In reply to: What other ways can I shrink my gravatar photo size?On line 2130 of your css file, you can set a max-width or width to your more desired width for the avatar.
.about_author_module .avatar { float:left; width:160px; margin-right:28px; <strong>max-width: 40px;</strong> padding:0; margin-bottom:10px }Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: BIG Problem. Space added to URL gets a 404That extra space should be removed because the browser will read it and thus with no actual page there it will return a 404. I recommend trying to edit those forum links, or if that’s not an issue create a link back to your home page on your 404.php template file for users who click the link with the extra space in the url

In reply to: Web Browser cropping text vs. re-sizing text to be smaller.It looks as though some of your css divs are not set in the proper media queries, so the containers and text are not resizing when looking on smaller devices or when you shrink your browser window.
This is a pretty comprehensive list of links to help you get started with that, if you have more specific questions post them here and we’ll see if we can help you get it situated.

In reply to: background image shows and then disappearsIt looks like you’ve set the background image twice, once on the element and once on the div #headerwrap. If you remove it from the element itself you’ll see it working as expected. Hope that helps.

In reply to: Lightbox to all imagesThis plugin is pretty solid for lightbox and requires no configuration. Is there a particular reason you don’t want to install a plugin? https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-lightbox-2/
If you’d rather use something included in WordPress core, you can check out thickbox as well http://codex.wordpress.org/ThickBox

In reply to: My latest Humble siteSite looks pretty good, I didn’t see it before the improvements. One thing is that the Facebook, Twitter etc at the bottom left of the page looks forced and like it was just put there cause it should be, You may want to add it elsewhere on in the header as more of an integration. That or just remove it from the homepage. Just a thought. Otherwise looks really good.

In reply to: Please dont laughI think it looks pretty good as well. I’d just watch the image quality as they look somewhat pixelated in the slider and the top banner does need to be aligned center. Other than that it looks really good I think.

In reply to: Changing Site URLFirst Take your index.php file and open up a text editor add blog just the way I did below:
require(‘./blog/wp-blog-header.php’);
Then Copy this file back inside the blog folder but also one level above outside the folder so you’ll see folder named blog and index.php side by side
So now on the settings–>general–>
wordpress address is showing: http://www.erichschuler.com/blog
site url is showing: http://www.erichschuler.com/blog
If that’s correct in this area you should then just be able to remove the four letter in blog from the Site URL Only click save and voila. now your site will point to just your name
If you’re still concerned check out the book dig into WP is a great source and helped me a lot when I was getting started a few years back.

In reply to: Anything and everything CrystalLooks good. May want to consider down the road removing the flash slider for jQuery so mobile can view it as well. Just a thought since more and more web is moving towards mobile.

In reply to: asking for feedbackMaybe it’s just me, but I would consider using static images rather than animated gifs. While they were once a great part of the web some time ago, I don’t know that a majority of people take sites with them now as serious as those that don’t use them?

In reply to: School Web SiteJust a thought for consistency consider using only one or two fonts in the header? Currently of the 4 each one is different and they’re all differnt sizes. Maybe just the logo is one and the rest are the same. Just my two cents since you were looking for minor viusal changes.

In reply to: Changing Site URLErich That really depends on how your hosting and file structure is set up, inside of your hosting did you setup a folder called blog with all the wordpress files inside of it?
