Out of interest, is sizing the text ‘small’ any better?

I mean to say, is it the ‘same’ as ems inasmuch as it gives a standard size to font?

I’ll be honest, I’ve not really investigated ems, but have used them because you see it a lot in css and I suppose I’ve just followed the crowd.

Guess I’ll read up more on ems, but is using ‘small’ and all the rest of the css mark ups like medium and large and largex and so on – ok?

Its a good title for a song.

Everthing went blank.

I bet The Duke would do it Justice and we would not need lyrics, just some Saxaphone bordering on insanity.

You could have just joined the blog, gave the user name you wanted, and gave yourself the right to be admin.

But, alls well that ends well and a good way to sort it out.

The Blogs pretty good, but hard to read as the main text is too small. To make the blog readable to more people, I’d make sure the text was sized a bit bigger.

Good luck.

Nice plug in, I’ll test this one out as I’ve been looking for something more than the standard php call up for displaying the latest posts.

I ran a local news website but we had a fair bit of international visits.

Given the trouble in the world, I hope that one thing WordPress can do, is enable people to communicate and understand different cultures. I do not mean this in a patronising manner.

Most of the poor, will not be hooking up a 19″ lcd for a while yet.

One very important point some of you miss is that even with a 1024 screen resolution, if the sidebar with the history or favorites and so on is open (mine always is) then the 1024 screen is more like a 900.

Therefore, using a fixed 800 width, or a 760 upwards, you know the 1024’ers are ok. Maybe the 800’s might have to sidescroll, but for most people that means losing the left hand sidebar on the website, and its why I think the left hand navigation is best, for Western readers. The Arabic people of course, read from left to right.

Fixed width or fluid, there is always a pro and a minus.

The people with big screens should be grateful for a nice 760 width website. Anyone can read the content if the text is in ems or percentages. You can always have a couple of websites open on a big screen, thats why bigger screens were built, so that you can use more windows for the main part.

I think it might be the Css, and God only knows how many wierd errors IE6 can throw up. I’m sure Mr Gates tries his hardest in that regard.

I’ve altered my Css by just finding my original Css file and adding what I could remember. I do not know what Css div was the problem, but as of now, I’m 99% certain that I’ve sorted this issue.

I’ll post a link when I’ve sorted it as I’m excited now after spending over a week trying to settle this issue.

It is hard to think of anything to when you have a problem with your blog and need to settle it.

God willing, I have sorted it out.

I see paragraphs using FireFox, not one big paragraph, just normal ones.

You ought to also try submitting the site to a few search engines.

I took about a year to get into the top ten of google, then it was maybe 2 years to hit the top of the list.

It all depends what search you are looking to come up in.

I’ve noticed that wordpress has the following meta information in the head

<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.0.2" />

But it does not have the following meta

<meta name="keywords" content="BBC, bbc.co.uk, Search, British Broadcasting Corporation, BBCi" />

I’m not sure if I can put keywords in WordPress, on each page, which I’d like to have.

Maybe i’ve missed something.

You could use simple anchors on the page or post and some links from the end of the paragraphs.

I had issues and still do with Mr Peers themeswitcher, which won’t let me make changes with the css files or any theme files.

If I turn the plug in off, I can make changes.

Thats using WordPress 2.02 by the way.

I’d try switching plug ins off, just to see if it works.

Nice enough blog or website you have, seems to have plenty of information there and seems to be easy to navigate and read and looks neat enough.

I’m viewing on IE7 beta 2, all seems well there, but you have a bit of margin with the main content, and I’d fill it out and just use padding to keep the content neat.

The blog sidescrolls a little bit for 1024 resolution users with the favourites sidebar on view.

Tried deleting your cookies?

It looks like the theme has a few bugs, and if your just setting up the blog or website, at least you do not have to worry much there.

I see that your post div has a missing </p>, that will always bring up an error, but to ammend it you would need to open up the php files and alter stuff in there. I think the post.php would show that there is a missing </p> for some reason.

Maybe you could try downloading the latest version of the theme, and overwrite the post.php and maybe others.

The errors in the html do matter, and WordPress will be error free when you first set it it up.

The best way to test it out is to first set up your blog, get the theme you want, then add your menus and check to see they validate. Just validate often, and after each major change. Check them out and you’ll spot the errors early. 56 errors sounds bad, but its nothing really. Odds are fixing one or two things can clear up a load of errors.

Also, turning off the visual rich editor and the close xhtml tags might help.

You have a WordPress 2.02 blog and the theme you use validates on other blogs so I do not think it is the theme at fault.

The blog looks good, a nice design and easy enough to read.

Not only is it nice and easy to navigate and easy to read, it also has some real good content on there.

I bookmarked it, as its got a lot of links that are full of free gifts for web designers. I like the free fonts site you link to and think its time I done my own font once I find out what tools I need.

I’m building up a list of educational blogs, suitable for children, or young people, that I can link to. This will be a good one because the author has done a real neat job of explaining css.

It would truly be a good theme for public release.

I like the BBC website layout. There will be a few errors in the xhtml, but they come and go as so much material is up there.

I’m try to look at this from the point of view of some sort of local news website, the 5 columns can work, but you need to be careful. WordPress is a bit of a mix amd match of coding skills and making the presentation look neat and tidy.

Take the criticism here for what its worth, and for my own tuppenceworth, I doubt theres a theme out there that was not a bit of mess in its planning stages.

What I’d do with the theme is fill the five columns, with the sort of common stuff people might use. You can use two sidebars for the usual menu, the main is content and the other two could be used for images, maybe adverts or suchlike.

Offhand, 1,000,000 stamp collectors might be heading for WordPress once they work out how to use a scanner. A 5 column website with stamps in the sidebars springs to mind.

Either way, as long as you get this xhtml and css complient, and working on the usual platforms, a 5 column theme would be something to have.
