Erika, if you have Dreamweaver, then follow AlexWilson's advice above. It has helped me understand how the css interacts alot. Make sure you also look at the site that acrylian mentioned. It is very straight forward tutorials and easy to follow.

I will be making some small changes here and there over the next week or two so feel free to take a look at mine http://pics.soupene.net and if you see anything you like then feel free to ask me how I did it. It can be frustrated sometimes, but with the help of these great people at zenphoto and some time you will get it just the way you like it.

jsoupene, no, I don't have Dreamweaver but I know I will have to study php and css and all that stuff. I have so little time for this but I do have to get this page up and running.

You're right - the folks here are great. They respond so quickly and actually put up with airheads like myself.

Thank you all for your patience and thanks jsoupene for your offer. I'll take you up on that.

Hey erika and whoever else is looking for a wysiwyg css editor, I have found one called Stylizer and it has really helped me to understand how the php is layed out on the page via the .css file. Make sure you go thru the tutorial, it will only take 15-20 minutes. This was what made the light bulb finally go on for me. They do have a 15 day trial and it is fully functional and just might be long enough for me to figure out the basics of the code.

Hi jsoupene,

I don't know if 15 days is long enough for me :) Anyway, I'll give it a whirl.

Hello Erika, just it for the 15 days and go thru the tutorial. The reason I say you probably won't need it any longer is the program will help you understand how the css interacts w/ the php. Once you learn that you won't need the program anymore because you will understand how the code works. It made all the difference in the world for me. Good blessings!

Erika... I'm using same theme but I like the orange. It matches the heavily-used cadmium red (which is orangey) of my artwork. http://snarko.com. I'm switching to logo at the top in a few, once I get it to a good size.

I found the custom.css not to work well. I edited the screen.css instead (back it up first). No hitch, except apparently the size of the body text affects the size of everything (including links at top) and I didn't want to dig that deep; thus I had to balance that size out.

I wanted a serif font, since I use italics when I write and I HATE how non-serif fonts look this way.

I can't get this to work with Dreamweaver, either. I gave up. I need to spend time on content, not learning PHP (though I use HTML/CSS heavily). Sorry. But I LOVE YOU GUYS FOR THIS!!! I only learned to install and edit scripts.

Anyway, since this thread seems heavily zpGallerific, I swear I used to have a bar of random pics on the bottom of the homepage? Maybe I was smoking crack, and I didn't? Maybe it was ZenPage and not this theme?

If I wasn't smoking crack, I swear it went away with my first news post. I want it back; it worked for my overall layout.

ALSO: Is there as easy way to get drop-down menus from the top navigation? Like, I just don't feel the sub-navs per page are obvious enough?

If you check my site (link above) you'll see what I mean. Try and find my resume (under about). That's important to what I do.
