Denis,

I think perhaps that I did miss a coma, as this time I copied the entire set. The result was no change, which is better than the last result, which was a step back. Hmm, I will look more at it later, but this .css still has the small space at the bottom and larger one at the top. Now, I did not enlarge the image, nor did I delete the text that appears across the top of the header area. Perhaps that will have some impact.

Thanks Denis!

Well, by the end of the day here, for some reason, the dashboard is not displaying again. I checked, and the code at line 146 did not mysteriously change back to stock. It is still as you (Denis) recommended.

Any more ideas?

Thanks!

Thanks for taking a shot at it Denis, but that change took be back to space all around the graphic.

You are much appreciated!

That did it, thanks very much! Your support is incredible Denis!

And in case anyone is wondering, I added a new category called “Important Links” to the category list, then moved the links from the blogroll to the new category, now the links display in the “Important Links” category.

WOW! Where in the world did you even FIND a Mullenweg doll?

??

OK, then can I temporarily remove these links from those pages they show up on until the WP 2.0 people figure it out?

mine is working at 644.

Denis,

That gets the margin to zero for the left and right ends of the header graphic, but no matter the size I make the header, there is a small 5 or 6 px space below it, and a much sider, 60 to 70 pc space at the top. But it is much improved over previous looks.

Thanks!

The button displayed at the post screen that reads “intouch” does not work for me, I can however ad or remove the code as described above to ad/delete the form.

Brian,

I only pale in comparison to the help Denis can provide you, but here is the response I got from my hosting company:
========================================================
Myisam is the standard database engine for mysql while innodb is considered the high-end engine. We support both on the virtual server and only Myisam with the regular MYSQL. myisam is better for most purposes because it’s faster and uses much less disk space. innodb is only necessary when you are doing complex database stuff, such as transactions, foreign keys, etc. These features aren’t supported by the myisam engine.

For what you’re doing you probably won’t need anything else other than myisam. For more detailed information on these two types of engines you may consult the internet. I’ve seen many results on the subject.
=========================================================

Hope that helps, turns out I am set up properly, a support ticket to your host company might determine the same thing for you, who knows.

Ah, I see I was incorrect above about the copyright thing. The copyright line in this theme behaves differently than another theme I an using (regulus).

I dropped the header.jpg into the theme folder, and it worked as expected. It would be nice if there were exact dimensions for the header area and the header.jpg completely filled the header area, no space around. Thus retaining the h1 tag.

I tried the header-background.jpg, and stopped fooling with it after several attempts to make it completely fill the entire header area, using the same image as in the header.jpg file. I tried varying the size, and I could never fill the space to the right of the image, was always a space there. Also with some sizes, the image was cut off at the bottom. But then again, I was probably misusing the header-background.jpg file in the first place, I don’t know.

In any event, I am MOSTLY satisfied, only if the header.jpg with the right dimensions would exactly fill the header area. ??

Was wondering what was going to happen when I messed with those. Sorry for the silly question. Of course it worked just as you said.

Well, let me give this a try, I think he might be talking about something else. At the bottom of the page, if you do not enter a blog title somewhere in the back office, forgot where exactly, it will only show “Copyright 2006” as described above. This same blog title also puts a title in the header at the top.

This is where I think there is another problem, and maybe Denis can expand. I plan to put a full header graphic in the top of my semiologic themed blog, and thus will not need the blog title displayed at the top. But this then causes the footer to have the same issue described at the top of this thread. Another thing, I suspect the blog title is also placed between a couple <h1> tags, and thus valuable to the SE’s, so just leaving it out is not a good option.

Denis, can we put the blog title there but make it invisible at the top, or have it rest behind graphics if graphics are placed in the theme folder?

You are on target Denis!

Did the trick!

That made the links work now, very cool, thanks!

One lingering problem, I created another page and when I go to manage pages, and view that page, the link works fine now from the manage page view, however, the link does not appear along side home | about in the orange bar in the blog.

Thanks again.
