Need help with rin tin tin theme please…

    I’m currently customising the rin tin tin theme over at my test site (https://www.avalon5.com/wptest) and I’m running into several alignment issues which I really need help with. I’ve already tried to contact the author but no joy there, so I’m hoping you folks can dig me out of a hole.

    Basically if you look at my live site (https://www.avalon5.com) you will see how I’ve implemented things like categories/archives, recent comments etc. I’m trying to get the same to work in the new theme at the test site but the alignment is all off. Specifically…

    1) Recent Comments: Seems to include line breaks/carriage returns for some reason.
    2) Categories/Archives – seems to display the number of posts on the next line instead of after the description
    3) Under the “Concept” section of the left sidebar, I’ve got an image which I’m trying to get the text to wrap around but for some reason it’s not showing
    4) Main post – I took a post from the live site which included lots of text wrapped around images aligned both left and right – but in this theme it doesn’t work for some reason.

    Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    1. Check the code used to display the rec. comments
    2. in stylesheet find this line
    #sidebar2 ul li ul li a{
    and delete display: block
    3. Why don’t you use the existing class="leftimage" for displaying it?
    4. It seems you found the solution, didn’t you?

    Yup – I just figured out how to do the alignment in the main post area. I will try that suggestion for the rec.comments bit, thank you.

    Ok – the change to the CSS did the trick for the categories/archives – thanks very much for that:)

    I still can’t figure out how to get the Author image to display correctly. I’ve tried to use the class=rightimage approach in the CSS and at least it’s now displaying the image, but it’s not wrapping correctly.

    Any chance you could look at the way it’s done in the original site (https://www.avalon5.com) and tell me how to achieve that in the test site? Thanks in advance.

    As I expected ??
    <img class="menu" ... – that’s from the orig.site!
    Give a class to the img in the sidebar and style it as you want in the style.css.

    OK – I’m sorted. Thanks again for the advice – I really do appreciate it.

    If you have any other suggestions for the look / feel of the site, feel free to say it:) I’m in the redesign process at the mo so I’ll welcome all opinions at this point.
