2. Yeah sure, Alex.
   I didn’t think of enter­ing myself!

3. Oops, Alex, I’ve just looked at the com­pet­i­tion pages and I have left a few per­son­al­ized things in my theme. I’ll need to clean it up. I won’t get to it tonight (It’s 3am here) but I’ll try to clean it up later.

7. Am using the Sand theme on my new blog. I’m really enjoy­ing it so far, and am in the pro­cess of tweak­ing it how I like it. I hope to use blog­ging to help me learn PHP, and so far so good.

   Thanks for the beau­ti­ful themes,
   Aaron

8. I really like the theme. It’s been easy to learn how to tweak what I want.

   One ques­tion: is there an easy way to cen­ter the text between the blog title and “Powered by”? I’m prob­ably being dense about it, but I can’t fig­ure out where to change that.

9. Hi Bob,
   All you need to do is add
   text-align:center;
   to the #head­erb­lock rule in the style sheet.
   That should fix it for you.

10. Thanks for the theme! I just applied it to my WP install­a­tion and I’m tweak­ing it a little. Very nice! Good luck in the competition!

11. Hey Mike -

    I just wanted to say thanks for shar­ing your work. I’m using a mod­i­fied ver­sion of Journalized-Blue for my latest blog. If any­one likes the color scheme I’m using, you can grab my CSS file from the link on the lower left side of my page.

    Cheers

14. Where do I edit wp_get_links()?

    I edited the rightcolumn.php file and put in work­ing link code from
    another theme. That worked, but I don’t think that’s what you meant.

    I had tried renam­ing the link col­lec­tions in the admin con­trol panel but this
    didn’t work.

    I love the color and lay­out of the theme, but the link prob­lem both­ers me.

15. Hi John,
    You don’t need to edit wp_get_links. What is it you are try­ing to do?
    The codex has inform­a­tion on wp_get_links().

    Use my con­tact form (top left of the page) to email me privately with more detail if you want. I’ll try to help you get sorted.

16. Hi mike, this maybe a silly ques­tion but, I was won­der­ing how you can add a image for the main title.

    I see that you cur­rently have “mikes little’s journ­al­ized” in text. But is there a way to change this to a gif or a jpg?

    I went ahead and tried adding under the web­log title under gen­eral options and the image
    does pop up on the admin GUI. how­ever, when i click view site, I don’t seem to get the image. Just the HTML code i typed in..

    any feed­back would be greatful.

    thx!

17. Hi Bruce,
    I’m glad you like the theme. It should be straight for­ward to add a image to the header.
    Replace
    <h1 id="header"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
    with
    <h1 id="header"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><img src="/images/header.jpg" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" /></a></h1>
    where /images/header.jpg should be set to your image.

19. I just installed WordPress a few hours ago. Went look­ing for themes / tem­plates and I think I’ll be stick­ing with this one for a while. Cus­tom­ized, of course. Come check it out.

20. Oh, Gosh! Am I the only one ima­gin­ing how many ‘Mike clones’ are out there?

21. Love the theme. I use it on my site, while I’m learn­ing how WordPress works and how CSS works.

    I hacked it a bit to add stuff I want and get it to look like I want, but main­tained your link as the cre­ator of the theme.

    Just wanted to make a post about some­thing that was driv­ing me nuts.

    I was get­ting a lot of spam com­ment and spam track­back links. Even though WordPress held them in the mod­er­a­tion queue, there were still show­ing up in the right side­bar under recent com­ments.
    It looks like you have some there currently.

    I edited the query to get the com­ments and it seems to have solved the problem.

    I changed the query under recent com­ments from:

    [code]
    if ( $com­ments = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT comment_author, comment_author_url, comment_ID, comment_post_ID FROM $wpdb->comments ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 5″) )
    [/code]

    to

    [code]
    if ( $com­ments = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT comment_author, comment_author_url, comment_ID, comment_post_ID FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved = ‘1’ ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 5″) )[/code]

    Just thought you might like to know to update your theme, incase you or oth­ers using it exper­i­ence the same problem.

    Thanks again for the great theme!

22. Hi Paul,
    Thanks for the com­pli­ments. And for the tip. How­ever, whilst my theme on this site includes the recent com­ments block, the theme I released doesn’t. My code to dis­play recent com­ments is not the same as you have. It does how­ever already include the fix you men­tion.
    I’m guess­ing you got your recent com­ments from some plu­gin some­where. The author of that plu­gin needs noti­fy­ing of your bug fix.

24. Thanks for a great look­ing theme! I’m just get­ting my site off the ground, and I am hav­ing some trouble with the archive setup. When I click on the month of the archive, it just brings up a list of the files in the dir­ect­ory. I have been look­ing around try­ing to fig­ure this out, but I’m not exactly a tech expert. If you have time to look at it and see if you know what went wrong, I would appre­ci­ate it.

    Thanks again for the theme!

25. Hi Nate,
    You have set up Options -> Permalinks to require require mod_rewrite.
    It looks like you either don’t have mod_rewrite enabled or you haven’t cre­ated or edited your .htac­cess file.

    Hope this helps,
    Mike

26. Thanks for the help… I even­tu­ally figured it out. The default permalink set­ting is:

    /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    and edit­ing the .htac­cess file with the value WP gives you for this string will pro­duce the effect I was see­ing. How­ever, change the permalink to:

    /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    and update the .htac­cess file and it works fine.

    Thanks for the help!
    –Nate

30. Your theme is awe­some! I was won­der­ing if it is offered in a two column form!

31. Hi,
    It is not cur­rently avail­able in a two column ver­sion, but I am work­ing on it.

32. Okay. I will look for­ward to that!!

33. cool theme. simple and no-nonsense. i like how you mod­i­fied it for christ­mas. it sorta reminds me of my old theme.

34. nice theme but please add some images in ure next ver­ison

    Reply ↓

35. Hi Srinath,
    I’m not quite sure what images you might want me to add in the next ver­sion. One of the main points of this theme is that there are no images!

    As it hap­pens one com­mon request I get from users of my theme is for a header image. The next ver­sion will include an easy way to add one.

36. Great look­ing 3 columns, Mike. I couldn’t find many besides yours, so I was inspired to tinker with my CSS and came up with this mod­i­fied theme for 3 columns I’m new at this, so won­der­ing what you think?

37. Hi Corra
    I’m glad you like the theme. You didn’t put an address in that link so I couldn’t look. Unless you meant http://dailyplanet.corragroup.com/ In which case, it’s a good vari­ation on Sadish’s, nice.

41. Hey Mike, I love the theme. I too am try­ing to replace the header with an image. I fol­lowed the dir­ec­tions above, is there a step I’m miss­ing? I’ve been try­ing for hours and any help would be appreciated.

42. I love your themes. I made a few style changes to ‘Journ­al­ized Winter’, but some things are still a bit screwy (I got deployed to Iraq again in the middle of the mod). You may find it inter­est­ing (http://www.godlesskinser.com/blog). I am build­ing a new site and will prob­ably us a vari­ant of one of yours again for my theme as I love the lay­out and the ease of seper­at­ing con­tent. Thanks for the great themes.
