How to edit the Intro on top of each page?
If you wish to edit the introduction on top of each page, go to Dashboard -> General and edit your ‘Tagline’.
How to edit the About section in right sidebar?
If you wish to edit the about section in the sidebar on your right, go to Dashboard -> Appearance -> Editor and select sidebar.php. Edit text and replace the image by your own. Alternatively, you can also delete it completely then go to Dashboard -> Appearance -> Widgets and add a “text” widget to enter some information about yourself.
How to edit banners in right sidebar?
If you wish to add/delete banners in the sidebar on your right (under the section “Our Sponsors”), go to Dashboard -> Appearance -> Editor and select sidebar.php.
Note: you will have to upload your images to your server before editing the code.
How to edit the Logo? Do you have the original PSD file?
No, I can’t give you the PSD file for a simple reason: I don’t use Photoshop!
Divyun created a PSD file for your convenience:
This theme has been entirely designed in Fireworks 8. The original PNG logo file is included in the folder “LOGO – Original PNG File“. To edit the logo, visit their site and download their trial version.
When you are done with editing, export your logo as a jpg image to the folder wp-content/themes/oneroom/images and save it as logo.jpg. Click “Yes” when prompted to replace the image.
You are almost done! Now open header.php in a text editor (e.g. notepad) or browse to Appearance -> Editor from the WordPress dashboard and select header.php. Find this code (I have slightly changed it since then so it might look a bit different for you):
<div id="logo">
<!-- Your Logo image - max-width: 200px -->
<!-- USAGE:
1-create your own logo and save it as logo.jpg in the folder "images" in your theme folder.
2-uncomment code below:
<a class="logo" href="<?php bloginfo('home')?>/" title="Back Home"></a>
-->
<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
Uncomment code to show your image and delete the line below (or comment it if you think you might want to use it later on.)
Note: The font used for this logo is Fontin and can be downloaded here »
Else?
If there’s anything else you would like to ask me, leave a comment below and I will try to do my best to answer you. Please, only ask question related to the theme itself. If it is a question related to the installation or configuration of a WP theme, consult the WordPress forum or the Codex.
This is an example of a WordPress page, you could edit this to put information about yourself or your site so readers know where you are coming from.

hi, nice theme, but i need to adjust the left side width, its too big now.. and i need to make the middle colum bigger, since i have lots of pictures to add in each post.
Jeeremie

You cannot modify the width without editing some images.

hi Jeeremie, i can edit the images without problem.. but can u help me in that, i just need to know which files to modify, and for sure i’ll adjust the images to match the new size.

Put the tag <!–more–> after your image and it will be displayed on the front page automatically

Hi again, Sorry for spamming but I there are some more things I cannot find. Arhcives? sitemap?
The should be in html I guess, but it dose still not show the pic.
thanks
Jeeremie
15 Mar, 2009
@Carl, <–more–> must be inserted in the html editor. However, there’s a button for that both in the visual and html editor. Just click this button or Alt+Shift+T to insert this tag wherever you want in your post.
Also, put your image on top of your post, like this (html editor):
<img src="yourimage.gif" alt="" />Your text come here.
<!--more-->
... and text you won't see on the front page.
There’s no sitemap but you can install a plugin for that. Archives is in the sidebar by default. Otherwise, you can add an Archives section from the widgets.
If you still run into problem, check the documentation.
Carl

good job, gonna add the cart plug-in, so i’ll show ya what it does when it’s done.
one thing, stupid really, i can’t figure out how to make the logo work! like it keeps defaulting to the text i have in my general setting. so frustrating, do i need to recode something?
thanks dude
Jeeremie
18 Mar, 2009
@Carl: Open header.php and find this code:
<div id="logo"><!-- Your Logo image - max-width: 200px -->
<!-- create your own logo and save it as logo.jpg in the folder "images" in your theme folder.
<a class="logo" href="<?php bloginfo('home')? rel="nofollow">/" title="Back Home"></a>
-->
<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ? rel="nofollow">/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
</div>
Modify the code as followed:
<div id="logo"><!-- Your Logo image - max-width: 200px -->
<!-- create your own logo and save it as logo.jpg in the folder "images" in your theme folder.-->
<a class="logo" href="<?php bloginfo('home')? rel="nofollow">/" title="Back Home"></a>
<!-- <h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ? rel="nofollow">/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>-->
</div>

Thanks for a great theme. However, the name of my blog is longer than “OneRoom”, so it doesn’t fit in the box in the top. I would like to either make the box bigger, or make the font smaller so my name fits.
Jeeremie

Open style.css and find #logo h1, #logo h1 a {…}. Change font-size to 1.4em or 1.3em.

Hey, tnx for theme.
I use it on my website: http://wpdesignblog.com/
But the trackbacks doesn’t show in comments.. look here:

2 comments are 2 trackbacks… theme deosn’t show them
Jeeremie
22 Mar, 2009
I read there was a bug in WordPress 2.7 not showing trackbacks. They recommend to upgrade to WordPress 2.7.1 to fix this issue. What version do you have?
Peter
20 Mar, 2009
Another strange thing, i am not good at CSS codes so the image border, see this post:
http://wpdesignblog.com/10-best-apple-mac-os-x-wordpress-themes/
As you can see the border under image is higher that in yours demo website. If you could advice, i mean it should work with all kind of images, size of them.
I use this code:

Hello,
I used your theme and found that some of the features not appear.
1. Trackbacks/Pingbacks not appear
2. How to insert label to pictures in my post? Use any plugin?
3. Can the comment section been converted to threaded comment style?

Hi, I love this theme!
I was wondering if there might be a way to move the right column to the bottom and widen the center column.
Or do you have a better idea for displaying larger images?
Jeeremie
27 Mar, 2009
If you have many images, you can try to install lightbox or a similar script. Or you can search one in the plugins directory.http://web-kreation.com/demos/oneroom/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?p=2&apage=2#comments-form

Do you have a minute to help with changing the logo? I uploaded a new image and replaced the old “logo.jpg”. I then opened the header.php file and found the code you mentioned above, cut it out, copied the modified code and pasted it in the same area. When I load the page I get an error message.
“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in /home/content/v/i/d/videogrfx/html/wp-content/themes/OneRoom/header.php on line 35″ The videogrfx part is my username in the path to the file.
Any ideas how to fix?

Hi. Congratulations for your themes. Great!
I’m studying it for some little change; just to not make it a perfect copy. I’m thinking to use a different bg color for the right and left panels! What do you think?
It’s possible? I ask you because it seems that the equilibrium you reached is fantastic; i wouldn’t mangle the theme but i prefer the blue nuances instead of the green ones. Can you help me in this choice?
Thanx so much.
Jeeremie
1 Apr, 2009
You can have a look at this previous concept I had done if you want to see how it looks in blue: “Concept 4 on Conceptshare“. If you browse my Deviations, you can see a yellow one too.
Is that what you wanted to see?
Phebo
2 Apr, 2009
Thank you Jeeremie. That blue concept is a lot alike to my ideas. But it’s possible to change also the color of the left and right panels background from the color #DEE1D8 into something more closed to light blue?
Another thing: in a comment before (of m.o.m) i saw he added also the sharing button in the left panel, just under comment, categories and tag icons. How can i add the same things?
Stephan
4 Apr, 2009
Very nice theme!
@Jeeremie is it possible to download that version somewhere? It looks interesting in blue.
Jeeremie
6 Apr, 2009
No, you can’t download the blue version. That was just a concept and I have coded the green one since most of the people prefered that one. Sorry.

Hi Jeeremie,
Need some help with the logo, I uncommented this line:
<a href=”/”>
and still i see no logo. I have placed the logo on my theme/image folder
Jeeremie
9 Jun, 2009
The initial code should be:
<div id="logo"><!-- Your Logo image - max-width: 200px -->
<!-- USAGE:
1-create your own logo and save it as logo.jpg in the folder "images" in your theme folder.
2-uncomment code below:
<a class="logo" href="<?php bloginfo('home')?>/" title="Back Home"></a>
-->
<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
</div>
Change it for this:
<div id="logo"><!-- Your Logo image - max-width: 200px -->
<!-- USAGE:
1-create your own logo and save it as logo.jpg in the folder "images" in your theme folder.
2-uncomment code below:-->
<a class="logo" href="<?php bloginfo('home')?>/" title="Back Home"></a>
<!--<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>-->
</div>
… and it should work.
Jeeremie
6 Apr, 2009
@Phebo, you can’t easily change background color unless you know how to use Photoshop or another image editor. m.o.m obviously changed brightness or saturation for each images to get a lighter background color.
You could open the images one by one and apply the same effect to each.
For example, open content_top-jpg in Photoshop and in the layers panel right-click on the image, select “Layer Properties” > “Blending Options” > “Color Overlay” and set blend mode to Overlay. Change the red color to a blue one. When you are statisfied with the colors, apply same filter to other images in your folder and you will be done. This is just one way to do it. If you already know photoshop just paly with the effects until you get something you like. I recommend you backup the images folder before you start messing up with the images.
For the extra icon in the left sidebar, m.o.m created a new class and modified index.php, single.php… If you are comfortable editing HTML and CSS, you can edit these pages and create a new class in style.css based on the classes “meta-author”, “meta-categories”… The HTML code for these classes is:
<p class="meta-author">by <?php the_author() ?></p><?php edit_post_link('<p class="meta-edit">Edit</p>', '', ''); ?>
<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »', 'meta-comments', 'Comments off'); ?>
<p class="meta-categories"><?php the_category(', ') ?></p>
<?php the_tags('<p class="meta-tags">',', ','</p>'); ?>
… and the CSS is:
.meta-author,.meta-edit,.meta-comments,.meta-categories,.meta-tags{clear:both;display:block;margin-left:10px;padding:2px 0 2px 20px;width:120px}.meta-author{background:url(images/icon-author.jpg) no-repeat 0 0}
.meta-edit{background:url(images/icon-edit.jpg) no-repeat 0 0}
.meta-comments{background:url(images/icon-comment.jpg) no-repeat 0 0}
.meta-categories{background:url(images/icon-category.jpg) no-repeat 0 0}
.meta-tags{background:url(images/icon-tag.jpg) no-repeat 0 0}

You are over the top. Fantastic Jeeremie! I use and i know quite well photoshop so the modifications you explain me could be done quite simply. But the real question was a suggestion, an advice from you. Looking at the perfect balance of youe themes, i would like to change it without mangle it. So any advice from you about a set of colors to replace yours?
Thank you very much.
Jeeremie
6 Apr, 2009
Okay, I see. You know, there’s always a lot of trials and errors in my designs before I reach a good equilibrium. If you are going for the blue tabs for the date, I would recommend you to try a light orange/yellow background color for the sidebars instead of blue. Orange and blue are complementary colors.
However, for this design, I would recommend you to keep grey as the background color because it is a neutral color and as such it helps your visitors to focus on the content. If sidebars have a blue or light yellow/orange background color, it will distract the attention of your readers and they might get annoyed by this.
But you are free to try new colors and ask a few people what they think about it.
Does it help?

First..: Great theme – the bst I’v jused so far. I just have one question. The logo.jpg is not looking right, and I cant’t find the reason why – the file itself looks fine?.. see it at http://www.sommersblog.dk.. Can someone help ?
Jeeremie
19 Apr, 2009
Hi Sommer,
Try this (in style.css):
/* logo option */
.logo{background:url(images/logo.jpg) no-repeat center bottom;display:block;height:54px;margin:0 auto;padding-top:12px;width:240px}
I only tested in Firefox. Tell me if it works in IE too. Good luck.

20 Apr, 2009
Thank you Jeeremie for your explanation.I’m just trying few modifications at the color balance of the bg.
When i will decide the right color, i obviously link it here.
Phebo
20 Apr, 2009
I would like to move down of 20px more or less the page to give more space to logo and rss link. But the div containing the content_top.jpg image belong to the div header whereas the the content to the pagewrapper div. How can i move the div from the header to the pagewrapper div? I tried to insert in page.php file the code: and explaining it as the css #header (obviously changing it in #content_top from #header )just after but without success.
Any suggestion?
Jeeremie
20 Apr, 2009
I don’t understand. If you just want to add spacing between content and header, change the height value in the code below from 106px to something higher (for example height: 136px; to add 20px as you want), like this:
#header{background:url(images/content_top.jpg) no-repeat 0 bottom;font-size:0.9em;/*height:106px;*/ height:136px;position:relative}Is that what you want? If not, I don’t understand your question.
Phebo

Great theme, sir. I’m currently modifying it for use on my own site. You truly did a skilled job in making this layout!
For some reason, though, no matter what I do, I can’t change the default Gravatar using the WP Admin dashboard or get my personal Gravatar to appear. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you, sir!
Jeeremie
11 May, 2009
To have a Gravatar, you need to create an account at gravatar.com/. This has nothing to do with the theme.
Nick
11 May, 2009
Ah, my personal Gravatar is working, but I’d rather it display the “Identicon” generated icon for anonymous users’ avatars than the Gravatar icon. When I change this in Dashboard|Settings|Discussion (bottom of that page), nothing happens and it keeps the same default blue Gravatar icon. Any idea why? Thanks so much.

Is there some simple way of making the content area 500+ pixels wide (so that a 500 pixel image is displayed as is)? I played around a bit but didn’t manage to find a way to do it.
Jeeremie
19 May, 2009
There’s no simple way to do it. You will have to edit images if you want to do so.
kevin
20 May, 2009
Nice theme.
Jeeremie
19 May, 2009
On the other hand, it might be easier to just resize all the images included in a post to 500px maximum:
.entry img {max-width: 470px;}
This will make sure images doesn’t exceed 470px.

I just DL’d this theme and it’s very nice for this project – very easy to customize, except for my small problems as you’ll see.
Jeeremie
9 Jun, 2009
@JuedM You can’t change sidebars colors without an image editor (e.g. Photoshop). To remove the placeholder for Title and description open index.php and remove this line:
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/intro.php'); ?>Do the same for single.php, archive.php and so on.

You can edit the CSS to reduce font size:
#logo h1, #logo h1 a {background: transparent;
border: none;
clear: both;
color :white!important;
font: normal 1.6em Georgia,"Times New Roman",Times,serif;
line-height: 34px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 12px 0 0;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
width: 210px
}
Change “font: normal 1.6em Georgia…” to “font: normal 1.3em Georgia…”

hello sir,
very nice theme ,:)
can u tell me how can i increase the width of central part i mean where topics posted…
and in place of tag line i want to set image
i.e. site header …
help appreciated..
Jeeremie
16 Jun, 2009
Manan, you cannot change width without editing images. Then, you will have to edit width of sidebars, main content and other elements. So if you were looking for an easy way to increase the width, I am afraid it won’t be possible.
And yes, you can remove the tag line. Go to your OneRoom folder and open intro.php. The code looks like this:
<div id="intro"%gt;<p%gt;<a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?%gt;/"%gt;<b%gt;<?php bloginfo('name'); ?%gt;</b%gt;</a%gt;: <?php bloginfo('description'); ?%gt;</p%gt;
</div%gt;
Just delete everything inside the DIV and replace it by your image or whatever you want. Maybe you will have to edit #intro in your style.css a little bit.
Hallie
16 Jun, 2009
Love the theme. My questions: 1. Any chance I can change the background color from the dark green? My site is for kids and I need something lighter colored.
2. The oval around OneRoom: is this entire element your logo? Can I elongate the oval to add my Title without shrinking the font size? As you can see, I’m new at this but ready to go with you theme. Many thanks.
Jeeremie
16 Jun, 2009
Hallie, 1) Background color is an image. Create your own image in photoshop and save it as bg.jpeg in images/ folder. It will overwrite the default image. 2) Read the usage page again. I talk about it. The source image is provided with oneroom.

16 Jun, 2009
nice it works Jeeremie editing tag line ..
Some more queries:
1. what if i m also wanna replace blog title above the tag line …. so that in all post it appears a image that i wanna show…
2. can u tell me about links.php file in this archive ,links page etc .. whats the use of this file..
3. I want to show at the bottom 1,2,3.. like page number i tried page WP-PageNavi plugin what not working..
and i think most plugin not working on your theme why ?:(
4. can u please launch one another different version which is having some more width of the content part or make it flexible…
if the above not possible then plz tell me the eaxct path to edit all settings… i can edit images and edit coding well too:)
thanks for answering!
Manan Saini
Manan
16 Jun, 2009
continue with last comment , Jeeremie kindly merge it with last one…
I m asking you to launch different width or flexible width because so many users also want , some users change theme only because of width:( is not proper as their requirement…
or you can just put the full method on the above page where you already give some tips like editing logo… really very helpful…
and also its very nice if you add some side bar at the bottom also in the footer section… like tags,calender,max contributor or max commentor like that …
one more ques can we edit this template according to our requirement..:)
thanks,
Jeeremie
17 Jun, 2009
Manan, yes I know width is a problem for many people. However, you must understand I do this during my spare time. To create a theme, maintain it, give support and upgrade it to the latest WordPress release (which come every 6 months) is time consuming. I simply cannot satisfy and assist everyone. That’s just impossible for me… unless I get paid for it. You understand?
I will try to check why those plugins are not working when I get 5 minutes.

Hello
The theme is perfect. I just want to know how can I put summary of posts on index page so that “more” button appears just like you have on http://web-kreation.com/demos/oneroom/ ? I’ve tried in my WM Dashboard, Settings – Reading – Summary but it ain’t working. Also, is it possible for this theme to work with Page Navigation plugin?
Thank you very much…
Jeeremie

@Drazen, Normally, Page Navigation Plugin should work with this theme. I didn’t try though.
On the demo, I insert the <!–more–> tag in my posts.

Hi Jeeremie,
Great theme! Cool and yet not dark or plain like many others. Love the use of the left column. Just a question. I have several pages and sub-pages in my site and your theme tries to list them all at the top, creating a cacophony of words over the tagline and RSS feed. Many themes just list the main pages in the header. How can I do that with your theme? Thanks,
Michel

Have to echo Michel’s question. This theme is absolutely perfect for what I want, but nesting pages produces an unholy mess at the top of the pages. Can the theme be made to produce a drop down for nested pages (or just ignore them completely) as many other themes do?
Thanks,
David

Incidentally, you can ignore my question regarding the border and caption as I have now worked out how to do that. Memo to self … check the CSS file!

Hi, very very nice theme. But just one single question: is there any possibility that it shows some preview pictures when the visitor clicks in a archive page ? It’s just the text that is previewed – in my case I have a cooking page and it would be very inspiring to see some food.
Thanks, Alex

Great theme!!
A quick question, I am trying to add borders to my images like the one you have in the example (with the lorem text under it). I checked my css, and it looks exactly like the one you are using. Am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks!

There is a problem with the searching function.
If you input something and then click submit button, you will actually get the result of “searching”,insted of what you really input. But, if you use Enter button, you will get the correct result. Could you please solve it. Thank you.

How Would i change the “home button” at the top to goto another site rather then the homepage of the wordpress blog?

I’d like to modify the background colour and menu highlight green colours. What file shoudl I go into to do this?
Also, which file do I open to
make the central column wider?
Jeeremie

You must modify images first in Photoshop for example.

I agree with Gerkyle, if you push “enter” the result of the search is ok, but if you click submit, it looks for defect the text of “searching” . Any solution for that please?

I want to replace my blog name/tagline (from intro.php) with a banner. How can I do this? I tried simply replacing it with a code but when I do that nothing shows up. Thanks for the feedback, this is an awesome theme!

Thank you, love the theme. Is it possible to make the rectangular title box at the left longer to fit my blog name? Also, is it possible to not have it repeat at the top of the screen. As you can see, I have a long title at http://www.oldpathsbaptistchurch.org. Hope it’s possible or any suggestions. Thanks

Hi Charlie,
Did you read this page? YI think you should read it again: “How to edit the Logo? Do you have the original PSD file?” OneRoom theme folder comes with the original PNG file. Open it in Fireworks and you will be able to modify the size of it and even add your own logo if you want.
If you don’t want to modify the image, change logo font size in style.css:
/***** LOGO *****//* Text option */
#logo h1,#logo h1 a{background:transparent;border:none;clear:both;color:white!important;font:normal 1.6em Georgia,"Times New Roman",Times,serif;line-height:34px;margin:0 auto;padding:12px 0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:210px}
See 1.6em? Try 1.4em or less to make it fit in the box.
Both ways are probably not the best solution ever. OneRoom is now part of WPSynergy.org and we plan to improve a couple of things. Logo is on our TODO list.

Hi Jeremie, I seem to have buggered up the nav – I’m new at this and attempting to add 5 distinct galleries under a general gallery tab. I’ve done so by creating sub-pages but they seem to display overlapped (weird thing is they work sometimes…and sometimes not). All I need is more header space (I think). f I can bump the post area down and move the RSS feed down then I should have enough display room. If you can point me to the idiot guide in the Codex I will figure it out myself (or die trying ha, ha). Oh…one more thing…any ideas for a photogallery plug in that is compatible with the theme you’ve designed? Thank you so much for your generosity…if I get rich and famous you will be well rewarded
.
jeeremie

Codex will not tell you how to do so. Just open header.php and move the RSS button to index.php, single.php… or even to sidebar.php so it repeats on every page. Then, update the css class in style.css.
Any image gallery plugin will work with this theme. After it is just a matter of styling it.

Hi! Thanks for a wonderful theme! I’m a bit of a noob with this stuff (okay, I’m *totally* a noob, but please don’t hold that against me!), but I’ve run up against a challenge adapting the layout to my needs. In the “official preview” of the layout, it has “OneRoom” in a box. The “One” is a little green, and the “Room” is in white. My blog’s title won’t fit inside the box that frames “OneRoom”, so I’d like to expand the box by just a wee bit. Also, my blog’s title has two words, and I’d like to use two different colours too. Can you offer any guidance here? I’ve tried editing the stylesheet in the logo section… mainly I tried adding 200 pixels width and then taking some away, etc. Through trial and error I figured out all sorts of different ways to *not* do what I wanted, but was totally unsuccessful in getting it to do what I wanted. That brings me here.

Hrm… Well, Fireworks isn’t exactly very accessible for someone who has never worked with it. I’ve done nothing but frustrate myself for 3 hours trying to get this logo edited in a very minor way.
I’ve also had trouble switching the icon (from the raging ape), but tech support doesn’t seem to be your strong point, so I might do just as well asking my printer for help.
Nonetheless, thank you for your diligent work on this theme!
jeeremie
24 Sep, 2009
You know, I work almost 11 hours every day trying to make a living so you can understand giving free tech support is not one of my top priority.
If you don’t feel comfortable with Fireworks, you can open the image below in Photoshop and add your own text:
(in wp-content/themes/OneRoom/images/logo_bg.jpg)
When you are done, rename it as logo.jpg and save it in wp-content/themes/OneRoom/images/. It will overwrite the default logo image.
To change image (the raging ape as you say) in sidebar, log in to your dashboard, go to Appearance -> Editor and edit sidebar.php. Again, this was explained on this page.

Hello Jeeremie,
At first: your design is excellent.
Only one little minus
: the search button does not work correct. Push the cursor on the icon, and the search result is bad. Press Enter on your keyboard and the search result is correct.
Are you able to give me the right code for the search form?
Here is the original code in OneRoom:
<form method="get" id="searchform" action="/”>
Thanks in advance. Sorry for my bad English, it is not my native language.
Hans
25 Sep, 2009
Sorry, the full code above is messed up.
Khephra
26 Sep, 2009
No doubt, and you’re not alone.
I eventually figured out that logo_bg.jpg was the file to modify, not “LOGO – Original PNG File”, and hope to have crossed that bridge soon.
I had been trying to edit the sidebar’s code to point to an image hosted elsewhere, but now I see that it needs to be put inside the images folder… hopefully that’ll work out better.
For a third time, thanks for your theme and assistance.
jeeremie
26 Sep, 2009
No, you can point to any image you want. So far the code in sidebar.php is (line 9):
<img class="alignleft" src="< ?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/about.jpg" alt="About Me" />If your image is hosted, let’s say, on flickr, your code would be:
<img class="alignleft" src="http://flickr.com/s785sa3d5479fs5785sad.jpg" alt="About Me" />Divyun Raje Vaid

Hi Jeeremie! Wonderful work. This theme goes along good with almost all the plugins I use. But Discus comment system simply messes up everything!
Well, I’ll try to create similar logo using photoshop. I’ll post the link to psd when/if I’m done.

Hey, I am through with the psd and imo, looks good. Well, I wasn’t able to find the font you have used in the original so I have used Trebuchet MS.
This is how it looks: http://divyun.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/logo.png
Here’s the psd: http://divyun.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/logo.psd
P.S. If you’ll tell me the font name you used, I’ll update the psd file and upload it again.

Not sure if it is a theme issue or something with one of my plug-ins but when I try to edit a post all the text is white and so is the background. The only way I can see the text (in the edit screen) is to highlight it. Is there a setting somewhere to fix this?

I have one question: Is it possible to hide “child-site”-Links in the header navigation, if the parentSite is not active?

I was going to ask a question about the theme, but actually reading the comments pays off, saves you time from answering questions you already answered. So, with all that said… Thank you much for designing a superior theme. This is now my finalized theme – no more searching. I’m now personalizing the theme to meet my needs. You can see what I’ve done http://blog.gibbydevelopments.com
Once again, Thanks
