After some more experimenting, I've found that #primary is the most sufficient to use to cover most of the page. Initially it wouldn't cover the sidebar area so I gave #primary a padding to cover the rest of the page and positioned the sidebar over it. It worked very well, thanks again.

Also, are you certain #page is the one you want to modify? If there are more specific divs overlaid on top of #page, then of course those ones won't be transparent unless you set transparency on the more specific divs too (like ou mentioned). For example, in Toolbox, #main has the background set to white. If you set #page as transparent, then the #main div will still be opaque white over the top of it unless you change #main too.

Use this to see what I mean:

#main {
background: none;
}
#page {
background: rgba(29, 50, 31, 0.7) !important;
}

Note that because of the way Toolbox is designed, it might not work well to turn the background off for #main though.

Seeks

Check out the blog, I would love to welcome you in and have you guest star........

check it out! !

This support forum is for WordPress.com hosted blogs only. If you have a self-hosted WordPress blog you need to seek help at the WordPress.org forums, not here.

If you don't understand the difference, you may find this information helpful.

You would need to hire a hosting provider to host your site, get a domain name if you don't already have one. Hire a web developer who would design and program your website. If you want static pages - no programming/database involved, hire a web designer.

If you don't want to hire a web designer/developer, there are CMS software available such as Joomla. For forum software, there are many to choose from as well, like: BBPress or Simple Machines.

Hope this helps

And yes support is closed but I still keep an eye on things and help out for things that I think shouldn't wait.

Besides, it's nevertheless closed for the weekend.

So when the checkbox is on, the special characters box wouldn't disappear, so one could just click on the special characters buttons and yay, writing made easy! Then, just before putting on the last character, uncheck the checkbox, and the last character will appear on the screen and the box would disappear normally.

I believe it would be useful. Also, if there's some Shift, Ctrl whatever some key combination, hotkey or easter egg to already do this function, I don't want to hear it. It just proves that it isn't too easy to find and thus, use.

And how do you know those other blogs have less hits?

re: first poster

It only takes recent posts into account. If your post is older than 1-2 months then it won't be included in the top posts algorithm. Otherwise top blogs would be feature "older" blogs most of the time.

Although I've been told by staff many times it's updated every hour. They tell me that when I tell them of a spblog I find on one of those lists.
