Here's how I found it using Chrome's built-in web inspector: http://cl.ly/OxeQ

#tertiary {
width: 27.7273% !important;
}

#tertiary {
width: 27.7273%;
}

However, when I click add the display:none rule to the .post-icon, the changes are made, but not saved.

How to I make sure the changes are saved and applied instead of just appearing in firebug?(clicking save does not work)

urgent pls help

2. How can I make my header linkable? Thank you.

You can't add links directly using CSS, but often you can set a background to a link element that's already clickable and use that to make what you add with CSS appear clickable. In your current setup, you might start by hiding the current header image like this:

#headerimage {
	background: none;
	height: 0;
}

Then you could make space inside the site title area used by the MistyLook theme to add a new header image as a background for the site title link:

#header {
	width: 938px;
	padding-bottom: 0;
}

#header h1 a {
	display: block;
	width: 958px;
	height: 116px;
	background: url('http://www.burnerprep.com/00224-1/design/images/header-bg.png') no-repeat;
}

For a final touch, you can hide the tagline area (the "h2" in the header) to get rid of the space it's using up and you can remove some padding from the feeds to tighten up the space below the header image:

#header h2 {
	display: none;
}

html #feedarea {
	padding-top: 0;
}

1. My main site is http://www.burnerprep.com. Can I edit the header and footer css of my WordPress blog theme, MistyLook, to give it the appearance of my main website (the categories on the sides and the menu on top).

What you'll want to do is look at the CSS in the main site for inspiration. In order to edit and work with the CSS, I would also recommend starting out with a tutorial such as http://www.htmldog.com/guides/cssbeginner/ so that you can learn the basics. You should also learn how to use your browser's web inspector tool. Most modern browsers have one and it let's you right-click on an element and select "Inspect Element" to see the corresponding HTML and all of the CSS that apply to it.

I will start you out with an example. I used my browser's web inspector and looked at http://www.burnerprep.com/ and found that this image is used for the ".content-holder" background:
http://www.burnerprep.com/00224-1/design/images/content-holder.png

Then I looked at

#container {
	background: url('http://www.burnerprep.com/00224-1/design/images/content-holder.png') repeat-y;
	border: 0;
}

That image is 958 pixels wide though, so you could either adjust the image and upload a smaller version of it or you can expand the width of the blog. To expand the container for the MistyLook theme, you might start with something like this and adjust the numbers until you like how it looks:

#container {
	width: 958px;
}

#content-main {
	width: 73%;
}

#sidebar {
	width: 24%;
}

When you connect to your Dashboard over an HTTPS connection, we use an SSL certificate to encrypt your connection. SSL certificates need to be signed to a specific domain, and we can't provide certificates for every mapped domain, so our certificate is signed for WordPress.com.

The certificate is only used when you connect to your Dashboard via your own domain.

So there is something odd on the Google side as well, methinks.

And I find it curious that since you both have the upgrade, you were not able to log a support ticket initially, unless something's changed in that area as well.

Email from Google is

Googlebot noticed your site host name, https://teamoyeniyi.com/, does not match your SSL certificate Subject Name
May 16, 2012

Dear Webmaster,

The host name of your site, https://teamoyeniyi.com/, does not match any of the "Subject Names" in your SSL certificate, which were:
•*.wordpress.com
•wordpress.com
This will cause many web browsers to block users from accessing your site, or to display a security warning message when your site is accessed.

To correct this problem, please get a new SSL certificate by a Certificate Authority (CA) with a "Subject Name" or "Subject Alternative DNS Names" that matches your host name.

Thanks,

The Google Web Crawling Team

I tried to lodge a support ticket but the form is not displaying properly.

I'll try this suggestions and see if these fixes will result in the home page I was hoping for. I'll let you know.

What we can do, however, is help you learn what CSS you need to add to make specific changes. For example, here are two past posts that make similar requests:

To make the built in header image in Imbalance 2 full width, see http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/enlarging-your-header-image-in-imbalance2?replies=4#post-790098

To make the top navigation menu in the Imbalance 2 theme horizontal instead of vertical: http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/align-menu-tabs-side-by-side-in-imbalance?replies=22#post-764995

For other issues, please post a new thread in the CSS forum for each one.

I would like a step by step guide create my homepage to look like home page on :http://thepatternedplate.wordpress.com/

I'm not sure if I created the home page correctly from the start.
