Thanks for the response, but that didn’t do the job. You’ll note nothing has changed after I substituted your code and uploaded the revised style sheet.

May I send you access to the server in a private message?

Or perhaps another suggestion?

TIA

Well, that bet paid off in less than an hour, not a day.

Thank you Moshu!

I sympathize with you but as the previous posters point out, this is stuff you need to learn if you want to grow in your professional skills – and it’s worth it, too.

Is is tough? Depends on where you are coming from. Those who have entered directly into the world of PHP / CSS / MySQL while bypassing HTML think not. They see static HTML as tough – and severely limited.

Can you learn? My friend, I am 73 years old. Learning this stuff is what has kept my brain from shrinking down and turning to mush like a month-old peach. Never had a single computer course. Just picked it up piece by piece, in the context of specific tasks as I needed them, from the generous folks I’ve found in support forums like this.

Does that work? Starting out in 1994, and asking questions every day, I’ve built a web site developing and hosting business with clients in 5 countries. I’ve acquired a great little set of skills that way, everything from coding HTML to advanced Photoshop, database designs, forums, content management systems like Joomla and (the real money maker for me) shopping carts. I’m now starting to learn blog software such as WP.

Yesterday I started customizing a WP theme to chronicle a 6-week journey through exciting parts of the world that will start next week. Visit (www.sprangleblog.com) right now and you’ll see I’m stuck on how to cause text to wrap my headshot and how to add a few pixels of padding to that photo. I’ll bet you that within 24 hours after I post that question in the right support category, I’ll have the answer and you will not see either problem again.

Can you learn this stuff? Whaddya think?

Me too.

I’m having an even more basic problem inserting a graphic into a post. I put the full path to the image in the field
“Insert/edit image
Image URL:

but even if I put the image in the root folder and then define that direct a path, I get a broken image icon, not the image.

As an experiment, I even copied the above image file path and tired to isnert it into a post on my own site – and got the broken icon. But clearly, to me at least, that image should have appeared in the test post on my site.

Is there perhaps a CHMOD issue on my blog?

TIA

If you look at the home page

(https://www.mycaribbeanblog.com/)

you will see that it contains the same postings that appear on the pages that display relevant google ads. The only page that displays blog-relevant ads is the home page.

There must be something in the code that leads google to think that the page is about blogs.

Anyone?
