not many pics about jb but i added one to that theme. check out pics and also look at themes and look at picture size etc. I was limited to 200px high with that theme due to the things at the side thats why there's no legs. The sexy blog theme would work well if you had a nice big horse head either side imo

[kompressaur]

oh ps i had to change your ddispalyed spread sheet to ID 2 jb. the cache thing we have stores pages to make them load faster. it wouldnt let me see the changes i made to spreadsheet one to fit it on the page. any questions just ask

[kompressaur]

I found a better theme for your picture jb but the prob is the menu for the pages aint that defined and i had to cut down your rules header. Best way is for you to find something you like bearing in mind the pictures etc that you want to add and i'll sort it out for you from there.

Looks amazing komp, I shall be on there later doing some indepth work that the blog deserves, I love the pic, we need to add bits and bobs but it does look really impressive at the moment.

Right komp my old friend, lets have a look at my blog. Firstly is there a way of changing the Font or style of the headers? Without changing the whole theme?
Also could the main body of the page be a little wider? So as to take some of the dead space from the left of the page?

Also that would sort the issue with the results table. Talking of the results table, can we create an archive of old results tables? So that we can have a results table per week and the old ones hidden away if anybody wishes to recap?

Sorry for all the questions.

Firstly is there a way of changing the Font or style of the headers?

Should be easy enough jb. I think the font will be the same through the theme though. I'll go get your style sheet and let you have a look.

Main body wider? Should be able to. I'll have a look and any reason it breaks up and looks silly then if you just choose a wider theme jb. Regarding the history of the stats and results jb just save the old stats as '2' (ive got it at now and make a new spreadsheet in fture and call it '3' (in the spreadsheet id bottom right of spreadsheet. You could jut have a page with all the old spreadsheets on it.

Keep the questions a coming jb as you know i like all this and i would rather have qestions than just sit fustrated about nothing happening.

[kompressaur]

just looking in your theme jb. Some install notes. i'll have a look-

=============
CUSTOMIZATION
=============

Unlocking Calendar:
- Use a text editor (i.e: Notepad) to open the sidebar.php file and un-comment the calendar areas.
- If you don't know how to uncomment in HTML, DON'T!!!

=============
TIP
=============

- Use alignleft or alignright to make your images float left or right. For example:

[kompressaur]

well i uncommented the calenday to see how it looks and it aint appeared jb. i think its due to caching probs (ie stres in the browser- its a good thing) we'll give that a bit of time to see if it appears and how it looks.

here's your css sheet jb. What you can change is the colours which will appear like #17111B (text i belive) and color: #000 for background. maybe not. see colours here to test etc

Maybe best to wait to see if i can expand this first though jb as i aint seeing anything i know on how. Should be easy enough. slick will know better though.

[kompressaur]

oh and your text font is always the first in the font family line for each bit (ie veranda) here's some 'web safe' fonts you can use
Web-safe Fonts

[kompressaur]

maybe it's time for slick to come in here so as we can make it so as you can change your fonts etc yourself jb and then view them yourself etc. problem is that with the cache on (makes your site a hell of a lot quicker to load) it might take time for you to see the changes. Maybe easier for you to check the theme thread and look for a wider theme jb. If your using that one though i would make the top menu look like-

I The AW Winter I Course Guides and Statistics I Rules & Regs I The results table I

or use - after and before menu names. Just a thought

[kompressaur]

just looking how to change the width jb. Found another theme site
Theme Viewer If anyone wants any of these themes download and add as a post attachment or else post a link and ill grab it

[kompressaur]

nah for the life of me jb i cant work out how to change the width Its all a learning experience for us and thats why i want these to take off as between me and slick we could both learn a bit about php and stuff from it. aye lifes ok.

Interesting Komp,

can you have a play around with the margins in this part of the text? I think that is relevent to the text box perhaps it could read

margin: 5px 15px 5px 15px

hr{
clear: both;
margin: 15px 15px 5px 15px;
border: 0;
height: 1px;
text-align: left;
background: #d1a902;
color: #d1a902;
}
