  1. Very nice theme, though I’m having problems with it in certain resolutions in browsers other than Internet Explorer. In Firefox/Flock, the words run off the right side of the page. Something I can do to fix this?

    Comment by Kristyn — December 31, 5:07

  2. Hi Kristyn - What resolution and what browsers? At an 800 resolution, it may cause a bit of a scroll to the right (the content is wider than 800 at a fixed width.) I’ve checked in IE6, IE7, FIrefox, Opera, Netscape and Safari and an unable to duplicate what you’ve mentioned here.

    Thanks :)

  3. I’m running into the margins issue using firefox 2 on Windows XP and on Firefox 1.5 on Solaris 10. I just changed the resolution to 1024×768 and IE 6 looks ok. Firefox is still a little off. Is there a way to set the fixed width a little less?

  4. Really like this theme and have been running it for about a month now. Have discovered that while single post pages render correctly, pages using the pagetemplate have margin issues which I’m not sure how to fix. It’s not a scrolling issue (as in I’m not presented with a horizontal scroll bar). Running Firefox 2 on XP - see http://www.librarygirl.co.uk/knits/?page_id=40. It’s a very brief page with minimal text, yet not displaying correctly. Get slightly more text displayed on IE7 (which I don’t normally use), but it’s still truncated. Anyone else have this problem with pages? How to fix?
    (Resolution is 1400 x 1050)

  6. Thanks to everyone for your comments and feedback :) I am pressed up against a pretty hard deadline at the moment, but I do have plans to update my themes over the next 2 weeks, or so. I will leave a note here when I have that accomplished - in the meantime, I do appreciate your patience!

  3. Regarding the margins issue…

    I’ve been able to reduce the margins by increasing the width parameter in the Style.css file under /*STRUCTURE*/ like this:

    #page { width: 1000px; margin:auto;}

    My problem right now (which I may fix soon) is that I want to use a Flash file for my navigation header, but it’s not showing on this template, even though it works in other templates.

  4. Nevermind. I got the Flash to work. Forgot to upload one of the javascript files.

  5. Hi Lisa,

    I’ve been using this theme for a little over a month now and I really like it. I am trying to modify the CSS file to include settings for “blockquote”, and although the code is in there I cannot get it to display my blockquotes as defined. I’m obviously missing a piece. Any advice?

    Comment by Lynne — March 7, 3:26

  6. Hi Lynne - it would be helpful to have your url.

    Without seeing it - my guess is that the blockquote style is defined twice in the stylesheet, and your site is picking up the last one listed. Check the stylesheet to see if you have: blockquote in there twice. :)

  7. I am setting up a site using this theme, and find I have the same problem as no. 10: posts show up fine and pages are truncated to the right. Any suggestions for how to change this?
