Im still very much a novice with web design but can someone experienced send me a PM?

Thanks in advance!

Why does the title bar lose its link property when it wraps to the second line?

Keep in mind I am a web design newbie so try not to scorn me too hard

How can I fix this?

Apparently the side bar widgets dont work either. I dont know if its this theme or wordpress that just puts the default sidebar instead of the sections I want (pages, blogroll).


Oh and if anyone can point me to steps of how to run batches in photoshop Id appreciate it. All the pics in the photogallery I need to rename and resave for the web. Getting them up there was just a filler, now I need to go back and actually make it presentable/usable.

are you asking why the title "Master Choi’s Tae Kwon-Do" is linked to the home page, but the sub-title “A Black Belt is earned not purchased” is not linked?

Well, first off - I would suggest that this is the intended or expected behavior. The title is the name of the website, and it should link to the home page. The sub-title is just ancillary information, and should not be linked.

Technically, though, if you really want to change it, you just have to edit your header.php file. Find the line

<div class="description">“A Black Belt is earned not purchased”</div>

<div class="description"><a href="http://masterchoi.us/">“A Black Belt is earned not purchased”</a></div>

no Im asking why the links to the different pages wrap (look at the picture in my previous post) underneath, and lose the link property when doing so.

6/27/2008 11:01:02 AM

ok, i see.
first, in FF3 and IE6, the links on the 2nd line still do work properly as links, so I'm assuming you're asking why they don't look the same as the links on the first line.

in that case, it's because the background image on those links is actually one wide image that's only so high. you can see it here


your #menu CSS property uses that as a non-repeating background, so it just shows it once, regardless of if your page list overflows onto multiple lines.


As another general design note, though, I would suggest you find a way to re-work the pages and navigation so it all fits on one line. Maybe work on some kind of sub-page system, because again, it is generally bad design practice to have navigation menus arbitrarily flowing onto multiple lines

^^ Well they have no other place to go but wrap underneath. And the links still work fine for me...the appearance is just off.

I think the real question is why do you have so many menu items there that it's forced to wrap. you need to implement a menu/submenu setup where you will just have one line of menu items.

6/27/2008 11:21:09 AM

if you really want the navigation on 2 lines, though, make the following changes in your style.css

change:

#menu {
	float: left;
	width: 902px;
	background: url(images/menu.jpg) top center no-repeat;
	margin: 0 auto;
	height: 28px;
	text-align: center;
	padding: 0;
}

#menu {
	float: left;
	width: 902px;
	background: url(images/menu.jpg) top center repeat-y;
	margin: 0 auto;
	height: 56px;
	text-align: center;
	padding: 0;
}

actually I just deleted the #menu and it seems to look okay for now.

Ill work on a menu subsystem in the near future.


I knew it had to be something silly...


I can certainly aggregate some of the pages in to one, that may help out quite a bit.

Okay guys, why does safari 3 (3.1.1) now wrap the page links running across the top of the page (under the logo)?

Safari problem or theme/wordpress problem?

No reason for a nav menu to have 13 items, anyway.

6/30/2008 2:17:10 PM

ah, understood.

6/30/2008 2:24:25 PM

i agree with the other guys. 5-7 main menu items is the max. people cant remember beyond that

6/30/2008 5:23:06 PM

to start with you can have a menu item for adult programs, and one for childrens programs, and put a bunch of the current menu items under those two as sub menu items

ill help you with your website, if Master Choi will give me a Black Belt.
