In reply to: customising appearance of loop on front pagejust a thought, do i need to be looking at altering the css, the loop.php or something else?

In reply to: reducing the gap between a dividing line and a post summaryi assume in the css i’d be looking through the content section for margins, padding and hr values? (i’m still very much a beginner, so not too confident at some of this)
i can’t find any excessive values that seem to fix the problem. like i say, i only noticed the issue when i added a divider in the loop.php.
i don’t remember modifying that would have done this. i’ve just used the basic twentyten theme and added or altered things gradually. thank you for your time by the way, it is much appreciated.

In reply to: reducing the gap between a dividing line and a post summaryjust to clarify, i added the dividing line by placing
<hr />at the end of the loop in my loop.phpi’m guessing i need to alter something in that template to get rid of the extra space?

In reply to: creating a page to display custom loopwell, i was going to test the loop code out on my test page, but yes, eventually i’m planning on having the custom loop on my front page.
to do this, i was going to create a custom page template, add the loop code to this template, then set the this page as my static home page. am i along the right lines? am i even making sense anymore? haha 🙂
this is proving to be the most difficult part of my site to get right! borders, colours etc are easy to alter with only a minimum of knowledge, but loops are really getting my brain in a twist!
(i’d probably better mention now, i don’t actually have any loop code yet, i was planning on getting a standard loop code working first, then altering it bit by bit to get it looking how i want!)

In reply to: creating a page to display custom loopha, well spotted. i wondered why the styles weren’t working, but i haven’t got an eye for these things yet. it will come with practice i’m sure! thank you.
as i said, i am very much a beginner. i’ve fixed my test page now.
if i wanted to add a loop to this page, would i just need to add some loop code into the custom page template? i’m trying to work out from the http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts page how it all works, but i don’t know which templates to put the loop code into.
i’m sure once i manage to include a loop on my test page, i can work out the rest, little by little from there. apologies for the exceptional newbieness!
