When you open it in the upper left hand corner it says 'New post on' but there is no date. I would show you a screen shot but can't figure out how to get it into this reply box. thanks, ruth

I have checked the live demo and that's the way the theme is designed to function.

http://kubrickdemo.wordpress.com/2009/07/27/layout-test/

I have gone through every setting in the theme on my blog. I have the date set up properly - what is controlling this and how can I get the date to appear?

And that'd restore the previous setting.

Developers please bring it back!!

You will need to upload your header image again in your Header page (Appearance > Header).

You can access your old header image at http://sacroom91france.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/douce-france.jpg. You can right click that image and save it to your computer and then upload it to your new blog.

As soon as I have something, I'll let you know.

What you do, is to create an 810px wide by 400px tall image in an image editing program and have that with a white color. Then you create a 215px wide by 400px tall block on the right side (align both on the right edge) and make that block the color you want. Then when you have it done, you resize the image (with the "keep proportions turned off in your image editing program) and resize it to 810px wide by 1px tall. You then save that as either a jpg or a png file and that is the file you upload and use.

The 400 tall I used above is just an arbitrary number so that you have enough area to work with.

This can be done in any image editing program such as MS Paint, or Gimp, Photoshop, etc. I actually used Adobe Illustrator because I've done so much illustration work with it that I'm very familiar and quick with it. Photoshop and I can work together, but we aren't the best of friends.

What image editing program do you use?

It was fun doing this for you, and you are very welcome.

Add this to #page and see if it gives you what you want.

border:2px solid #999999;

You can change the color and also the width. I just popped 2px in for an example.

Oopsie! We detected a problem. Don't worry: we're fixing it right now.
