In reply to: Buttons and Header Graphic?Thanks spencerp. For some weird reason the “backtick” deal gets wonky for me every so often.
dragon27, I don’t see that there would be much of a problem hard-coding an image in the #headerimg div. It should work as you expect. Give it a whirl. If you have any problems let me knnow.
Thanks for the notice vkaryl. I guess I could hard code a link to a page with a normal loop and exclude it from the wp_list_pages function. Oh well.

In reply to: Buttons and Header Graphic?Ignore that last “backtick”. I seem to be having trouble posting code at the moment.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Buttons and Header Graphic?This is very simple via CSS. In your header.php file (and depending what theme your using) you could execute it like so:
<div id="headerimg">
<a href="http://www.link.to.whatever.com"></a>
</div>And in your style.css you can make the roll over like so:
#headerimg {
height:100px;
width:100px;
background-image: url(http://your-site.com/images/header-logo.jpg);
}#headerimg a {
height:100px;
width:100px;
display: block;
}#headerimg a:hover {
background-image: url(http://your-site.com/images/header-logo_over.jpg);

In reply to: Custom Theme ProblemKafkaesqui, where exactly should your solution be placed? I’ve put it in the loop as follows with no success:
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php
if (is_home()) {
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts("cat=-6&paged=$paged");
}
?>
<?php else : ?>I’m assuming that
cat=-6' will exclude the cat. Any advice would be appreciated. BTW my loop starts out as follows:<?php query_posts(‘cat=1,2,3,4,5,7&showposts=1’); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>`This is something I’ve had a problem with as well. My custom loop starts with:
<?php query_posts('cat=1,2,3,4,5,7&showposts=1'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>None of the post navigation tags works for me either. Any ideas out there?

In reply to: Side MenuThis might help get you started. A short intro to CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). This excerpt is from:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp
"Styles Solve a Common ProblemHTML tags were originally designed to define the content of a document. They were supposed to say "This is a header", "This is a paragraph", "This is a table", by using tags like <h1>, , <table>, and so on. The layout of the document was supposed to be taken care of by the browser, without using any formatting tags.
As the two major browsers - Netscape and Internet Explorer - continued to add new HTML tags and attributes (like the <font> tag and the color attribute) to the original HTML specification, it became more and more difficult to create Web sites where the content of HTML documents was clearly separated from the document's presentation layout.
To solve this problem, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) - the non profit, standard setting consortium, responsible for standardizing HTML - created STYLES in addition to HTML 4.0.
All major browsers support Cascading Style Sheets."

In reply to: Feedback please – new film review siteOne criticizm would be (and this is just nit-picky since the site looks excellent) to put a little space between the post body (left column) and the sidebar, equal to the padding on the left and right of the wrapper (looks like 10px). I would also recommend giving this gap a color other than white to help for a smooth transition between the large header blocks.

In reply to: Feedback please – new film review siteGreat looking site! A+. Clean and easy to navigate. Great use of greyscale with color. What forum software are you using?

In reply to: uhmm How can I use a template I made onto WordPress?My previous post still stands. I don’t see any reason for slicing. To be sure that we are talking about the same “slicing”-taking an image into a editing application and slicing it into smaller pieces and then reasembling it using tables in html.
Take that top header (old site) image and make it the background image on your WP site. Then use css to style your main content div and sidebar div accordingly. As far as the transparent menu at the top of that image is concerned, position a div above the bg image and put a transparent white .png file as the background.

In reply to: Next and Previous Links are ReversedI definitely agree with that logic. Maybe past and future don’t make my argument very clear. I bring this up because so often I have found it unintuitive when using this navigation structure. I’m always clicking the wrong link. Maybe thinking about it in terms of a book. You start at the first page and then navigate to the right to get to the next page that the first page has lead you to. For me, on a blog, the same relationship exists.
It could also be in the semantics. Next equals newer to me and previous equals older. Thus making my original argument more sound.
It is all very tricky though. I will do your experiment. I want to try it on someone who’s first language is Hebrew as they read from right to left.

In reply to: uhmm How can I use a template I made onto WordPress?What psd are talking about. When I went to the first link above, the only image that is there (the only one which couldn’t be done with css that is) is the header. Not sure why you would need to slice it up. Just put the image in your new site’s header as is. What am I missing?

In reply to: Why are my posts disappearing from my site?There is also one at the bottom from:
visit.webhosting.yahoo.com
This seems to be, in effect, closing the the errant
<noscript />that starts with the one I mentioned above (geocities). So basiaclly, get rid of these (at least the geocities) and I’m thinking you will be able to see all of your content again.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Why are my posts disappearing from my site?The script that is killig everything is from geocities. Do you have any plugins or adds that have something to do with geocities. If so, get rid of them and see if that does the trick.
Also, update your site link in your profile, it’s missing “.com”. And place a link in a post to your site to make it easier for others to help. Let us know if this works.
