  1. Hi - I'm sure this is a very simple fix. I am new to much of this code and feeling overwhelmed.

    My only problem (well, the primary one, right now) is that my blog roll won't take on the same format as the rest of the blog or link lists. (www.whynotlime.com)

    I'm also trying to make some headway with the additional pages, ie Archives and About.

    Any help? Helpful links? Thanks.

  2. I don't see a blogroll on your site.
    "Local recommendations" is way out on the far right. How did you manage that?
    As far as the archives and about problem, there is a good tutorial at

    Good Luck

  3. Goffin -

    Thanks for the reply.

    Local Recommendations is another blog roll... I can add another link to the specific header of "Blog Roll"... but when I add links through WordPress, that's how they show up. I'm not sure what happened to my formatting, since I didn't edit it at all, but my blog rolls aren't being picked up by the theme code. Am I entering them wrong somehow? Maybe it's because I deleted all the supplied blog links instead of just editing some to my own? Hmm.

    I'm going to check out the tutorial that you linked for me also. Thanks!

  4. I'm beginning to wonder if my files are all stored in the right place. I had someone else move them, so maybe are in the right place, but just to get the main page to work? When I tried to create the sitemap and archives pages, it wouldn't work. Any helpful links here? I know this isn't cutline-related, probably. but thanks for reading and possibly helping.

  5. Okay, I tried changing my permalink structure, but that didn't work (not sure where to upload the .htaccess file). So, I tried going the other route, but the code in the header.php is different than what Chris details in the instructions.

    Here is the code that I have:

    <li><a>href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/archives/">archives</a></li>
    <li><a>href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/about/">about</a></li>
    How would I change this header and archives code?

    At least I feel like I'm starting to understand something. :)

    Thanks -

  6. And I don't have any idea how to approach the blogroll... it posts fine when I switch it to a "classic" wp theme. Hm.

  7. OK, you say everything works fine with the classic theme. What I would do is delete the theme giving you problems, download a fresh copy from wherever you got it from before, and then unzip (if needed) and ftp the contents to your wp-content/themes folder. Activate the theme, deactivate all plugins, and let's see what it looks like.

  8. Okay, I tried it, but it didn't work. I deleted all the files. Every other theme that I try works. Why won't this one? Frustrating. Here is my code for my right sidebar - if you note anything wrong with it, please let me know. Thanks.

    <div id="sidebar">
    	<ul class="sidebar_list">
    		<?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar(2)) : ?>
    		<li class="widget">
    			<h2>Search It!</h2>
    			<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
    		</li>
    		<li class="widget">
    			<h2>Recent Entries</h2>
    			<ul>
    				<?php query_posts('showposts=10'); ?>
    				<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    				<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a><span class="recent_date"><?php the_time('n.j') ?></span></li>
    				<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
    				<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/archives" title="Visit the archives!">Visit the archives for more!</a></li>
    			</ul>
    		</li>
    		<?php if (function_exists('get_flickrrss')) { ?>
    		<li class="widget">
    			<h2><span class="flickr_blue">Flick</span><span class="flickr_pink">r</span></h2>
    			<ul class="flickr_stream">
    				<?php get_flickrrss(); ?>
    			</ul>
    		</li>
    		<?php } ?>
    		<?php get_links_list('id'); ?>
    		<?php endif; ?>
    	</ul>
    </div>
