Also, does anyone know why the colors - in the Confit theme - of the post title, links, and "Follow" appear to be a darker color than I actually specified in the custom color css?! I would like it to be the same color blue, but can't seem to achieve the same color.

#c3 .widget_image {
	background: none;
	float: left;
	padding: 8px;
}
#c3 .widget:first-child {
	margin-top: 10px;
}

Note that this will adjust all image widgets in the right sidebar, if you want to add more image widgets later and you don't want the new ones to have collapsed spacing, then you can adjust the CSS to only affect specific image widgets. For now though, the CSS example above is quick and easy based on the content you've added so far.

I am using Theme Weaver II

We don't have that theme here at WordPress.com. I'm sorry but we cannot help you here at WordPress.com with any sites not being hosted by WordPress.COM. This is the correct forum for your software http://wordpress.ORG/support/ If you have not registered a WordPress.org username account yet you can do so on the top right hand corner of the page I just linked to so you can post to those support forums.

  < This puts a nice space between the icons
Copy the above again, and repeat it for each service

I suppose another way would be to use a single text box widget and create the HTML that links to the self hosted images that themselves link to the social network pages, I think you are hosting them yourself anyway, stick them in your block and set up the images to link to the extrenals

Try removing the flickr styles you have in your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor and add this instead:

.widget_flickr #flickr_badge_uber_wrapper {
	width: 100%;
}
.widget_flickr td a {
	float: left;
	padding-right: 1em;
}
.widget_flickr td br {
	display: none;
}

I have the custom CSS option and previously succeeded in doing it but the html code of the widget seems to have changed and my CSS code isn't working anymore.
The code I was using :
.widget_flickr .flickr-size-thumbnail a {display: inline-block; float: rigth;}
.widget_flickr .flickr-size-thumbnail img {display: block; float: rigth;}

If you look at the showcase page for the theme you are using, you'll see links to info on how to use various elements of it:

Also, I think it would help you to learn how to use WordPress.com in general, so look here too:

1) I am using custom forever theme (but not the CSS part).
i am trying to do 4 or so different posts horizontally across my blog on the home page with a photo for each one across in a line (like the wedding template of the forever theme example) but i can't. does it mean the wedding template they show you can only be done by CSS? surely the design themes (templates) they show you should show you the basic template (so you can wisely choose which one you like & works best for your blog) instead of showing you an example of one that has been changed using CSS or other ways????

If there is a way to do this without any CSS knowledge please tell me.

#searchfield {
	display: none;
}
#nav-menu {
	width: 750px;
	font-family: helvetica, sans-serif !important;
	font-size: .9em !important;
}

Adjust the font-family and font-size properties as necessary.

The first block hides the search form to give the menu more space. If you decide to remove that block and bring the search form back, you should also adjust the width in the #nav-menu block accordingly.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the suggestion, though, I'll post my question there too.

1.) On my regular blog (using the Twenty Eleven theme) there is a gray bar that appears at the bottom of new posts. It's located near where the posted date and the "Leave a Reply" fields are located. This bar seems to extend the entire width of the site and beyond. It doesn't seem to affect anything, but it is aesthetically displeasing.

2.) When Onswipe is activated (I've disabled it for now), the text stretches beyond the borders of the iPad so you have to scroll horizontally. This is definitely a pain when trying to read my posts.

I am guessing one is related to the other, but I'm not sure. Help?
