Just stumbled in on this topic.
Roseann, from what I can see there’s two problems with your page, the one is the hidden stuff in your header, the second if the menu section (which has the recent links and calendar and stuff in it).
Firstly your header
Now I don’t claim to be an web-design expert, but it seems you’ve already fiddled around with that line. The line Laughing Lizard is referring to would be the line that starts with <h1 id=”header”>.
Although what you want to do is probably better done through image replacement, in order to maintain the logical structure of your content, I suppose it doesn’t really hurt at this stage.
(Note that in the “more” link in your Recent Links page, that “overlay” jumps out again. Using image replacement techniques with your CSS stylesheet probably will fix this problem across all your pages.)
Check here for an image replacement tutorial. To implement it, you’ll have to add the span tag in-between your current h1 tags. (Since I can’t see your index.php, only a parsed output, I can’t see your exact code. So I’m guessing here.)
(There’s also another technique for image replacement without adding the extra tag, but I kind of mis-placed that bookmark…sorry.)
Secondly your menu section
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m guessing that you left some space on the right hand side for the menu, which, on my browser (Firefox 0.8) sits under your post and comments. Can’t see at a glance why it’s sitting down there instead of on the right, but I know it’ll work if you move your menu section to appear in front of the post section in your index.php, then take out the top
, right
,position
parameters in your menu style and finally add the line float:right
to the menu style, then you’ll get the two-column effect. (Might also want to add clear:both
to your .credit style.)
Make sure you back up index.php and your wp-layout.css before you do what I said here, though. I don’t want you to get in more trouble if I’m just being stupid here.
Oh and by the way, no I don’t have to scroll down miles to see comments. I get header, post, comments, menu section, footer/credit in that order.
