  • Footer Columns

    Is your footer supposed to be 100% of the browser window, or 100% of the 960px? If you want the footer background to expand 100% of the browser window you can set the footer width to 100%, then within that use a containing div with a fixed width of…

  • Responsive theme for wordpress

    WordPress does work quite the same way with parent/child themes. If you are looking for a responsive bare-bones theme for WordPress I would suggest starting with Skeleton (http://www.simplethemes.com/blog/entry/skeleton-wordpress-theme). From there …

  • What´s the best way to learn wordpress

    Yep - it's really the best way to learn. :) Jumping right in and getting knee deep into the code and if you have a basic understanding of PHP you should be able to get fairly far to start. Also, the codex is super valuable as a reference or for…

  • Simple question (newbie here): How do I nudge the lists a bit to the right?

    More than likely you will need to add a left margin to either the main ul or it's child li's. Can't give you an exact number, or even help you target the ul by class/id since I'd need to see your actual code. Any chance of gettin…

  • wordpress posts per page

    Perhaps using a filtering mechanism? For example for a site we gave users a few options to sort the posts on the page (by recent posts, oldest, alphabetical, etc). So here is an example of how I did it for sorting a resource library: Put the code …

  • What´s the best way to learn wordpress

    Well, the way that I learned was to just jump right in. When you ask about learning WordPress - what portion are you actually talking about? The CMS itself? The templating system? Creating custom functions? Also aside from defining which part you r…

  • Real Estate Site (non MLS)

    It's very pretty. I do think though your large bg images in the content area may be a bit distracting with all the other imagery going on in the header and footer. The only thing that I reallly, really don't like is I think the nav on the …

  • How do I FIND & style certain Wordpress sections

    1. The search form is editable here: Search Form (searchform.php) and by CSS 2. If you mean the links wordpress adds automatically when you add a page it is listed as a list via the wp_list_pages function. Usually located in the sidebar.php file if…

    I wouldn't use pages. I would just write a regular post once a month. Then have wordpess limit to show just one post on the front page. Than clicking past would show a list (with excerpts?) of the past posts using the previous_posts_link functi…

  • [Solved] Problem with Myspace Banner

    With myspace you cannot change the HTML code that is outputted by myspaces default profile. Which unfortunately is a nested tables mess. You CAN change this by using a "div overlay" method where you basically hide all of the default myspac…

  • Another attempt at a CSS site

    The font on the banner doesn't quite match the background you are using. It's gritty and grungy, while you're using more of an americana type of theme - I'd go for those type of fonts. Your menu gradient background is much too p…

  • wordpress poll

    I use Wp-Polls. I used it when I had my visitors decide on my new design and it worked quite nice, EXCEPT, when I asked the people I worked with to vote they couldn't. Problem is we were all on the same network, so only one person could vote (a…

    I actually don't think you even need to add the container div around the image -- Try adding this to your CSS: table a img.imageBorder { padding:7px; background-color:#F5F4F2; border:1px solid #c8c8c7; float:left; mar…

    I don't this this will work, but did you try to make sure that font-weight is set to normal? Otherwise, what about trying a similar font family they may hold up better in IE? :/

  • This image border CSS won't work in IE...why?

    Hey there :) Well, #1 float:middle doesn't exist. You can float left or right. You have a link so we can see what's happening? There isn't anything wrong with your CSS (aside from the float), so I'm assuming you more than like…

  • Adding a blog to my website

    What type of database does your host support? Movable Type (used to, I think it still does) works with Berkley database and postreg sql. Or, you can use blogger and have it redirect to your domain (ie: yoursite.com/blog)

  • CSS font problem -.-

    IE6 often bolds a font when it's over 16/18px I have seen from random tests I have done when declaring font sizes for h1s etc. I think it just has something to do with the way that IE6 renders fonts at larger sizes. Try taking the font size dow…
