WordPress Styles

Archive for May, 2009

First off, I'm a student but do freelance web design for extra money.

I'm pretty good at HTML and haven't had too much of a problem coding for my client's site. BUT now she wants Wordpress integrated, which is causing me to learn CSS and Divs.

Creating a WP theme is not very easy for a newbie … can anyone show me a good place to explain me how to do it? Or could I just hijack the CSS of an existing theme and create it that way?

Wordpress is very easy to theme for.
you can completely make a website with Html and CSS and than just basically slice up your coding adding in the php parts into the selected sections.
when you look at themes you can already see how each page is set up. and how many files there are. you can base off of those. otherwise you can find a premade theme already if you want or use a premade theme and practice or work off of that.

anything else than http://templates.arcsin.se/

I don't know what you mean by "a xml template that is wordpress."

If you mean, you want to find themes for WordPress:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes/Theme_List

My wordpress design is valid and all, but the moment I add an image to my site, it shows a bunch of errors when running it in the validation check.

Can anyone provide me with a code I can use to place images in a wordpess page, which is valid?

A valid IMG tag in XHTML must meet 3 criteria…

All parameters must be enclosed by opening and closing double quotes
There must be an ALT tag for alternate text
The tag must be properly closed.

<img src="Car.jpg" alt="A blue car" />

all the sites i find on google have rubbish themes

I don't know. It depends on what 'good' is to you. Do you have an idea of how you want your site to look? If so, you can easily 1-download a current template and alter it, or 2-design your own. The key here is that you need to know how the WordPress structure works. What type of site do you need the theme for anyway?

This fashion designer likes the idea:

Girls, do you like that style for guys? Guys, would you wear that?

hmmm i think its sorta cool but i don’t really see very many guys wearing it in like everyday life. It looks awesome on the runway though. i might think it was kinda weird if guys at my school wore it!! lol

A Tale Of Two Presidential Workout Fanatics

By MICHELLE MALKIN | Posted Friday, December 26, 2008 4:20 PM PT

Ah, the perks of media affection. On Christmas Day, the Washington Post delivered a front-page paean to Barack Obama's workout habits. The 1,233-word ode to O's physical fitness read more like a Harlequin romance novel than an A1 news article.

Sighed smitten reporter Eli Zaslow, "The sun glinted off chiseled pectorals sculpted during four weightlifting sessions each week, and a body toned by regular treadmill runs and basketball games." Drool cup to the newsroom, stat.

Bush's "(over)exercise of power" is Obama's "time to reflect."

Zaslow imparted us with vital information about buff Bam's regimen: "Obama has gone to the gym for about 90 minutes a day, for at least 48 days in a row."

The Post enlightened us with more gushing commentary from Obama friends and associates, who explain how, as the subtitle of Zaslow's opus put it, "Gym Workouts Help Obama Carry the Weight of His Position."

For adoring journalists, you see, Obama's workout fanaticism demonstrates the discipline and balance in his life. Apparently, what's good for Obama's glistening pecs is good for the country.

Zaslow quoted Obama's Chicago crony Marty Nesbitt, who offered this diagnosis: "He doesn't think of it as something he has to do — it's his time for himself, a chance for him to reflect. It's his break. He feels better and more revved up after he gets in his workout."

And when Obama feels better, the skies will part, the sun will shine (in moderate, environmentally correct, non-global-warming-inducing amounts, of course), and peace will reign worldwide!

Too bad the doughy, McDonald's-chomping, coffee-guzzling members of the White House press corps couldn't see the merits of White House exercise over the past eight years.

After giggling about his out-of-shape colleagues in the media, Zaslow mentioned in passing that President Bush shares Obama's commitment to health.

What he failed to acknowledge is that the same reporters who so greatly admire Obama's lithe figure derided Bush for his training schedule.

Former Post writer Jonathan Chait famously attacked Bush three years ago in an opinion piece for the Los Angeles Times headlined "The (over)exercise of power."

Recounting how President Bush ran 3.5 miles a day and preached more cross-training to a federal judge, Chait fumed: "Am I the only person who finds this disturbing? . . . What I mean is the fact that Bush has an obsession with exercise that borders on the creepy."

Chait argued that Bush's passionate devotion to exercise was a dereliction of duty. "Does the leader of the free world need to attain that level of physical achievement?" he jeered. "It's nice for Bush that he can take an hour or two out of every day to run, bike or pump iron. Unfortunately, most of us have more demanding jobs than he does."

Can you imagine any member of the Obamedia mocking the incoming gym-rat-in-chief this way?

Chait was not alone. Reuters journalist Caron Bohan weaved the same unhinged themes into a piece on Bush's two-hour, 17-mile bike ride with cycling champ Lance Armstrong in Crawford, Texas, in 2005. After noting his six-days-a-week workout schedule, Bohan steered the piece into an anti-war screed:

"Bush says exercise helps sharpen his thinking. But some of his critics view his exercise obsession as an indulgence that takes time away from other priorities. Among them is Cindy Sheehan, the Vacaville, Calif., mother of a soldier killed in Iraq, who until late last week was camped out down the road from Bush's ranch seeking a meeting with him to discuss her opposition to the war. Sheehan, who left her vigil on Thursday to tend to her sick mother, has said she believes Bush should take fewer bike rides to have more time to focus on the 'the nation's work.' "

Fit Republican president = Selfish, indulgent, creepy fascist.

Fit Democratic president = Disciplined, health-conscious Adonis role model.

The good news: In just a few short weeks, W. will be able to exercise in peace, free from the disapproving glares of journalists now rushing to mop the sweat — er, the glisten — from Barack Obama's hallowed brow.

What is with her is that she is correct.

BTW – I read the whole thing.

…or how to reset the Wordpress-blog of my website?
Here's my Websiteblog of Wordpress completly killed: http://positiveblueprint.com/blog
I don't know where to go to reset or to delete my database. Where do I have to go? How to proceed?

index.php is the main file which a php server reads in a directory. other default files are default.php and in somecases home.php etc.

to reset your blog, you need to reset your database, which will destroy all of your data.

please specify what you exactly need to do to your blog.

Is there such a thing? I'd like to design a homepage that is largely static save for the most recent post being pulled in

Plugin you are seeking is

I have had this theme for several years. I know how to change little things like the banner and such at the top. But, I would like to change the font size and color. Both in the body and the sidebar. Is there an easy way for a novice to do this? Here is my blog: http://mrbradg.com

Thanks ahead of time!!
There seems to be a million different places to change the font in the css file. Is there a easy way to change each one or just change them all?

Look in your theme's style.css file. Or look in your dashboard and you can edit it in the dashboard area. The exact location in your dashboard will depend on what version you have, so just look for something like Themes.

What should I do to get my hair to look like Ashley Tisdales in this pic?? I want it to look really full of volume at the top like hers, but how do i do that??

Looks like maybe her hair was curled with a jumbo barrel hot iron, then also teased slightly at the root before being pulled back. Put on a good spritz of hairspray,and voila! It shouldn't be that hard to do on yourself. Good luck!
