Yay! Flowers returned! Now, I may get lucky as I try to put that header back in (hah). You’re both the best!
-
HOORAY!!!! Header in! How can I thank you two? I think I’m going to get brave now and try a patterned background since I think I’m beginning to get the principles (or not!?)……and I should put a photo where they’ve made that quilt pattern by my forum entries! I thought I’d done it, but I guess the photo I put in was in the wrong place!
-
In case either of you are still around, how can I put back int he line between the post and sidebar? (I know, it’s way past bedtime…)

Looks great, belleweather. The quilt thing, I assume, is your avatar/gravatar — or lack of? Here’s the information:
It takes several hours for it to work its way through the system and some have had trouble changing theirs. If yours is tardy, just go straight to http://en.gravatar.com/ and take care of it there. It’s part of wordpress.

Sidebar border in place! How DO you know all this stuff? My avatar should show soon, but I think already that I’ll change it to something that’ll be legible in such a tiny space, like a real sheep. Thanks for your admirings….
Alright, so I get it….bloggers stay up all night because they are so excited about their pages, and you folk that help others in the forum pull all nighters just to be sure that we have personal servants 24/7. You’ve BOTH been awake all night! If you two want to send a mailing address to me in my spiffy new contact form, I’ll send you some of our organic homemade maple syrup you’ve been reading about…..not kidding! It was a short season so there’s not a ton, but there’s enough to share. It’d be my pleasure!
Is there a simple stylesheet dictionary anywhere, everything I’ve found is way over my head. I’d love to just know what each little paragraph on my stylesheep (oops!too used to typing that word!) means.
Okay, I’m going to try to catch 1/2 hour of nap before kids and animals start howling! Right.
Thanks for all your help, and send mapling addresses if you’d like! -
hmmmmm, something must be off in the times that are posting on the left……it’s not 10:30 am. my voice mail on the phone is doing the same thing….odd. maybe in my phone service? just pondering….

More questions, hopefully, you’re asleep!
1) Etiquette question, should I start a new page for different questions as they come?
2) Is there a way to move my Shepherd’s Child logo to middle of sidebar instead of right edge? It’s stuck in a textbox….
3} Do people have one username for all their blogs, or do they have a different username for each blog? When you click on my avatar (gravatar?), it link my farm blog, not my studio blog, but it’s the studio blog avatar. -
The time thing is because wordpress itself runs on GMT/UTC time since people all over the world use it. Your blog will run on (display) whatever time you wish, such as your local time zone, if you have the GMT/UTC time offset set. Go to settings > general and you can set your time offset there.
To have two different avatars and names appear when you comment, and on the blog itself, you would have to have the blogs setup on two different accounts. The avatar and username/nick name is per account rather than per blog.
And thanks for the offer on the maple syrup.

This may not be what you have in mind, and it may not work in all themes, but it’s easy to add a border to a sidebar text widget, without changing the css code. The border’s thickness, color, and the padding can all be controlled by playing with the variables in what follows:
<div style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;"><p><p>TEXT HERE</div>Those two “p” codes seem necessary to create enough spacing after the top line of the border.
You can also fill a text widget with background color like this:
<div style="background-color:#F2F2F2;"><p><p>TEXT HERE</div>Hat tip to panaghiotisadam for the border code.
