Wahoo! My first WP site from absolute scratch!

[alliwagner]

Hey all,

as stated in the title, this is my very first design/build of a WordPress powered site:

http://www.headleycommunity.org

Any and all feedback/criticism is greatly appreciated.

One thing I know I need to take care of off the bat is I need to figure out a way to add a link to the "blog" section in the navigation (which are actually just the pages styled). I havent been able to figure this out yet (my only solution has been to link the entire header to the index where the blog resides)

Thanks for your time in advance friends!
Allison

a thousand thank yous for your help and suggestions– Im on it! :)

Havin some trouble with the permalinks issue–

I set it up for /%postname% as suggested, however when I do this the site falls apart

How do I go back and set names (or slugs I guess?) for each page that serves as the sites navigation etc?

Thanks mister!

I’ll address all those issues today!

Your time is so very appreciated :)

sidebar div weirdness fixed- check
footer div weirdness fixed- check
permalink restructured- check
rollovers for nav- check (although I do want to rework them so they are all the same width)

still need the darn code to validate- boo
still need to have current page highlighted- double boo (athough I saw a plugin offered that may make my life easier)

One last thing– my "entries-nav" links are not working (newer entries and older entries nav)
here is what my code looks like :

Code:

also, I implemented a sticky footer technique but unfortunately my moniter is too small to check– is it working? :)

thanks!

ignore my semi-celebratory post above— I still have work t do, Ill get back to you :)

ok so my code validates– but this sidebar in the comment-container is killing me.

I went through index.php, single.php, and page.php and I couldn’t find anything (but I also dont really know php so I’m not too sure what to look for)

page.php:

Code:

#date {
padding: 0px 0 5px 0;
font: italic 14px Georgia, “Times New Roman”, Times, serif;
}

single.php:

Code:

post_date) – (60*120)); echo time_since($entry_datetime); echo ‘ ago’; */ ?>
at

comment_status) && (‘open’ == $post->ping_status)) {
// Both Comments and Pings are open ?>
Comment

comment_status) && (‘open’ == $post->ping_status)) {
// Only Pings are Open ?>
Responses are currently closed, but you can ” rel=”trackback”>trackback from your own site.

comment_status) && !(‘open’ == $post->ping_status)) {
// Neither Comments, nor Pings are open ?>
Both comments and pings are currently closed.

Re. Current page highlighted.

Check your nav in Firebug. WordPress does it for you.

Just add the CSS.
