Permalinks didn’t work when I tested things offline (I used easyphp – I assume it’s similar to xampp. Remove all permalink settings on the options screen and delete the .htaccess file if there is one. That sorted everything for me.

No problem. The css is almost there. The image doesn’t show up on my computer.

You just have to change the background to exactly what I had so it would be

body{
font-family:verdana;
font-size:7pt;
color:#30393E;
background: url(bg.jpg) #FFE8D0;
height:7pt; text-align:justify;

MaxT – thanks – I’ve been designing websites for years so hopefully there aren’t any design errors ??

IfElse – cool. Your site is in my rss reader – mainly because of your posts about wp query. They helped a lot when I was putting together the recent posts and link blog at the bottom of the homepage.

Just had a look at your css. All you ave to do to add the background back to your page is remove the background-color from thre body desciption and replace it with

background: url(bg.jpg) #FFE8D0;

Delete index.html and the iframe will disappear… as will the background image. This can be brought back by adjusting your theme (css & html) which is a fairly minor task but if you don’t know css can be awkward.

Ah – That makes more sense.

Thanks

So doing that I can use the link mentioned above?

That’s cool. I’m not keen on modifying the source code (not because i can’t but because it makes upgrading awkward). I think I am going to see if a plugin is possible before I do this. I was intending to have a go at writing plugins anyway so this could be interesting ??

Actually reading through that again the category will never be set to -4. You’re checking that the category isn’t set and the links = the category name. Neither will be true at the same time though…?
