Thanks, I’ll check out dfp.

It’s done and EXACTLY what I wanted. Thank you very much!

I’m very proud: https://www.stoopphilly.com

Question: I used many:

   

to get the spacing I wanted. I did it here and a few other places. I’m sure this is bad coding (like using spaces in a word-processor instead of margin, tabs etc) but the ALIGN command would not work right for me. Maybe there is another HTML command which is better and would preserve the formatting if for instance I alter the column widths?

Thanks!

Wow, its working, not quite right yet though but I made big progress. Its all hit and miss but I am making progress. I’ll post when I figure out exactly where it goes and I get the formatting right. Thanks

I realize I mistyped the subject of this topic. it should read:

Create Custom Title; Add Subscribe Button to Title Line

worked perfectly, thanks! I must have missed that in my search.

Yes I mean the site title. I can’t identify the correct code. I added the button by putting HTML code into a widget in a side column which works. Adding HTML code to a .php file is not the way, right?

I also found Sidebar Login Widget which works well also. Thanks

I used the Share on Facebook plugin and it works fine. geekgoodgirl, your https://www.geekgoodgirl.com site is inserting the extra https:// as well.

This is happening to me as well. The link is posted on facebook but with the extra https:// the link does not work. I’ve tried changing the location in the app removing the https://, saving changes, but it comes back automatically.

It worked! I’m sure I changed that line at some point with no result but can’t be certain now. Thank you very much! I spent a lot of time on this.

2 Questions:
#1: you said line 269. Where do you get that number? I used Firebug (very new user but its great!) and do not see line numbers, can I turn them on? Notepad++ has a very different line number in the parent style.css and the child style.css lines do not pass 100.
#2: I use Firebug and make the changes to the parent style.css after clicking on it in the child style.css within Firebug, is that the right way to test changes?

Thanks again.

I switched to the 3 column option in Coraline and was successful in playing with the percentages to change the width of the columns. Not sure why I could not do it in 2 column but 3 column is a better format for my blog and I now have the result I want. I changed these values:

.three-column #container {
	max-width: 990px;
}

#main-sidebars {
	max-width: 450px;
	width: 75.5%;
}

.three-column #content {
	width: 49.5%;
}

.three-column #primary {
	width: 58.15%;
}

.three-column #secondary {
	width: 31.89%;
}

Thanks

Thanks. It seems the categories are setting up correctly while the post screen pulls the selected subcategory away from the parent and displays it with the other selected categories for that post. New posts show the parent/child category relationship correctly until a child is selected when it is moved to adjoin the other selected categories. I suspect this is done for display only, the parent/child relationship remains intact. My goal was to create a custom menu of the parent and child categories and I can add them individually to this custom menu manually via the menu screen. I’ve got what I need thanks.

No Luck. I was able to change the right column width but only make it smaller than 30% using:

.two-column #secondary {
	float: right;
	width: 30.4%;
}

Any percentage higher than 30% casing the right column to to drop down and not start until after the the end of the left column, even if I make the left column very small. This happens despite changing every margin or padding percentage in the style.css. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

I take back my previous post. I think I made a mistake, I have made some progress. Still working.

I worked with the code changing percentages and have only been successful in changing the width of the main content column, not the sidebar column. I feel now I am just randomly changing this without making any progress. I’ve changed this line which was successful:

.two-column #content {
	width: 64.99%;
}

I’ve also change many others including the two below without any result:

.two-column #primary,
.two-column #secondary {
	float: right;
	width: 30.4%;
}

.content-sidebar #content {
	margin: 0 35.1% 0 0;
}

My goal is pretty simple, increase the width of the right sidebar while decreasing the size of the main content column. I’ve successfully changed the main content column size but am unable to do the same of the right sidebar. Any additional suggestions are appreciated.

I’ve got it working successfully. I’ll begin playing with the column width percentages now. Thanks for your help. Being new to this, I really appreciate it.
