John, You should check out the new version of Journalized Theme version 2.7, which addresses our question and completely replaces this version.

I’m using your theme which I find is really great (my wife uses it also) but I can’t remove the title which seems to show up and overwrite the banner image I have put up. I would really appreciate it if you could tell me how to delete the title (not from the options of course)so that the banner image is clear.

Thanks

Hi Mike,

I used this theme when I had my first blog and loved it.

Got out of blogging for 18 months and am deciding whether I want to do it again so looked for your them again.

I’ve tried dozens of them. None are as elegant and professional looking as yours (many trying to be too flashy.)

So the question is: will you be modifying this theme in order to allow widgets?

Mike,
great theme, ta. I’ve been using it for quite some time now, and I’ve finally got round to modifying it so that it integrates better with the title picture — it does look quite different, to be honest Have a look at my blog for details…

Maybe my CSS is just terrible, but for the life of me I can not find where there is some type of hidden padding in the header section. Even if you reduce the padding to 0px, there is still a fat empty space above and below the title. Any idea what the deal is there?

Joe,
You need to upgrade to the latest version of the theme (available above) to fix both 1 and 3. Be careful to save any changes you have made. You will have to re-apply them to the new version.
Item 2 is because the image is neither floated or aligned, which causes the IE problem you see in 1.

Hello Mike,

First of, thank you for Journalized Sand. I love the theme and am using it to chronicle my travels.

See: http://www.sprangleblog.com.

But I am having some problems that need advice. I hope I’m doing the right thing by describing three issues in one post.

1) Please look at this post in Internet Explorer — and then look at it in FireFox:

http://sprangleblog.com/?cat=9

Note that the thumbnail graphic does not appear in IE. Yet, the space is defined and when clicked on, the larger graphic displays on a new page.

Any idea how to fix this for IE, please?

2) Now please look at the blog home page — doesn’t matter which browser — and see the headshot thumbnail. It’s inserted using a plugin called Simple Pop Up. It works in both IE and FF, so it might be a way to deal with the above issue — however, I can’t control word wrap.

Any idea how to force that?

3) finally, I’ve installed a plugin called Custom Query String. It exerts control over the order in which posts are displayed (in this case, forcing chronological order rather than blog default “last — first”). It also limts how many posts of a catagory are displayed.

However — there is no previous or next navigation. Any idea how to show that?

If sending you server access will help, just ask.

Again, than you for an excellent theme.

Joe

Mike,

I just wanted to thank you–it’s a great theme and easy to modify–the thread here is great support.

I may be back for some advice, but just wanted to say thanks for the theme.
