wp-print: the ‘print this’ icon and link crowds my header on main page

You can try adding this to the very bottom of your style sheet:

.WP-PrintIcon {margin: 10px 0 0;}

I think that might move it down by 10px on every post. You can test it and see how it looks.

Clayton, thank you. are you still around? i want to ask a little clarification …

Sure! ??

when i added the plugin, it was also my VERY first time touching any kind of code. the instructions on setting it up had me copy and paste a line of php stuff onto my main index template (index.php)

so, as to your suggestion, step by baby step, do you mean i go to my dashboard, then to ‘appearance’ then below that to ‘editor’ and then look on the far right hand side and go to the bottom where i see stylesheet (style.css) … click on that and see the center of my screen is filled with code …

is that the right place to add what you suggest? and, more specifically, when you say at the very end of this, the last thing i see on this sheet is something like /* “Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I’m half crazy all for the love of you. blah, blah blah (added by me) ending with a bicycle built for two.” */

do you literally mean put it after the very last character? and on it’s own line i suppose? thank you. –sharyn

Yes. You are pretty much right on the mark. Add it to the very bottom ( I say that because it’s the fastest to find and change again if you need to ) of style.css. It might be faster editing style.css in your file manager or by ftp, but if you are having success with the built-in editor, that’s fine too. That should do it.

– I get a kick out of that “Daisy” reference every time I see it.

oh my gosh, you have to know i have increased my knowledge about website creation by about a thousand times just to get this far, lol. i started at the tiniest tad bit above knowing zero two months ago. this is such a good feeling!

so, i am going to copy and paste your suggestion after the daisy quote. i’ll tell you how it works. thank you again (will you stick around for a few minutes in case something horrible happens?)

Sure, I’ll check back and see if it worked or not.

I can already see it.. looks better?

alright Clayton. i did it, but nothing changed.

and btw, you probably figured out i just learned where my built in editor is and how to use it. i haven’t yet edited style.css in my file manager or by ftp, and don’t understand what or where those things are.

do you have a diff suggestion about how to make that stuff move down? maybe a slightly tweaked version of that ‘code’ you suggested? -sharyn

p.s. i have to ask, how do you know these kinds of things? it’s crazy, mysterious stuff!

hold on … just now i see your comment saying you see it, looks better? looks exactly the same to me. does it look like it changed to you?

Clayton, wow. ok, so i guess it just took a few moments to change. i see it now. in both firefox and safari browsers.

thank you! and, do you think i could make it move down just a little bit more?

Yes, it sure does. Revisit your home page, and press Ctrl+F5. That should force a browser cash refresh from your server. If that doesn’t work, log out, clear your browser cache and then revisit. That should do it.

right. it was prob a refreshing thing … can i just increase that number to move it farther down?

Well done!

do you think i could make it move down just a little bit more?

You sure can. Just increase the “10px” to whatever looks best for you.

would i change the 10 to a 15 or a 20?
