In reply to: new banner for themeWithout knowing your theme (an url would help) I would probably say in the file header.php.

In reply to: I made a setting change and now can’t access the site at all?one way to correct this could be if you had access to the mysql database directly.
Modify the wp_options tables (where wp_ is the table_prefix) and modify the value for option_name site_url and home.

In reply to: Problem displaying subpage links in hierarchyI am assuming that the reason this is happening is because the code is calling for the subpage links of that particular subpage, instead of its parent.
Correct!
I’m trying to figure out how you are using this. Plain old wp_list_pages() creates a hierarchy, with the child pages as an extra unordered list in one of the parent list items.
Do you want to display a selective navigation bar of some kind?

In reply to: Replace (Older Entries) and (Newer Entries) text with imageIt took me a while to find those links on your site, had to disable all images 🙂
Solve it in css.
you can assign an background image to the calignleft and calignright classes, and have the text move out of the way with ‘text-indent: -9999px;’

In reply to: Screenshot shows up, but Theme is blank. Help PleaseViewing from where?
- With your browser? In that case the file contains invalid php code.
- From your admin panel? I guess the file is corrupt.
Both situations could lead to a non-diplaying site. What does the apache log say (if you got access to it, that is)?

In reply to: Picture background many sizeshow can I resize them (to good quality)
in your css:
img { height: auto; width: 400px; }assuming the images all have the same ratio. If not, you could alter the height parameter to a specific amount of pixels, however you will find the images with a different ratio look distorted.

In reply to: Picture background many sizesI think I found something for you: this article.
Just one question: why don’t you resize all images to a specific size and put your border around that one size?

In reply to: Screenshot shows up, but Theme is blank. Help PleaseSounds to me the theme is not quite valid.
The screenshot doesn’t mean anything, since it’s a png, called screenshot.png. Two files in a wordpress theme are mandatory: index.php and style.css.What files are in your template directory?

In reply to: Picture background many sizesTo answer your question: if you want different backgrounds for various image sizes, you have to either:
- give every image size a different class, so you can style them differently in your stylesheet (=giving them different backgrounds)
- embed your image in 4 divs, to specify the corner images of your frame, and fill the rest with some repeating image. This is a popular technique for creating boxes with rounded corners
Anything else will be very difficult to implement, if you’re not familiar with the stuff.

In reply to: IE6 png fix not working fully …Yes, I’ve just tried this one, which seems to be the same.
What you could do (and that’s drastic) is to create a separate stylesheet for IE6, having a lot of ‘display: none;’ in them, to hide the thingemies that go wrong. You could even create a paragraph explaining that the reader is better of with a newer/better browser, and hide that in the ‘good’ stylesheet.
Unfortunately it seems that lots of companies (including the one I’m working for) do not dare to upgrade their Internet Explorer (because of sites not working anymore), but it would solve many, many problems (and I’m not talking css only here).
