  • It’s loaded properly on mine…the old image is probably just in your browser’s cache.

    I also tried the_author_meta() instead of get_the_author_meta() – no dice.

    What version of IE?

    I know that a lot of the drop-down pizazz doesn’t work in IE6 because the :hover pseudo class doesn’t work in anywhere but normal links.

    This helped me!

    Thanks, MichaelH ??

    @pepen – I appreciate your time.

    I tried to clear the float, to no avail.

    I didn’t thoroughly examine, but I did pass XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Would it have caught an open div tag?

    The same error manifests in FF3 now! eek!

    AjaxLogin apparently is having issues with 2.5.1 and the developer disappeared. Is there anything similar?

    stylesheet is at https://www.zamagazine.org/wp-content/themes/ZATheme/style.css

    1. The Contempt theme uses this image as the background:
    https://s.wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/pub/contempt/images/blue_flower/bg.jpg

    This image is repeated vertically down the page, and this is where the gray columns are created. If you want to get rid of the bars, you have to change the image.

    2. You’ll have to play around with your css files to change the colours – play around with anything with an a tag until you hit the ones you’re looking for.

    Helpful tip! I was able to find various elements of your site pretty easily using a plugin called Firebug for Firefox. If you’re running Firefox, go ahead and pick up the plugin because it’ll help you see how your site is laid out.

    Cheers,
    Brendan

    I checked your site out…are you using WordPress?

    I found out what the problem is. My header has to be the width of the page no matter what the size of the window is, so I had to remove an absolute width that kept the background for the content in place.

    Now that I know what the problem is, I can attempt to fix it!

    Thanks to anyone who actually read this!

    I’ve learned a bit about conditional tags and I’m certainly willing to integrate it to solve the problem.

    Trouble is, I don’t know what the problem even is!

    quick note: I put my old footer content back in since it didn’t seem to be the difference between good alignment and bad alignment.

    cheers!

    Okay so I definitely have it now! Thanks for suggesting custom fields. A Google search yielded this URL that showed me just what I want to do:

    so what would that look like? I’m pretty new to WordPress and PHP
