Misty look Theme

I have written a few posts. I wanted to have different pages like home, recipes, contact me etc…also wanted the display on home page as well..How do I go about linking these pages so that they can be accessed from the home page? Kindly guide.Thanks in advance
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

First of all, see this support document on the differences between posts and pages.
Your site has a “home” page which is a dynamically created page that shows your posts in reverse chronological order (newest at top). Are you wanting a static home page that doesn’t show your posts?
Do you want all your recipe posts to show up when you click a tab in the top navigation?

Hi Sacredpath,
Thanks for your reply.I was able to resolve the issue on my own.However I have a new query :-) In the settings page under reading option,For each article in a feed, show- I had opted for summary. But every time the whole post is displayed..What do I do to display summaries of all the posts I have published in the home page . Thanks in advance..

That option is for your RSS feed, not the actual posts on your blog. To truncate the posts you need to use the read-more tag:

No negative effect: on the contrary, it results in less scrolling down as well as faster loading time (if your posts contain images and videos). -
Thanks for your prompt replies. I was able to solve the issues. I need your help in customising my page displays. These are my requests
1. I would like to put my post-titles in a text box with 3D effects/glass effects
2. I would like to change the font type and colors of the post titles.
3.I have inserted an Image on the right hand panel under the heading “About”.But only a part of the image is being displayed. What is the exact size of the image to display it completely.
Thanks for all the help..Truly appreciate it.

1. It may not be super easy to do advanced CSS3 to get a 3D or glass effect on WordPress.com. I did a search for “css glass effects” but I saw mostly advanced things that required markup changes (which you can’t do) or images (which is doable but not easy especially for every post) or advanced things that only work in the very latest versions of Chrome or Safari or something. Do you by chance have an example link showing what you are looking to do?
2. With the Custom Design upgrade, you can change title fonts using the settings on the Appearance → Custom Design → Fonts page.
To change font colors of post titles, you could use this:
.posttitle h2 a:link, .posttitle h2 a:visited { color: blue; }To change the color of all links, use this:
a:link, a:visited { color: blue; }You can find more colors here:

http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color/#svg-color3. In the Mistylook sidebar, use an image width of 180px to make it fit.
In your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS page, make sure that any time you use url() the link inside starts with http://

Thanks design simply for your response.
What I had in mind can be found in the site http://www.mariasmenu.com/ , where each recipe name is mentioned in a box. Hope you understood my requirement..Thanks again.
I will try your advice regarding the fonts and give a feedback on it…
-
Thanks for the example. The http://www.mariasmenu.com/ site uses this image as the background for titles: http://www.mariasmenu.com/wp-content/themes/organic/images/header_bg.png
And they posted this notice as part of their footer, “Please don’t steal the images. We won’t complain – but it’s bad karma!”
So you can do a similar effect to that one if you create an image yourself. Try using their image as inspiration or look for a tutorial online that will help you learn how to create a similar image yourself first.
-
My intention was not to take the exact one..But to create something on those lines. So this is something is something you can create on your own as an image and insert on the posts.Is it??
-
-
You could do something like this:
.posttitle h2 { background: url(YOUR_IMAGE_URL) repeat-x; display: block; width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 0px .5em; height: HEIGHT_OF_YOUR_IMAGE_URL; line-height: HEIGHT_OF_YOUR_IMAGE_URL; }Replace YOUR_IMAGE_URL with the image URL you upload to your media library.
Replace HEIGHT_OF_YOUR_IMAGE_URL with the height in pixels of your image, e.g. 30px.

Will try it out after a while and let you know how it turned out… I goofed up while setting the font colour..The display settings went back to the old form..Problesm of being technically Challeneged :-)..shall sort this out first before getting to the latest one..Thaanks

One more Q :-P Every time I want to make any amends in specs, I go to CSS and just add the new command to the existing ones, preview and save stylesheet..rt???
-
Yes, that should work, but there are also a few things to keep in mind:
1. It’s better to just place CSS changes in the CSS editor and not copy/paste the entire original stylesheet there.
2. If you’re making changes to things already listed in your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS page, it’s okay to replace it but make sure to preview first so you know it does what you expected.

slowly getting the hang of it. Thanks a lot for being so helpful…So far so good..Now have to give a try on the imgae part..If its not a trouble for you, could you have a look at the site and let me know how it looks? I know I am asking for too much.. But to get a feedback from an expert would mean a lot to me..Its ok if you cant..I’ll understand that as well..Thanks..:-)
