Hi again! I have a new question. How do I make a link to another blogpost inside a new post? I want it to say “click here”, or the title of the blog post I am linking to…

@thess: When you write any post or page then you can add link easily from content editor. See this for more details http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

Thanks! I am not very technically, so I have a another question…

I tried to get a subscription-box on the front page of my blog, and I managed to get it there. One of my friends subscribed, but she didn´t get an email when I published a new post. Do you know how I can fix this?

@thess: I am not so sure which subscription you are talking about. I don’t think our theme has subscription feature. Site URL and more explanation please.

[thess]

Of course, I forgot! It is http://www.greenattraction.net. I want a box that says subscribe, and where people can write their email, so that when I am posting something new, they will get a mail….

I am also wondering about updates. I am offered to re-install version 3.5.1, but I read somewhere that if I update, I will loose all of my custom CCS. Is this correct? I don´t want to update if it messes up my blog…

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer!!

@thess: For adding subscription in sidebar. You need to install plugin and then add the widget. There is two option you can add Google Feedburner Subscription or install the Jetpack plugin and then add the subscription box. See this for jetpack option http://jetpack.me/support/subscriptions/

You custom css will not be overwritten when you update the theme or plugin.

Perfect, thanks! I am also wondering about another thing. Right now, the menu at the top of the slider is not symmetrical. I would like it to fill all of the free space, so it´s not a white, empty box to the right that doesn´t have a category. Do I make sense? Is this possible?

Again, thank you so much for your help!!

[thess]

And I would also like the headline and tagline to both move down, so they are a little closer to the slider. Do you have a CSS for this?

[Sakin]

@thess: Just add the following css in “Custom CSS” box in your Theme Options panel.
#header .social-search { margin: 0; }

[thess]

Thanks! And my other question about the menu?

[Sakin]

@thess: Which question can you tell me?

[thess]

[Sakin]

@thess: It’s because you have less item in then menu. Once you have more item then it will automatically fit in. But for now you can increase the padding to make it fill. Just add the following css in “Custom CSS” box in your Theme Options panel

#header #mainmenu ul li a { padding: 0 23px; }
#header #mainmenu ul li:last-child { border-right: none; }


[thess]

Perfect, just what I was looking for! Thank you so much!

Is there any way to make the side bar thinner?

And is it possible when adding a new post, to make the whole post appear on the front page, instead of it saying “continue reading”, while the older post remains the old way (with the “continue reading”)?

[Sakin]

@thess: To make the sidebar thinner. You can add the following “CSS” in Custom CSS box in Theme Options panel.
#sidebar.col4 { width: 250px; }

There is no option to make the front page as you have asked.

[thess]

Hey. I tried the sidebar CSS, but it didn´t work for me. I think I must be doing something wrong…

[Sakin]

@thess: Looks like you have added script above the css that is why it is not executing. Don’t add scripts in Custom CSS box.

[thess]

Oh, ok, I didn´t know. Thanks! My point in making the side bar thinner was to get the blog posts to appear wider, but that did not automatically happen. is it possible?

[Sakin]

@thess: The original size of the content is as below you can change that value.
#content.col8 { width: 642px; }
The original size of the sidebar is as below you can change that value.
#sidebar.col4 { width: 306px; }
