    Thank you… I’m almost there. I added this code at the end of my functions.php:

    if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) ) {
    	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
            set_post_thumbnail_size( 84, 84 ); // default Post Thumbnail dimensions
    }
    
    if ( function_exists( 'add_image_size' ) ) {
    	add_image_size( 'random-thumb', 44, 44 );
    	add_image_size( 'featured-thumb', 200, 200 );
    }

    and ran Regenerate Thumbnails. However the resulting images, for instance for the 84×84 for a non-square image, are either 84×84 and cropped or 84×63.

    I would like a 84×84 thumbnail which is NOT cropped even for non-square images (the longer dimension is scaled to fit the desired size). How do I do that?

    thank you

    I’m having problems with it too. I also noticed that it adds about 900kb to the size of the page, which makes it much slower to load and uses more bandwidth.

    To know what’s wrong you’d need to dig into the theme code, so I can’t help you with that right now.

    Try WP-Socializer, I think it’s even better than Digg Digg and it may not break your theme.

    Try the AllInOneSEOPack plugin, it’s great for that kind of stuff. Especially make sure that your page descriptions are good and keyword-rich (you can manage them through that plugin).

    Sorry but I can’t help you, I just disabled Slimstats and use WassUp now. StatPress is also another good one. Disabling Slimstat will fix the problem but I couldn’t manage to make the plugin work.

    Whoops… fixed. I installed Slimstats yesterday and disabled myself from being tracket, so all I saw was the normal site… thank you, if you hadn’t told me this would have gone on for who knows how long.

    Now, what do you think? ??

    Thank you for the suggestion but, if I understand this correctly, this plugin is just to prevent spam comments. I don’t have a problem with spam comments (Askimet is doing a great job filtering out the spam), my problem is with the bandwidth usage of the spambots.

    Is there anything that I can use for that? Is 150 spam comments a day normal for a site with 25-30 unique visitors a day?

    thanks

    I fixed that after a bit of searching… now I’ve been trying to fix this very last thing for the past hour, but I have no idea where to start!

    I’d like the highlighted part to be just directly over the text instead of going over the image. If you can help me with this, that would be my last question ??

    thank you!

    Thank you! Now it works, except that the “DamnSexyBookmarks” links are also affected — I guess they must be part of the “entry.” How do I fix that? The code in single.php is:

    <div class="entry">
    <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry ?'); ?>
    </div>

    so I don’t know where to go to put the SexyBookmarks code out of the entry.

    Hi,

    thank you for the reply. I added that code to the end of my style.php, and unfortunately nothing happened. Any other ideas?

    thanks

    Thank you for all the feedback.
    I emptied the browser cache and the site was a bit slower, but not as slow as you guy said. I think it might be a server issue, I’m on a $1/month hosting plan.

    Are you referring to the images on the homepage, or the ones in the blog posts? Because those in the homepage are already resized.

    Thanks

    @wpyogi: really? The pages always load within 2 seconds on my browser (Chrome). Did anyone else have the same problem?

    Thank you for the feedback.

    The “browse listings” menu on the sidebar is badly designed. You need ONE drop-down menu with the four options, not four with only one options each :).

    When you hover on the green bar it says “view all posts under…[category name],” change it to say “view log cabins in [category name].”

    Pressing on “contact an agent” doesn’t do anything.

    I like the theme though, it definitely has potential, just fix those bugs (and of course the big slideshow in the homepage).

    Thanks for the feedback,

    did you mean white is a good color for the background? I was thinking more of a bluish gray instead of black.
