What’s Changed?
The main changes in the themes are these:
I’ve added missing tags to the main section of the theme. That is, the ‘Previous Entries’ and ‘Next Entries’ links after the main content. I’ve also added in the Next and previous story links above the post when you are looking at an individual post.
In the side bar I’ve removed all the get_links() and get_linksbyname() calls and susbstituted a single call to get_links_list().
I’ve adjusted the CSS to display the nested unordered lists from the call to display like the h4/rightsidesection combination we had before.
I’ve added a page template for pages like this one with slightly different layout for the content. There are some minor bug fixes on the pages and I’ve added the the fix for aligned or floated images not displaying in Internet Explorer.
Hello,
I just wanted to let you know that I use your Journalized Sand template. After looking at almost 100 templates, yours was by far my favorite.
Thank you for all the work.
John
Hi John,
Thanks for your compliments. I’m glad you like it.
Mike
I too looked at lots of templates and decided on journalized sand in the end.
Just as an interesting side note, I was on the ABC 10:00 pm news here in Utah the other day specifically for my blog and there was a phatty shot of my blog right there with your template on it.
I could probably post the news story onto my blog if you wanted to see your template on TV.
Thanks for the good work.
I wanted to make the same comment. This is the best template by far. I was looking for the ‘Donate Here’ button. You need one of those!
I was hoping somebody could please help me. I am trying to wrap the text arround my images, but when I do, the images are gone in IE, and I have been trying all sorts of things.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Do I need to update all the pages? I have added some items to the left and right template. Is the style.css enough to fix the bugs?
Thanks,
Steve
http://www.GeekTavern.com
Well I started with your theme Mike, but it has been heavily modified. Thank you for the start and your themes were by far my favorite. I will download your new template and check out the changes.
BTW the comment box is still extended way outside the content box.
Brian,
The search box width should now be controlled with the new stylesheet.
Steve,
I’ve added a description of the main changes above.
Ok, I guess I just suck at CSS. Could somebody please assiste me.
I trying to have the text wrap arround my images, left or right, does not matter.
It seems to look great in FireFox, but IE does not even display the images.
What am I doing wrong??
Here is the URL I am testing with.

Steve,
If you have the newest stylesheet (version 1.0.2) that problem is fixed. The stylesheet should have the following rule at line 195
/* this fixes an IE bug with aligned or floated images */
.storyContent img {
position:relative;
}
IE (and Mozilla for that matter) can be a bit naughty about cacheing stylesheets so you might want to force a refresh (hold ctrl while clicking the refresh button).
Mike
Thank you Mike.
So I guess I must be doing something wrong. Please tell me how to wrap the text arround. When you look at this link: http://shopherenow.net/wordpress/ , you’ll see no picture in this story: That’s it, I am going back to preschool!
I addded “.left { float: left }” to your css, and added class=“left” in my img.
Thank you,
Steve
By the way, I just looked at the site http://www.jonasblog.com/ with 4 different machines. IE will NOT show the images. Before I switch templates, is there any way to fox that?
Thanks,
Steve
Steve,
Jonas’ blog is not using the latest style sheet.
Your blogs don’t have the correct style rule.
Please add
position:relative
to your .left rule and see if that works.
Mike
Thank you Mike, that seems to work now.
if only the image would not overlap the bottom now. I have to add a bunch of paragraph tags. Is there a css to solve that?
Thank you for all your help.

Hi Steve,
If you look at the code in index.php from the latest Journalized Sand theme. Round about line 39 through to line 55, there is code to display those previous and next links.
Mike
Thank you Mike.
I do have one more questions. I would like to create a ‘static’ page, but I would like to add the left & right column, and the header. I tried several things, but I am new to php.
Would you be so kind to point to the right direction please. Thank you,
Steve
Mike, by the way. I love the ‘Make Poverty history’ Please let me know how you did this, I would like to do the same on my site. Way cool!
Steve
Hi Steve,
The Make Poverty History white band comes from their site. Click the white band to go to the site. Click the ‘get involved’ menu, and look for the ‘support us online’ heading. Or else go to the banners page where there are lots more options to add to your website.
Mike
Steve,
about static pages, do you mean different to WordPress’ pages (like the google-hacks page on your site)?
If so, there is a plugin somewhere which allows you to include static html pages in your blog. Let me look…
Google… wordpress plugin to include static html pages click…
Click…
Click…
OK, I found include page plugin and EzStatic.
I’ve not tried either so experiment first.
Mike
Ok Mike, very cute. Yes, believe or not I was looking arround too. i guess let me be more detailed.
I have a page http://www.geektavern.com/digital-cameras.htm where I would like to have the left & right dynamic columns incorporated. maybe even the header. Due to the fact that I am not very good with php, i wasn’t able to do that.
And yes, i spend about 4 hours to try to make it work.
I would appreciate your input. I am sure it can be done with just a line of code.
By the way, did you get my request for the poverty link you have on top of your page. I didn’t want to look thru your code. (and I could not find it online).
Could you please tell me about that too?
Steve
http://www.geekTavern.com
Steve,
Sorry, too early on a Sunday morning!
But my point is valid though, I’m sure that you can use one of those plugins and just point it at your html page. I think that’s how they work.
But I also don’t quite understand why you don’t take the html of your digital cameras page andv paste it into a WP “Page”.
See comment number 28 above for the poverty link.
Mike
Mike, the script does not work within wp, that’s why I need to create a static page. Believe, not by choice.
Thank you for the poverty tip, I purchase 100 bands for my comapany, and can’t wait to ad the logo.
One more question.
I would like to give the user the option to change templates, but I added a bunch of boxes left and right. Is there a better way to do this? Is there a dynamic part I overlooked.
Anyway, have a good one.

Hi
I used your Journalized Sand template. I really like it alot. I looked at lots of templates
and yours was my favorite
Hi Mike. Love this theme, thanks for your work on it. I am having trouble getting the RSS feed to work though. Would you mind peeking at my site, letting me know what you think. I’m new to all of this!
Hi Carrie,
I’m glad you like the theme. I looked at your blog and the only thing I can think of is that it may be an issue with the version you are running. It is quite old now. You should update anyway as there have been security fixes.
I noticed that accessing the feed directly with http://www.carrieaddington.com/wp-feed.php does work, though http://www.carrieaddington.com/wp-rss2.php doesn’t.
Try upgrading and see if that fixes it.
Mike
Hey Mike,
I love the theme! I just spent a couple hours tweaking it to my liking — you can see the results at my site. Thanks for doing such a great job.
Hi Dan,
I’m glad you like it! Thanks.
Your header image has it’s own border so you might want to consider removing the border from the headerblock div.
Mike
Hi Mike. I am a slack bu***r I know. I have been meaning to do this for weeks. Thank you so much for your theme “Journalized Sand”. I have found it to be very easy to modify (if you could call my messing about modifications) and I love the way it looks.
It may be co incidence but since I started useing it my traffic has more than tripled! I think the readers like it too.
Thanks a lot mate.

Patrick,
I’m glad you like it. It would be great if I really could claim to triple one’s traffic with my theme
Mike
Mike,
I’m using Journalized Sand, and love it!
But I cannot find the place to tweak the style sheet so that the comment box is fixed width. In IE, it flows into the right column. I even did a ‘view source’ on the css that you’re using right here.
The style sheet does not have “#commentform textarea” that so much of the help addresses. I’ve tried to apply some fixed widths to various elements of your css, but can’t get it to apply.
Thx.
Hi Commissar,
I’m glad you like the theme.
If you edit comments.php and change the HTML for the textarea (around line 91) and change the
style="width:98%"to bestyle="width:35em"that seems to fix it.Mike
Cool. Got it.
Thanks much.
Why doesn’t my right column look like the left? Each link section isn’t “seperating” into its own box, like it does on the left. I’m using IE to view.

Hi Mike —
Great template, by far the best after mucho searching.
Being a PHP/WordPress newbie, I do have a question:
Is there an easy way to reorder the link catagories on the right? I’d like them to flow as follows
Stuff (ID 3)
Blogroll (ID 1)
Lunatics (ID 2)
I’ve tried a few things with no success.
Any help is most appreciated!
Thanks again for the great template!
Brian
Brian,
unfortunately you can only specify the link category order by name or id neither of which will do.
The only other solution it to use wp_get_links(‘category=3′) three seperate times (with different ids) but you’ll also need to add in you own section headings.
Mike
Thanks Mike, I’ll continue to monkey with it.
HAve a good one–
Brian
Hi again Mike —
Is there an easy way to make the comments pop in a new window?
Thanks!
Brian
Hi Brian,
You need to add the following line to header.php just before the wp_head() line
<?php comments_popup_script(); ?>
This will make the normal comments link open the comments and form in a popup window.
The styling is a little off because WordPress uses the comments-popup.php file from the default theme.
I’ll have to start including a proper comments pop template in my theme.
Mike
Hi again Mike…
I added that line and the comments do pop now, but in an un-resizeable box and without my Smiley Javascript Buttons (V. 1.1)
Any ideas?
Thanks again for a great template and all your help!
Brian
Hi Brian,
As I mentioned the template for the popup comments comes from the default WordPress theme. I don’t think it’s quite up to date.
If you can wait a while, I’ll add a proper popup comment template to my theme.
As for the Smilies, I’m guessing you must have added some code to the normal comments template. You will have to do the same to a COPY of the default template in the Journalized theme folder. That is copy the comments-popup.php to the journalized folder before editing it.
Mike
Hi Mike!
I’ve got to tell you, I love your layout/theme. I used it and changed the colors around alot, but it was EXACTLY what I was looking for.
I was wondering if you could help me. The header area, where it displays the name of your blog (in my blog, its where the big bold /life/reviewed/ is), I want to replace that with an image, and I’ve spent the last 2 hours trying to figure it out. Any guidance you could give me would be great!
Hi Jessica
If you want to include an image in the header, you need to edit the file index.php in the wp-content/themes/journalized-sand/ folder. Round about line 8 that file has an h1 tag
<h1 id="header"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>change this to be
<h1 id="header"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><img src="/url/to/image.jpg" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" /></a></h1>modifying the url/to/image.jpg as appropriate.
If you want to keep the image in the theme folder you can use
<h1 id="header"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri() . '/image.jpg'; ?>" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" /></a></h1>
modifying the url/to/image.jpg as appropriate.
Each of the above lines of code should be on single line.
Mike
Thanks for the help mike,
unfortunately its still not working. I put the code you said to put in there, but when i right click on the red x and look at properties, I get “http://www.ladykildare.com/?http://www.ladykildare.com/logo.jpg?”
Ugh. This is what I have in my index.php in case you’re bored and wanna check it out:

Hi Jessica,
It looks like you got it sorted out. Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner.
Any more questions just ask.
Mike
Hye mike!
Thanks for the help, I got it working with your guidance. Now i’ve been pulling hair our because I can’t get the text to wrap around the image without the image disappearing underneath. If you go to my blog, you can see the result of it. Any help you could give, i’d love you for it. I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to figure this one out.
Jessica,
Do you mean where the lower part of the image is over the top of the next post?…
Wait… Did you just fix it?
I was looking at the CSS, to see if it was the latest version which should have the fix for this, then I refreshed the page and it is working ok now!
Mike
Mike,
Thanks for your help
I assumed I had the newest version of your css, because I got it from a wordpress site, but evidently I did not.
I used the new CSS, added the div clear fix, and voila! The only weird thing is, I have to use the div clear thing after my text, and not my image as per the instructions on a few websites.
But thank god it works! Thank you for all your help.

Hey Mike,
Thanks for this template — it’s exactly what I wanted (I used the blue one, but it was hard to figure out which I wanted more!)
Anyhow, I have a question — I’d like to create a “prototype” thing for where I work (full-time) that is password-protected so the world won’t see it — just me & my boss. Is it possible to keep what I have going & temporarily add a password-protected page or 2 onto it? or.…?
Thanks for anything you can tell me.
Leslie
Hi Leslie,
If you mark a post as private (you have to enable the Advanced Controls under Options->Writing, then only the owner of that post can see it.
What you could do is have a shared login between you and your boss and post under that login. Whenever you or your boss are logged in to your blog with that id, the post will be visible on the main page and in the admin.
Mike
Mike. First a sincere thank you for such a great theme. I’ve used it for my golf blog for some time now. My golf blog has become one of the top golf blogs out there.
Now some questions. When there isn’t much text in a post, but there is an image, the image can extend below the posts border. Has this been fixed?
Also, how hard would it be to change JS from a fluid layout with overlapping columns, to a fixed width? I’m considering doing fixed.
Once again, thank you.
Ok, here’s the link to see my blog with my modded JS theme: http://www.hookedongolfblog.com
Here is the image problem:
Hi Mediaguru,
I’m glad you like the theme. To resolve the overlapping images problem, you can add
clear:both;
to the .storyLinks rule
I’m not sure about changing it to be fixed width. I’ve never really tried.
I guess a starting point might be to look for the min-width rules and change them to be width. Also consider setting the width of the containing rap div.
Hope this helps,
Mike
Hi Mike,
The remnants of your theme will lay out more than a few sites I’m creating, so thanks. One thing I can’t solve is the difference between Firefox and IE in showing the top of the columns relative to the top of the headerblock. Either Firefox or IE is uneven, but they weren’t from the beginning. Something with the margins, padding, position…but where exactly did I stray from sanity?
Pathworker
OH MIKE!
I’ve been wanting to fix that image issue for 4 months! Thank you thenk you thank you. That is the last piece to my blog puzzle! Why does that rule (clear:both;) at that point fix the problem?
Ok, perhaps I can help YOU. I did manage to make my golf theme (aka green version of journalized sand) into a fixed theme. Mainly I wanted fixed so I didn’t have that image issue when it was resized… Anyway… Here’s basically what I did.
I used absolute positions for the colums and set the size for the center column as fixed and not variable.
Pingback: Girl on the Loose » Blog Archive » Worth the fight?
Hello,
thank you for this great theme. To better fit my needs I tried to add a small fourth column at the right side but failed miserable.
The fourth column was there, but all messed up. The headlines were displaced about 100 pixels to the right. Also the main center block didn’t resize, so my fourth column was displayed over the others.
As you can see I’m not very good at CSS stuff. Can you point me to the right direction?
This is our website for now.
Would like the banner picture to take up all of the banner area and show up on all the internal pages which at this time does not. as well as change this: jour·nal n. A personal record of occurrences, experiences, and reflections kept on a regular basis; a diary. With a gif picture as well as some other text on the other side.HELP ME MAN…PLEASE!
Hi Iron Dude!
To fix the header image you need to remove the padding from the #headerblock rule in the stylesheet.
To get it to work on individual pages too, you need to add the same image code into page.php
To change the quotes at the top of each column, you need to edit the leftcolumn.php and rightcolumn.php files.
All of these changes can be made through WordPress’ admin pages. Go to Presentation->Theme Editor.
Hope this helps,
Mike
Hey Mike the #headerblock trick worked like a charm as well as the page.php deal. Great Stuff.
Although the text in the left and right column wont change,I tried the theme editor and dreamweaver but no luck. which is no big deal. Is there a way to replace the text area with pics instead.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you for the theme.
I figured out almost everything I needed to figure out.
Is there a way to make the right side look like the left side with the links in there own boxes.
This would make it perfect.

Hi Mike,
Just a thanks too for a really great template. How and where would I insert a link to put an image above the title. I am not real familiar with php yet, I can replace something that is already there, but not sure if I need to wrap my image url with some code before and after it. Also would it go in the style sheet or the header.php?
Thanks
Laurie Meade
Hi Laurie,
Have a look at comment number 53 above for details about adding an image to the header block.
Mike
Mike,
Thanks for a fantastic theme, it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. The real icing on the cake would be if I could figure out how to get an image in the header.
I’ve perused all of the comments pertinent to doing this, and also studied the code on pages of others who were successful. I’ve spent hours trying different configurations, but to no avail.
I don’t know any php but I am meticulous, so I don’t think the problem is that I left out a character, etc. Re: comment number 53 above, I copied your code exactly and replaced ‘url’ with ‘http://www.mydomainname.com’ and replaced url/to/image.jpg with my image info, and tried using both a relative and absolute path. FYI, my image is stored under wp-images.
Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong? It’s a great theme even without this extra pizazz, but I must say I’ve been having fun tweaking it. Thanks!
Hi Dee,
You don’t replace the ‘url’ in the bloginfo(’url’) line. Leave that as is. Just replace the image url.
Let me know of how you get on.
Mike
Hey Mike,
Gosh, thanks for getting back to me. I followed your instructions (that’s probably something I would’ve known if I had any php experience, huh? Gotta add that to my to-do list).
Still not working, but there *is* movement. Now I’m at least getting a broken link, before the header box basically disappeared. Even though the code is broken, I left it up for you to look at. Maybe if you can actually see what I’m doing, you’ll be able to see what I’m doing wrong.
Don’t know if this is significant, but I left out the width/height in my image url. Tried both ways, neither worked, but I noticed that in my posts WordPress doesn’t seem to like it included for some reason.
Thanks!
Dee
Hi Dee,
I can see what is going wrong now. There are three issues.
The first is that your html has ‘Smart quotes’ in it. Which is to say fancy, typographically correct, quotation marks. Unfortunately HTML will only deal with the real thing in tags. I need to take the blame for that. :-O
WordPress has changed the real quotes I typed into the comment with fancy quotes. It normally does that unless you tell it not to. I forgot to tell it not to. If you copy and paste from comment 53 now, they should be correct.
The second issue is that the url in the ‘href’ part is still not correct. In your PHP code you should have exactly
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Not one bit of that needs to be replaced. WordPress will insert the real url of your blog, you don’t need to do it.
The final issue is that the path to your image isn’t correct, or the image is not in the place you think. The path you have is the same as for the Bush image in the sidebar, but there is no “smileydoglogo.gif” in that folder.
I hope this helps,
Mike
Mike,
You are a mensch! I’m happy to report Mission Accomplished.
Turns out that both WordPress *and* Dreamweaver were making slight changes to the code, so between them it was doomed to failure. Another odd thing was the fact that my image url wasn’t being recognized, even though it certainly appeared on my end that it was in the proper folder. Out of desperation I tried saving it as a jpg instead of a gif, and then it worked. I wish I understood why that made a difference, but I’ll take it.
I added the same code to my page.php file so the logo would appear on all my pages, and now I’m set. This is such a great theme, I can’t thank you enough!
Cheers,
Dee
Hi everyone,
I’m just having a small layout problem with images inside a table. In firefox everything displays as it should, but in IE the table is fine but the images drift over the left sidebar.

Hi David,
It looks like another variation of the IE bug encountered with floated images. If you add style=“position:relative” to your table tag, it fixes the problem.
Mike
Well that was simplicity in itself.
It worked a treat. ^.^
Many Thanks Mike.
Dear Mike,
Thanks for the great theme. One small problem. No matter what changes I make to style.css file, they don’t show up on my blog. I’ve tried both browsers and a forced refresh. Have you had this problem before?

Are you sure you are editing the correct style.css? Every theme has a file called style.css so you need to be sure you are changing the correct one.

Hi, I love this theme and have been using it for a little while now. As you can see I modified the colors a bit the other day although I’m not sure how thrilled I am with my changes.

#leftsideand#rightsidechange top from 20px to 160px, or something appropriate for the height of your header image.Then change the margin setting of
#headerblockto be something likemargin: 0 10px 20px 10pxAgain, adjust those figures to fit correctly with your header image.
I’m not quite sure what you mean by picture buttons under the banner, can you explain some more?
