Setting up new blog and having some trouble...

[antonis]

Hey all

so I'm fine tuning my blog (working on a slightly edited version of Polaroid 2):

http://www.forgetphotography.com/blog/

and experiencing some trouble (I'm a level 1 amateur!). If anyone could help, it'd be great

1) Can't find out how to lock the images position: I want the space given to the images to always # be the same regardless of each image's actual size (so that when you click on "previous" you don't have to move your cursor in the next image, basically)

2) While all else is ok in Mozilla, I'm having trouble with IE: images appear with a blue border and sometimes clicking previous takes you to a blue screen and you need to click "refresh" in order to see the next image.

That's it for now I guess :-) and thanks to everyone for putting together pixelpost, it rocks!

1) out the image inside a div with a height restriction ... <div style="height:asbigasyouwantpx"><img src="dsgsdlf"></div>

2)apply border:0; in your css to your photo element.

I'll try these out as soon as my laptop comes back from surgery :( Thanks for helping anyway ;)

This worked, thanks a lot :)

']2)apply border:0; in your css to your photo element.

This, however didn't - any idea what I might be doing wrong?

The annoying border not only didn't disappear from IE but it appears in Mozilla now too - and has changed from blue to gold. I've got no clue how to correct this! :confused:

[Joe[y]]

you need to change:


.image
{
margin : 3px 3px 3px 3px;
padding : 0px;
border: 0px;
}


to


#image
{
margin : 3px 3px 3px 3px;
padding : 0px;
border: 0px;
}

thanks joe[y], this also worked!

the only remaining problems appear in IE (of course!)

1) Sometimes, a blank page will come up instead of the blog - refreshing always solves this

2) The blog's name (in the bottom-left corner) is cut off

any ideas how to solve these?

many thanks for your help again ;-)

i'm stuck i'm afraid. whoever wrote the template should have a better idea of what's wrong with your navigation in IE as well as sometimes it disappears for me.

[antonis]

no probs thanks for trying, i've posted the question on the template's post

and waiting to see if people there have any idea how to help.

Cheers ;)

and turned it into this mess:

http://www.forgetphotography.com/blog/

and still have some problems, minor this time:

a) the last of the thumbnails in the thumbnail row refuses to go together with the others and annoyingly sits outside the wrapper. How can i correct this?

*UPDATE problem appears in Firefox only. Annoyingly, IE comes up with a blank page after one click or two*

b) how can I edit what <COMMENT_POPUP> says? I simply want to change this from "Comments" to "Add your comments" but I've been completely uncapable of doing so

thanks ;-)

[Joe[y]]

woah is that my lightwhite template? lol. what's happened to it!? anyway, try adding clear:both; to #thumbrow in your stylesheet file.

b) check out your language file. there should be a variable for this.

[antonis]

i owe you again :-)

and while you are at it, i've got another question... RSS feed doesn't seem to work on the blog, what could be wrong?
