  I’m assuming that you’d have to edit the CSS, so I’m more than willing to buy the upgrade, but right now I can’t seem to figure out how to edit it in a proper way with the Preview function…

  You can see my blog here: http://knolly.wordpress.com/

  What I’m trying to do is edit it so that there is no division between the style “post top” and “post lastfive”. I tried a few things like just pasting all of the “post top” part into the stylesheet but renaming it “post lastfive” without success. Is there any way to do what I’m trying? Thanks!

  I really don’t understand what your trying to do, but if you mean that you want your stick note (your first post that looks different then the rest of your posts) to look like the rest of your posts, then replace this
  .sticky, .top { padding: 15px 10px 0px; background: #1b1814; margin-bottom: 15px; border-bottom: 1px solid #35302a; }
  and put this,
  .sticky, .top { padding: 15px 10px 0px; background: none; margin-bottom: 15px; border-bottom: none; }

  and replace this
  .top .postmetadata { border-top: 1px solid #35302a; padding: 8px 0; }
  with
  .top .postmetadata { border-top: none; padding: 8px 0; }

  other then that, I don’t know what else your asking for maybe someone else could help you.

  I don’t think it’s the sticky. That theme has a different look for the 1st post than it does for the others. (That’s the way it was written.) Let me see what I can come up with

  Oh, your right, but when I change the sticky element on the CSS it changed the first post.

  Try this:

  .lastfive {
  padding: 15px 10px 0px;
  background: #1b1814;
  margin-bottom: 15px;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #35302a;
  border-top: 1px solid #35302a;
  padding: 8px 0;
  font-size: 1.1em;
  }

  That should make all of them look like the first post.

  @aw1923 – Yes, because the theme defined the sticky and the top as the same way.

  Many thanks for the help! I actually just swapped over to a different theme that jives a bit better for me, haha. I really appreciate the prompt help though.

  FYI – the blog in your user name has been deleted. You probably want to change that to your current blog.
