In reply to: Different PAGE theme from POSTS?You really don’t need Page Templates (unless you want pages to be different from each other).
In the WordPress Hierarchy is specified that pages are displayed using a file called page.php, while posts use the file single.php.
You can style pages different than posts this way. You need however to consider that, depending on your theme, header and footer information might be the same for both.

In reply to: Limiting post length in blogrollyou could add the following to your css in class post:
(the max-height and overflow property)
.post { margin-bottom:20px; margin-left:130px; margin-top:10px; max-height:300px; overflow:hidden; width:500px; }Peter

In reply to: My theme has many problems.Although this is not the nicest way to ask for help, I tried to look at your website, however your webserver presented this message:
You don’t have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Not much I can do here.

In reply to: CSS for a page: not workingYou could of course change to this (just for the text wrapping):
.image img { border: 1px solid #a00000; float: left; }Peter

In reply to: Changing Header Image and Title ProblemsWhat I was really looking for was a way to change the text in the header and not affect the actual title of the website. Is that possible?
The text is created by a function, which you easily can replace with your own text (or image).

In reply to: Strange layout width changeFor example, the wrapper is specified a width of 1007 pixels but if you measure it on screen, it “seems” to display only about 934 pixels.
Cannot verify. I measured and I saw 1027px, which is the wrapper including its padding.
Peter
an url to your site would really help.

In reply to: Sidebar Helpdepending on your theme: index.php, single.php, page.php, category.php, search.php, and where these divs could be.
It’s possible that these sidebars are included (or called by a function get_sidebar(), in that case just change the order of those.

In reply to: How to get Sidebar to scrollThat would require a major reconstruction of your side. The evil here is the ‘position: absolute;’ for several elements on your page.
Position: absolute means that all those elements are placed on the page with absolute coordinates related to your viewport (which basically is the browser).
You could change this to ‘position: fixed’, but then it’s fixed in relation to its parent (which in your case is body, and therefore your browser), but you could wrap the entire site in a wrapper with relative positioning.

<div id="content"> <div id="left-menu"></div> <div id="main"></div> <div id="rightbar"></div> </div>Peter

In reply to: Different style on homepage and on subpagesOke, then see whether body_class() helps you (pointed out/written by a fellow regular on this forum).

In reply to: Different style on homepage and on subpagesThen go back to the link I gave: it’s possible to have different page-templates for pages, and thus change the look of each and every page.

In reply to: Changing Header Image and Title Problems1. two possibilities:
either change the css (style.css) for #title and add the following:
width: 350px; line-height: 45px;or replace the text by an image
2. the image is in your theme directory (called images/header_bg.jpg), and is an image of 911x232px. If you replace it, you’ll be replacing the blue background behind your title as well.
Actually, if you browse your style.css and look for this:
#header { background-image:url(images/header_bg.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; width:910px; height:232px; float:left; }And remove the background items, you’ll be done.

In reply to: reset Kubrick to defaultWise lesson #1: leave the default theme untouched. If you want to alter, make a copy in a new theme directory.
You probably have to download wordpress, unpack the zip and restore the theme folder.
