Done. And thanks, good idea.

I recently converted to Gridiculous. Love the template.

Question: When I add social networking buttons or a search field the header (under the Widgets menu), a huge block of blank space is added above my header image. Is there a way to prevent that?

Thanks.

I’m competent with basic html. Not so much with CSS.

I don’t mind learning and rebuilding the page – it’s really (currently) only three two-column tables. My trouble has been figuring out WHAT I need to learn to replace the tables (inline css, divs, etc.)

If you can point me to any good sources, or advise on what specific things I need to learn to build this, I’d appreciate it.

Thanks.

Could I possibly be missing a closing </dev> tag in this section?

Odd. It seems fine here on the actual page. Unless I’m missing something obvious:

<div class="menu-main-menu-container"><ul id="menu-main-menu" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-43" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom current-menu-item current_page_item menu-item-home menu-item-43"><a href="https://www.michaelgaither.com/home/">HOME</a>

P.S. The line break seems to be limited to the size of the header image. (The line break is right at the edge of the image. But this only happens in IE and Firefox.)

I added them here. Note: I tried both with and w/o the text-align command left in:

/* header */
.header {
background: #ffffff;
text-align: center;
text-indent: -999% !important;
}

.header img {
float: left;
padding-right: 1em;
}

.header h1 {
color:#000000;
padding-top: 3em;
}

Here’s a bit more info. It’s the menu section in my CSS file. I’ve been tweaking it, but cannot get the links to appear as buttons. Any ideas?

Thanks again,

Thanks, esmi. Actually, I mis-wrote. I really only want to change the main header text to be Arial bold. Also want to change the font color (again, just for the header text.)

Can you provide some more guidance? Many thanks.

Hi,

I’m happy to take a stab at the markup errors. How do I find them?

Thanks,

– Michael

How would I change just the main header font color? I changed the hex code in the css file, but something’s over riding it.

Thanks again,

– Michael

This does look a little intense. I did a little querying this morning. Lots of people are on IE 7 and 8, but I also found a fair number who were still on IE 6.

Any more advice on conditional comments? I’ll read that link above.

Thanks,

Hi,

I’m using WP. (My old site is in B2, and if you enter just michaelgaither.com, the redirect takes you to the B2 blog.)

The WP page is michaelgaither.com/home (you need to add “home”). It works, I just haven’t made it my official new page.

As far as IE, the nav bar color probs are on IE 6.0.2. Thanks for any help getting this resolved.

– Michael

Perfect. Thanks.

Perfect! Thanks again.
