In reply to: Padding photos so text doesn’t butt against them.Regarding the first post, think of padding and margins like moving to a new house. Padding is what you put inside the box, right? The padding is the space between the content and the border (even if it’s invisible, use your imagination) of the “box”. The margin is the space between two boxes. They do seem very similar, but that gives you a simplified idea of the difference. 🙂

In reply to: Padding photos so text doesn’t butt against them.You would add something like this to your CSS:
#photo
align: left | right | center
padding: 0 0 0 0 (If four values are given, they apply to top, right, bottom, and left padding, respectively. If one value is given, it applies to all sides. If two or three values are given, the missing values are taken from the opposite side.)
margin: 0 0 0 0 (If four values are given, they apply to top, right, bottom, and left margin, respectively. If one value is given, it applies to all sides. If two or three values are given, the missing values are taken from the opposite side.)
border: (The border property can only set all four borders; only one border width and border style may be given. To give different values to an element’s four borders, an author must use one or more of the border-top, border-right, border-bottom, border-left, border-color, border-width, border-style, border-top-width, border-right-width, border-bottom-width, or border-left-width properties.)In your case, margin is the important one to pay attention to, as it determines the amount of space between itself and the next bit of content.
After editing the CSS and defining a name for the element you’re going to use, you can add this to your template.
<img src=’http://link.to.your.picture’ id=’photo’ /> (referencing the #photo ID element that you defined in your CSS) Adjust the values in your CSS till it looks correct. Hope that helps!

In reply to: Looking for opinions, comments, suggestion, etc.I actually really like the look of it so far… A couple things I would change, however, include the business of both the header and footer images. There’s some text there that you can’y really tell if it’s supposed to be legible or not, and it’s a little distracting. Nothing major, just giving you my feedback. Also, the right navigation menu is a little hard to read since the image behind it is almost as dark as the text in spots. I’ll certainly put this one on my list of themes worth watching, and don’t forget to keep myself and the rest of the WordPress Reference Center crew posted on its development! 🙂

In reply to: Comments in another language?Erm, I suppose you could come up with a plugin that would allow the visitor to select a language option from a dropdown menu, which would then filter the comment through a translation script in the appropriate language, but I have no idea how you would go about doing it… As a sidenote, Bayesian translation would probably put a lot less strain on your server, imo, if this is gonna be a regular thing. 😉

In reply to: Issues using HTML in postsI wish that bloody auto-correct “feature” would be turned off by default for those of us who aren’t the most proficient in writing pretty code. :/ Ah well… Glad to hear it works! 😀
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: install.php only opens as a text fileAs long as whatever time unit it takes is a multiple of 5, you’re still covered by warranty… I think. (Just in case, you should probably send Matt an email. At home. While he’s eating dinner. Okay, maybe not…) Hope you get it fixed soon! 😀

In reply to: Issues using HTML in postsAlso, I may be way off base here, but isn’t the correct tag
<em>instead of<i>now? I had some issues with stuff showing up incorrectly or not at all awhile ago, and it turned out that was the problem: trying to use outdated tags…Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp generates " into input formIs your code written exactly how it’s shown there, with the
"entity tags and all…? If so, go through and delete all of those, then see if it fixes the problem. Also, did you try to edit your page outside of WordPress, by chance, or copy/paste code from another program?Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: Review PleaseLooks great, the gallery shows up just fine in Firefox… On a sidenote, cute kids! 😀 Glad to have you in the WordPress community. 🙂

In reply to: Images Not ShowingErm, if it shows it with that semi-colon there, you definitely need to remove that. 🙂

In reply to: My wordpressVery nice, it fits your theme perfectly! I was referring to the theme you’re using on your site, however; I’d love to do a review of it if you want to release it to the public… 🙂
