It is well designed, but anyone on less than a full 1024 screen will have to sidescroll to see it all.

I don’t know about the text hyperlinks on the sidebar either – white text on a lightish grey gradiant is not the easiest hyperlink colour scheme you’ll find.

You obviously know enough to ‘fix’ those in a jiffy, not that I’m saying its broke.

As far as the design goes, its as good as I’ve seen a basic theme modified.

You need to look for a specific header div, like below

`<div id=”header”>the header content here</div>’

If you have no header.php then it will be likely be the index.php you need to look in for this mark up.

A nice clean design there, no real criticism to offer, nothing harsh to say really.

The only issue for me might be to alter the link colours on the sidebar and the main part. You use a dark red, but maybe a dark or lighter blue might look better.

I painted an entire blog red, as others will testify, so it might sound funny I’d point that out.

There is something about red links that seems not right for me, maybe because blue is the default colour for a link.

Apart from that, its a good design, nothing fancy, but thoughfully put together.

Some nice work there, the colour seems more suited for an artistic or some off the wall website or blog, maybe it is off the wall, but its also not in English so I know not the content.

Nice work on the banner which drops down to reveal links of some sort, I presume you can add links there, which is a good idea and a bit of clever thinking.

Samboll, I changed the domain name to point to the wordpress folder, but the site seemed to lose the Css and I could not go to admin.

Maybe I should have waited longer for the changes, but I just presumed that because I saw the WordPress site, albiet messed up, that the domain name changes were all sorted.

Its ok now though as I changed the domain back to what it was. I need a domain for the root of my directory anyway, and have a few more to put up.

The three column theme is being used by me for a website and all seems to be ok, I’ll post the link to it in the usual thread because its changed a bit more, and is not the one I’ve had linked to for the past few days.

You’ve still got php errors there, in Firefox at least.

I’m not here to tell anyone how to work, but why would any webmaster redesign the wheel as it were?

WordPress is very easy to alter the look of and I’ve gone in the opposite direction seeing little point in using normal html or xhtml and choosing to use WordPress to bring me whatever look I need, be it two column, left or right, or three column.

I suppose it is just a case of getting used to WordPress, but I’d offer it as the basic foundation because php is fiddly stuff and someones done a spot on job for me in that respect.

The hosts advertised or recomended here are good for the price, you could do a lot worse than looking at the prices there. I chose one and am happy with it.

As for moving hosts, if you have wordpress, you are lucky as you can import your blog. Not done it myself but will test it out to see if it is easy like they say.

Moving site means you will lose ratings in google if you do not redirect the pages on your own blog to the new one, you do this through .ht access file, so you’ll need to search for that.

You also need to redirect your website name or url, if you own one.

There will be other tips, such as keep your old webspace running perhaps with redirect files for a while.

I’ve had a few sites go down and was unable to redirect, the only solution is to update outside links on others sites.

Took me a few months to get back on top positions for my key words.

Easy way is to copy the post to a page, then delete the post.

I don’t know if you can turn a post into a page via the control panel.

If it was one post, I’d just copy it to a page, but if anyone knows better, we’d be glad to know.

Thanks Otto, to be honest, I never searched first before posting this, so apologies there.

Thanks for the answer.

You ought have a break if you just use the enter key when editing.
If you look at the html for this post, there should be a break between the first line and second. And they will be contained in a paragraph, I think!

This now ought to be a paragraph on its own.

Update: Having looked at the html for this post, i’m correct, so WordPress does use <br /> if you use the enter key and start on a new line.

Ladydelaluna, I’ve had the issue with renaming themes, and seeing your web page blank. It does happen in the circumstances you describe, and we ought to watch out if we use themeswitchers, perhaps limit experiments to a blog set up for that alone.

Moshu is right, the law is pretty strict in the UK and you would need consent of the parents, or guardians.

Fair enough with the content.

The actual H2 is in an li id, I’m not really 100% sure what that means, but my h2’s had bullets, and only when I made the css for an li on its own (with no ul or ol), did the h2 stop having the bullet.

Still, live and learn eh?

A link would be useful

I’ve just had the exact same problem, but solved it on IE6 and FF, with the cursed IE7 beta worthless piece of junk it does not work, but I’m sick of IE7 and will not look at it until it is actually released.

Anyway, what I done was add some Css for the li and make sure that the list shows ‘none’ for any bullet.

Works like a charm

Example below, alter to your own sidebar, if indeed you use it in the sidebar

#sidebarright li {
list-style-type: none;
}
