Thank you much for the suggestion.

Hey, Chase, how did you get the round twitter icon on MyCoffeePro.com to extend over the right margin of the page and into the background?

Thanks, Lila

Hi Lila, I used a little trick that juggledad helped me with for the email/comments/rss icons.
Go to ATO (Atahualpa Theme Options) --> Style & Edit Header Area --> Configure Header Area --> insert
Code:

<div class="clearfix image-box"><a href="http://twitter.com/MyCoffeePro">
<img border="0" alt="Twitter @MyCoffeePro" src="http://www.mycoffeepro.com/images/Tweet-Espresso.png" width="174" height="174" /></a></div>

So in my ATO, that entry box looks like this
Code:

%bar1 %image <div class="clearfix image-box"><a href="http://twitter.com/MyCoffeePro">
<img border="0" alt="Twitter @MyCoffeePro" src="http://www.mycoffeepro.com/images/Tweet-Espresso.png" width="174" height="174" /></a></div>%pages %cats

Now you have to tell the div how to appear on the page, so you:
Go to ATO --> Add HTML/CSS Inserts --> CSS Inserts --> insert
Code:

.image-box { position: absolute; top: 2px; right: 20px; z-index: 40;}
Hope that's explained well enough :-)

Larry, you are a Smarty-Pants and I love ya for it! :p

I didn't even THINK of doing 3 Recent Posts widgets for Featured Content!

I have a new customer that wants that and I've been trying to wrestle with Plugins and Atahualpa to get the desired effect ... which I did achieve, but I think your solution would be much better.

It's so complicated and required so much code manipulation that I'm not even going to attempt to describe how I did it. I still might try your idea and see how it looks, or try something more simple in anticipation of the change frequency she'll want.

After the client's site goes "live" I'll share it here in the forums, but we have it password-privacy-locked-down until it's complete so nobody can view it.

Well-done, and great food photography.

I have a blog using the Atahualpa theme at: http://sj.foodsci.info

It took a while to get the upgrade to 3.5.1 to work well. The titles could still be bigger (I can't see how to do that). It has a bazillion plugins, and they pretty much seem to all work. If English is not your first language, I have Google Translate in the sidebar.

After spending a few weeks learning the ins and outs of atahualpa and wordpress, I present to you my community blog. It's a website devoted to video game 'griefing', which is essentially players causing one another aggravation in game - it's pretty funny, lots of videos.

Tell me what you think! Join our community if you want!

Very nicely done - the photography is exceptional too.

berkleegrad Jul 17, 2010 07:28 AM

Can you tell me how you made the background? How did you get the highlight and the drop shadow?

Also, I have been browsing around some of the sites you guys have posted up here, very impressive! :D

Sorry - meant to quote this.

How did you get the highlight and drop shadow in the background image?

Hi. Just completed a site for my client, a new locksmith. I designed his logo & business cards; the site complements them. Take a look: http://accesskeyusa.com.

Fux Jul 18, 2010 03:16 AM

I've had this one online for a while now: http://www.heavyconnection.net I am not fully satisfied with the menu bar yet, but I'm afraid that's nothing I can change without sacrificing dynamics for the pages.

Kazna Jul 19, 2010 10:18 PM

This site i've created months ago, i think i made a lot of changes but it still looks like the classic one of Atahualpa, haha :D Have a look at http://ghibli.ismywebsite.com

@ Fux: Hey Fux how did you make it possible for the links not appearing "round border" when clicked on in FF? I really love to do that but never made it :(

alpmaster Jul 19, 2010 11:48 PM

Hello,
I have used Atahualpa for creation of Алпинисти - височинна работа - the site of my company Alpmaster Ltd, which provides rope access services. I've never seen so powerful WP theme. I'm impressed by customizing options and seo abilities of Atahualpa. Unfortunately, the content of my site is in Bulgarian (I'm working on English version now), but if you are interested, you can see some pictures in the gallery.
Many thanks to the developers of Atahualpa!

Ally Jul 20, 2010 11:14 AM

I just found this theme last night. I've managed to change a few items, nothing too drastic though, still learning.

Here's my blog:
http://themommydiariesblog.com/

Reading the boards have been a lot of help. I'm trying to figure out how to add a widget under my header so I can add a featured content slider.

This is a nice clean looking site....well done...

zmgcreative Jul 22, 2010 05:23 PM

Here is the first site I created with Atahualpa, http://akcaptainwalt.com/

The site turned out so well I have already started converting two other sites over to the theme, and plan on using it for almost all my future projects. What a great product!

ghost1227 Jul 23, 2010 02:11 PM

First site I used this theme for was my company site (http://www.foxtrak.com). Working on another (much more complex) site now :p

I've played with it for about a couple weeks. Using it for:

The Digital Tavern - http://blog.digitaltavern.com/

I've also used a more stock configuration for a friend's personal blog here

On The Digital Tavern, I'm still battling with the calendar as I can't seem to affect the font sizes... but this is a work in progress.

there is a virus on your page man......not cool at alll

playsoul Jul 24, 2010 04:56 PM

I'm getting ready to announce my multi-author site as open for participation soon and would love to get some feedback on it along with any suggestions from the great user community here. I'm still working on getting my shopping cart integrated and a few other tweaks, but it's getting very close everything I envisioned for it so far. It's my first site ever - I knew absolutely nothing about web design or development six months ago, so please be gentle.

Thanks for your input!

I am very impressed with this theme, in fact I can mimics other themes using JQuery. And we can just insert the JQuery from themes options.

Check-out my blog here, with Atahualpha + JCorner, Lavalamp, and Easing.

I am just finishing up with this website for a friend of mine. I am still struggling with the Calendar (I can't seem to find a decent and easy to use events calendar) but it's pretty much done at this point.

Many thanks to Paul and Larry for their help!

Volhova Jul 27, 2010 10:58 AM

I've just completed a site about a friend of mine. She's a librarian and there's a lot things to put in there, but the basic look is this: http://libgoce.webege.com/

I think Atahualpa is really great theme. :)

Just wanted to add, I found a very nice solution for the events calendar. Larry's post on My Calendar was exactly what I was looking for! :D

paulae Jul 27, 2010 03:35 PM

Yes, I was going to say "Isn't that My Calendar?" It's the best I've found so far.

Very nice site! Very clear and easy to read and navigate. I like the Ho Ho Ho in the search field. :)
