
The conversion does keep your old files intact, but they will no longer be a part of your blog and therefore use of them will not result in a link back to your new/current blog without your own intervention. (I deleted my old archives after successfully converting them to WordPress & MySql.)
While I did resubmit the blog I moved to the search engines, the other has not seen a loss in google ranking as far as I’m aware and I was actually startled when the recently moved blog showed up in a search I was doing for something else. 😉
As for my static HTML, I copied the content of said files into WordPress Pages (not posts) and now no nasty rebuild — which was wearing on the patience of my ISP. In fact, changes to the theme/template are automatic; there’s no resource-hogging rebuild at all with WordPress.
Anyway, the conversion for me was fairly painless from greymatter (my conversion from a Cutenews site was not). However, maybe someone else has better advice and the answers to your questions.

In reply to: Riddle me this, Batman!OK…I’ve changed the width and margins on the content (middle) column to be percentages rather than specific pixels. If this doesn’t fix it, I may have to do a complete redesign. *sigh*
Fortunately, I’ve learned a lot in the last month or so about CSS…still it’s disheartening as I really thought I was done with that one. 😉
Apparently I’m still maxed out on iCapture. Hmmmm…

In reply to: Riddle me this, Batman!Hmmm…I’ve gone over and over it all…I’ve deactivated the nifty corners on the recipe divs, but I can’t check on how it looks on a Mac because I’ve maxed out on iCapture for the day. If someone could just check The Weekend Chef for me on a Mac and let me know if it’s still slipping?
I’ll be both relieved and annoyed if that fixed it. 😉
TIA!

In reply to: The Weekend Chef – New & Improved!I went back and checked with the original css and I didn’t alter the widths of the columns. I wonder how the original design looks on a Mac.
Really this has become a fascinating problem.
Oh, and thanks for the links and help macmanx and Rosie. 🙂

In reply to: The Weekend Chef – New & Improved!I take that back. It’s 8px (padding) + 160px + 8px (padding) + 8px (padding) +382px + 8px (padding) + 8px (padding) + 160px + 8px (padding), which does equal 740px.

In reply to: The Weekend Chef – New & Improved!Oh, I have set up a sandbox, though it won’t help me because it all looks fine on my home and work PCs; I can’t actually see what it’s doing on the Mac.
However, here’s what I got:
The wrapper is 740 with 2px padding.
The right column is 160 plus 8px for padding which equals 168.
The left column is 160 plus 8px for padding which equals 168.
The content is 372 plus 16px for padding which equals 388.
The total apparently is 724px which should technically work, but you say it’s being pushed down in the Mac browswer.
