I have not looked at your CSS closely but usually you can move a graphic over by adding more margin or padding.

As to the footer going into the image: I would test this first. This might be happening because there is no content here yet and the space is collapsing on itself. Try adding a couple of quick posts and see what happens.

Oops!

This was an error on my part. This confusion had nothing to do with fixed positioning. The problem was that I needed to move my header above the container element to match the markup I had in the static pages. Doing so now makes it work…

Thanks!

Unfortunately the site is only local on my Mac now. I am not getting the effect on The WP page I am getting on the static pages. Its just an extra flourish. The effect will not work on IE6 as well, which I can live with.

I was just wondering if this is the case with WP as well before I a move on to other “issues.”

Moshu,

Thanks. I followed up with the steps and it works perfectly. I now need to create links on the WordPress blog page that link back to the other existing static pages.

Next comes the “heavy lifting”: seeing how the CSS works in WP Themes!

Cheers,

Max

Thanks Moshu!

Just to better get my head around this:

Say I have my existing site in a folder called my_site (which contains index.html, contact.html etc, a subfolder for images and a CSS file.)

Say I have a link in my main navigation for the blog page. So, if I follow you correctly I rename the WordPress folder that I downloaded and call it “blog” and then place that into my existing site folder (in this case “my_site). I then install Worpress to make it connect to the proper database and I am good to go? I should be able to launch the WordPress blog by clicking on the “blog” link in my navigation on my existing pages? This sounds pretty straight forward.

As the WordPress files are all in their own folder I guess I will need to copy banner images and other graphics from the my_site images folder. These go into the themes folder that is contained in the WordPress folder?

I’ll follow those links and look into messing around with the themes and CSS etc. Fortunately I am familiar with CSS, buy I am a virgin when it comes to PHP etc.
