see curioso’s post above that indicates what lines of code need to be replaced. I was having the same issue and it worked for me.

there was a period of time where tables were used as THE way to create layout in designs and so people don’t know any different. Tables are *intended* for data, like ms excel.
There has been a fight, quiet at first, now quickly gaining strength for CSS. This is meant to separate design from content. Everything you can do with a table, you can do 5 times better with CSS … and there are things that you CANT do with tables that you can with CSS. The way WP is setup, it’s really not practical to use tables. If you are barely familiar with CSS or simply dont want to mess with it you can find styles that work with WP out of the box here: http://www.alexking.org/index.php?content=software/wordpress/styles.php
There is also a plethora of CSS resources on the web (do a google search), and one book i highly reccommend is Eric Myers’ “CSS, The Definitive Guide” … its a great teaching aide for beginners and wonderful reference for those that know they know it, but just cant seem to remember what that syntax is or what it does.

nah … i’ve only met a few REAL morons in my short life. it took me a while to pay attention and realize you could change the text. it took me even longer to figure out that the preview option is what puts a photo in post on the main page. ; )

why are you putting personal information in your posts?
you’re like 25, a former student of ACU and now enrolled withTSTC majoring in DESIGN TECHNOLOGY. You live in abilene, are single … and i even know that you have hazel eyes.
Now, if you dont have the common sense NOT to provide your information in posts or insecure forums/conversations/etc. then you deserve every form of the supposed ‘harrassment’ you’ve received. maybe you should learn from this lesson and move on.

umm …yea … i set my permalinks up with yyyy/mm/post-id and it works fine.
possibly before you were messing around with the permalinks and forgot to update your .htaccess?

while the concept is pretty unique and groovy, it’s also annoying. if i had no idea what clicking the bottles would do, i would be utterly confused. and i have to click back just to change the theme.
adding a style switcher on the actual blog would greatly reduce the annoyance factor, so that at least i can try out the different styles with relative ease.
i’m also not much of a fan for splash pages, the over-used relic of the late 90’s and early 00’s. but that’s simply a personal thing … a ‘love/hate’ issue, never ‘sort of like’ 😉
ultimately you’re going to do what you want with it (at least i would hope so, you’re paying for it) and this is merely my personal take on it.
on a less cynical note, i do indeed like the content, layout, and design !
