In reply to: What data will be lost without a child theme?backing up the theme is one thing
backing up the mysql data is another
incidentally if u develop yr wp blog locally using a server on yr own comp the theme is always backed up anyway
for mysql back up there are plugins, but u can export from admin direct too……or go into phpmyadmin if u feel comfortable………..
but it is a good thing to be doing very regularly…….Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: What data will be lost without a child theme?good luck………..once yr done at the template level u can create further child themes just with a new style.css – it can use templates from another theme.its cool how it all fits together………….or u can use functions.php for theme specific php overrides and leave yr templates intact…….

In reply to: Html5 and CSS3 themeyr roadmap if u like for yr skillset is css, html then php……….u can do a lot in functions.php without editing the theme itself too….or u can just edit templates…………..either way keep yr theme u start with intact, copy it and maybe run a new theme or child theme off its parent………..on an upgrade wp can overwrite the default theme……..there is a great community here and a ton of docs in the codex………..it can be heavy going but it is all in there somewhere.

In reply to: What data will be lost without a child theme?yes it will……………i am not nit picking but data is posts and stuff in the database – they will be safe
plus yr theme edits will be safe too
on an aggressive upgrade wp overwrites the default theme
all other themes u have are untouched………..
so we always keep the default untouched
then we copy it
then maybe copy that depending on what we are doing……..
in my first pass i fix the css the way i like it
in my second if i alter templates i keep a changelog and comment heavily in the files
its just about being organised
not only are u safe from upgrades but bits of css / templates are reuseable………Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: how to edit and style postmetadataits probably in yr template called single.php ………..just edit it in there……….but it might be best to save the whole theme first,

In reply to: Why isn't this div showing?there is no need to use the huge margin; thats the point of the float;
float the 2 divs side by side, one left; one right; make sure u clear the floats after.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Why isn't this div showing?I notice yr div#media is nested inside yr php if conditional.

In reply to: Html5 and CSS3 themeYou can use as much JS as u like. WP is fitted with JQuery and Scriptaculous anyway and u can add anything else u need.

In reply to: Borders around postsYou said that a selector is not in the CSS. Well you can add it of course.
Its not made easier by the excessive markup in the theme.
