Yes I love all of his styles for that very reason.

Thanks lads. I have permission to port Afterglow next then they are both being ported to TXP and I shall soon be hosting wchulseiee’s current design.

No, he has nothing to do with The Bomb Site other than we know each other via the net. I asked Podz about this something like a week ago. Judging by the gobbledy gook you get at his URI I suspect there may be a problem with his PC/Server but I’m only guessing. He was always moaning that the net “seemed slow”. I was going to ask at “brokencode” cuz I knew he was doing some work there but I’d lost the addy.

The answer to your last question is no I don’t. The problem with it though is that you still wouldn’t be able to “post” to the page. Now I’m thinking off the top of my head here but I would have thought that one solution would be to have a PHP “include” on your page that just calls one specific post. You would then be able to edit that post whenever you needed to. You would need to make it invisible to your Blog page though else it will appear there in the normal manner. Marking it as “private” or “draft” would do that or give it it’s own “category” which is hidden from the Blog but I’m not sure if that would also affect the page you want it to appear on. As that page is outside the Blog it might ignore this. Now you need someone with more PHP knowledge than me to tell you how this can be done. I haven’t tried it myself but there is a “Staticise” plugin over on the Wiki which you might find useful.

Well I was under the impression that’s exactly what WordPress does or am I missing your point.

I’m not sure if there’s a way to “post” to them but if you chmod 666 any files you want to edit you can then bring them up in the “template” section where you can edit them directly. If they are files you edit regularly you can add them to the menu underneath the editing window but that requires editing the template.php file in the wp-admin folder. If you scroll down nearly to the bottom of that file you will see a little block of HTML which is the menu list. Just add your files there in the same format. Don’t forget they must be chmod 666 and if you upgrade WP you will need to modify the template.php file again.

Nice framing.

I’ve emailed you on that problem Root.

Just to put people straight on the menu background, it runs from top to bottom – that’s the top of the “screen” to the bottom of the “screen”. At the top it then gets “hidden” behind the “header” and at the bottom it is “hidden” behind the “footer”. In the style that Goodsnake is using there is no background colour defined in the “footer” – it is in effect transparent so you see the bottom of the menu which you don’t normally see. If Goodsnake wants to add a background colour to the “footer” then that is up to her but it is not for me to alter other peoples’ designs other than to correct any rendering problems.

Have you tried just using <center></center> ?

Nice one Podz. Thanks.

There are downloadable help files for HTML and CSS at The Web Design Group.

That closing div for “post” is definitely missing in your index.php file. If you check with W3C they will confirm it. The reason that your “comments” page seems to be OK is a combination of the “post” tag being missing and that extra closing div you have which shouldn’t be there but replaces the missing “post” tag. You should remember that the post is carried over to your comments page. It’s tag is missing. The extra one you have on your comments page replaces it. Both pages are wrong. In this case two wrongs do make a right as far as your comments page is concerned.

Yes I think there is a combination of things here. I found the other closing div but the “post” div isn’t closed. Just before your “footer” div you will see a closing “div” tag. There should be two. And there’s a 16px “margin-left” in your footer as mentioned by Root which is probably shifting it across. You also have a width in your footer which I don’t think you need as it is contained by the “container” div.
