Thanks for the very clear exposition. This should be simple. Not that I know the answer. Its just calling up that variable in the header isnt it? My point is to encourage you. This is not a big deal. We shouldnt let it deter us. WPMU lite rocks. 🙂 I can see a lot of folk using this. One line of thought is to switch style.css to style.php. That gives a lot more power and flexibility where you need it.

Well that guy is way over the bleeding edge of WP hackery. This may not be the right place. But its going to be in the CSS.

I use a proper text editor. Then it is just copy and paste. I keep off all the inline tools.

Well that is true. But in a proper theme – certainly a publicly available one – it shouldn’t be in an image at all.

In my experience of this the whole export / import malarkey is hit and miss. I can not offer a solution. But a search here will show you are not alone. The export is very much *a work in progress*. The last one I did for a client I used WP 2.3 alpha. Not flawless. But pretty good.

The link needs to go to the WP blog and the theme in question. Live. Not what it looked like in html before it got screwed up. Not a jpg. The thing. Working. Or ideally broken so that we can see it and read the code. That is what we do.

You do know that you can now export from admin?

Just set them up in the CSS as backrounds to the various dohickeys.

Use something like .meta h4 {background: #fff url(icons/icon.gif’) left repeat-no}
