Okay, I solved my own problem after combining some other problems and solutions that I found on the boards. In case anyone else runs into this, here is the solution:

My iframes were amazon ads, the code was automatically generated so I just copied and pasted. It looked like clean code, all the iframe tags looked like <iframe … /> However, it seems that a separate closing tag is required, so I removed the “/” from the iframe tag, then added </iframe> and now it’s working perfectly.

I’m still working on this. I’ve also noticed that my footer and previous posts have all gone missing. Also, my sitemeter, which is embedded in my footer, is gone.

How is this possible? I tried cutting out the iframes and the page went back to normal, but I’d really like to be able to use them.

Thanks very much ??

aha! Thank you!

I put an image in a post for the first time last night and I just used the wordpress dashboard to do it. In the toolbar above where you enter the text for your post there is a little tree icon. If you click that it will ask you for the image URL and some other information. I already had the image uploaded so that was no problem. I did have to get my own width/height specifications though as the Word Press editor didn’t offer that option.

Thank you. This helped a lot and I think I’m getting somewhere. I decided not to post the author’s name, so scratch that. I just have to resolve the following:

1. The date is in italics and the time showing as 08:00pm. I would like to figure out how to change the italics. I would also like to get rid of the 0 before the 8 and put a space before pm. I scoured my CSS but didn’t find anything.

2. The permalink was a mess. When I pasted in the code, it entered the URL for the permalink, and it wasn’t linked at all. Is there another way to permalink?

Thanks for your help!

Okay, I think I need a little more help. I activated the plugin and then I pasted the first function into my sidebar and called the function as well. The good news is that it’s working. I have a “Recent Posts” section on the page now. The bad news is that the function code is visible on my page. Yikes. Please help.

Thanks! That did the trick. Well, it moved the search into the right spot in the sidebar. The text was still cut off but I managed to fix it by adjusting a line-height for #sbnavigation form in the CSS. Much appreciated.

As for the validation, yeah I’ve been watching that. I am planning on validating everything after I get the page to look how I want it. I have a feeling it’s going to be a struggle, so maybe I’m just procrastinating but I’m pretty anal, so I will definitely get to it. I have to validate!

Okay, I fixed it. I was looking in my CSS files, trying to find where the code was telling the font on the pages to display large, but that’s not where the problem was, although I have a feeling it could depend on which theme you’re using.

I went to my Word Press dashboard, to Manage > Pages and clicked on EDIT for my About page. Then I clicked on the little HTML icon on the toolbar and found the code littered with [font size=”3″][/font]. I removed all the font tags and the problem is resolved.

I think this may have occurred because I cut and pasted the text from word, then into notepad, then into Word Press. Not sure though. I’ll have to keep my eye on how I transfer my text around.

I am working on the same problem right now. My site is girltrip.org, and the font size on my About page is too big. If I make any headway, I’ll let you know.

If you’re a student you can get Photoshop for much less. I got it about four years ago and I think I paid $150. I was taking an HTML class at the community college which cost all of about $50 and I bought the software at the college bookstore, but I understand you can get student versions from retail outlets as well.

Thanks! Worked perfectly ??

Does anyone know the code to make the top navigation in Blox justify flush right? Does this conflict with the float:left command, which apparently rearranges the order of the menu items?

Thanks for your response. It did get things back in order.

Now I just need to get the HOME, ABOUT, CONTACT to justify flush right and text-align:right; is not doing the trick. Any ideas?

Thanks! That worked perfectly… and I even managed to fix the validation. Here’s how:

1. In spring_flavour.css copy the code below /* navigation
and paste it below itself, then on the section that you pasted in, change “navigation” to whatever you want. I added an “sb” for sidebar, making it sbnavigation.

2. Do the same thing in layout.css.

3. Lastly, go to sidebar.php and change the div id to match the new one you’ve created.

It will pass validation. Thanks carnold ??
