i have edited the style sheet to change the bg color. yet in ie6 sp2 it does not show. it does show up in ie5.5.
someone earlier said that they did not see the change either. i do not know what browser they are using.
how can i make sure this change will take place when viewed in ie6, 5.5, ff?
i have looked for some sort of notation in the index.php for the site yet i do not see one. when i right click and look at the source code in note pad i see a comment for a white bg color, i think that color is in the text boxes, i am not 100% sure.
i do not see any sort of direct html page or coding to change.
please help
thanks

do you think changing those boxes to a shade of lighter blue or maybe a shade of gray would work color wise?
if so what hex colors would you suggest?
thanks again
mark

thanks
i am not sure where the style sheet went but it was no where to be found.
i moved one over from one of my other blogs.
thanks
mark

update……
i had deleted the opening “hello world” post and had not input any other posts.
i added a quick post to the general catagory and it fixed the error.
i am still interested in why and how just adding a post fixed this warning message.
thanks
mark

i reloaded several files in the includes and all is fixed now. you can see my blog at https://www.homebuilderssc.com/blog

another item of note… when i click on links in the posting page i get the following error as well
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/mstamper/public_html/blog/wp-admin/link-manager.php on line 488
any ideas on that. did i not upload all the files i needed. i thought i got them all.

linux version 2.4.26-hn-1.6-p4

7/27/2004
first blog post
Filed under:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: the_category() in /home/mstamper/public_html/blog/index.php on line 40
is there something else i need to check now?

i went into the cpanel editor and rechecked the end of the config file. there were 3 whitespaces. i deleted them and tried to login again…..SUCCESS!
thanks everyone. i am a greatful newbie.
later
mark

okay, here is what i have done….
wordpad wants to save the config file as wp-config.php.txt , i upload that file and then rename it as wp-config.php. i have done that 3 times.
i have deleted the wp-login.php file and uploaded it 2 times, the second time i did as you asked and checked for the whitespace issue.
i continue to get the error of Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/mstamper/public_html/blog/wp-config.php:34) in /home/mstamper/public_html/blog/wp-login.php on line 123
i also get this on lines 124, 126, 127, 128, 129, and 149.
crazy huh?
thanks
mark

i read the faq and since i do not know heads or tails about php code i am including the contents of the wp-login.php file below. please show me what to edit and i will take care of it.
would it be easier to just dump the whole file set and start over?
thanks
