In reply to: How to do a vertical shiftboth #nf_pageleftcontainer and #nf_pagecontentcolumn use absolute positioning (style.css)
While it’s not my preference, you could change the value of ‘top’ (which is now 0px from the top) to something different, like 50px.
That will move down both columns.

In reply to: FOOTER HELP!It’s because of the absolute positioning in the other divs. Absolute positioning takes the element out of the normal flow and clears the room for other elements. Since the footer is the only relative positioned element, its natural behaviour is to be at the top of the page.
You can only solve this by removing all the absolute positioning from the other elements, and let them float around. Don’t forget to ‘clear: both;’ on your footer.

In reply to: WordPress or Joomla!Create you layout make a functional web page and than convert it to a theme?
That’s one approach. Another one is taking a ‘naked’ theme (like Starkers) and start designing bottom-up (first typography, then basic layout, then colors, then graphics).
And yet other people use existing themes, and modify them as needed.

In reply to: the_excerpt questionin your stylesheet, almost all color properties are #000000, which incidentally means black. Against a black background is the visibility of this text almost nihil 🙂
Try changing these to something lighter, #ffffff is white. The fle to change would be style.css.

In reply to: lost blog when tried to change themeI’m kinda puzzled how (and why) a faulty theme installation, or a buggy plugin prevents someone from logging into the admin page.
Your case is not the first where this happened, and frankly I have now idea how this can happen. Just tried today at my site (just by logging into the wp-admin/ directory and examining the log files) and there was NO reference to the theme directory at all.
Could someone explain that to me?

Whenever your page doesn’t validate, IE goes into quirks mode (don’t know about chrome). FF is more forgiving.

In reply to: Change font in postsIt’s in the xhtml, and not in the style.css file (so on page.php/index.php/single.php) and looks like this:
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Maybe some plugin doing this?

In reply to: Can’t change the size of my comments box?It’s the dimensions of the textarea:
<textarea id="comment" cols="92" tabindex="4" rows="10" name="comment"/>The 92 cols are the bugger. try looking at comments.php

If I counted correctly are your divs not balanced (I count one more closing div tag than opening).
You should focus on your code (see also the errors in the validator, it’s not just the css).
Peter
it’s postwrapp div that gives you the trouble…
I’m diving into it. Please don’t change anything.
