  This theme is really pretty, but is proving to be more and more fustrating as I try to do more with it… the text alignment problem mentioned by allwayswellwithin at the beginning of this topic is still causing me issues, as well as the comment box which, inexplicably, is covering half of my post! http://capecandles.wordpress.com/floral/

  I go into visual editor and space everything out correctly but as soon as you hit save draft or publish, everything goes back to a squashed mess… eeek! tearing my hair out here… love the way this theme looks, but I don’t know if i’m going through a stupid patch here, but i’m just not winning…

  any ideas? thanks for your help

  @ellipsis2creative Duster does not show a sidebar on posts and pages.

  –> I am sorry if this seems like an incredibly silly question, but when does the sidebar content actually show, if not on posts and pages? I’d like to at least be able to display a list of links, and possibly some images from a flickr account, somewhere that’s not stuck all the way down in the footer. Is that possible? Is it because I am using WP for a static website, that I cannot display anything in the sidebar (because all my content is organized in pages)?

  I see that vanessajaded http://brianandvanessa.wordpress.com/ has been able to display some sidebar content, which makes me hopeful that i’ll be able to figure out how, too. Or is this the much-talked-about Duster Ephemera (whatever that is)?.

  1. The sidebar called “Main sidebar” appears on all blog views, while the “Showcase sidebar” appears on the Showcase page and is the one that holds the “Duster Ephemera” widget by default.

  Ok, I figured some of this out – I am able to display something in the sidebar, but only in the showcase sidebar.

  Does anyone know if there is a way to remove the texts saying “recent posts”, if using the theme for a static website, without editing the CSS?

  Is anybody aware of how to fix this text alignment issue? This is just horrible, there has got to be a simple solution to this via CSS I just don’t know how to figure it out.

  I need to see this on the actual blog. Could you put up a temporary post or page for us to look at and then give us a link to it?

  I run the duster theme on our site: http://www.ucrebelradio.com. I have made tons of modifications through the edit CSS option, but have yet to figure out how to make the video embeds smaller (as I have shrunk the width of the page), nor have I been able to fix the small feature image size on explorer. Any leads, suggestions?
