Hi,

The tread seems okay, adams right plus the fact that you are using CSS, you don’t need to create images, CSS offers a really tricky styles, like changing the background, size of fonts when you hover the link or you can just check out nifty navigation. there’s a lot of sources on the web just a little tweeking and your off and running.

Or better yet use the negative text indention.

.button a{
text-indent:-9999px;
}

I agree with Adam as well. And for complete semantics and SEO, may I suggest you replace the with the actual link text and hide them using the following CSS code block:

.button a { height: 0; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 51px; }

This way, those without browser CSS support and search engine crawlers still know where they are going.

I agree with adam. When I checked out kutitos.com and hovered onto the topnav, the background image was missing. One reason, it didn't preload. The better solution for this is by using sprites. You can check out my tutorial if you like.

Hello there. I’m sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question, but I can’t seem to click the FAQ or anything else except the home link, at the top (not even the searchbar). Anyway my question about your lovely them, dapit_hapon:
- I’m editing the dateline in the comments, but it still keeps making the first letter small in the date, like friday, monday, instead of Friday, Monday. I’m just a bit confused, just started fidling with CSS a few days ago, the code looks alright. I’ve seen examples and “l” is used to get the first letter big, but still it doesn’t work.
- Acutally it’s the same problem for archieves, the month start with a small letter.
- Final question, under the catagories, let’s say I have a catagory called “Example”, I would like it to say “Example (number of posts)”. So you can see how many posts, currently is in each catagory.

I hope you can help, I’m almost giving up lol, this is my 4. try at a different theme

actually, that’s the way i used to do hover images. but since the hover-state image isn’t displayed by default, most browsers won’t preload the image (unless you tell them to with javascript).

a better solution is to make a two-state image like this

and then use this CSS for your hover state:
#header h1 a:hover { background-position:-200px 0; }

that way, the image is already loaded by the time you mouse over it, and it’s trivial for the browser to change the background position.
