  • one concept:
    1) create a page with a new ” links ” template
    2) in admin > design > widgets > current widgets drop down = you can select your new links template and then install the links/blogroll widget. note: in my theme i have a functions.php that places templates in the current widget drop down menu.

    Well, you could use two different categories…

    by “two different categories” you mean = can i have two different categories (two unique ID’s) with the same name ” donuts ” in wp and without losing parent – child relationships ?

    i “quickly” read this section and at first glance this may not be enough.

    let’s say i have a category ” donuts ” with an ID = 301. i wish to see it served up two ways. as a list layout. as a tile/grid layout. can i call 301 up two ways? or, do i have to have two ” donuts ” ID’s?

    if my answer is in the page you suggested please ask me to read deeper.

    chrisber, where were you two months ago?! πŸ˜‰

    after saurus’s suggestion i went back to css, html structure and learned the heading system. also learned a bit more about pseudo-element selectors and inheritance.

    appreciate you calling the h7 thing out as i did not…

    after a great deal of READING this works! …

    .footer {
    	color: #B7B7B7; /* 11/21/08 # FF00FF fushia!  */
    	font-family: Didot, Georgia, serif;
    	font-weight: lighter; /* work!  */
    	font-size: 1em;
    	line-height: 1em;
    	margin: 0 0 1em;
    }
    .footer a  {
    	color: #B7B7B7;
    	text-decoration: none;
    }
    .footer a:hover {
     	color: #B7B7B7;
    	font-weight: lighter;
            text-decoration: underline;
    }

    thanks saurus for heading me in right direction.

    to answer an earlier question, yes you can have auto – entered recent posts / whatever, in front of your blog.

    1) one of my sites needed custom programming.

    2) another i was able to just ” copy ” the code for ” recent posts / most popular posts ” from a menu originally set up for the side bar in the blog.

    the 1) example is a bit more complicated to share right now. the 2) example i copied code from index.php code where on my theme recent posts resides and pasted it into a new php template that acts as a ” menu page ” in front of the blog.

    i put the recent posts code in a sidebar via this plugin = http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/

    here is the blog = http://designapplause.com

    the “fusia” text is p-class and the links are default. note: i am only using fusia so i can better “see” what i am doing…admittedly the comment links show an underline in the rest state but we want the footer links to behave like headline links with underlines only in hover state.

    i tried this but it does not work…

    .footer {
      a:link, a:visited {
        color:#FF00FF;  /* 11/22/08 fushia!  */
        text-decoration: none;
        }
    	a:hover {
        color: #FF00FF;
        text-decoration: underline;
    	line-height: 150%;
        }
    	a:active, a:focus {
        color: #FF00FF;
        text-decoration: none;
        }

    ok, this code works beautifully for the text that is not a link. thanks saurus.

    however this causes the linky text in the footer to go to the default css for “a” tag.

    i have not successfully written code for an alternate “a” style within a newly created class. again, i don’t mind if the hover state is default, but the all others i need to control and i only want the underline to appear when i mouse over.

    i am not familiar with your theme. put try this. write > page

    put a title in a new page. write a sentence in the text area. hit “publish.” and see what happens. tabs usually appear in alpha order.

    moving tab titles around in the tab bar is a little more complicated and requires coding.

    this is a very powerful plugin. try it…

    i am jumping in on this thread in case someone has the answer. ; -)

    there are cms engines that have modules for this sort of thing. finding a good wp user profile feature has been tough at this end. sorry i could not be of help.

    someone told me to do the following…

    “I’d never really noticed it until you said something. After doing a little research it seems to be an accessibility feature built-in Firefox for the handicapped that can’t use a mouse, it allows them to see which link is highlighted. But if you want to just disable it on your top header link then you add this to your .headerlink class in your stylesheet outline-style: none;
    I would really recommend only disabling it on your header to leave your site as accessible as possible.”

    it works as stated above.

    since i commented on this post a day or so ago i did put several ip addresses in the blacklist because they are submitting a lot of what looks like trackbacks, not comments. well, i just noticed that they are back today. akismet caught them. does that mean coming from inside? i did look at my db two weeks ago on another issue but did not notice anything while lurking around.

    also, the last last 2-3 months of spam here most are formatted in a similar fashion = 20-40 links, flush left, one link per line. it does not matter what ip it comes from but the layout suggests same source or copycats.

    the blacklist thing though is bothersome.

    yes! it works. here is new code…

    in HEADER.PHP

    <div id="masthead"><a href="http://www.domain.com" id="headerlink"></a>
    </div>

    in STYLE.CSS

    #headerlink{  /*  clickable works!  11/21/08  */
    display: block;
    border-style: none;  /* black border in ff */
    height: 55px;
    width: 700px;
    margin: 0;
    }

    only small detail in FF is when i click on image i get a small border ( black dotted ) that i don’t get on other clickables.
