  I payed for the premium so I could change the CSS. I did change it how I wanted, but now all the extra CSS is gone, and I can’t manipulate my menu. What happened?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hey there.

  When did this stopped working? Did you change something besides the CSS?

  I figured out there was a CSS revision history and went back to the full CSS (I still don’t know why it disappeared).

  There seems to be a conflict between changing the header background photo from the dashboard, and adding the same photo in CSS. If I did that, the menu reverted to the original theme menu. I made a fake CSS header link, and now it’s fine. I don’t know why some things work or don’t, but it looks like I want now, so I’m happy.

  The next thing to figure out is how to remove the underlines in the sidebar, and adding one between posts.

  Thanks!

  Hey!

  You might want to try something like this for that:

  /* Hide the post details sidebar lines. */
  .entry-meta ul, .entry-meta li {
  	border: 0;
  }
  /* Add a line after each post. */
  .entry-content {
    border-bottom: 1px solic #ccc;
  }

  I think that should give you a good result, or at least a good start.

  Cheers!

  Thanks! it worked, (the side bar part, at least, which is the most important).

  I have one more confusing question. I have a header image that’s 990px wide, which is the width of my page, but it shrinks in size when I try to place it. I had to cut the end off (which is white) to make it the right size.

  Thanks

  Hey!

  I realized there was a typo (solic, instead of solid) in the snippet for the line, so I have fixed it in your blog directly. It’s working now :-).

  Regarding your header, your theme recommends (“requires”) an image that is 780 × 180 pixels.

  The best would be to edit the image to that size (crop, resize, modify) before uploading it.

  Hope that helps now!
