You could structure dual header divs, just like the footer divs, to create the same effect as the one already … that is, you wouldn’t necessarily need a background witha black top ’simulating’ a black border for the header.

Something to think about.

Cleaned up the sidebar:

* added “download” link for guide
* cleaned up “categories” and stuff — removed bullets and indenting (removing extraneous ULs)

Also, figured outa “proper” footer

*Challenge: creating a “background” which fits the entire width of the screen, which, unfortunately, is currently outside the “wrapper”

*Solution:

Create a second wrapper “total_wrapper” which is width 100%, around the normal “wrapper”, which is set at 800px and centered.

THEN:

Make sure all of the below is OUT of the “inner wrapper”, which is just called “wrapper”, but still inside of the “total_wrapper”.

THEN … creating “Nested” divs for a single footer: an “outer_footer”, which is set to a width of 100% … it will match the edges of the “total wrapper” (which is already 100%), and an inner footer, which is just called “footer”, which is defined EXACTLY as the “wrapper” width … 800px and margin: auto.

If you set the background color of the outer_footer to whatever you like, you can give the appearance of a bottom-half where the text, set in the inner footer (”footer”), appears to be centered and aligned with all of the rest of the website

VOILA!

NB: Make sure to write “clear: both” for the footer div, so that it doesn’t end up below the “sidebar”, but truly below BOTH content and sidebar divs.

Blurbomat is an inspiration!

Moving on …

Problem 1) Previously, the “theme01″ showed that ALL of the post was a “link”
Solution — an unclosed “anchor” (that is
Interesting way I figured this out.

Using the firefox extension “Edit CSS”, I was able to open up each theme, delete the ENTIRE theme, and then see the results … basically, my own theme was STILL an entire “link” … therefore the problem was clearly the “index.htm” file, which, as mentioned had an unclosed anchor

Problem 2) The fonts don’t look nice.
Solution: I was using the right font “Georgia” … but it was important to write “font-weight: none”, because “Bold” looks damn ugly!

Problem 3) Links and Divs needing improvment
Solution: Easy to do … a: hover had to changed so that the bacckground highlighted with hovering; then added a “div” so that the time is put in a nice box.

Three distinct problems:

1) Losing ALL “formating”
If you write html * {margin: 0 0 0 0; padding: 0 0 0 0;}, in Wordpress at least, you lose the possibility of ALL formatting in the posts … that is, “paragraph” tags don’t give a full space between paragraphs; headers aren’t as tall as they should be etc etc.

Solution: Include the margin settings in the “Body” tag.

HELLOOOOOOO Tony.TheHungs.Org
1. Backing up database:
Use this plug in — http://www.skippy.net/blog/category/wordpress/plugins/wp-db-backup/

Alternatively — there is a “long” manual way via myPHPAdmin:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database

1b. Created new database on Dreamhost (named “Tony”)

2. Installing Wordpress on another server (the usual stuff)
* had to install it on a dreamhost server (this one!)
* created a new “database” entirely so it didn’t have to share the other one with the main blog (thehungs.org)
* in creating a new database, keep in mind the config file: the DB_HOST is **NOT** “localhost” as it is with so many other configs … it is rather “mysql.tony.thehungs.org” or whatever you happen to name it.

3. Re-installing the new backup
The Wordpress Code x has some interesting instructions:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup

However — the latest version fo myPHPAdmin isn’t accounted for!
Here’s what I did –>
panel.dreamhost.com –> ManageMYSQL –> Click on “MyPHPAdmin” next to databaseyou’re interested in –> Select the database you’re interested in on the left –> Click on IMPORT tab –> browse for the SQL file you have backed up and way you go …

Problem shooting:
You need to edit the table wp_options, and edit the first row: siteurl, so it reflects your new one — otherwise when you try and migrate to your new server, you’ll get problems (and all the links will still point to the old one). After that, try and go to the admin panel and point it to your new one and you’ll be good to go.

Razer Diamondback (Razerzone.com is down(!)) Plasma Limited Edition for $70.

1600DPI, 5.8MP, 6400+ FPS capture, 16Bits, high motion dettection 40 inches per second

Also note:

“Razer was not only one of the first to be bold enough to release a 1600dpi mouse, but have taken it a step further with the plasma and have added the first ever infrared optical sensor for optics powered by Razer Precision.? Yes, that means it is invisible.? No more red glow emanating from the bottom of the mouse.? The bottom features some rather large Teflon feet for smooth tracking on any surface.”
