    anon2,
    I never used the word ‘copywritten’….you did. Sorry that you inferred incorrectly my statement. I referred specifically to images, etc. I’ve a slight inclination however that if a site that looked exactly like Microsoft’s or Apple’s frontpage popped up here to there on the net, they’d get a nice little email from that companies PR department.
    Finally, please don’t talk to me like I’m 12 telling me “what I ought to do”….I’m an adult, and if you are [we wouldn’t know because you’re using an anon name to post…which to me suggests…nevermind] then I’d expect you to act like it.
    Moshu, thanks for your added comment.

    Two things anon….
    1) this is quite similar to the Kubrick template. Because they are so similar, I doubt you’d find anyone who’d give of their time to create it for you…for info on Kubrick and the possibilities of you using it for your needs, check out https://www.binarybonsai.com/kubrick/
    2) You can’t just find a layout/design you like and “turn it into a template for wordpress”. Its not always that simple. You have to consider the owner’s rights of their site….they may not WANT it popping up all over the place, so permission is a big deal. Then you have to take into account custom pictures used on the page and other site specific things like that. Creating a two column layout with a header isn’t a difficult thing to do, and again, I suggest you look into the Kubrick template (avail for 1.2 and 1.3). It would be very simple to hack it to look very much like your examples.
    Let us know if we can be of any further help. (But please don’t ask ‘us’ to do the work of converting Kubrick into what you need…the best way to learn is to get in there, muck it up, and start again….then come here with questions when you’re absolutley stuck)

    Kaf,
    Worked like a charm….Thanks a million and Merry Christmas!

    ahh yes….i seem to remember having a time w/ this myself…I think I edited the uri path that called for archives.php to make it an ABSOLUTE path…..in other words, instead of it linking to /archives.php it now links to the ABSOLUTE path of https://www.me.com/folder/wordpress/archives.php….

    by the way, the searchform uri you’d need to change…also, the ‘recent comments’ is something you have to change in my-hacks.php for that php call to work….

    I’m using 1.35a and have an archive page at https://idowens.com/wordpress/archives.php and thats the look you’re going for, this is the code I use:
    <h2>Search</h2>

      <?php include "kubrick-searchform.php"; ?>

    <h2>Monthly</h2>

      <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>

    <h2>Category</h2>

      <?php wp_list_cats(0, '', 'name', 'asc', '', 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0,'','','','','') ?>

    <h2>Recent Posts</h2>

      <?php get_recent_posts(); ?>

    <h2>Recent Comments</h2>

      <?php get_recent_comments(); ?>


    You can edit it to you heart’s content to get your desired effect.

    heh, it can be kind of tricky but once you get it just right I assume you copy/paste it each time or use a quicktag to insert it so as to not get any whitespace ?? Glad you got it up and running!

    Fernando,
    what do you mean w/o my last name? When I signed up it allowed me to choose my own username….did it not for you?
    secondly, the code I use is:
    <OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,47,0" WIDTH="30" HEIGHT="30" id="wimpy_button_1" name="wimpy_button01"><PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="wimpy_button.swf?theFile=wordpress/wp-content/Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You.mp3"><PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high><PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent><PARAM NAME="BGCOLOR" value="#FFFFFF"><EMBED src="wimpy_button.swf?theFile=wordpress/wp-content/Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You.mp3" quality=high bgcolor="#FFFFFF" WIDTH="30" HEIGHT="30"NAME="wimpy_button01" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED></OBJECT>
    This sets the button against a white background and at a size change 30 to a diff. to make the button larger or smaller…make sur ewhen you copy/paste it you don’t allow for any stray spaces or carriage returns…lemme know if you still can’t get it to work.
