    I’m getting it…but definitely not fast. I have absolutely no experience in CSS, just some in HTML, so this is all new to me. I’m sure we’ll “talk” again soon moshu.

    thx.

    Ok…so the reason my changes to the CSS in the Theme Editor didn’t save before was because I failed to CHMOD before modifying?

    moshu…Let me clarify because I’ve been trying to make CSS changes in the Theme Editor…

    1. CHMOD ‘style.css’ to 666
    2. Then make changes offline in Dreamweaver
    3. CHMOD back to 644
    4. FTP changes

    I just tried this one:

    The other method is to position the content literally “off the page” with positioning. Here is an example:

    h1 {position: absolute;
    font-size: 0;
    left: -1000px; }

    This technique moves the entire h1 tag and its contents physically off the web page. The screen reader will still “read” the text because it is there, but it will not display on the page.

    …I’ve asked this question before but received no response…how do you get changes to CSS to stick. I just tried modifying the CSS, viewed the site, and no changes. Then I went back to the code that I modfied and it’s reverted back to the original code? Since there is no save button…what saves the changes to CSS?

    spencerp/moshu…where exactly would I add this code to make my header a link?

    <a>/">
    <div id="headerimg"></div></a>

    Excuse my ignorance…but I made changes to the default font and color in the style.css as follows, yet when I go back to view the site no changes have been made?

    font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */

    font-family: ‘Verdana’, Lucida Grande, Arial, Sans-Serif;

    background-color: #d5d6d7;

    color: #444;

    text-align: center;

    Also, what’s the proper way to “save” css changes since there is no formal save button. I’ve tried modifying the CSS, then gone back and the changes didn’t stick.

    Thanks.

    NO FCKG WAY!!! Are you kidding me…that’s all it was! Man, this CSS has me and many others overlooking the straight-forward solutions.

    Much thanks srikat.

    One more thing…do you know where to access the “about” text? It’s not in the options section?

    Has anyone else besides moshu removed the blog name and description from the Kubrick header? If so, can you enlighten me…

    I’m using the WordPress default theme (Kubrick)…all I want to do is remove the blog name and add my own image…can anyone help?

    I figured this would be a common modfication to the default WP theme…

    It’s on this site: http://binarybonsai.com/wordpress/kubrick/

    Q: How do I remove the blog name and description in the header? My header image already has all that…

    A: The best way of doing this, is to open wp-layout.css. Find the first entries you can find for ‘H1’ and ‘.description’. Now add ‘display: none;’ to the values in there. The reason for doing it this way, and not by simply deleting the code in index.php, is that this way around, it will degrade gracefully if an old browser happens to drop by.

    Cypher…I’m using 2.02…maybe the instructions I found are for an older version of WP. I’m assuming I make the CSS changes in the ‘style.php’ page?

    Liverpool…I don’t want to move the blog name, I want to delete it because I’m adding my own header image.

    Thanks samboll…seems like an obvious solution…and it worked! One more thing…I’m trying to get rid of the blog name and description in the header and found these directions:

    “The best way of doing this, is to open wp-layout.css. Find the first entries you can find for ‘H1’ and ‘.description’. Now add ‘display: none;’ to the values in there.”

    Would the example below be the the first entry for ‘H1’ in the stylesheet?

    h1, h2, h3 {
    font-family: ‘Trebuchet MS’, ‘Lucida Grande’, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
    font-weight: bold;
    }

    h1 {
    font-size: 4em;
    text-align: center;
    }

    OR IS THIS IT

    h1, h1 a, h1 a:hover, h1 a:visited, #headerimg .description {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: white;
    }

    If one of those is corrent, where would I add ‘display: none;’?

    Concerning the header I went into the header.php and made the following changes:

    #header { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/personalheader.jpg”) no-repeat bottom center;

    Then I checked the site again and still no new header? This is a dumb question…but when you change the CSS should it save itself upon modification, because there is no “save” button? I’m not sure what else is wrong.

    To clarify…I need to CHMOD the “wp-content” folder to 777? Currently the settings are 755…do I need to leave the settings at 777 or change back to 755 after saving.

    When that is done, should I then create an “images” folder in “wp-content” to store my images?

    Thanks samboll…that worked!
