Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Header & FooterAnyone can guide me on how to add in my “Subscription Form” into my Sidebar below the “Site” Menuheader? (Not inside the Menuheader).
Also, I would like to centralise the “Search Form” to look better above the “Page” menuheader.
Grateful for any help provided.
Thanks.
Cheers

In reply to: Change position width of sidebar and main contentHi,
I don’t know whether this can help you out or not.
But basically I changed my blog’s width from 760px to 920px so I had to change the corresponding sidebar’s width and content’s width to match.
Here’s how I did it.

Hope this can help you out.

In reply to: Extending WidthI cannot say for sure this is the answer.
I extended the width of my whole blog and as such needs to also extend the sidebar and “content side” (the panel of the left where you write).
What I did to extend the content side was change the width of the Post Styling from the initially 555px to 600px.
/* Post Styling */
#content
{
float: left;
margin: 20px 0;
padding:0 0 0 1em;
background: #fff;
width: 600px;I don’t know whether this is what you are asking as I’m a newbie myself.
Cheers

In reply to: Header & FooterHi, I’ve done the Header.
Not the best that I can do, but I think it is good enough to blend into my website.
Now I need to put in the subscription form into the sidebar.

In reply to: Header & FooterThanks for the reply.
I am pleased to report that there is progress in my blog.
What I have done is this;
I have installed several themes and tested them out. Since my website header is generally dark in nature, I opted to use “Neuron 1.1” which is dark blue in nature.
The width for Neuron was 760px so what I did was used the “Theme Editor” from the Admin/Presentation, go to “style.css” and changed the width under “#rap” to 920px under /* Body and Rap Styling */. This resulted in the width of the blog to increase both sides which is what I wanted.
Next I modified the width of the sidebar to 260px from 180px under /* Sidebar Styling */. To make it look neater, I modified the full_sidetitle images (both png and gif) using Photoshop from 175px to 255 px, FTP it to replace the earlier ones so it covered the length of the sidebar. (It’s the blue blackground where the “headings” like Pages; Categories, Calendar, etc.)
Having settled the sidebar, I next go on to the Content side. The original fonts was Times Roman I think, so I changed that to Verdana to suit my website by adding “font-family: Verdana;” under #content in /* Post Styling */. The result was just what I wanted but the text where you have the date, time and poster overshot the middle part of the background image which doesn’t look nice. So increasing the width from 555px to 600px under #content in /* Post Styling */ solved the problem.
After that I decided to work on the Footer. I opened up Footer.php, copy all the codes and transferred it to the code view of Microsoft Frontpage. I than replaced all the codes with the codes of my own footer in between these original codes.
<hr />
<p id=”footer”>
.
.
.
.
</div>
</body>
</html>The result came out but with a lot of mess so I took the time to remove the codes for the tables, paragraphings, etc to tidy up the footer. For the images, I linked it from my website instead of FTP them into my Word Press files. So now my Footer has my copyright statement, like my website, the banners and links are all neatly in place. You can compare the footer from my original site and my blog.

http://www.thaivisitor.org/blogI will be working on my Header next, much the same way as my Footer and will let you guys know the result.
Anyway, my intention of posting is to share with everyone here that it is not as difficult as it looks or sound. I am totally a newbie, have never done a blog before, does not know html, css or php or any codes but with some reading, common sense, I am able to get to my blog up and I believe any newbie can also do that.
