For me – it looks ok but it seems like it is loading all your posts, comments, etc to the first page. That takes a long time to load and doesn’t seem necessary. Is that intentional?

Also on the menu bar, is the “calendar: and search:” above those areas a leftover from debugging? And what is all that below it – it looks like more – but different – work in progress, which I certainly can understand.

How many k is you header image? It seems to take a long time to load but that could be because of the number of posts coming in…

Keep at it – it does take time and fiddling I know.

I tried this on the default template and got it to work just fine. Now I have changed to Alex King’s Dot template and I am only getting partial success. I can get the additional tagline space to show below my header with the proper color, but I can’t get my tagline to show. I have modified my index as mentioned.

My weblog is: https://www.memoriafoto.net

My CSS code now is (snip of relivant parts):
#header {
background: url(wp-images/memoriafoto.jpg) no-repeat;
background-position: bottom;
border: 1px solid #4B5340;
border-width: 0 1px 0px 1px;
color: #fff;
font-size: 24px;
height: 150px;
left: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
text-align: left;
top: 0;
width: 808px;
background-color: #346699;
}
#header a {
color: #fff;
letter-spacing: 0.2em;
display: block;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
text-decoration: none;
}
#header a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}
#tagline{
border: 1px solid #4B5340;
border-width: 0 1px 2px 1px;
color: #fff;
font-size: 18px;
height: 30px;
left: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0px 0px 150px 0px;
text-align: left;
width: 808px;
background-color: #346699;
}

Any suggestions appreciated…

Podz –

Well it worked alright! I thought sure I had tried that before, but I must have left something off or typed it wrong. Who knows, after mucking around with a bunch of stuff, you lose track.

Thanks
