Thanks, a friend managed to send me some screenshots from that browser just a few minutes ago. Looks right on the money. [Gotta love web standards compliancy!]

Thanks. Does anyone here run Mac? ‘Cause I’d like to make sure things look somewhat fine on the platform. Thanks!

At the risk of annoying everyone…

Why does

$pee = str_replace('</blockquote></p>', "</p></blockquote>", $pee);

hit the correctly nested

</p></blockquote>

as well?

Nevermind, kittens. I figured everything out. *rolls eyes*

Okay. Here’s some irony. The second problem, about breaking the line and not indenting was the easiest to solve. So don’t worry about that one. But the blockquote/p dilemma is still in effect.

I really like your logo thingie!

kapeka: I wasn’t critiquing your idea. I rather agreed with it. I was telling other people who might not be using only one theme or whatever that there were indeed dangers in hacking that file directly. A little insurance, if you will, so that I didn’t get accused of destroying anyone else’s site. ??

A simple solution is to change the get_links_list function to take an h-whatever level element as well. I’m sure I’m explaining this all wrong, but the new version of the function could look like get_links_list(“id”, “<h4>”, “</h4>”) and apply those heading levels to the output just like the hardcoded h2 is now. Does that make sense?

I do agree with kapeka about the calling each category by name. It’s a huge pain, but short of including a hacks.php kind of file with your theme it’s the only way to do it without breaking the functionality of other themes in your wordpress install. I’ll say it again [a little clearer]: hacking links.php itself is NOT the way to go. doing so WILL cause problems with the layout [read: CSS styling] of other themes, including the default. Better to call your links from get_links() or [for the brave-ish] hacking the function in some kind of manually included php file in your theme. Those of you who don’t understand what I’m talking about in that last part can forget I even mentioned that.

I know enough CSS to change how it LOOKS on the page. A couple of ul+ul selectors and it APPEARS that it’s not a problem. The problem is the semantic markup is completely shot.

I really like the outward design. However, your HTML is seriously impaired. You put a script and a table before you have the head element. The w3 validator also has a lot of problems with the site. I really like the text replacement though. I’m working on something like that for my blog.

Why tables?

Something I just realized… If you have a trailing slash at the end of your permalinks, Google [logically] thinks it’s a directory and since that directory isn’t there… No links. Just a theory, I’ll know in a few days if that was my problem. I’m getting hit by the googlebot but just not indexed on ALL the pages.

Uh-oh! Somebody needs to add an extra line to that CSS for the header div.

header {
   background: url(‘img/cigsandbeer.jpg’);
   background-repeat: no-repeat;
   height: 120px;
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
}
