Well, the third column is intended to be used to show advertising, so unless the end-user likes advertising, it isn’t really intended for them so much as the site owner ??

The reason I asked about the three-column thing is for categorizing it in the lists of themes. I think true three-column themes (such as slashdot-style sites) tend to be too confusing, since they don’t guide the eye to anything in particular. So my theme is really just a two column theme with an extra advertising column thrown in the help the other two columns make money ?? It’s obvious the other two columns are what’s important. That’s what I was concerned with, I guess: the theme has a philosophical difference with other 3-column themes.

I’ve just made the theme available for download:

I’m not sure what you mean by overlap in FF; the only overlap I’ve encountered is in IE, which I address below.

Note: correct me if I’m not addressing what you’re talking about.

My response is:

In the real world, that won’t happen, because as soon as you have any posts with any excerpts, the content pushes the floating divs further down the page so it straightens itself out.

I had thought of coming up with some workaround for making it look good without content, but that would be introducing a lot of bloat for the sake of something that won’t happen in the real world.

I was just concerned because the middle column is so small.

Thank you VK,

happy holidays, too

I’m so glad you understood the point of the theme…function over…well, it’s got form too, but not pizaaaz

It has a couple new features:

1. Free reprint template: https://upmarketmerchant.com/wp-content/themes/upmarket-merchant-actual/reprint.php?p=2

2. Site map template: https://upmarketmerchant.com/site-map

VK–that did it!

Thank you, thank you!

What do you think of it now? I’m going to release it as a theme.

It’s a content management-style theme.

IE and Firefox; haven’t tried the others…why, you don’t see it?

The bullets are blending into the credit card logos’ box border.

Minna, that solved it (I think). Thanks, you’re a life-saver.

Frankly, I don’t think that CSS validator tool can be worth very much if it hasn’t heard of the Trebuchet font. Sometimes those things are a little too orthodox.

Thanks for the advice–moshu, why will it always apply that color? Wouldn’t the default visited color override it?

any thoughts yet on this one?

that’s what I’m doing now, and it’s not working

CSS:

.sitename {padding-left: 15px; font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, Times, “Times New Roman,” serif; color: #efefef;}
.sitename a {color: #efefef; text-decoration: none;}
.sitename a visited {color: #efefef; text-decoration: none;}

implementation:

<div id=”logobox” style=”background-image:url(https://upmarketmerchant.com/wp-content/themes/upmarket-merchant-credit-card-3-col/image001.gif); position:absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 775px; height: 50px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;”>
<span class=”sitename”>UpMarket Merchant</span>
<span class=”description”>Credit card merchant services, credit cards processing, internet merchant service</span>
<span class=”topright” style=”position:absolute; top: 10px; right: 0px;”>
</span>
</div>

Site is at:

CSS is at:

Hey guys,

Thank you for all your help.

I suppose something must have gone wrong when the files were FTP’d to the server because when I deleted the theme and re-uploaded it using filezilla, it was fine.

Thanks and sorry for the trouble.

What’s the normal mode of calling css in wp?

The thing is, I’ve used that same method of calling the CSS in every other theme I’ve done, including one that’s on the same server as this.

I tried your hard-refresh and it still looks like there’s no CSS.

Just look at https://www.upmarketseo.com and compare it with https://www.upmarketmerchant.com It’s the same theme. But not even the font is right on upmarketmerchant.com

I mistyped in the first post.

I didn’t rename the template, I renamed the directory.

The problem is that the DIRECTORY is renamed. I have made sure the CSS is called properly in the header of the document, but still it is not working. What’s up?
