    I want to thank you all for your generous and well intended assistance in this matter. I just finished editing the blog and as you all have assured me, it looks GREAT!
    Wow, isn’t it great to learn something new?

    That’s the point that I’m at right now. I’ve already confirmed one of our writers did in fact us MS Word. I’ve asked the other writer but already suspect that was the case for him too. I thought I’d be okay having them copy and paste into notepad so as to strip it all down but after reading the last couple posts I think I’ll ask them to go from Word (where the doc was created), into Notepad, and then have them give it to me so I can look at it in Dreamweaver.
    Sound like a plan?

    Spencernp, no offense but why don’t you make that test blog about 5 times longer and see if you still don’t have alignment issues? When I chopped 70% of the blog content away mine too fit within the assigned parameters.

    You’ve been a great help spencercp and I was very optimistic to upload the new files. For the last hour I sat around playing with variables in style.css. Unfortunately, still no go. It’s nothing that my guy is doing. He’s just taking his article and sticking it in through the admin. It’s nothing I’m doing because everything I play with I revert back to the original after I see that it doesn’t work.
    Your files have been installed and bring me right back to where I started. I’m looking at the 20000000 violations and wondering how in the Hell that’s happened from just following instructions.

    I’m so displeased with this software. I understand it’s free but how much aggravation should be involved with something this basic?

    Alignment issue, again. Goes away when I post a 2 paragraph blog. I’ve tried the fix files, spent hours perusing documentation. This really appears to be a very fundemental issue which should have been overcome by now.

    spencerp, you’ve really been a great help through all this and I really do appreciate you taking as much as you have.
    Thank you!

    Now that I’ve deleted the post the alignment is fine. So I guess I can have WordPress, I just can’t use it.

    I admit that I could be doing something wrong but you’ve made it simple enough for a child to do it. If I’ve taken the 2 files you gave me and uploaded them into the /themes/default folder what part of that did I screw up?

    I’m very sorry to say that it didn’t work. I uploaded both files to /wp-content/themes/default and seeing that I did overwrite the existing files. Am I working on the wrong directory? I know the theme I’ve chosen is default.

    Ok, I was able to find a work around and I edited header.php, footer.php, but I can’t find the specific lines in stylesheet.css. Also, the changes that I did make had no affect.

    The first problem I encountered was that even after chmoding to 777 the control panel would not let me save. So I figured I’d just take header.php and edit it in Dreamweaver. Now I’m not seeing the specific lines of code you referred to.
    I understand that this problem exists regardless of which theme I use. Should I not be editing in /wp-content/themes/default or might I have a more recent version?

    I reduced it to 15×10 and still no luck.
