If you’re editing the style.css inside WordPress, make sure that the file is writable and being saved.

Font-family is the correct value to change, but even if you set that for one element, a later declaration may override it. Take a look at the CSS-related links here: Know Your Source

From your style.css (cleaned up by putting each declaration on a new line):

#wrap {
width: 100%;
min-width: 600px;
max-width: 800px;
background:  transparent;
color: #333;
font-size: 11px;
font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
margin: 0 0 0 320px;
padding: 0;}

Your posts and sidebar are inside the #wrap div. Currently, its left margin is set to 320px (the final number in the margin declaration), which means that its content will always be 320 pixels from the left edge. However, you have width declarations. The min-width setting is forcing the #wrap div to always be at least 600 pixels wide, even if the browser window is smaller than that.

A fluid (or liquid) layout in web design means that at least part of the content of a page varies in size depending on the size of the browser window (namely the width). Basically, by adding the min-width declaration, you removed the fluidity from your theme.

The margin, width, min-width, max-width declarations are the ones you’ll have to tweak. I’d drop the min- and max- width declarations.

And, I’d definitely drop the left margin of 320 pixels as this would make your theme much more friendly to normal sized monitors (i.e., 1024 pixel width).

Consider using Firefox with the Firebug extension. That extension allows you to inspect the CSS style of any element and turn off specific declarations.

Thanks, Ivovic. I was too fast on the “copy” trigger. Here is what I meant:

/* This variable is for alternating comment background */
  $oddcomment = "alt";

If one is following the default theme’s method, then it should be $oddcomment = ‘class=”alt” ‘;. And, when the$oddcomment` variable is switched, here:

/* Changes every other comment to a different class */
$oddcomment = ( empty( $oddcomment ) ) ? 'class="alt" ' : '';

Then, the 'class="alt" ' needs to match what one originally set as the $oddcomment variable.

Based on the OP’s settings, the alternating classes would work, just only on the third, fifth, etc., comment entries.

Sounds like an incompatible theme or plugin.

I followed the feed links in your sidebar. The files are being generated. They are there. All is not lost! The problem is that RSS feeds use the XML format which is very particular about white spaces at the top of the document.

If you follow the feed links in Firefox, it outputs:

`XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Location: http://www.impressionsthroughmedia.com/wp-rss.php
Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?><!– generator=”WordPress/2.5.1″ –>`

Looking at the source of the feed, there is a blank line at the top of the feed file. That blank line is the culprit for why your feed aren’t working. But it is only a symptom of another problem.

HandySolo from months ago:

Have a look through your wp-config.php, plugins and/or your theme’s function.php files.

In all cases, there should be no spaces or blank lines before the opening <?php tag. Also in all cases there should be no spaces or blank lines after the final ?> as well.

The extra line is also showing up in the source of your homepage and you mentioned that you just changed themes, so I’d check your current theme’s functions.php first.

and I would like to use it on my header title. Where would I do this?

You can’t. CSS defines the local fonts to use. If a user doesn’t have the font you specified, a default font is used: times roman or sans serif or courier, etc.

If the font is that cool, create an image for your masthead. And, if the font isn’t open source or freeware, make sure you paid for it.

Use the conditional tag is_user_logged_in() (it’s found in wp-includes/pluggable.php) to check if a user is logged in or not. E.g.,

if (is_user_logged_in()) {
 // Logout Link
} else {
 // Log-in Link
}

Just promise that these image links have alt attributes for those who use screenreaders and such, okay?

Did you know that WP allows you to create pages? If not, read through Using Pages.

From what I can tell, that’s essentially what you’re wanting to do.
