That is not a CSS thing. That would require hacking the underlying theme PHP script files and we cannot do that here at wordpress.COM.

I am wondering if there is a way through the custom CSS tool to make the home page featured image thumbnails continuous - instead of ending after 4 rows and needing to click the arrow to see older thumbnails.

Thanks

That's what I thought so I'm glad I now clearly understand both of you ...
I think {just kidding} ... I do understand. :)

Generally speaking wordpress.com blogs are non-commercial blogs. The ToS which all bloggers agree to to blog at wordpress.com also clearly states, "the Content is not spam, and does not contain unethical or unwanted commercial content designed to drive traffic to third party sites" so business bloggers must be mindful of that contractual term. Although we do have some business blogs here they are not allowed to transact business through their blogs or to post more than one discrete affiliate link.

Actually I meant we as the general "everybody's included here at wp.com" sense. :)

My point remains though as "we" do have commerical blogs here at wp.com without issue that do not exist within the VIP program. It's a matter of what you do with your blog.

Not a biggie though.

aside: {Gosh I thought drmike's "we" meant "at wordpress.com" and can't imagine anyone interpreting it in any other way.}

drmike, "only when someone is selling stuff it is a problem" is not correct.

I think "Generally, we do not allow commercial blogs." is clear, and my recommendation is only to report blatantly spam. Or mature content, which you arrive at through community features like community tags or blog of the day.

drmike, aside, when you say "we", people unfamiliar with your role may confuse you as staff. Something to be careful about.

@drmike
Sometimes, in cases like this one, it's obvious that a blog is being used primarily drive traffic to a commercial site. I guess that's when you wanted us bloggers to put up a ToS tag and move on without posting anything and without reporting the blog to staff. Is that right?

drmike — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 23:58:47 +0000

The issue I felt (since it's moot now as the blog has been tosed) is that we do allow commerical blogs. It's just when folks are trying to seel stuff is when they're not.

We also have a television station weather blog here at wp.com (that I can't find although we've talking about it here int eh forums) It's commerical but yet they don't sell anything.

*acknowledged* If it's blatant spam on the forum put up a modlook tag without posting. If it's spam or mature elswehere - report it. When in doubt on the forum put up a modlook tag and move on without posting.

Timethief, the good news is that you do not have to worry about it. Only staff do. If it is not blatant spam or mature, then why report it.

*sigh* I'm as clear as mud about what VIP blogs are allowed in terms of advertising and which blogs are and which blogs aren't VIP blogs.

lloydbudd on "andreas"

lloydbudd — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 23:06:42 +0000

Your point drmike? As you know that is VIP hosting. "Generally". The exception that makes the rule.

Actually a company blog is fine and allowed in the ToS. It's just when you start selling stuff off from it is when there's a problem. (I don't see any of that. Please let me know if you do.)

Why not reset you're CSS? Go to the CSS editor and choose the "Start from scratch and just use this" option and clikc on Save Changes. Afterwards, click on the "Add to existing CSS" and click on Save Changes again.

Bad, bad bad! You're not supposed to have a company site on WP.com!

I just purchased credits so that I can add a custom header to the (very nice) andreas theme.
However, I clicked to take a look at the site and consider which image I was going to choose, the page loaded with the entry column out of place. (I hadn't even touched it yet!)

Anyone had this happen? Have any quick fixes? I'm a CSS novice, and it would take me a long time to try to adjust it (assuming it will read the same to all viewers). Any feedback would be awesome. Thanks so much.

Hi chris, I find the easiest way to tweak CSS is to use firebug(firefox extention). If right-click on the page and choose "inspect element" firebug will pop open and tell you exactly what class/id & current css properties it has.

Hello All - I really like the Hemingway template on WordPress.com, but it seems not so tweak friendly for simple colors and font changes. I was only able to change a few elements and made little progress. I admit, I'm a newbie to CSS, but still; it seems there are definte limitations in place. I only want to make some SIMPLE changes. Checking the forums on this, I see others ran into this before. Is this correct, or do I need to get some CSS training? Any info will be greatly appreciated. -- Thanks.

You mean like this?

drmike on "wrapper"

drmike — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 22:41:15 +0000

Best bet would be to upload a white picture file and replace those two URL with it. If you don't redeclair something that's mentioned in the CSS file with something newer in your edited CSS, your browser will assume that you want the previously declaired stuff.

Hope this helps,

Hi,
I'm a bit of a css newbie and I'm trying to strip the kubrick theme to complete whiteness.
The problem is no matter what I do I can't get rid of the wrapper, I think this is the part of the related code:

div#wrapper { background:#dfdfff url('/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbg.jpg') repeat-y top left; text-align:left; width:760px; margin:20px auto; padding:0; } body.single #wrapper { background:#fff url('/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg') repeat-y top left; }
