Hi,

I'm new here, new to WP, new to Atahualpa and new to everything pretty much so... be gentle with me, will ya?

I am impressed how far I've managed to get with my attempts to design my own blog - considering how little I know about anything webdesign. So first off a BIG thank you for making a theme that even I can at least do SOME stuff in! (Donation pending, promise!)

BUT - I need some help:
For some odd reason, some of my link categories behave differently than the others. See here:



I've set all the categories up exactly the same - and it's not really brain surgery at that, so I can't figure out what I've done wrong...? Anyone else?

Also - I think these headlines (or "titles", perhaps?) are too big. I want them bold, so they stand out, but I'd like to decrease their fontsize. But they won't go smaller than this. I've tried the widget title-box in the options area, but this is still the smallest it will go - if I put in smaller than 0.8em, it still doesn't go smaller than this.

And last - is there any way I can choose font for titles separately? I only find the general font-familly box in the Body-text-links-area, and then I change the font for the whole site...

The site is here: http://himmelochord.se - although I will probably fiddle around some more with it while waiting (eagerly) for a response from here.

Huge thanks in advance!

PS: And another thing - I really like the theme's rectangle "bullets" (as opposed to the ugly standard bullets I've got instead...), but is there a way I can change their color?

What version of Atahualpa and WP?
How did you create your links?
Are you using the standard 'Links' widget? What settings in the widget?

look at the options at ATO->Style WIDGETS

WP 2.9.2
Atahualpa 3.4.6 (as I understood it the 3.4.7 is so new it's causing ppl problems, and considering how much I understand of everything, I figured I'd wait to upgrade...! )

I created the link (all in the same way) by clicking 'links' and 'add new'... I'm pretty sure I had added the Links-widget to the right sidebar where I wanted the links, but now when I check, that area is empty. (But the links are still there on the site...) So as for settings - none, I think...?

(Edit: I tried now to put the Links-widget back, but then all categories but one just disappear... I just don't get this. *blush*)

The bullet/rectangle/border thing sorted though - thanks! :-)

There - I think I sorted the widget-issue (yay!): I had My Link Order-plugin installed, but had used another one. Guess there was a conflict, so when I use the MLO-one, it looks right.

Now - the only thing I still don't know how to do, is how to make the title font smaller...? Because I can change the Widget title font to 0.5em - it doesn't affect the size one bit. Where do I adjust that...?

Thanks a million for all help so far!

Try using px instead of em. I think I had that issue at one time.

Now (!) I've found the CSS.php-file where I could fiddle with the font sizes. BUT - there is one set of sizes in px and one set in em... Which one is for what purpose? I tried fiddling with both, but couldn't really make out what really did the trick...?

Also - since I don't know the first thing about editing those files... Is there recommended reading where I can find what I'm looking for and what does what? I mean - size is pretty self-instructional, but there will be more stuff I want to change. I feel like I'll be asking a heckuvalot of questions around here otherwise...

A "...for dummies"-book that I can pick up? (But what should I look for? PHP for dummies? CSS for dummies? WP for dummies...?)

Thanks for your help.
