Add this to functions.php (registers the footer widgets)

<footer id="colophon" role="contentinfo">
http://pastebin.com/Ntq8yEFRAdd this to style.css
http://pastebin.com/jQHRzr8RNow you have 3 footer widget areas
My free child theme has footer widgets and a few extras if you want to use that http://zeaks.org/general/twenty-plus-lite-twenty-twelve-child-theme/

In reply to: [Twenty Twelve] How to add a border around posts and pages?The first code above would put a border around each post but only if it’s front page template, this will for normal posts
.site-content article { border: 1px solid #000000; }

In reply to: [Twenty Twelve] How to add a border around posts and pages?Thanks Phillip. I started off setting the site background transparent, set the content white and added padding and went from there. The menu was a bit of work to keep it looking ok for some devices, I think I have it all working properly now.
You can view the stylesheet in the source of my site.
This page for example.

In reply to: Skewed images on the homepageIf you don’t have a plugins tab in your admin section, you either don’t have permissions to use it, or your designer has disabled the link.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Skewed images on the homepageDepends how the image was added and if there is an image size for it. How are those blocks created? Do they show up automatically when you create a new post?
If they do, there’s probably an image size for them, then you could use http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ajax-thumbnail-rebuild/
Sometimes when switching to a new theme, the image sizes needed for areas liek this haven’t been created, and will only be created for newly uploaded images. This plugin will scan your media and make images sizes needed for the theme (if the image size is there)
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Skewed images on the homepageThe images used in those blocks are not resized properly. For example, the middle images with the two girls is actually this image http://originalmineral.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/photo1.png which is 670px × 911px and scaled to 236px × 150px.
Basically you’ve taken an image that is normally taller than it is wide, and made it wider than it is tall.
I’m not great with images and I don’t know how those have been added (manually or some sort of post thumbnail) but it’ll need to be cropped and resized to fit the dimensions in that block.
If there is an image size for it in functions, you could use ajax rebuild thumbnails plugin to create the image size needed.

In reply to: Skewed images on the homepageMaybe a quick fix, need a website address to look at it though.

In reply to: [Twenty Twelve] [Theme: Twenty Twelve] Disappointed!!!!!No it won’t throw the responsive layout off. I’m not 100% sure what browsers use REM over PX, but I think they will use whatever is in the child theme over what is in the parent theme anyways.
So there’s no need to use rem values in your child theme as far as I can see.
Here’s an article that helped me understand a few things about Twenty Twelve. http://voodoopress.com/modify-the-width-of-the-new-wordpress-twenty-twelve-theme/
This is my own Twenty Twelve child theme which doesn’t use any REM and it works fine on mobile http://zeaks.org

In reply to: [Twenty Twelve] [Theme: Twenty Twelve] Disappointed!!!!!– It took forever to be released
– It’s plain looking
– It doesn’t have any options
– It only has 1 sidebar
– It only has 1 layout
– It only has 1 menuThat’s one way of looking at it, another way might be
– You can do so much with this theme since it lacks any fancy styles
– It’s great as is or as a base to create your own theme
– You can learn a lot by adding sidebars, menus and widget areas yourself
– The thousands of WordPress tutorials on the internet explaining how to edit themes will finally be useful to you
– It’s well coded
– It works on mobile devices
– It’s Free!You don’t have to use rem values in your child theme
You don’t have to worry about it not working on mobile unless you don’t follow the coding.
The mobile first approach is confusing at first, but it’s really just a matter of adding a bit of extra CSS to keep it working on any device.Plus, it’ll give me something to post about on my own site when I make all kinds of child themes with extra widgets, menus, and sidebars for people that don’t want to do it themselves. 🙂

In reply to: [Twenty Eleven] Where do I find what is new with version 1.5?That is not the changelog for Twenty Eleven, it’s a changelog for a child theme of mine from last year.
A lot of people are asking to see the changelog, I haven’t found them yet either.

In reply to: Would updates to unactivated themes affect my Regulus theme?No, updating those themes won’t affect Regulus theme.
If it were a child theme of any of those it might, but you always have the option revert back to a previous version.Just don’t update Regulus if you’ve made changes to it.

In reply to: [Twenty Twelve] How to add a border around posts and pages?Right, use the second example I posted to your stylesheet. Unless you’re making drastic changes, you can usually do most modifications through CSS.
I just finished a Twenty Twelve child theme for my own website http://zeaks.org/ and it’s almost all CSS.

In reply to: [Twenty Twelve] How to add a border around posts and pages?I’m not sure if you mean the entire light color background, or the actual post area of that page.
This will put a border around the post area of the front page
.template-front-page .site-content article { border: 3px solid #333; }This will put a border around the entire page area, there’s already box-shadow on it
body .site { border: 3px solid #333; }Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Twenty Twelve] Changed Files in Version 1.1I wouldn’t mind knowing this as well, I couldn’t find a changelog anywhere.
