This release incor­por­ates many of the fixes and changes sug­ges­ted by people try­ing the theme.

You can down­load the files from here: journalized-sand-theme-1.0.2.tar.gz (tar ball for unix or sim­ilar users) or journalized-sand-theme-1.0.2.zip (zip file for Win­dows users).

To install simply expand the archive on your local machine. You should have a dir­ect­ory called ‘journalized-sand’. Upload the dir­ect­ory and the files within it to your wp-content/themes folder on your server. Login to your blog’s admin­is­tra­tion pages and go to the Present­a­tion page. The new theme should be lis­ted there ready for you to select. If not check the per­mis­sions on your uploaded files.

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.

  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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,

  4. Steve,
    Thanks for the CD, I await its arrival. The new ver­sions have already been released. There is a down­load link on this page. I’ve added dir­ect links to each theme page in the left hand sidebar.

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. 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.

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. 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

  15. 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

  16. 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

  17. 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.

  18. 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!

  19. 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

  20. 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

  21. 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.

  22. 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.

  23. 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 be style="width:35em" that seems to fix it.

  25. 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

  26. 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

  27. 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

  28. 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

  29. 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

  30. 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!

  31. 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

  32. 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:

  33. 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.

  34. 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

  35. 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.

  36. 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.

  37. 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

  38. 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.

  39. 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

  40. 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

  41. 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.

  43. 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?

  44. 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!

  45. 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

  46. 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.

  47. 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.

  50. 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

  51. 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!

  52. 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

  53. 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

  54. 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

  55. 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.
    I cre­ated a test site with a fresh default install of wordpress and a new install of journ­al­ized sand 1.0.2. You can view the site here http://www.wptest.omoikitte.com/

    Any help would be really appre­ci­ated.
    Many Thanks
    David

  56. 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.

  57. 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?

  58. Eugene,
    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.

  59. 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. The most frus­trat­ing part was I changed the size and color without real­iz­ing it would change so much of the text on there…I thought was only for the title of posts.

  60. Hi Robin,
    I sent you this as an email too:

    You should be able to change the back­ground col­ours for the posts and header by chan­ging the back­ground col­ours for
    #headerblock
    .centreblock
    and
    .storyContent

    Hope this helps,
    Mike

  62. Hello, in the first place it wanted to request excuses by my deficient

    Eng­lish; I only speak Span­ish and as soon as I know few words in

    Eng­lish, reason why I must use the trans­lator of Google, and we know

    badly all that it trans­lates ;)

    When I found the Journ­al­ized I thought that it had found the per­fect sub­ject for my WordPress, since it was exactly what it was look­ing for. I installed the Journ­al­ized Sand since I liked plus the color tone and until today been very I have sat­is­fied. Days ago a friend settled the WordPress and I put the Journ­al­ized to him, evid­ently, although I used the Journ­al­ized Winter by that of not hav­ing blogs equal.

    I fin­ish giv­ing account of which the Winter has some­thing does not have the Sand, like is that in the win­dow of com­ment­ar­ies, under­neath the whole, they appear options to go to the entrance pre­vi­ous or fol­low­ing to which we were, and éso is some­thing that I would like to be able to put in the sub­ject that use, but non­en­counter the way. There is a form easy to do it?

    Please, you use a simple lan­guage so that it can under­stand it, thank you very much :)

  63. Hi Ummo,

    usted neces­ita tener la más nueva ver­sión. Con­sígala de la tapa de esta página. Fijará el problema.

    You need to have the latest ver­sion. Get it from the top of this page. It will fix the problem.

  64. Thank you very much, already I have unloaded it. The bad thing is that the one that I have more or less is trans­lated the Span­ish and I will have to make all the work again, but everything is by a good cause ;)
    Thanks again.

  65. Love the theme but I need some help.
    I’ve been tweak­ing the col­ors and I’m havng trouble fig­ur­ing out how to make the ENTIRE inside of the header/title box a solid color other then what it comes as default? Please help.

  67. I would like to exstend the ban­ner all the way across the top of the page. How would I do that.
    Also is there a way to add pic­ture but­tons under the ban­ner, Just won­der­ing on that one.
    Thanks
    See Ya

  68. Hi Iron Dude,
    You need to change the fol­low­ing style rules in style.css:
    In #leftside and #rightside change top from 20px to 160px, or some­thing appro­pri­ate for the height of your header image.
    Then change the mar­gin set­ting of #headerblock to be some­thing like margin: 0 10px 20px 10px
    Again, 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?

    Mike
