In reply to: word press theme problemTx. If you take a moment and think thru what a search tool needs to do you will start to see the challenge more clearly. The interesting extra fun is that the data is in mysql. That and the search function together make it a very high level task.

In reply to: Twenty Ten BorderFor the purpose of getting yr head to look at this the right way, lets stop referring to it – even mentally – as a border, which in CSS terms it is not.
What you need are images for top and bottom. Slot them in the correct containers in CSS. Then use a tile for the sides.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Add background image to Equilibrium themeYr page wrapper has a div id called #page-wrap. Put yr image in there. Make a wide slim tile of the right dimensions and tile it vertically…………

In reply to: Add a Div in the HeaderTo get it on top there is no need to mess with z index. Put yr new div so it is nested inside the one yr logo is in. But u do need to learn some CSS.

In reply to: Child themes: Best practices for styling CSS?For myself I think it is a great mistake, very frustrating and extremely time consuming hunting down how the parent css styles elements. I just style my stuff from a to z in the usual way. I think yr question and challenge is more about learning how css cascades and how descendant selectors work……this is not easy on a well developed css. Why not set up a small web page locally and start learning some CSS from scratch. It’s faster and clearer outside the WP environment. Learning the selectors is the most important bit.
Secondly although you are committed to child themes some practise / reorganising the CSS in the parent theme as a seperate exercise is very useful to learn how it all works. CSS has a number of different Conventions – non of which are mandatory. The default WP theme takes up 1374 lines and that is a lot of hunting. It is also broken down by sections or zones on the page rather than style functionality. You can easily break it down into more manageable chunks. I use @import a lot now which also keeps CSS reuseable…….I have quite a full WP CSS library which I can mix n match now. Lastly for practise / home use I extensively comment my own CSS. It tells me what I have done; and somehow writing the comment seems to make me think about the optimum structure.
If u want to move into bleeding edge high end tools some of us are beginning to use SASS which is a command line CSS development tool. You can google it. Tricky to get yr head round but very cool once you get going.
Lastly Firefox has another plugin called Edit CSS which lets u test changes and see the results on the fly before u commit them.
HTH. Good luck.

In reply to: Can WordPress be propritory ?To answer the OP the terms of the GPL are contained in the GPL. If I – or anybody else – tell you what I think they mean we are expressing a personal opinion not making a statement of law. Whether a plugin is a derivative work or is identifiable section of that work not derived from the program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves; and in particular plugins or indeed themes which are not distributed as bundled with WP to which the GPL and derivative works undoubtedly applies; but are in fact distributed as “separate works” is a highly controversial subject and quite rightly one which is outside the scope of this forum. It is fair to say that many people have very well informed views on this subject. It is also true that many of them disagree. I like to always bear in mind that the very purpose of the GPL is to confer – indeed guarantee – freedoms to the user. The user includes, you, me, and anybody else including theme and plugin developers. I understand the GPL stops anyone licensing and / or patenting a deriviative of WP.

In reply to: Can WordPress be propritory ?Rich I am not sure what u mean by “hosted here on WordPress.org”. Plugins are downloadable code they don’t need hosting.
