In reply to: Autumn Forest 1.0 Theme H-E-L-P PleaseAs you can see, there is a framed picture there. How do I get my picture in it?
Replace this picture:
[webroot]/wp-content/themes/autumn-forest/imgs/sidephoto.jpgby yours.
And is it possible to customize my pages in such a way that I have different widgets on different page or is it like once I choose my widgets they will be the same on all pages?
Yes, theoretically, but you’ll have to create several registered widget sidebars for that, and change your pages accordingly. Look here for a simple instruction.
And on my Contact Page, how do I add a contact form?
I use a plugin called “Enhanced WP-ContactForm”
And how do I add videos uploaded in Youtube?
Probably a plugin (search for it in the plugin directory).

In reply to: the-last-falloke, a few things would really help: decent punction marks increase the readability of your question, any description about the-last-fall might help (is it a theme, plugin, or something else?)*, and a link to your site would be advisable.

*you cannot expect a potential helper to search the internet (and speculate) on what exactly you need help on.

In reply to: How to modify the_excerptYou cannot modify the_excerpt() in any way…
Of course, this isn’t true. You can write your own filters (as plugins) to modify the behaviour of the_excerpt, including a ‘read more’ link. I write two articles about that on my site

In reply to: Designer’s HelpIt’s more complicated than just change width’s (which is 750px/770px for most divs): you could change them into 900px, and change the width of sidebar to 340px, but your header image needs to be expanded, or centered, or else it looks like sh*t.

In reply to: IE layout issueIt’s the left margin on the sidebar that’s killing the site. IE handles margins different than other browsers do.
Embed content and sidebar in a div, and make them float left.

In reply to: Developing ThemesI work the other way around:
I draw a sketch on a piece of paper, install Starkers Theme for WordPress, which is completely naked (although it needs some minor tweaking for 2.8.x), and start building the css.

In reply to: adding image alt and image title attributes to header….you cannot apply title and alt to background images. The function would be irrelevant too: alt is used for browser not able to display images, and background images aren’t displayed anyway in such browsers. Title is for screen readers (and possibly SEO reasons). If you want to accomplish these, you’re better of creating a title in html, and move it out of the screen with ‘
text-indent: -9999px;‘Peter

In reply to: Theme DirectoryWordPress needs its themes to be in [webroot]/wp-content/themes/ but I think you could accomplish the thing you want with softlinks, or virtual hosts in apache.
I don’t know however what you’re trying to accomplish with this.

In reply to: Post: rounded coners in Cssbut WHERE IS THE CODE WHERE POST ARE DISPLAY?…
It’s a combination of files, depending on your theme. In any case it’ll be index.php and style.css, but it can also be: single.php, page.php and all other files that need modification.
I suggest you start with index.php and style.css (in your theme directory, which is [webroot]/wp-content/themes/[theme name]), and see how much you have to modify after that.
