    OK – I am updating this post. I have the header image in my site – and it looks right except that if I resize the browser it doesn’t adjust accordingly. Instead – I lose the logo on the left, and the line underneath as the size changes. Is there a way to fix this? If I choose the “Fix image” box – I lose the whole thing and all I see is the color of the header background – like it is blown up. I am also having trouble getting it to just align all the way left – it is cutting off my logo on the left.

    the size of the header image is 2460 X 154. I have tried changing the size, and cropping it shorter – and this seems to be the size that works the best so far.

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks!

    Thanks Oliver – let’s try the links again so you can see what I am talking about:

    The link for the county web site is working on my end – no errors. I forgot to “launch” my site – so it is now live so you can see what I have:

    https://www.siskiyousafetycommittee.org

    Pretty sure everything is running through the twenty-one options panel…

    OK – so on to my next delimma. Here is the site I am trying to emulate:

    https://www.co.siskiyou.ca.us

    Note the blue buttons with centered text links. I have created a button and can put that on my site – but I can’t move it where I want it – and I can’t seem to get the text to center in the image. I thought blocks could overlap etc – but this isn’t working.

    Here’s the site I am working on – although I am still trying to get it to show up live after setting the homepage:

    http://www.siskiyousafetycommittee.org

    How can I use my button image with text link ion the center and moved where I need it?

    Thanks!

    Thanks Oliver – I get it now!

    The “untitled” is just to left of the publish button – like it’s the name of a page or something. Maybe I am making a custom template – and there is a way to name it? It doesn’t let me change the name.

    Thanks for the fast response!

    Is there anyone on this site? Anyone using this plugin successfully? I am still stuck…

    Thanks though!

    Not sure it’s a footer issue actually – I did the footer in the theme, in the custom functions.php section – and it looks clean (I think):

    remove_action(‘thesis_hook_footer’, ‘thesis_attribution’);

    function add_custom_footer () {

    ?>

    Bingo – that was it – there was text formatting table in there from an html page.

    Thanks alchymth – I am finding Wirdpress a real pain – and this forum a real necessity. If there are some good “general” wordpress forums for a newbie that you know about – that would be great – thanks.

    OK – just to clarify – I have firebug and am using it – but I do not see any changes on the page when altering the above code. Anyone have any suggestions as to where in the style sheet for 2011 the codes are for centering the body of text??? I have searched the forums and it seems this comes up a lot – but there aren’t any consistent answers – at least that I can see so far that I can apply …

    thanks!

    Hmm – my link didn’t come through – so here it is again…

    OK – I have Firebug working – thanks! Awesome helper tool – now where do I find the space that I want to fix? Is it in the .css file?? Or somewhere else? Also – and I apologize for what are probably obvious questions – but if I make a change using the firebug tool – does that actually change the .css file – or do I need to manually go in and make that change for it to take effect?

    Thanks!

    Hmmm – I am not getting the child theme changes to show up. I have the child folder in the themes folder along with the twentyeleven theme folder – which is as the tutorial shows it. I have the following code in the style.css sheet – as per the tutorial:

    /*
    Theme Name: twentyeleven_child
    Description: Child theme for the twentyeleven theme
    Author: Your name here
    Template: twentyeleven
    */

    @import url(“../twentyeleven/style.css”);

    I can make changes show up using the parent css sheet – so it isn’t grabbing the child for some reason.

    rmdechazal – you said:

    “I’m using Twenty Eleven, dark, and have come across the “!important” trick for changing colour values in my menu bar, etc. That works quite nicely.”

    Please share that trick! I am tryijng to figure out how mto change the black menu bar to white and the the corresponding link text. I set up a child css folder – but have no experience with that. I tried to just change the background color of the hover function:

    #access li:hover > a,
    #access ul ul :hover > a,
    #access a:focus {
    background: #efefef;
    }

    But I did not see a change in the parent theme.

    Is the color of the menu bar hidden in this portion of the css file?

    If so – can someone please identify where that is? Thanks
