Hi! Maybe I’m a moron, but my left and right sidebars don’t show up! I took out your cat=2 and cat=-2 from the left.php and index.php thinking that would fix it, but no dice. Any help is appreciated! I love the theme!

Sure enough, renee– Just replace the file bellis.jpg in the theme directory with an image of your own. Either rename it bellis.jpg or edit the style.css file for the header section, to reflect the new image name.

Hey Gina- I don't know how comfortable you are with the Wordpress template tags ( http://codex.wordpress.org is an invaluable help), but what you want is certainly achievable. Set the linkdump to display the same category as the main column (at the start of the linkdump loop in left.php , change cat="2" to cat="1"). Then, edit the linkdump loop to display only the title (perhaps link it with the permalink). That would look something like this (removing all of the $ (dollar signs) I inserted to make it display):


< $h3>Linkdump
< $!-- insert The Loop for Linkdump -->
< ?php query_posts('cat=1&showposts=9'); ?>< ?php if (have_posts()) : ?>< ?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		< $span id="post-< ?php the_ID(); ?>">< $/span>< $div class="entry">< $span class="entry-lefttitle">< $a href="< ?php the_permalink(); ?>< ?php the_title(); ?>< $/a>< $/span>
			< $/div>
            < $/div>< $br />
	
		< ?php endwhile; ?>

		< $!-- <$div class="navigation">
			< $div class="alignleft">< ?php next_posts_link('« Previous Entries') ?>< $/div>
			< $div class="alignright">< ?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries »') ?>< $/div>
		< $/div> -->
		
	< ?php else : ?>

		< $h2 class="center">Not Found< $/h2>
		< $p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.< $/p>
		< ?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>

	< ?php endif; ?>


< $!-- end The Loop for Linkdump -->

Good luck!

Hi Again,
I found that this is probably a better place to ask a question about your theme. I did the more tag which did work. Thanks.
I was wondering what I could do that would let the whole post be seen without a continue but only have the post title in the linkdump.

Hey Marissa-

Glad you got the stylesheet working.

If you want to have a little “filed under ‘Blah’” listing in your posts, you’ll just need to make a minor edit to the Loop on the main template.

I suggest looking at http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_category

Ok, so I fixed the style sheet, but is there any way to have categories show up my posts. Something that says filed in . . . ?

Hi, I am trying to install this theme on my blog, but when I go to activate the theme in wordpress admin, it says that the style sheet is missing. Any words of wisdom? Thanks!
