In reply to: Trouble with conditional category tags in index pageThe easiest way to create your own tumblelog with WordPress is to use Sandbox. But there are other, pre-packaged, tumblelog themes out there that are super easy to use.

In reply to: Firefox-IE aligment differencesFWIW I hate using a pre-made template only because I have my own coding conventions and it’s a pain in the butt to figure out what some other guy/girl was trying to do.
Validate first, dollars to donuts that will fix most of your issues.

In reply to: Getting Blog Name in HeaderThe blog title is an image on that particular theme. Create a new image that displays your blog title in it. Make that image 269px by 63px and title it logo.jpg. Then ftp that image to the “images” directory in your “default” folder.
As for the description being in all caps, go to your stylesheet and look for this line:
#header h3 { color: #cccccc; font-size: 10px; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Sans-Serif; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; text-indent: 10px; margin: 0px; }Take out the “text-transform: uppercase;” part.

In reply to: Coverting over to WordPressUh, there’s really no simple answer; especially since I can’t find a link to your current site. Is it a static HTML page? Is there dynamic content? Either way your best bet is to develop your WordPress design locally on your computer and then upload it to your server. Downtime should be minimal.
There are things you can do to make the switch almost instantaneous but they’re a little more complicated than I can explain here.

In reply to: Diamond with question mark in itNo, it’s definitely not a computer issue, it’s a coding and/or theme issue.
First thing I would do is go in and take out the
«and»code. Save the file and refresh the page. Then try to put in→and←instead. See if those HTML codes work.If they do then go back and put in
laquo;again. I’ve run into this problem before and in my experience there’s not a simple solution. It’s just kinda one of those WTF problems.Forum: Themes and Templates

In reply to: modifying commentsI’m not sure there are any plugins out there that allow you to modify what parts of commenters’ information gets displayed on your site. If there are plugins that do that I’ve never heard of them. 🙁
What’s the URL of the site you’re trying to tweak?
Any number of things could be causing this. The first thing that comes to mind is whether or not you have wp-cache enabled. Other than that, I’m at a bit of a loss as to what’d happening here.

In reply to: textpattern importI was able to accomplish this feat by following this tutorial word for word. It can definitely be done.
The problem is that the textpattern.php import script is buggy.

In reply to: Brand new themeThe idea in and of itself is pretty cool. It’s not for me, I wouldn’t use it, but it’s still cool and it’s your blog so it should first and foremost make YOU happy. Don’t worry about what I think about the superficial things like “design”. That said, let me offer some constructive criticism of more important things.
The font is very small for me. I would go no smaller than 12px. I’m a young guy with 20/20 vision and it was hard for me to read.
The site loads very slow for me. I’m on a high speed cable connection with a decently fast computer (2.8ghz processor, 2G RAM) and things seem clunky to me. Takes a while to scroll down the page, minimize the page, etc. I’m not sure there’s any way to remedy this other than removing the javascript. But that seems to me to be a large part of the site, so you may not want to remove it.
Other than that, I think it’s a cool idea. Go with it. BTW, that left angle bracket at the top of your page that you can’t find; it’s an extra thing in your DocType declaration in your header: `<<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd”>`At the very beginning of the doctype there should only be one angle bracket.
