css help — oulipo theme
-
I am setting up my WordPress site with the Oulipo theme and would like to do the following:
1. remove the dotted lines beneath the header.
2. Move the search bar to the left column.
3. Remove the Categories section on the right column.I am using a static first page for my site.
Thanks a lot for any help you can offer!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If the categories bit on the right is a widget you can just remove it by going to your dashboard and the selecting Appearance > Widgets. The other two issues can be fixed with this:
h2, #search {border:none;} #searchform {text-align:left;} -
-
This will remove both the categories and archives section:
#supplementary .meta {display:none;}And this will remove just the categories but only in browsers that support the first-child selector:
#supplementary .meta li:first-child {display:none;} -

Are you using Internet Explorer 6 or 7? Because if so then you’re right, it will not do anything in those browser versions. If that’s not the case and you are previewing the code make sure you hit refresh afterwards to make sure the modifications show.

I would like to add a logo to the left side bar. Instead or just above the blog name. I would like it to link to “home/frontpage” (whenever I am browsing categories).
I have read how to add this line to header.php just above the <h1> tag:
<img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/yourimage.jpg” alt=”header image” />But I need a CCS code? Is there one?
Thanks, Karin

The code you have cannot be used here at wordpress.COM since we cannot edit the theme files.
First off, you have been setting all your posts to sticky posts, and that is not necessary as all posts will be shown in reverse chronological order (newest at top) automatically.
Since you have been doing that, there are a HUGE amount of posts showing on your main page and with my limited bandwidth wireless internet service, I will not wait for your site to load as it will eat up a huge amount of my bandwidth that I have to pay for.
First thing you have to do is edit all your posts and “unsticky” them. Then go to settings > reading and set your blog to show at most 3 posts per page. Always think of your visitors and keep your pages fast loading. I personally would not wait for your site to load no matter how compelling your content.
As far as an image or logo that is clickable, the easiest way to do that is to put the image behind the existing site title and then make the text for the site title transparent.
Do the above suggestion (unsticking posts and setting your blog to show 3 posts maximum) and then I will help you.

And actually, I just checked and your blog is self-hosted, http://ismyblogworking.com/book.farvelademarmelade.dk .
You need to head over to http://wordpress.ORG/support/ as that is where self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG are supported.
These forums are for those hosted here on the wordpress.COM free hosting service and things here work differently.
If you do not know the difference, see this support document: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ .

Thanks for your reply. I have changed all my posts (made them non-sticky), and changed settings to show 3 posts per page. I am new at this – and grateful for your time and advice.
