  I pretty much have my custom css done with the theme Misty. I would like (if possible) to put a little comment balloon to the left of where it shows if you have any comments in the post meta area. If anyone could help I’d appreciate it.

  I can’t help with your comment balloon question.

  I just wanted to say that I also use the Misty Look theme and I like the way you expanded it. If it had two sidebars on the right hand side I’d go for it. :)

  thanks timethief, I did notice your blog yesterday and found it helpful. I love the misty theme, but I think on down the line I’ll have to change to something that has a sidebar on each side, just because I have tons of info on my sidebars and I still have information to add, and I don’t like the drop down menus for categories and such.

  I’m using Misty too and have just bought the upgrade. I looked at both your blogs and wonder:

  timethief…I like the button at the bottom of your posts from addthis, but from reading their site it seems to be a plugin? Are you still on the free WP?

  crysacraig…your blog’s wonderful. How on earth did you do the solid line and book logo between posts?

  TIA…back to reading tutorials.

  I’m back. I added an addthis button to my sidebar and just found your thread, timethief, about the addition to posts. I was really hoping it was automatic. If we could only use Java then FeedFlare could do it. <sigh>

  @ellaella about the book divider. I made it myself. There was already a divider graphic in the template, all it was was a dotted line, I just made a solid line and used a book graphic I had kicking around. I just used Paint Shop.

  Thanks, crysacraig. You did a super job. I have so much to learn about CSS. Bit by bit.

  Web design. html, css is alot of trial and error. You just play around till you get it right.

  What a coincidence, this is exactly what I wanted too (at least that’s what i think I understood “comment/balloon graphic” to mean. I clicked on timethief’s blog and saw the oversized graphic ” and do not know how to incorporate it in my Misty Themed photography blog.

  @shimworld..timethief doesn’t have any comment graphic. She has the Misty template too. I think maybe you mean the quote graphic to represent blockquotes??

  Yes, that one. How is that done?

  Just realised what I’m after is called a Blockquote and it’s just a matter of clicking on the Indent/Blockquote button.

  unfortunately, the comment link doesn’t have a class of its own. you can just put the image at the right of the post meta:

  #content .postmetadata {
  #F2F0F4 url(http://sunburntkamel.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/comment.png) no-repeat scroll right
  }
