Thanks so much thesacredpath. I will do that next time :) Sorry about that.

This will get rid of the shaded overlay.

#container {
background: none;
}

For CSS related questions, if you could post in the CSS forum in the future it will typically get you a quicker reply since that is where the volunteers answering CSS questions typically look. I've tagged this to have it moved to the CSS forum. Thanks.

Hi,

All of a sudden the sides of background image went shaded. I didn't do anything to change this. How I do remove this and get my normal image back?

Thanks for your help! Greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply! Been checking out sites but learning slowly. Going to use these for sure.

Here's an example for how to add a bottom border and a bottom shadow to the menu in the Twenty Ten theme:

#access {
	border-bottom: 2px solid blue;
	-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 4px 5px rgba(25, 25, 25, 0.25);
	-moz-box-shadow:    0px 4px 5px rgba(25, 25, 25, 0.25);
	box-shadow:         0px 4px 5px rgba(25, 25, 25, 0.25);
}

Not that box-shadow is a CSS3 property and so it won't work on older browsers.

I used this handy little site to figure out what box-shadow properties to add:

I have been searching for how to change the style/look of the menu in Twenty Ten and can not find anything beyond font and color. I'm interested in things like shading and borders to give the menu a sense of depth/texture/something.

I am writing a post at the moment, and this happened again. I turned off all of my extensions and tried closing the blockquote in the same spot, and it still happened. So I know it isn't an extension. Then I opened Safari, copied and pasted what I had written, and tried closing the blockquote. It didn't happen. So, while I can't be completely sure, I have reason to believe it is an issue with my browser. That is about the depth of my computer knowledge, so I have no idea how to investigate further.

The only way Staff can help you is if they are able to duplicate the issue using the same operating system and the same browsers and versions of them that you are using.

I tried to get it to happen again in Internet Explorer and Chrome 18 (with extensions enabled) but couldn't. It only happens sporadically (I at least can't perceive any pattern)... which would make it difficult to test (the only way I would know if it was a browser issue is if it happened in another browser, and I am not about to start using a different browser with regularity).

Have you tried using Chrome with all extensions and add-ons disabled? Have you tried using Firefox or Safari to isolate whether or not this is a browser issue?

canadianrattlesnake — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 23:55:34 +0000

Thanks for the reply. I am using Google Chrome 18.

That is odd indeed. What browser and version are you using?

Occasionally when I end a blockquote when writing a post something weird happens to the screen. Here is a screenshot. It doesn't seem to cause any problems, but it is weird. I would appreciate some help if anyone knows why this is happening.

To be specific, when I end the blockquote, this happens to the screen and it goes away when I scroll up or down or press a key. Again, it isn't really a problem, but I would really like to know what is happening. I did look around the WordPress support website and did Google searches and I couldn't find anything similar.

You can get ideas from my side on my blog. Took me a while to figure how to add features an stuff.

(1) Yes, text widgets are the only way you can do this. But do be aware that text widgets do not automatically update so you will have to enter each post into the widget manually. And this will help with the set up and configuring of text and other widgets.
(2) You separate the entries in a text widget using html coding breaks .
(3) The gray background colour in this Pressrow theme is theme dependent. The only way you can change it is to purchase a css customization upgrade and customize the css coding yourself. This option is not recommended for those who do not have experience with css coding. There is no staff support for learning css but other bloggers will help when they are available on a voluntary basis.
There are three ways to "personalize" wordpress blogs and they are explained in this thread http://wordpress.com/forums/topic.php?id=6406&replies=9
(4) I'm not clear on what you mean by this:
"I'd also like to add other topics, like websites (not blogs) related to my topic."
If by "topics" you mean Categories then you can have as many categories as you choose and you enter them here => Manage => Categories => Add Categories.
If you mean links then you can have as many as you want and you enter them here => Blogroll => Add Links. The link I provided above for text widgets will also help you set up your Categories widget and your Links widget in your sidebar.
(5) Lastly I looked at your blog and have some advice to offer. It's good to be mindful that if you place large images, youtubes, etc. in your posts and you do not limit the number of posts on your front page then your blog will take a very long time to load. This will not be a good thing for readers on dial-up service (25%). You can limit the number of posts appearing on your front page here => Options => Reading now look for:
Blog Pages
Show at most: __posts (enter the number and click "update options" to save the changes).
(6) If the foregoing information is not helpful then please post again and another blogger will assist you.
Welcome to WordPress and Happy blogging :)

mamagigi on "Adding 'Archive Favorites' and more to Sidebar"

Hi:
I've tried using a text widget to create "Archive Favorites," where I can plug in four or five of my favorite posts at the top of my sidebar long after they disappear from the "Recent Posts" heading. (I've seen this on other blogs but can't figure it out.)

I'd also like to add other topics, like websites (not blogs) related to my topic. So, wih these 2 goals in mind, here's my questions:

1) Is the text widget the best/only way to do this?

2) When I do it via text widget, how do I separate each entry so they post titles don't run together?

And most important...

3) How can I get the same light colored background found on Categories, Blogroll, Recent Posts, etc. It looks funny hanging there in white. (It looks so funny I've taken it off until I can figure this out.)

I've tried to read through the forums (and the many on sidebars in general) but don't see anything on point to this. Any suggestions?

I'd really appreciate it!
