    OK – After tolling through post all afternoon 8)
    For those that have the same problem with space ABOVE their post etc.
    Add this to your css file:
    p {
    margin-top: 0;
    }
    This takes away the linefeed ABOVE a paragraph which is the bit that P*** me off. So – Nice tight titles and posts now ??

    Ive used the pink to find where I am – Yes I mean the Post Title and its the line break after I wish to remove. But only some times eg to call a specific class?
    Umm – inline didnt do it
    Thanks

    DUH,
    Sorry – false alarm – I was editing the wrong get_link tag — (slaps forehead)
    Just need to alter image size ??

    ummm – ps Skippy – the link above didnt work ??
    I’ll try again later

    Skippy (hehe – shades of home – Aussie here – even if Im in France).
    Im happy to “try” to help when time permits.
    However my familiarity with WP is still on a vertical curve.
    You are correct tho that while its an immense job – kudos to all – a logical cross referencing is needed – (dunno how).
    Like, there is a brilliant page that details WP features that Lorelle gave a link to and the only way I can find it is refind her post – mostly cos Im a twit.
    having written a number of Docs & Procedure manuals for labs I know that Doc organisation is a nightmare. I will add my 2bobs worth if I can.
    My impression is the codex does a fair job of a giant task.
    But for newbies – my thoughts are that most are boggled by the bookmarks to cryptic tags when they realy dont know what they are looking for anyway – esp when you search.
    But I will rty to add thoughts ??
    Cheers

    hehe – Podz – nail on Head as usual and I am one of those that must and will go give credit ?? V good point.
    By the way – After almost throwing the laptop and WP of the 4th floor balcony (read above) I am about to build another new site using my own template I have but using WP as the core from what Ive learnt (so stand by for Q’s). So – Thanks to the WP community and guys like you I have a new tool to play with. Even if I am reluctantly dragged down the css route ?? .
    Keep well

    Cool, Basically I agree with your thoughts:)
    Yup the search seems sticky atm. Also my obtuse brain poses questions differently. What I do see is many seem to ask customising or tweeking questions of themes thatare probably not he right ones for that user ??
    There are also many on the quirks of different systems and so installs – that are always a pain and there are so many system types. Then the sheer dynamic nature of WP mans so many “non-core WP” questions arise.
    It would be helpful to have a REALY well doc’d core -(I think its OK tho).
    Even if Kub is a bit of a twister to non-hackers to tweek.
    Some questions may be also better asked in a different forum category – like the developer guys may be better off in a real tech area so the install q’s are REALY obvious and a good FAQ is developed from that forum.
    But thats a hassle tho cos then people dont learn or see what can be done — ah well, so many beers, so little time ??
    One day I hope to be more useful to the forum.
    Cheers

    Thanks guys thats great.
    This is a perfect example of a question meets an answer.
    My sites are on the same server so should be apples. I’ll go play ??

    Hi Curly,
    Im not the right person to respond here and Im a newbie as well – I also dont want to P*** people off at my thoughts so I dont get my questions answered here ??
    BUT – I am Very new to WP – But Ive been building sites for a bit and know my HTML (sorta) but and very grey on PHP – like most “users” really – I manage simple stuff. We are not all “developer/designers”
    We are mostly looking for a plug and go system – the confusion comes with the themes. WP – is pretty plug and go – Ive built a complete and growing site in about 10days, very part time with VERY few hassles – shameless promotion to WP.
    The CODEX is also a HUGE help to me. But you correctly used the term “DIG” .
    What I find is that the information is often somewhere between the Postings in this forum and the CODEX but sometimes the cross referencing of info – or the way a post is “taged” is not the way I would pose the question.
    Hence – to find what you want is sometimes not easy.
    What Im saying is – theres a huge knowledge base – but sometimes not arranged the way I would seek within. Sorry its just not intuitive (for me)
    I also think that folks (me included) look for a quick fire answer .
    Forinstance, I once spent 2 and a half days trolling the codex and posting here to find out a painfully obvious bit of info about forms in WP that was totally unnecessary – – when someone finally pointed out the solution — that wasted time sent me into a blue fit – truely ??

    Sorry – I also waffle a lot ??
    In summary –
    -yes there are a lot of repeat questions that are asked that shouldnt be.
    -Some of those questions can probaly be accessed easier by a REAALY good install and working model FAQ
    – many problems come from poorly explained or misunderstood Themes
    -I should help WP by assisting in the forum & CODEX (as should others)
    – the expandable nature of WP in itself creates many questions
    -WP is a great system with lots of possibilities.
    – this list is endless ??

    My tarnished and devaluing 2 cents worth.
    Keep well.
