I had tried visiting your "how to protect your wordpress theme" page a couple times, but my browser scrambles it. I realized that I should let you know about that problem, in case you were unaware of it. </p> <p>I'm running IE7, and Windows Vista. I know those are clunky choices, but digital sophistication comes slowly when you live in the woods.</p> <p>Several of the paragraphs on that webpage (including the one where you write about changing the color of the links) are superimposed, one on top of the other. So, they are pretty much unreadable.</p> <p>I don't know how to send you a picture of my screen, so that you can see what I see, because the "print screen" command doesn't copy the superimposed hash into these email forms. I have a Word document with the screen print, but don't know how to attach it here. </p> <p>However, my efforts to send you that screenprint have made me realize that I can do a copy and paste of that webpage text into one of these form fields (where it gets magically straightened out) and then copy it into notepad so I can actually read what you wrote. And maybe deal with my links.</p> <p>Also, about the blog title linking to home... Yes, but I substituted an image for the entire header, and then located the blog title 9000 pixels off-screen. So now that default title link is gone. But I'll keep working on it.</p> <p>Thanks again...</p> <p>Betsy </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-do-i-add-a-link-to-the-horizontal-list-under-header#post-668 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 18:21:39 +0000 Ian Stewart 668@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>The blog title always links to the home page but if you want to add an explicit link …</p> <p><a href="http://themeshaper.com/how-to-protect-your-wordpress-theme-against-upgrades/" rel="nofollow">http://themeshaper.com/how-to-protect-your-wordpress-theme-against-upgrades/</a></p> <p>The color is set in style.css in 0.6 (default.css in 0.7+) in the section marked Menu. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-do-i-add-a-link-to-the-horizontal-list-under-header#post-656 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 00:17:53 +0000 quercus 656@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Incidentally, I did install the NAVT plug-in, but I'm not really getting any results from it yet. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-do-i-add-a-link-to-the-horizontal-list-under-header#post-655 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 23:58:59 +0000 quercus 655@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I forgot my page link; it's bendingtreearts(dot)com(slash)blog. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-do-i-add-a-link-to-the-horizontal-list-under-header#post-654 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 23:58:00 +0000 quercus 654@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Under the header, Thematic very nicely puts a link to each new page I create.</p> <p>Once a reader goes to one of those pages, however, there's no way for them to get back to the blog front page except to hit the "back" arrow.</p> <p>How can I add a new link which says "Blog Front Page"?</p> <p>Also, where do I find the code that will allow me to change the color of those link buttons?</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
