I just use the option to automatically insert it at the end of each post, so it bookmarks the post, even from the front page. There’s also this:

Sorry, probably not much help, but just in case you hadn’t seen that.

Not sure, but I think you have to put it in every .php file where you want it to show up.

It depends on how it is set up. My two column theme had a main content div that was floated right, and a sidebar div that was floated left. To swap them, all I had to do was reverse the float. If you run Firefox you can add a plugin called Firebug that will help you inspect the CSS and the HTML. Float is a CSS property that is applied to div blocks. It is set in the stylesheet.

Ah, okay, my mistake. They behaved like widgets so I assumed they were. My bad.

A lot of themes come with placeholder widgets in the sidebar. As you see, they don’t show up as being used in the Widgets panel, but are replaced when you drag any new widget to the sidebar. If you are dragging a new widget to Sidebar 1, it will only replace the placeholder widgets in Sidebar 1. You’ll also have to drag a new widget to Sidebar 2 to replace the placeholder widgets in Sidebar 2.

If you’re say that dragging a calendar to Sidebar 1 doesn’t replace a placeholder calendar widget in Sidebar 1, then that’s a flaw in the theme code.

I doubt all the best .com names are taken. If you want to start your own brand, then it should be so unique that it’s not being used anywhere else anyway. The .me domains sound like yet more self-absorbed twitterheadedness.

Not an easy one. I know WordPress has an image uploader, and it might have formatting options, but I’ve never used it. There are also tricky ways to write code that force an image to fit where you put it, but I’m not good enough with HTML to tell you how to do that. Hopefully someone better at that will comment.

Testing.

Aw man, you totally messed it up! ??

LOL

BTW, how do I quote someone’s comments in these dialogue sessions? I see that someone quoted me in their response. It has my original comment in a block. How did they do that?

Copy, Paste, then Mark the text, then use the b-quote button. b-quote means blockquote, and is a standard HTML ‘tag’.

Totally understand.

Go then to:

And spend some time finding one or more that looks like they might work. Install several and try them out. You can’t really “break” anything by trying, so give several a run.

I decided to use this one as a starting point:

Although I’m using some clever scripts (written by a pro, not me) to load the videos at my site, the look was changed entirely by working with the Theme Editor files.

I am by no means a WordPress expert. It’s taken me a long while to get to where I can manipulate the relatively simple stuff. You will need to understand HTML and CSS to do even that. If you have FF, install a plugin called Firebug, and it will help you analyze your website. The width of your main column is set in your CSS style sheet, found here:

Go to Dashboard>Design>Theme Editor>Stylesheet (style.css)

Using Firebug (on your website, not your stylesheet) you can figure out what part of the stylesheet is setting the column widths. If you make the content column wider, you will usually also need to make the entire page wider. If none of what I just said makes sense, join the club! It takes a while, and a real desire to dig in. If you want to be a technocrat, you have to learn the tech.

Easy out – get a different theme with wider columns, or downsize those photos.

It looks okay in both FF and IE7 from here. But….You have some photos that are wider than your main content column, like in this one: Troy Polamalu Is Back!

It may be that your version of IE isn’t handling the overrun gracefully. Suggest you try either making those photos smaller, or dive into the code and make your content column wider. I’m just guessing, but it might be a start.

Survey is closed?

Thanks,

I didn’t want to delete Admin, get locked out of my site, and then be told that deleting Admin was a big mistake.

Thanks Dgold,

Yeah, I’m looking at pulling some of the material out of the sidebar and putting it under the main content. I’ll look at the Hemingway theme.
