Miracle of Miracles
This is magic, miraculous code! The two divs actually sit nicely side by side with one floated left and one floated right: <div style=”width:65%; float:left; padding-left:30px; padding-top:10px; padding-bottom:10px;”><img src=”http://www.goldenbrewski.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/brickranch00.jpg”> </div> <div id=”image_flicker” style=”width22%; float:right; padding-top:20px; padding-right:20px;”></div>

20. November 2008
This is the original nav_menu.php code: <li><a <?php if (is_home()) echo(’class=”current” ‘); ?>href=”<?php bloginfo(’url’); ?>”>home</a></li> <li><a <?php if (is_page(’archives’)) echo(’class=”current” ‘); ?>href=”<?php bloginfo(’url’); ?>/archives/”>archives</a></li> <li><a <?php if (is_page(’about’)) echo(’class=”current” ‘); ?>href=”<?php bloginfo(’url’); ?>/about/”>about</a></li> First, I changed it to this: <li><a <?php if (is_home()) echo(’class=”current” ‘); ?>href=”<?php bloginfo(’url’); ?>”>Home</a></li><?php wp_list_pages(’sort_column=id&depth=1&title_li=’); ?> Then I decided to manually code in the links, so I [...]

15. November 2008
I have a Dead Tree Addiction. Somehow words seem clearer and truer, and their cadence more lovely when I read them on a printed page, rather than a computer screen. So, when I read a well written blog post, one that addresses an important issue, one that speaks clearly to me, my first inclination is to hit “PRINT”. [...]

12. November 2008
It looked to me that left edge of the nav bar was a couple pixels out of alignment with the left edge of the logo, and I couldn’t seem to get them absolutely spot on. So, I elminated the problem entirely by floating the nav bar to the right

12. November 2008
The original Copyblogger logo font size was 5.0em. I changed it to 4.0em, then 3.5em, then 3.0em, then back to 5.0em, then finally back to 3.0em. For the particular blog I think it will stay 3.0em for now. Also seriously thinking about deleting the “American Typewriter” font, although I ~know~ that’s the “copywriter” idea…

11. November 2008
This morning I downloaded and installed the Copyblogger theme on one of our blogs. As usual, the first order of business for me is Make the Columns Wider. In the stylesheet I changed #content_box from 72.8em to 97.8em I changed #content from 46.8em to 61.8 em I changed #sidebar from 20em to 25em I changed #nav from 72.8em to 102.8em

9. November 2008
Have you ever worked on a custom banner for a WordPress blog, and no matter how you tweak the padding and margin settings in the stylesheet, it just won’t position properly? Or it positions properly in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox, or vice-versa. Here’s helpful trick: Add the padding with a transparent image. And Better [...]

7. November 2008
After setting up the author image code, I decided my next step would be linking the author name to the author’s profile page. I decided on a profile page rather than an email link to a). initially keep the reader drilling deeper into the blogsite for more information, and b). the profile page can then [...]
