Hi there,
well, to say the least, your theme is still appreciated after all this time :)
I have the same problem as an early commenter, in that the columns of the 2-column theme all stack on the left side. I really adore the design and would hate to not be able to use it. Could you please tell me what to do?
Thanks!

Not sure if you are aware of this but thought you should know. I came across a really nice blog site illustrated in Thames and Hudsons ‘The Complete Typographer’ – it was attributed to a design student called Carly Smith. I went to the site to have a look and examined the source to see what fonts etc was used. To my surprise the WordPress theme was listed in the code and it range a bell. I looked it up on google and here I am – it was upstart blogger modicus. This maybe your alter ego but I doubt it. You may wish to persue this a sit seems a little unfair someone else gets credit for I quote used a discipline variation of weight and colour to produce a functional and structred site’.

Hey there,

I just thought I’d drop you a note. I’ve modified your theme in order to integrate it with my Bandcamp page. I plan to give away my version on my site because I think other musicians will find it really helpful. Naturally I’ll follow the terms of the Creative Commons license. I just thought you’d be interested to hear.

Thanks for the wicked theme dude,
Jake.

a simple but nice theme, i like it.

i change its width a little bit, from 916px to 960px, so as to be fit for the wide computer screen.

just take a look.

Love this theme! I was wondering how I can make a reply to comments. I don’t see a reply link under people’s comments. Thanks for your help!

I just wanted to say thanks! This has been the easiest theme for me to edit and I really appreciate it. All the others I have come across have given me headaches, especially since I barely know what i’m doing.

Hi
I love this theme – but im having a bit of trouble getting it going on my site.
All the columns are stacking ontop of eachother. I’m somewhat familiar with wordpress anatomy but I cant figure out where to start puzzling this out?

thanx

theSupermarket, the pink text is in the .entry p:first-child selector. Just open up style.css and change it to whatever you want, or delete that selector and the first paragraph will match the rest of the post.

Really like the theme, thanks! Having problems though. For some reason the comment box is not showing up under the posts? Am I doing something wrong or have I forgotten something…?

Hi there – you’ve made a really wonderful template. I’m trying to use it on my site! I was trying to make the post title size larger, but now the spacing is all a little off, and the post info is posting without a line break after the text and I’m not sure why..

Thank you!

Sorry not sure I was clear in the above post. On my home page I want a link that takes you to into the blog. (I’m not showing any posts on the home page)

Right now I can only see the posts when I look at one of my PAGES – my posts show up on the sidebar under the widget “Recent Posts” but you have to click on them individually.

HOpe that makes sense , and that you know how to fix this!

Hi there, I’ve tweaked your theme to a point where I’m really happy with it! LOVE the theme and all the white space. I am using the static home page option, looks great!

HOWEVER: I cannot figure out how to put a link into the actual blog when using your home page option. I’ve got links to my individual PAGES (eg About page) but what do I need to do to set it up so they can see my daily POSTS?

If you can let me know that would be wonderful. Thanks a million!!!

Hi, I love this theme but having trouble with it. Maybe because I am using WP version 2.7?

I want a 2 column version that looks somewhat like this: http://www.houseandfig.com

(I want my sidebar on the left, posts on the right.)

PROBLEM: my posts are showing up on top of my sidebar.

Can anyone suggest how I can fix this?

Thanks!

Just a quick come back to say a few good news
I succeeded to
* fix the sidebar template, if any change just take your time and make it step-by-step
* use the excerpt loaded
* plugins : to avoid competition desactivate some in your dashborad WP or erase some lines in the sidebar

Now, i feel good to personalize more the css style sheet.

Again, thanks to you for this support which give the force to dive inside the code ;)
ps : comments are very useful for newbies

hello
I try to use this smart design theme. A few pb :
(WP 2.3)
Double widgets : widgets turn on and the embeded code in the sidebar.php
tag cloud and configurable tag cloud compete !
double comments
doubles latest posts.
I can of course, desactivate the widget (comment, post and CTc) but I find it better to use widget because of the personnalisation. Editing the sidebar and delete just zabout coment, tag cloud and latest post” and the sidebar.php went wrong after savint and upload….shame on me , I guess ?

In the post :
the previous posts have lost their links, the bold and specified colours…..
the form is not respected (§ or “puces”") not working. That really a pity :((

Editing the style : i have changed the colour of the font, saved, upload the php and nothing happened, still black. :(((

Any idea about the widgets ?

Merry christmas and happy new year :*

ello! I’m using this theme’s 2-column version, and I’m loving it by the minute! I’m using the Category widget, but I don’t want to display the Uncategorized category on the list. I tried using the fix on the WordPress Codex site without luck. Is there anything I can do? I would really appreciate it!

Thank you for this gorgeous piece of design work! I’ve searched high and low for interesting WP skins, and I must have browsed hundreds. Yours is the first, where I think “hey this is really special” – it took me in, right from the start. It’s awesome.
