Sorry, the application you were using is experiencing a problem. Please try again later.

when i click the check permissions link… it takes me to facebook but it returns a blank page..

to be more specific. it gives me facebook header.. sidebar.. but no content.

the ?app_tab=true&fb_force_mode=fbmle i got it. i was doing it wrong

that didnt work, anyone else?

<?php if(function_exists(‘sbc’)){ sbc();} else { ?>
<form id=”searchform” method=”get” action=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>”>
<input name=”s” id=”s” type=”text” value=”<?php echo $blognews[“search”]; ?>” onfocus=”if(this.value==this.defaultValue)this.value=”;” onblur=”if(this.value==”)this.value=this.defaultValue;” />
<input type=”submit” class=”searchsubmit” value=”” />
</form>

paste the code pretty much, where you want the search bar to be at…

i fixed the search text height, it was a little mistake of :,;

also. made the input round.

/* 5. Search Form */

form#sbc-search {
display:inline;
width:800px; /*define a width*/
}

form#sbc-search input#s {
-moz-border-radius:15px 15px 15px 15px;
background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #FCB342;
border:0 solid #BBBBBB;
float:left;
margin:6px 10px 10px 0;
padding:4px 10px;
width:400px;
height:60px;
font-size:20px;
}

form#sbc-search select#cat {
-moz-border-radius:15px 15px 15px 15px;
background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #FCB342;
border:0 solid #BBBBBB;
float:left;
margin:6px 10px 10px 0;
padding:4px 10px;
width:200px;
height:60px;
font-size:20px;
}

form#sbc-search input#sbc-submit {
-moz-border-radius:15px 15px 15px 15px;
background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #FCB342;
border:0 solid #BBBBBB;
float:left;
margin:6px 10px 10px 0;
padding:4px 10px;
width:100px;
height:50px;
font-size:20px;
}

the thing is that i want them to look the same, and style the arrow, still not able to do it

thanks it worked, but if you could help with something else.

alright i changed a lil bit of the coding to make it the way i want it.
but now there is a couple more things that you can help me with

1. i think. i did it right, set the 3 things to have the same height, but it looks like its not working right…. or it could be that the input field, is not round, how can i make it round. also the SEARCH button, is not aligning right

2. as you may see on the code, i want the search TEXT for the user input for it to be bigger…

3. lastly how can i add a custom image to the drop down menu, say i want to add my own arrow, for it too look nicer.

form#sbc-search {
display:inline;
width:800px; /*define a width*/
}

form#sbc-search input#s {
background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #FCB342;
border:0 solid #BBBBBB;
float:left;
margin:6px 10px 10px 0;
padding:4px 10px;
width:400px;
height:50px;
font-size;20px;
}

form#sbc-search select#cat {
-moz-border-radius:15px 15px 15px 15px;
background:url("arrow.png") no-repeat scroll 88% 50% #FCB342;
border:0 solid #BBBBBB;
height:50px;
margin:0 8px 10px 0;
padding:7px 20px;
width:200px;
}

form#sbc-search input#sbc-submit {
-moz-border-radius:15px 15px 15px 15px;
background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #FCB342;
border:0 solid #BBBBBB;
height:50px;
margin:0 8px 10px 0;
width:100px;
}

im searching for something kind of like this..

https://www.blogcatalog.com/

where it has a directory. but also with the categories, could keep a magazine style blog.

see how on the main page, on the bottom it has articles.
but the main feature is too look for a listing

i could pay for it, and i’ve searched the google for a couple of days now. believe..

you should go into the folder of your theme, and look for header.php inside you should find the image header… something like <img src=”www.simpletaps.com/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/bannername.jpg”>

what you wanna do is… add
<img src=”www.simpletaps.com/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/bannername.jpg”>

hope it helps
