Plain Vanilla 1.0
Hokay =), here comes the first WordPress theme for public consumption. It’s also available as a preview on Alex King’s competition site, though due to competition rules, an already submitted theme will only be updated after one week. And I fixed a couple of minor gripes just after submitting =(. So, if you’re looking for the latest Plain Vanilla, download from here:
- Download Plain Vanilla 1.1 theme for WordPress.
- Download Plain Vanilla theme Background images for WordPress.
You could hack this GPL’d template to glory if you keep the basic structure the same (page divisions and other hacks that take care of cross-browser issues). You could change the banner image on the fly, add a header image within h1 tags, say, representing your site logo (just adjust top margins in #header h1 and #nav ul to keep both the logo and the navigation bar in the same line, as you see on this site). Open nav.php and add your other site related links.
Feel like adding more pizzaz to the banner? Look-up Dan Benjamin’s wonderful article and script to roll images of your choice on your site. Still better, use a Flickr script that’s just dead easy.
Mtv, enjoy!
I love your skin i am just getting some errors.

Mar 8, 05 at 08:30Steve: Try deleting and uploading
navbar.phpagain. If it still doesn’t work, cut and paste the listing innavbar.phpintoheader.phpin place of<?php include("navbar.php"); ?>.Update: A better solution would be:
Replace the following line
<?php include("navbar.php"); ?>With this one:
Mar 8, 05 at 09:15<?php include("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/navbar.php"); ?>Replacing the stuff from the navbar.php file into the header.php worked! Thanks for the help and the great theme!
Mar 8, 05 at 10:12Very nice template. I wonder if you would mind us using it on Blogsome (http://www.blogsome.com). Can you email me to let me know what you think. Thanks.
Mar 8, 05 at 21:53Blogsome: You’re most welcome to use it.
Mar 8, 05 at 23:16That’s a really cool theme, love it. I would like to use it as a template and alter it al little myself. Trouble is that mine doesn’t come out like yours…it is missing the very top and very bottom of the green/brown box. As that intentional?
Mar 9, 05 at 04:16I have the theme all set up and customized. Thanks Chetan for the great theme!
Mar 9, 05 at 04:23Congratulations for this awesome theme!
Mar 9, 05 at 06:43Could you share the templates of the statics pages (archives, etc)?
Thanks
Great, great theme!
You know, the ONE thing that would make it the clear winner, would be the use of a footer.
What do you think?
Mar 9, 05 at 10:50Is anyone else having problems getting pages to display on the sidebar?
Also, is there something I can do to make the CSS validate?
Sorry for the trouble…just wanting to make a near perfect theme, perfect all around.
Mar 9, 05 at 11:01Actually, “Pages” can be displayed by removing the commented section in a theme file.
Second, if you point the CSS validator to the actual .css file, it DOES validate.
Third….a footer would be a great addition.
What a KICK A** theme good sir. I will definatley add this to my site.
Mar 9, 05 at 11:28Very nice theme. Replaced my old theme I had. I altered it and now it is looking very good indeed.
IMO, this is the theme that would win if the contest ended right now. Very nice work.
Mar 9, 05 at 11:45Reevo: I’m not sure you’re talking about the present theme as I’ve been on a rampant change of themes lately
Rick: Haven’t had time to add archives page (at present, I use a physical folder and narchives.php). You could do the same.
Chris: I wanted the top and bottom of the page to have a “merged” look within the window and therefore, I didn’t add a header and footer images to the layout. You could add a footer (if you like) by adding a suitable footer image background with bottom fixed.
KoDe: Thanks! Enjoy!
Ben: Nice hack. Looking good.
Mar 9, 05 at 12:52i used your theme for my niece’s website… it’s so easy to tweak
thanks a lot!
Mar 9, 05 at 18:46ana: my wife and I were so moved by Isabel’s state and her strength. We have two kids of our own and we can’t imagine such a thing. May God bless her and we wish and pray for her well-being from the bottom of our hearts.
We would like to thank you for making us part of this journey by using this theme for the site with a cause.
Mar 9, 05 at 23:40Is anyone else having an issue with validating the page in XHTML 1.1? I’ve been looking at a few of your sites (people listed in comments) and not one of the few I looked at has valid XHTML 1.1. Not sure if there is something I’m missing.
Mar 10, 05 at 00:22Yeah, I messed around with the theme and reloaded it from the link above. Now, it doesn’t validate XHTML 1.1…right out of the box.
Mar 10, 05 at 06:15we love this theme over at catoptric.com. we’re tweaking it at catoptric.com/gclark/ before we put it on the main blog.
one quick and probably incredibly easy question (we’re new at this): we want the entire banner picture to be a link to the main page. what do we need to enter–and where?
thanks a ton for letting us use it!
Mar 13, 05 at 07:24gclark: Since the banner is a background image, it is unclickable. If you want to make it clickable, call the image in bannertop div and wrap it with a link to the image in
index.php:
Mar 13, 05 at 18:47<div id="bannertop"><a href="yoursiteurl">
<img src="http://yousite/imagelocation/banner.jpg"
alt="Banner" width="480" height="270" /></a>
</div>
Hi chetan, just one little bug I found:
Mar 13, 05 at 20:59In sidebar.php, in the line 70, must be
cat_name; ?>
and NOT
Links
because in this way the name of all categories is ‘Links’, isn’t it?
Sorry if I am wrong, and for my english too
Rick: The elements within sidebar were done to my taste, some albeit manual. But you could change to suit whatever you like and put respective tags there and style them accordingly. Have fun =)
Mar 14, 05 at 09:20Awesome skin… I have also intalled it on my site!!
Mar 14, 05 at 13:16your theme is one of the best cleanest of them all.
Mar 17, 05 at 02:57Thanks, Nicholas
Mar 17, 05 at 09:09Hi, I love the template and am in the process of tweaking it for my site. Two questions I hope you can answer!
1. Does the random image thing you were talking about work for the main image?
2. I noticed that the Link Categories I set up in WordPress all get named to “Links”. I’m new to PHP so how would I fix this so the names of link categories I have show up automatically? What is Rick referring to about line 70? Could I just paste cat_name; ?> wherever I see “Links”?
Thank you and lovely design!
Mar 20, 05 at 03:19Kat: [1] Yes, it does. [2] Yes, you may. What I’ve done in my template is a quick-and-dirty escape from styling the Links manually. So instead, I used a non-heading type list (since I haven’t broken-up my links to several categories). The styling
<h3>Links</h3>in sidebar is a manual addition by me. You may delete this line and define it within WordPress Admin > Links.The best part of WordPress is that the tags to most of the work for you. Look up the Template tags in Codex and choose the one that fits you.
Your site is looking good already. Enjoy!
Mar 20, 05 at 09:38Thank you for that link to the Template tags in Codex. That really helped. If I may just ask some follow-up questions about the random image thing. Right now, the default is to have the image as a background image in the stylesheet. What do I need to change to make it work with random images? I’m not sure how to Dan Benjamin’s instructions in with the Plain Vanilla template.
Thank you for developing this template!
Mar 20, 05 at 10:13Kat: Remove the background image in CSS and add this markup in
Mar 20, 05 at 10:27index.php:<div id="bannertop">
<?php include("rotator.php"); ?>
<?php showImage(); ?>
</div>
Thank you so much Chetan! I love how Plain Vanilla looks on my site.
Mar 21, 05 at 01:21Sorry for emailing my questions earlier.
I have found most answers right here.
Regarding the double showing of the ‘Link’ categories.
I removed the line Links, which removes both ‘Link’ categories. What else would I need to change to get get the name ‘Links’ back?
Thanks and this is my favorite theme!
Here is the ‘Link’ code, as I have it now:
get_results(”SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories”);
foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) { ?>
cat_id); ?>
Mar 21, 05 at 15:45Mike: you could replace that code with any template tags > Links Manager tags that is suitable for your blog.
Mar 21, 05 at 15:50I found the problem!
Mar 21, 05 at 16:24I had renamed my ‘Default Link’ category in wp-admin and created a second one with the name ‘Links’. There were no links yet under the first category.
Cofused me a whole day!
Thanks Chetan!
Re: post 39/40.
Mar 24, 05 at 11:17I followed these instruction and the ones for the rotator script, but do get a: Unable to read ini file.
I have the rotator.php, images.ini in the Plain-Vanilla Theme folder. The photos are in another directory.
The suggested markup in post 40 I did add to the top of the P-V/index.php. In the style.css I deleted the banner.jpg between the () and I removed the banner.jpg from the P-V directory. Is this right so far?
Mike:
rotator.phplooks forimages.ini. Either you copy both files to the root of your blog as well or define absolute path ofimages.iniin therotator.phplike:/home/yoursite/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes
/plain-vanilla/images.ini
Hope one of them works for you.
Mar 24, 05 at 11:31everything was fine and dandy till i tried to mess around with the index.php. i keep getting this error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_header() in /home/nmwando/public_html/index.php on line 1 what is the problem and how do i fix it. Thanks.
Mar 27, 05 at 14:35Make sure you do not have any extra spaces after the last ?> in your copy of the file. Extra spaces will give you various “header already sent” type errors.
Mar 27, 05 at 19:08i have the index file reporting to be on /public_html/index.php instead of /wpcontent/plainvanilla/index.php. where do you think i would go from there.
Mar 27, 05 at 22:39had to reinstall . Thanks.
Mar 28, 05 at 00:34I’m new to WordPress and would like to have the date shown on every post, not just the first one for each day. Would you please tell me how to do that? Thanks in advance for your time.
Apr 28, 05 at 11:27swellest: Instead of the_date() function in your templates, use the_time() function. the_time() function will repeat for every post.
Apr 28, 05 at 13:34For better image rotator users, if you happen to encounter an error like
unable to read ini fileand you use an ini file calledimages.ini, modify the following line in your template from:<?php showImage(); ?>to
Apr 28, 05 at 13:46<?php showImage('images.ini'); ?>Thanks Chetan
Apr 29, 05 at 00:58the_time()worked perfectly. Another question for you. When I create a static page in WordPress it’s showing my default post category at the end of the page. But it’s not a post, and there are no categories. How do I make that go away?I’m using -and spoiling :p- it on my site. Love it. Thanks…
Apr 30, 05 at 11:44Lovely theme. I’ve been waiting for the right moment to use it, and that moment was an hour ago. Thanks so much.
May 27, 05 at 16:31Hi,
I’m trying to use this theme for my soon-to-be blog. While playing around, I seem to have found a glitch.
I was testing this out in IE and I see that if you scroll up and down a few times (just once will do typically), some part of the very first comment, which is colored gray will lose its background color. This part will show up with a white bg. If you scroll once again and go back, the glitch disappears. But can be reproduced on subsequent scrolls.
Any idea why this happens? I’m trying this on IE 6.0
/vinod
Jun 9, 05 at 15:01Vinod: That’s an IE rendering bug. It happens to dotted lines as well. Scroll once and you’ll see it solid =). Get Firefox.
Jun 9, 05 at 15:18Hi Chetan,
I use Firefox. I was just trying to ensure that the blog renders plenty much the same on IE as well.
Ah well, if it cannot be fixed, then broken it stays
Jun 9, 05 at 19:16Hi Chetan,
Sorry if this question is asked before, but how do I indent sub-categories?
It appears that it lines with main categories.
Thanks!
Jun 11, 05 at 04:35Bo: Replace with existing tags for Category listing with the following code in your
sidebar.php:
Jun 11, 05 at 04:43<h3><?php _e('Categories'); ?></h3><ul>
<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1'); ?>
</ul>
This is my favorite. Very easy to customize. I love it!
I’m still playing with it. But I’d like to know. What if I don’t want to rotate pics. Lets say I want a specific pic for a specific page. i.e. I want to have a main pic and a different pic for each subsequent page I make. How can I get it to do that? I’m incredibly new at php.
Thanks for making really clean customizable theme. It’s my favorite.
Jun 16, 05 at 00:41Aimee: First is to make your background image variable. Let’s say you have five images, one for the home page and four for the pages.
We’ll apply this variable in the stylesheet, but first we need to define it that way. So a conditional statement like this (you can put this in header.php before <style>):
<?php// this will be your main banner image
$banner = 'banner.jpg';
//Now a conditional statement for different pages
if ( is_page('Page One') ) { $banner = 'banner01.jpg'; }
elseif ( is_page('Page Two') ) { $banner = 'banner02.jpg'; }
elseif ( is_page('Page Three') ) { $banner = 'banner03.jpg'; }
elseif ( is_page('Page Four') ) { $banner = 'banner04.jpg'; }
?>
Replace Page One, Page Two.. with your appropriate page name that you’re using. If you have a page called “About, e.g., it would be:
if ( is_page('About') ) { $current = 'banner01.jpg'; }banner01.jpg, banner02.jpg.. are image files. You’re free to change the name, formats etc. Now, take out the definition of banner from stylesheet and copy it within <style> tags (in header.php) to look like this:
#bannertop { background: #fff url(<?php echo $banner; ?>) top center no-repeat }Comment out similar line in stylesheet style.css like this:
/* background: #fff url(banner.jpg) top center no-repeat; */You’re all done. Enjoy =)
Jun 16, 05 at 02:01Oh my goodness…thank you! You rock!
Jun 17, 05 at 01:23Hi, it’s Aimee again
I’m having problems getting the images to work. I am not sure if I am using the right name for the page (I’m using the slug name) or if I am just not doing it right. I am a little confused where you say:
Now, take out the definition of banner from stylesheet and copy it within tags (in header.php) to look like this:
#bannertop { background: #fff url() top center no-repeat }Because nothing has been changed in the style sheet at this point. So, I used the bit with the echo statement (in style.css) and it doesn’t work. I have also commented out the similar line.
Then I have this conflicting statement (used as example):
if ( is_page('About') ) { $current = 'banner01.jpg'; }shouldn’t $current be $banner?
So. I’ve all of this and I come up with a blank banner on all pages. I am using .png images.
I’m sorry I don’t quite understand all this yet
I’m sort of like a two year old when it comes to php…
Thanks!
Jun 20, 05 at 03:06Aimee: I’ve sent a couple of files by email (
Jun 20, 05 at 03:49header.phpandstyle.css). Do edit theheader.phpto add the correct file names of your images and either page slug or page id for this to work.Hi all,
I used Plain Vanilla 1.1 for my blog but the webpages arenot displayed not correctly in IE 6.0.2800 (Windows XP SP2): the right side has been pushed downward the main content.
You can see it here: http://www.phpvietnam.net/blog
I dont know how to solve this problem? Could anyone kindly help me?
Thanks
Jun 23, 05 at 11:30pcdinh: Images in your post which are larger than the width of content are pushing your sidebar content down. You need to use images that do not overflow. I generally use images that are about 420px width.
Jun 23, 05 at 13:50Thank Chetan,
I think that some of my screenshots on PDO has been the reason for this problem.
Plain Vanilla is cool. Thanks for your great work.
pcdinh
Jun 23, 05 at 17:39Can you tell me how to change link1 link2 link3 link4 at the top of the page?
Also, I am trying to get the plugin “Automatic Wordpress Music Player” to work - it shows it’s activated but nothing shows up…has anyone been successful with this?
I love your theme and your profession sounds very interesting! Smart Smart man!
Jul 2, 05 at 01:03Thanks,
Leane
This template rocks! Thanks for all the extra tidbits in the comments here, too.
Jul 2, 05 at 18:28Leane: Open
Jul 3, 05 at 11:47navbar.phpand insert links between double quotes and then provide a name to the link in place of link1, link2..Plain Vanilla seems to be broken in IE6 when a post with a lengthy title has been created
Jul 5, 05 at 14:42pcdinh: Looks okay to me. See a screenshot here. I tried with a long title seems to wrap well in IE6.
Jul 5, 05 at 15:06Is it just my computer or every site that uses the theme doesn’t look right in IE? The content aligns left, instead of middle where the background is supposed to be.
Everybody should use Firefox.
Plain vanilla rocks!
Jul 5, 05 at 21:16Halforange: Thanks for the kind words.
What version of IE? I have IE6, and it looks fine. I can’t say the same for IE5 (I have no way to test, since I don’t have a system to test on older browser).
Jul 5, 05 at 21:29Got it! Thank you Chetan!
Jul 8, 05 at 02:28Your friend in Indiana - Leane
Ah, that explains. I used IE5 (the system runs on Win 98 and nobody cares enough to upgrade it).
Jul 9, 05 at 11:33I just want to modify the style.css a bit
blockquote { margin:0 10px; }
blockquote p {
display: block;
color:#777!important;
border-left: 6px solid #FDE293;
text-align:left;
padding-left:10px;
background:#F3FFE6;
padding-bottom: 2px;
}
blockquote p:hover {
background:#F6F7F8;
display:block;
border-left: 6px solid #c60;
padding-bottom: 2px;
}
But in IE6 (Windows 2003 Std Edition), the background color can not cover all of the blockquote section and hover behavior does not work.
Any ideas?
Jul 16, 05 at 12:14It’s very strange. I just upgraded Plain Vanilla template to the version 1.1.1. After trying it in my localhost, I am very glad that it works fine in IE, Opera and Firefox. But when I upload them into my host, it does not work fine in IE. The sidebar content is pushed down. That doesnt happen in my PC.
Could anyone kindly tell how I can solve that?
Thanks
Jul 16, 05 at 13:02pcdinh: Delete first from server and then upload, also flush you caches.
Jul 16, 05 at 15:08I am using your original templates without any customization. The same result to me. Hic hic
Jul 17, 05 at 00:36hi, I have known why I can not apply hover effect to blockquote section when I use IE. IE does not support CSS2, whichs does not limit hover effect to link, but any HTML tag.
Jul 19, 05 at 00:14hello, thanks for the great template! i’m like 3-days old with php, so i need some help.
i would like to ask a few things:
1. right on top, on the left of “link1″, “link2″.. there’s my blogname appearing as a link. and when i go into different permalinks, the permalink appears beside my blog link on top. how do i disable that? it makes the top look rather messy.
2. how do i make a border-line appear between my blog date and my blog title in my posts? in my side bar under various sections, i’ld also like that to be that line underlining those major “titles”. for example: curioser’s side bar.
please help, thanks!
Aug 3, 05 at 03:25Lindsey: [1] Download the latest version on this page above. That should solve your Permalink problem. [2] Edit style.css to include the following:
h2 { border: 1px #ccc solid; } /* 1 pixel width, grey color, solid line */
Aug 5, 05 at 13:22thanks! how about making the line appear in between my post date and post title at the beginning of a new post?
Aug 6, 05 at 01:21Lindsey: My above code does a border all around. If you want the border just on the bottom, use this:
h2 { border-bottom: 1px #ccc solid; } /* 1 pixel width, grey color, solid line */
Aug 7, 05 at 21:13I’m another convert to Plain Vanilla. Thanks for the excellent theme.
Aug 9, 05 at 15:23Hello and congratz on your great theme! I came across one problem tough… When a visitor tries to post a comment, he can fill out all the forms, but when he clicks on “submit comment” he is being redirect to a page that says “not found”. I tried switching themes, and plain vanilla is the only theme that causes this problem…. Do you have a solution? Thanks!
Aug 10, 05 at 22:43Stinzz: You’re the first user reporting this. Try deleting the theme files and upload them again (in proper mode: php and css file[s] as ascii and image file[s] as binary).
Aug 10, 05 at 23:32Nope, doesn’t work…
Aug 10, 05 at 23:45Stijnzz: As far as the template is concerned, I’m not using any special scripts in the theme. Everything is in accordance with Codex. There aren’t even any custom scripts or programming. If you’ve modified something in the theme files, then, all bets are off.
May be it’s a good idea to lookup the error generated by your server. That would give you some idea for debug. Goodluck.
Aug 11, 05 at 00:31Hi and thanks for a really nice theme. Im curious (and forgive if this is a stupid newbie q) how to change the main image (banner.jpg) to one that is square, 480×480? I upload one such image and change the css as needed but i only get a height of 270 pixels to show. Thanks once again. Philip
Aug 18, 05 at 18:39Philip: That’s easy. Open style.css in a plain text editor link notepad and edit the height in #bannertop to set the image height. By default, I’ve kept it at 261px. You could change to something like 471px.
Aug 18, 05 at 18:46Wow that’s quick, many thanks! Last two questions: 1) how do I make thinner the underlines on the links in the navbar, and move the link to the title of my page (the one that’s above-left over banner.jpg) below the image? Many thanks again, Philip
Aug 18, 05 at 20:00Philip: Header division (or div) contains the header title h1 and the nav div. Move the nav div outside the header div and place it below.
Aug 18, 05 at 20:07Hi again Chetan and thank you. May I ask, how is the margin of the sidebar’s ul li lists set; cit be moved more to the left in order to use more of the horizontal space in the sidebar and if so how? If you want to have a look, the site is philipus.com
Aug 21, 05 at 00:37Philip: I’m going to have to charge you for support
Just kidding. The left indent is set by individual browsers. Firefox and IE both render them (I think) slightly different. Therefore, I didn’t set any margins. Trying to fix for one would screw up another. If you still want to go, try setting a left-margin value for ul li.
Aug 21, 05 at 00:45Lol yeah maybe you should. Im grateful nonetheless. I looked around for ages for a clean and nice-looking theme without a header and was happy when I saw plain vanilla. Anyway, re margins, that’s what I thought and I will leave it at that.
Aug 21, 05 at 00:51First off, this theme is the best ever. Seriously, I love you.
But I’m having a weird issue. If users post a long hyperlink in the comments, the entire page gets all stretched out. I have to delete their comment and tell them “sorry, no links allowed”. Is there an easy way to fix this? I suck at CSS and PHP, so a copy and paste answer would be great if possible. The reason I use your theme is because I’m such a newbie.
thanks!
Sep 8, 05 at 14:03bozer: You just need a Force Word Wrapping plugin. That would take care of anything long.
Sep 8, 05 at 14:21Ummm… you’re the greatest. Can’t believe how fast you responded. You must be bored at work like me.
Sep 8, 05 at 16:42didnt seem to do the trick: http://www.fraggerock.com
Weird..I thought that woulda done it =(
Sep 8, 05 at 16:48just a heads up.. I figured it out. It was working all along,, but I had a recent commnets plugin on the sidebar that was making it all messed up. disabled that and now its working (but unfortunately cant seem to get the sidebar to display correctly now)
Sep 13, 05 at 18:05Hi Chetan, the comments box on the individual post page (example) gets stretched into the sidebar. How can I fix this?
Sep 16, 05 at 09:25Many thanks
Chetan,
I have really enjoyed your Plain Vanilla. It is great.
We are starting up a blog to house information for a “Rebuild Louisiana Competition’ we are hosting. I am pretty green when it comes to any kind of script. Could you give me an easy way to change all the text color from blue to a dark grey? We appreciate whatever time you can spare for us.
thank you,
Corey
Oct 4, 05 at 01:19Hi. I really like your theme, and I’m trying to customize it, but I’m having some trouble.
Instead of a white page with black text, I’ve made a black page with white text. However, I can’t get the date above the subject heading to show up. It remains black no matter what I’ve tried. Is there a way to change the date’s color?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Oct 5, 05 at 05:29Can anyone help me out with a default page template to use with this theme? Basically, I’d like to create pages that don’t have the comments on the bottom. Just a page with nothing on it (except of course it fits in with the site).
Someone had mentioned that I could just remove a lot of the stuff from index.php, but I’m not really sure what. Most themes come with a default page file, but this one doesn’t
Thanks in advance!
Oct 27, 05 at 17:08Hi im having problems with the banner , i upload a new banner its the right name and file type but when i refresh my blog its Blank not showing up and when i check it by going to the www address it was blank there as well.
And i uploaded it all right, can someone help me Please
Thanks
Oct 30, 05 at 19:20Pl make sure that the banner file is in the plain vanilla theme folder and is a binary* upload (not ascii).
To be safe, delete the existing banner and upload a new one. Also, the filename should be in lowercase. a “banner.JPG” is different from a “banner.jpg” in a Unix / Linux filesystem.
(* The binary type corresponds to media type of files: image files, audio files, video files, zip files etc., and FTP programs provide a way to upload files in either mode: ascii or binary; use the feature)

Oct 31, 05 at 11:20Love love love your theme! I downloaded it from Alex King and it is beautiful. But, I’ve been having trouble including tables. I just reloaded it above but have still had table woes.
Regardless of whether I post the html table directly into the post or use CSS and post it that way, there is always excessive white empty space before the table appears in the post.
e.g. you can see where I tried using test code on my server http://whitebalcony.com/houseblog/blog/?p=5
But interestingly, when I set up a test site on blogsome.com with the exact same text code, the white space was considerably smaller (although still there - ugh). See http://smurfhouse.blogsome.com/2005/11/11/hello-world/
I know the wordpress gurus hate tables but I don’t know how else to post thumbnails easily.
Have you seen this glitch before? I asked on wordpress.org and they were super helpful but none of their suggestions solved the white space issue.
Thanks in advance for any tips you would provide.

Just thought I’d drop a line. Nice theme. I’ve been using a modified version of it for some time on my blog.
Nov 28, 05 at 03:02I’m using it on my blog as well. Some of you might find the images on my blog header interesting to check out…
Dec 1, 05 at 15:03Hey Chetan,
I was wondering how I could lower the top of the page (the navbar) so that there isn’t so much space between my banner and the top. I tried a bunch of things but couldn’t get it working.
If you check out my site, you can see there is a large bit of white space between the top navbar links, and the banner.
As usual, thanks for the help!

Mar 22, 06 at 05:54Is there any way to split the sidebar into two columns?
Thanks
