*whew* Yes, no cutting and pasting from email clients (especially crappy ones).

And when people are trying to help you on here and are telling you what is causing the problem… don’t proceed to declare to them what YOU really think the problem is… because if you knew that much YOU’D be the one on here helping other people.

Good Luck!

liferightnow :: I think you may be right, but it’s happening in multiple themes.

rizzyc :: Just because it was working before doesn’t mean you didn’t have a sleeping giant waiting to really mess things up when you make a subtle change. You need to look at the source of your site html (what you are sending to a viewing user’s browser)… it is full of div’s for every line of some of your posts… I even saw this ‘<div />’ and almost fell over… Terrible. It is possible that this was poorly formated html that you inadvertantly cut and pasted form an html-enabled hotmail message… let that be a lesson against using hotmail. 🙂 You need to know how to troubleshoot your own html if you want to modify a theme… and never cut and paste anything into an entry except for straight ascii text.

And seriously, your theme is not stock… it’s not unadulterated… whatever’s going on looks like someone has been trying to make changes without knowledge of what they’re doing. No offense, but if you don’t understand a lot of the lingo you see us using then you probably should consider befriending someone near you who is good with xhtml and css.

Both of these themes have something wrong. You should develop your theme in FireFox or Opera, not IE. If you look in FireFox, for both of these themes, the entire middle section did not have a background image styled… it’s just the solid background color. The headers and footers were fine, but the middle is not fine. I think there is a conflict somewhere with your CSS… Somewhere in the body of one of your entries you may have some code that is turning off an important tag (like a div).

Ok. That error is with your MySQL database and is independent of WordPress… otherwise you’d get that error for your whole blog. It is possible that you have not entered the correct DB login info into the config file of your gallery plugin (that’s assuming you edited the config file to begin with).

First do some research… then ask intelligent questions indicating you have gained some knowledge on your own.

“cos” we’re not here to spoon feed anybody 🙂

Well, you could go to websites that have tutorials on three-column design and what the CSS needs to look like.

However, after reviewing your website (which took too long to load… I have a cable connection and it almost took me 7 or 8 seconds… ) I would say that you would be better off reading some material on web design THEORY and the principles of good web presentation.

junasis :: You should think of what you are posting as being the main column (which is often the center column). Think of any extra columns as being a sidebar and a navbar (as they are often referred to). The sidebar is part of WordPresses native functionality and you use it simply by calling its function in php, get_sidebar(). If you want to add a third column you can make your own file, similar to sidebar.php, and include it with either a php include function or a cutom made get_navbar() function. In order to get the columns to appear correctly the key is to have a good cascading stylesheet! There are several examples of this everywhere… I always like to point people to positioniseverything.net for help with columns in CSS.

You can check out my website for an idea of what 3 columns can be… my site has an expanding center column with a minimum width that will fill any browser and is cross-browser compatible.

If I have totally lost you let me know.
