Please? With sugar on top? * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [I’d appreciate feedback on my site from INTJs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/id-appreciate-feedback-on-my-site-from-intjs/) * [rense](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rense/) * (@rense) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/id-appreciate-feedback-on-my-site-from-intjs/#post-792114) * INTP here… * I like the color scheme. The site as a whole looks a bit messy. I’d ditch the flower pattern in the sidebar. It’s very distracting and it’s not seamless. I think I’d move all the content over to the right, put a wrapper div around the whole thing, and then put in a solid color background in the green or pink. I’d also get rid of the green horizontal lines that are all over the place. It’s really distracting and my eyes keep dancing all over the place. Maybe just have one sidebar and make the entries wider with a larger font. * I hope some of that is helpful! * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [Scrapbook gone crazy – The Tattooed Mama](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scrapbook-gone-crazy-the-tattooed-mama/) * [rense](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rense/) * (@rense) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scrapbook-gone-crazy-the-tattooed-mama/#post-792113) * That’s lovely! I wish there was a little more synchrony, such has having the “ categories” “flickr” and “archives” headers all match. On the other hand it is scrapbook “gone crazy”! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Sidebar Moved Over in IE7](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebar-moved-over-in-ie7/) * Thread Starter [rense](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rense/) * (@rense) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebar-moved-over-in-ie7/#post-788073) * It’s fixed. I just played with my sidebar CSS until I got it working again. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Sidebar Moved Over in IE7](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebar-moved-over-in-ie7/) * Thread Starter [rense](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rense/) * (@rense) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebar-moved-over-in-ie7/#post-787930) * Hi, and thanks! I appreciate your suggestion. There is a specific reason why that particular negative padding declaration is in there. My sidebar does not have a negative padding declaration or the background image thereof (for displaying the red background): * Sidebar CSS: * ``` #sidebar { float: right; padding: 5px; width: 190px; font-size: 9pt; color: #fff; } #sidebar a { color: #999; text-decoration: none; } #sidebar a:visited { color: #999; text-decoration: none; } #sidebar a:hover { color: #6699ff; text-decoration: underline; } #sidebar img { border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0; } ``` * Background image CSS: * ``` #main { position: relative; width: 800px; height: 100%; left: 25px; background-color: #fff; background-image: url('http://allirense.com/sideback.gif'); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: 100%; } ``` * To see the rest of the css, go here: [http://allirense.com/testblog/wp-content/themes/hacdc/style.css](http://allirense.com/testblog/wp-content/themes/hacdc/style.css) * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Trouble Getting my Sidebar Widget-aware](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-getting-my-sidebar-widget-aware/) * Thread Starter [rense](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rense/) * (@rense) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-getting-my-sidebar-widget-aware/#post-750848) * I still don’t know how to fix this. Could someone please help? Thanks. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Trouble Getting my Sidebar Widget-aware](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-getting-my-sidebar-widget-aware/) * Thread Starter [rense](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rense/) * (@rense) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-getting-my-sidebar-widget-aware/#post-750520) * Okay, I stopped getting the “about” section to show up and instead received this error: * Warning: main(/home/allirens/public_html/testblog/wp-content/themes/hacdc/searchform. php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ allirens/public_html/testblog/wp-content/themes/default/sidebar.php on line 6 * I’m going to delete the php code for now, but I really need the widgets working. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [PHP Syntax Error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-syntax-error/) * Thread Starter [rense](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rense/) * (@rense) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-syntax-error/#post-749828) * I’m not sure what was wrong–that could have been it. I just redid the page and it’s fine now. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Obnoxious White Line](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/obnoxious-white-line/) * Thread Starter [rense](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rense/) * (@rense) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/obnoxious-white-line/#post-717415) * Thanks for the tip. It looks great in Firefox and Safari! However, it looks horrid in IE (7): there’s a 4px overlap between the skyline image and the navbar, plus the navbar is sticking out a centimeter or so on the right hand side of the page. How can I make this IE compatible? * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [New Theme/Blog – Looking for Feedback](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-themeblog-looking-for-feedback-2/) * [rense](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rense/) * (@rense) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-themeblog-looking-for-feedback-2/#post-480725) * I’m envious of how display the content at the bottom of the page. I tried to do something like that myself and only ran into all sorts of problems. I like your color scheme, it is very clean and pretty. * I have to admit I don’t really like the header. I would rather see the logo not overlapping, and then the gradient with the links below it, maybe with more color– using that red, perhaps, and having it look more like buttons than text links on a gradient. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Alignment Annoyance](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alignment-annoyance/) * Thread Starter [rense](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rense/) * (@rense) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alignment-annoyance/#post-470627) * Okay, it is valid. But now, not only is the alignment problem still an issue, but the white background does not extend all the way to the bottom of the page. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Alignment Annoyance](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alignment-annoyance/) * Thread Starter [rense](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rense/) * (@rense) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alignment-annoyance/#post-470412) * Firstly, I was planning on validating the page after I got everything working properly. * Secondly, most of the errors are from the flickr badge. They have nothing to do with my problem. I did fix one error I thought could be a culprit, but the problem still exists. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [height will not extend to the bottom of the page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/height-will-not-extend-to-the-bottom-of-the-page/) * Thread Starter [rense](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rense/) * (@rense) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/height-will-not-extend-to-the-bottom-of-the-page/#post-350735) * I finally got it working somehow. I’m not sure what I did that was different from how it was originally with all the stuff I tried in-between.
