Great site you have though and I've bookmarked it. My major was architecture, but I never finished.

But I have one last question...would it then be possible to place the "leave a comment" right after the post, before the "share this" line?

Thanks again !

I don't see a clean way to do it.

k.

Since the block of meta data at the left of the post where the comments link is, is in a separate div from the post content, keeping it aligned where you want it will be difficult. As likes go to two or three lines - or more - the comments link will not shift with it since it sits outside of the post content div. If the comment link is shifted to the right to appear in the post content area, it can also mean other things will run over it, again such as in the case of likes going to two or three lines.

Text could be added to the comments link text using CSS, but the original text cannot be changed. It can be hidden and then new text added via a before or after CSS trick if you wished to do that.

I would be greatful grateful if you could help me resolve the following issue. I'm using the Elemin theme and I would like to move the "Leave a comment" link from the left hand side of the post to the bottom of the post. Next to that link I would like a link that says "Read other comments". Ideally the appearence of those links would be the same as the "Share this" "Like this" text that already sits below the posts.

Thank you very much in advance for your time.

Regards!

.post {
	position: relative;
}
.comments-link {
	position: absolute;
	bottom: 0;
}

Thank you for your help.

#content .comments-link a {
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #000;
}

Adjust the color as needed.

Those suggestions took care of the problems. Before, if I made the widget titles a normal size, the post title was billboard sized.

The 0to255 website will be very helpful since I feel like experimenting with colors these days.

If you have time for one other question, I tweaked the email subscribe button a few days ago by copying someone's modification for a different blog theme. It worked for elemin but changed the shape from rounded corners to a regular rectangle.
I couldn't see in the style sheet where to change the elemin button color, which has a nicer shape that I'd like to keep.
I could post this question under a different topic if necessary.

Second, I’d like to make the “leave a comment” link text larger and maybe a different color so it doesn’t disappear on the page (at the bottom of the tags and categories).

Try this:

.entry-meta .comments-link a {
	color: #f00;
	font-size: 140%;
	font-weight: bold;
}

Adjust the percentage and change out the color code as needed.

First, I would like to make the post titles smaller and the widget titles on the right (recent posts, categories, etc) larger

You have the heading size set to "-5" on the Appearance → Custom Design → Fonts page and that's crazy tiny for widget titles. :)

Try adding this to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor to just target those:

#secondary .widget-title {
	font-size: 16px;
}

I'm using the elemin theme with custom upgrade for my political-culture.com blog and have run into some obstacles.

First, I would like to make the post titles smaller and the widget titles on the right (recent posts, categories, etc) larger, but they are both h1 headers. If I make the first smaller, the second become microscopic. I wasn’t able to find anything in the css that could explain the size difference if they’re coded the same. Can you help?

Second, I’d like to make the “leave a comment” link text larger and maybe a different color so it doesn’t disappear on the page (at the bottom of the tags and categories). What I tried was changing the font size under “Post Metadata and Post Format Icons”:

.entry-meta a {
font-size: 13px;
font-style: normal;
font-variant: small-caps;
text-decoration: none;
}

but that made all of those tags, etc. larger, too, which defeated the purpose. Can you recommend something I could try?

Thanks for your help!

.comments-link a .no-reply:after {
	content: "Be the first to comment!";
	visibility: visible;
	padding-right: .5em;
}

I would prefer that the # is followed by "Commen(s)"

ex. "2 Comments", as opposed to just "2"

I would also like there to be text when there are no comments that reads: "Be the first to comment" as opposed to the little speech bubble being blank as it is now.

Is there ANY way to change this using CSS is the custom CSS form?

Thanks

The reason for that id that I have observed that the blogs that have large blocks of garacatsrs created by like button clicker tend to have what I characterize as low quality content or even no quality content. So I sure as heck don't want my blogs to be associated with those blogs at all.

I just was interested in having the like count visible next to the comment count so more people are encouraged to view an entire post.

For example:

Post Title | 10 Comments | 6 Likes

If it is a setting you can disable it from showing.

Let's pretend I am subscribed to your blog. You publish a post and it appears in my WordPress.com reader. There are two ways I can "like" your post:
1. I can click the "like" button in my reading list above your post;
2. Or I can click into the blog, read the post and click the "like" button.

re: 1 I have inserted "the more tag" into my posts to prevent this, and I have also set my RSS Feed for posts here > Settings > reading to "summary".

Would be awesome to have that option in the share settings. For now it looks like it is just above comments when viewers go to actual post and read through it.

So maybe instead if you want the option it could be a setting you turn on when you turn on the like button that says:

Show like count on all of posts.
