In reply to: Why isn’t this working?The xhtml between the slider class tags is empty, so I suppose some javascript is suppose to do something there, however I cannot find any javascript invoking the slider class.

In reply to: Backstage management is too slowly!What exactly do you mean by ‘backstage management’?
If you mean the management interface: gears (click on the ‘turbo’ link in the right upper corner) is supposed to speed things up.

In reply to: Your advice please!I don’t think it’s boring at all, but that’s a matter of personal opinion, I guess.
What I find rather disturbing is the disappearing sidebar when selecting a post (I do the same on my site, however my sidebar is on the right hand side, and seems less disturbing – to me that is).

In reply to: archive.php – colour coded according to categoryThe in_category() function needs either a named category (between quotes), or an numerical ID (without quotes).
In your case you’re trying to find a category with the name ‘5’, not with the ID 5.

In reply to: Read more in categories and archiveThe […] is in the function the_excerpt().
You could search for a plugin that does exactly for you. Or you could write your own, to have a ‘read more’ link.
For instance look here.

In reply to: One big theme change – from full page site to centered?Please do not post such large chunks of code (even not when asked for): style.css can easily be downloaded if wanted, and for other snippets of code pastebin can be used.
Now you got me scrolling up and down between the question you asked and the answer I want to type…
The background:
#headerElements { background-color:#FFFFFF; position:relative; width:100%; }Not sure what you mean by moving the site down, ut if you add the following to #headerElements, then your site moves down
margin-top: 1in;Peter

In reply to: Custom Theme HelpThe image is easy: all your img tags point to a relative url (images/logo.jpg), but you want these to be absolute (/images/logo.jpg – mind the preceding forward slash).
The home page is in the web root (/), but any other category use some directory structure (/category/news/), and these don’t have image directories.
The page in itself doesn’t work for me (at least the home page), probably because of the left- and right values of 200px. While watching at 1024*768, part of the 1000px design disappears to the right.
Regarding the spacing: you should embed the entire page (between the body tags) in a div, with the appropriate width and margins (like
margin: 0 auto), and remove the left and right values of body.
Then your design will start to center.Peter
