The 2010 theme for WordPress is stylish, customizable, simple, and readable — make it yours with a
custom menu, header image, and background. Twenty Ten supports six widgetized areas (two in the
sidebar, four in the footer) and featured images (thumbnails for gallery posts and custom header
images for posts and pages). It includes stylesheets for print and the admin Visual Editor, special
styles for posts in the “Asides” and “Gallery” categories, and has an optional one-column page
template that removes the sidebar. You can check Twenty Ten Theme Demo
(https://twentytendemo.wordpress.com/).

Hi Solveig

Just finished reading your problem.

What You have told you have moved to your own domain.

What I know when you will moved to your own domain you will lost your previous stats as
you are not on wp.com server

I am using WP.com self hosted blog, and I am using Roytanck.com flash based flickr gallery in
my site, but as you are using own hosting so you can try for

Lightbox Gallery
NextGEN Gallery
PhotoSmash Galleries etc

Hope these galleries will help you.

To put your google adsense in place of Header Image of Twenty Ten Theme, try the following
steps

1 1. Create a <d
div id="add"> just under <d
div id="site-description">
2
3 2. <d
div id="add"> Your google code </d
div>

3. Modify your CSS as below

#branding #add {
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
border-top: 4px solid #000000;
display: block;
float: left;
width:940px;
height:195px;
}

** To make your whole twenty ten theme wider, try the followings

Note: other portion of your site may need to be changed to cope with the following changes in
width

#access .menu-header, div.menu, #colophon, #branding, #main, #wrapper {


margin: 0 auto;
width: 1024px;
}

Hi I am trying to disable or remove the comments boxes from my static pages in this theme but
havent been able to. Some site say its a simple setting but i can not locate it. If you could give any
feedback to that specific issue it would be greatly appreciated. For example, on my about page:
http://www.anythinggoespodcast.com/about/
I dont see any reason to have a comments box. How should i go about removing it? If i need to
change the text details in the pages’ scripts please let me know where to modify and with whay
verbiage, as well as if anything needs to be removed. Thanks, if you can comment on this.

Hi Dennis

If you want to disable / hide comments you can do it easily by modifying the CSS also, Here
is the code

#comments {
clear: both;
display: none;
}

Feel free to let me know if you face any type of problem.

I know this is all about CSS changes but a simpler way to do this is to use the admin.

Go to your page within admin and edit it. Click on screen options (towards the top on the
right) and tick the discussions tick box. Then scroll down on the page and untick allow
comments.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the solution you give.

Do you think the solution you provided is applicable for every wordpress theme?

Actually I did not get “Discussion Tick box” in “Screen Option” in the “Theme
Enterprise” which I am using.

Any Idea?

I looked for the options Allaboutbasic mentioned, i dont have them on my theme “twenty ten”.

As far as what Om suggested, I tried placing the text in the script but cant seem to get it right. I
keep getting a syntax error when i include

#comments {
clear: both;
display: none;
}
anywhere I try to place it, i get the same error. It sometimes mentions a line where the error

occured but thats it. Could you be more specific as to where the text needs to be inserted and if it
has to be placed in more than 1 place as I have .php files for multiple things on my page (i.e.
archives, header, footer, etc).
Thanks for your input so far.

FYI. I found a different way to solve this issue. There is a plug in called “No Comments On
Pages” that simply disables comments on all pages once activated. I installed it and activated it
and since I want no comments on my site at all, it works perfectly.

Thanks for the help anyway. Hopefully this update will help someone else.

Hi dennis

Thanks for the solution You have provided.

Actually Dennis, I am using and Mentioned “Theme Enterprise” not “Twenty Ten” . I didn’t
get the “Discussion Tick Box” in my present theme. Thats why i mentioned the solution
provided by Mytex may not be applicable for other themes.

Not sure where you have placed the CSS code I have provided to you.

Would you mind to paste/ Replace (#comments portion) the CSS code in “Appearance -> Edit
CSS “?

I do really appreciate your solutions and comments.

Hi, I have a basic twentyten theme on my blog at http://www.simonmcnorton.com.

I want to display comments on each post on my home page in the same way that comments are
displayed on single pages. What changes do I need to make to do this?

Thanks

Dear Simon

Thanks for visiting my blog and comments.

Simon, I didn’t get any option by which you can display comments on each post as on your
home page. Actually I am using WordPress Self Hosted Blogging Platform thats why I am
unable to give you a solution by installing Additional Plugins for WordPress which will meet
your demand.

I hope you will search (google) and get additional Plugins for wordpress and by installing that
plugins you will be able to display comments on each post on your home page of Twenty Ten
Theme.

Also I will Appreciate, If you get the solution and Let us know How you solved this
problem(by installing plugins or any other way) by replying through commets.

Eagerly Waiting for your Solutions.

Regards
Om Prakash Chowdhury

What I’m trying to do is on my main page with all my posts is have the picture from the post to
the left and then first few sentences of the post after it. Just like how this site has it.

Dear James,

You can do it easily.

When writing your blog, upload/add your favorite image by “Left” align.
And..To use “Read More” Just use the option “Insert More Tag” of your blog Visual editor.

Or You can use the following code in the HTML editor.

as I am using WordPress self hosted blog, so i don’t have access to the PHP code and to install

THANK YOU so very much for all of the helpful information you have here. I have used several
of these ideas to improve my blog.

Is there anyway to change the actual size of an image to upload? I wish to use an image, currently
only partly showing in my header. Changing the height of the header only stretches the image.

Your actual image is cropped to 940 × 198

As you are using WordPress.com self hosted blog so you can’t change the main html code.

So, i think it would better for you to manage your full header image in 940×198 px

Hi Rian

Current Size of your right sidebar is 300px…. if you want to make it narrower change the
width in the code below

#primary, #secondary {
display: block;
overflow-x: visible;
overflow-y: visible;
width: 300px;
}

Also If you want to make your Content Column wider..try it (by changing your right side bar
250px)

#content, #content input, #content textarea {


color: #333333;
width: 667px;
}

Please let me know it works for you or not

If you want to replace the word “Posted In” to “Category” you have to modify it from
Header.php (Not sure ..need to check though).
Please let me know the CSS works for you or not

Actually mitchell kanashkevich used image instead of Text..thats why it is quite tough to
find out what font he used actually in his text.

for your next question…


You want to modify your menu suppose “Gallery” so that if you click in the Gallery menu
it will open your photoshelter or flickr gallery..???? is my understanding right?

try with these
#site-title a {

font-family: irisUPC;
font-weight: normal;
text-decoration: none;
}

but..it would better for you to use Image as header text in you Twenty Ten theme…because…if
any of your blog visitor doesn’t have IrisUPC font installed in his pc then it may happen that
he will be unable to see your header text perfcectly.

It will be highly motivative for me if you pay me…i do appreciate it… do you prefer paypal?

URL means Address…. You have to prepare a small image called favicon to show it in the
addressbar…there are several website which offers free favicon icon generator. favicon is
actually a 16×16 or 32×32 px small image.
So, you prepare a favicon icon….upload it…and give me the address…..

Also send me the header.php file so that i could past the code perfectly in it .

To add favicon icon in your wordpress blog you have to modify the header.php and need
to add the following code

U have to change the URL of your favicon icon..

1 <l
link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://s.wordpress.org/favicon.ico
2 <l
link rel="icon" href="http://s.wordpress.org/favicon.ico" type

Hi,

How can I add an external link to my photo caption text on Twentyten?

I’ve tried wrapping the entire caption code between the link code. Ex: , but this makes the photo a
link also, whereas I only want to link from the caption text.

I’ve also tried using the html view, highlighting the caption text, and toggling the LINK button,
but this doesn’t work either since it just cancels out the link.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi – thanks so much for the info on this page, it’s been really helpful to me as a beginner!

I have a couple of questions and I was wondering if you could please help? My blog theme is
twenty ten at WP.

1. I’d like to use CSS to remove the link from the date under the blog posts so that the text remains
but the link disappears (I’ve already got rid of the ‘posted on’ and the ‘posted by [author]’ text.

2. I’ve deleted the ‘categories’ and ‘tags’ lists at the bottom of the posts on the homepage but they
are still there when you view the post in the archives – do you know the CSS code to remove
them?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Elly

Actually as you are using wordpress.com self hosted blog (me too also) we can’t change the
HTML code to remove the hyperlink as you mentioned in your 1st question..but you can try
this one..to remove the underline from the Date field in Twenty Ten theme. Just paste this at
the bottom of your style.css

.entry-meta a:link {
text-decoration: none;
}

2. About Categories and Tag lise from the bottom of the posts……. Would you mind to try
this?

.entry-utility {
display: none;
}

Please Let me know this code works or not…..

Thanks again.

Thank you for the code you suggested. The first one works perfectly, except that it only changes
the entry-meta on the first post on my homepage, and all the rest are still the same – do you know
how to make all the rest of them non-underlined also please? Here’s a link to the blog, so you can
see what I mean, thank you:
http://caribbeanlivingblog.com/

The second code won’t work I don’t think, as I’d like to keep the comments option there. To
remove the tags and categories from the homepage I used:

.cat-links {
display:none;
}

.tag-links {
display:none;
}

So I guess I just need to add something to these to make sure they are also removed in the
archived posts, I just don’t know what it is I need to add!

Thanks once again for the help, much appreciated!

Hi Elly…
Yes.. i checked your other pages..and found the underline is showing….not sure it is hard
coded or not…. i will check it more…
Your site is too loaded that it takes time to load every page… which is not good for SEO…
another thing
The second code which i have provided you…is for the tags/categories… not for comments…

.entry-utility {
display: none;
}

also..can u give me the link of any post of your archive page? it would better to mention
precisely..

thanks again.

http://caribbeanlivingblog.com/2011/03/15/colourways-of-india-part-2/

It’s strange, on some posts on the homepage the underline is showing, but on some it’s not
showing.

I tried the second code you sent over, but unfortunately it also removes the ‘Leave a
comment’ text from the entry-utility area, as well as the tags and categories. I want to keep
that text there.

unfortunately (on my blog anyway!).

Thanks though, the main issue was the underlining, I think I can live with the tags in my
archives!

Hi. How can I reduce the padding between my Page Title/Entry Title and the share buttons
underneath it? I’d also like to tighten the space between the share buttons and the the next line of
text that appears on each of my pages and posts. (I think these three lines: title, buttons, and first
line of text for page/post are taking up way too much vertical space.) DiggDigg doesn’t seem to
have any settings for this and I’ve tried to write my own code (like you have above) to paste as a
snippet into Weaver. That hasn’t worked yet and I am really only guessing with code. Do you
have any ideas? (These comments are about the website I list below with my signature.)Thank

Hi, Om.

I tried this code and the spacing between the buttons was better, but they still were not
perfectly aligned. After searching plugins, I discovered “Easy Buttons” and installed that
plugin. I like it much better since it doesn’t take up space on the pages of my site. Instead,
the buttons appear on the far right-hand side of the screen.

Thank you for everything. You’ve been a big help!

/*font-family: Georgia,”Times New Roman”,Times,serif;*/

Hi, Om.

You were kind enough to help me with social media buttons last week. I wonder if you can work
your wonders on my latest issue…

In my sidebar, I have two post categories: tools & appliances and blog. I also have two link
categories: product reviews and reference. I am using the avh extended categories plugin to show
these two separate post categories and so far, that is working well.

Here is my question, is there a way to have my sidebar appear in this order: tools & appliances,
product reviews, blog, and reference? I don’t see a way to insert my product review links between
two post categories.

My website is the one in my signature below and I’d appreciate any advice you have…Best

If your plugins doesn’t facilitate to order them according to user’s requirement then you can

So, Without checking the functionality..i can’t answer that….

I’m facing below issues, can you please help me on this. Thanks in advance.
1. I reduced spacing between menu and blog post by modifying below code
#main {

overflow: hidden;
padding: 20px 0 0 0; // originally it was 40 px
}
This is working fine

but when clicked on blog post it still shows wider gap between menu and post, which part of the
css code need to be modified to reduce the gap?

Hi,

For Problem 1 try this

.paged #nav-above, .single #nav-above {


display: none;
}

Problem 2:

would you mind to try this

#content p, #content ul, #content ol, #content dd, #content pre, #content hr {
font-family: verdana;
margin-bottom: 24px;
}

Please let me know it works or not..

Also.. please use your own name in the comments box…

Thanks again Om! post content font is also working fine. I’m able to add line below menu
bar but would like to add one more 4px line below that; also there is white space on both
the sides of menu and footer, how to fill that?

It might to difficult to setup time for the chat but you can mail me on the email associated
with this comment.

Thanks you very much for all your kind support.

Hi Lisa….

For the gap/space try the following code . in my previous response the answer was not
full….

#wrapper {
-moz-background-clip: border;
-moz-background-origin: padding;
-moz-background-size: auto auto;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
background-image: none;
background-position: 0 0;
background-repeat: repeat;
margin-top: 0;
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
padding-top: 0;
}

#access .menu-header, div.menu {


font-size: 13px;
margin-left: 0;
width: 928px;
}

Also… for the additional 4px line

It needs to modify the php files to add this…thats why i asked you for the skype..

Regards
Om

Thanks Om, sorry for late reply. both the tips works but how to make width of main area to
980px so that it will match with the main sites pages. I tried changing at below place but
width increases but menu line remains same, I’m also not sure at how many other places I
need to take care of widths, like menu, sidebar etc.
#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 940px; ///changed to 980px
}

regarding 4 px line below menu bar can you please send me a mail or just explain in which
php file I need to add hr tag.

Thanks a lot for helping me out.

Hi Om, sorry, I never used skype. for chat normally I use gmail chat, we can sync up there.

I mentioned about the width of the blog to 980px, I already did this change, by modifying
below line
#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 940px; ///changed to 980px
}

you can see on my blog but would like to know if there are any other places where I need to
modify widths like, menu, sidebar etc because of this change.

The line below menu bar is not extended till end, how to extend it till end?

also I would like to have padding of 10px (white space) before “Ailments” on menu bar when
we do mouse over. How to fix this?

Thanks,

Hi Om, I modified my blog using your helpful instructions but I’m hoping you can me modify it a
little more. I would like my wordpress blog (http://www.hoganwood.com/blog/) to have the
same header and look as other pages on my website (http://www.hoganwood.com
/ourdryingracks.html).

I have tried using a header which incorporates “Hogan Wood Drying Racks and A simple way to
reduce your footprint” with the background image but the background image in the header and
the “real” background image don’t line up so it doesn’t look good.

The only way I can think to solve this is to change the opacity of the header so the background
image is visible. Then upload a header image with “Hogan Wood Drying Racks and A simple
way to reduce your footprint” and my logo. I have tried this but the background of the header is
white.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,

Miles

How can I edit the CSS in the Twenty Ten theme so that when I format text in my blog posts to

You need to paste the code at the bottom of style.css..but it would better if you cleared me
which H1 or H2 you want to change.. as the code i am giving you may not work if it it
overriding by other code.

Do you mean you’re not sure what text I’d like to change? On my posts, the first paragraph is
formatted as a H3 tag (you will see text is big). The last paragraph is formatted as a H2 tag (text is
really big). I’d like these tagged paragraphs to appear in the same font size as the body of the
post. I’m obviously using the H2/H3 tags to improve SEO. Sorry if I’m making this confusing!

Hi Im hoping you can help me. I am a complete amateur at coding so I hope you can answer
these questions.

The first the I need help with is how to have more space at the top of my header so that I can put
advertisements there.

The second thing is how do I make my sidebar bigger so that I can fit more content such as ads
and various plugins?

The third thing is how do I change the color and font of my post titles. Currently the titles are in
default black and the same default font. I want them in red and a better font!

Thanks so much for your help because I need it!

Hi Kasey,

Here I have tried to answer your questions…..

1. You can manage more space at the top of your site header by modifying the php file
(header.php).
2. Paste the following code at the bottom of style.css to make your sidebar little bit bigger.. (pls
check it and let me know..)

#primary, #secondary {
float: right;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: hidden;
width: 240px;
}

3. To change your Post Title font color, font type and others try the following code..

.entry-title a:link, .entry-title a:visited {


color: red;
font-family: times New Roman;
font-size: 1.2em;
text-decoration: none;
}

Please let me know if they are Ok for you or not..

something else other than black and am also trying to figure out how to get rid of that meta and

Ok I have been dabbling with it for a little bit, but am not sure how to change the blog
background from grey to white? I previously deleted all the sidebar.php files but then put them
back in to see if that would make a difference, but it hasnt. I previously changed the blog
background color to grey, but now want to change it to white or something else.

HI Daniel Labelle,
You can remove the black border which is showing at the top of your header image in Twenty
Ten theme… Just paste the following code at the bottom of your style.css

#branding img {
border-bottom: medium none;
border-top: medium none;
clear: both;
display: block;
}

Also, If you want to remove the gap at the top of your site paste the following code

.widget-area select {
color: grey;
}
.widget-area select {
background-color: red;
}

My other question was about small, square, looking down arrow button right next to
“Select month” I’m not sure how else to describe it I would like to change it to the
custom color if possible.

Also I was wondering if it would be possible to make the blue highlight color on the drop
down menu change to custom color?

Wow, great info! Thanks!

I was looking for a way how to change the font color in my blog post headings and came across
your tips. I did apply what you wrote under “Page Title/Entry Title font color” and it did work,
well: partially. The strange things is that the entry title color was only changed on the first page,
where only the first part of the blog post is displayed. When I click an entry title to see the full
post, the heading is again black…

Any answer??

Sure, sorry

When I write a blog post sometimes I highlight parts of the text by bolding it. I would like
to appear all bold text automatically in a certain color, in each article I write. So I was
wondering if it is possible to set a default for that somewhere in the style sheet, so that I
don’t have to adjust the color of bolded text manually all the time.

Does that make my question better understandable?

By the way: I am going through your list, trying to find where I can adjust ALL fonts in

instance where font family comes up in the CSS? The thing is that in the twenty eleven tips
you mention ‘font family’ but I can nowhere find that attribute in the twenty eleven style
sheet…

The issue is: I can’t find any ‘font family’ in the style sheet of twenty ELEVEN (sorry, I
know, this should better go under your twenty eleven post not under this twenty TEN
post)… I looked for the body attribute and found some, but not in connection with the font
family attribute. Even when I look only for the term font family I get an error message.
Strange. So I can’t change the font.

Regarding the site: yes, it’s indeed new. I am working on it now. As a different example
you can look at my other (German speaking) blog where I want to apply the same settings
regarding bolded text: http://www.davidaltmann.com/wettbewerbsbeobachtung-und-

Hi David,
Just paste the code

body {
font-family: verdana;
}

at the bottom of theme’s (either it is twenty eleven or twenty ten ) style sheet (style.css)
and save it… the body font should change..

Also,

if you want to change the bolded text (dont use your manual change) paste the following
code at the bottom of style.css and check

strong
{
color:red;
}

Cool, Om! Will try immediately, but: when you say ‘bottom’ you mean at the very very
end, meaning after the very last }

Right?

Right David.. the code will go at the very bottom of style.css..

How does the color code #0066CC have to be applied as a color name? In your example
above you write ‘red’ but how is #0066CC called? Blue? Or can I still use the color code?

So many questions, but also so many great expert advise from you

there is a plugins called “No comments on pages” which will remove comments section from

You can try that..

When you’re back: is there a way to significantly decrease the empty space between the
tagline and the header at the very top?? This space is so big (at least in twenty ten and
twenty eleven) that it moves the content unnecessarily lower. I have already applied what
you wrote at the twenty eleven article about the blank space above the site title.

ALLABOUTBASIC says:

Hi David,
if you want to remove the empty space between your site description and top image in
twenty eleven theme try the following code..

#site-description {
margin: 0 270px 1.65625em 0;
}

Hi Om

Thanks for the additional tip, so far everything worked out just fine

I came across another issue: I am tryingto create a blog post that contains more then 60.000
words (it’s a very long table with words and numbers). I saved the text also in a rtf file and
I see therefore that is has a bit less than 1MB in size. Well, when I copy the text into the WP
post and want to do a preview, I get the following error message:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 933160
bytes) in /home/XXXXXX/public_html/wp-includes/post.php on line 2554 (I exchanged
some info with XXXXX here). Any idea on how to solve this?

A second question would be: is it possible to link within this post? I mean: since the info is
very wide spread, I would like ot give the reader the option of a list at the very beginning
where with a click the reader will be automatically jump down to the spot s/he wants to
be, in order to avoid excessive scrolling.

Regards!
David

Hi Om

In the meantime the memory issues is solved. I contacted my hosting company and they
adjusted the memory in the php.ini file.

I am facing another serious challenge now: since the post I want to publish is very long
(70.000 words), the post remains blank after saving it. I have tried to save it as post and as a
page but the result stays always the same: a blank page…. I have tried splitting it up into
pieces, which works, but it’s just a second option and I’d prefer to publish the whole thing
instead of 10 different pieces. Is there any plugin or other solution about this? I have tried it
with twenty eleven as well as another theme (clear light blue), always the same issue
though.

David

as you can see, I changed theme because of this issue, because if I have to split the post up
into different chapters then I need a theme that allows for sub-pages, which twenty eleven
doesn’t offer.

THERMAIKOS1977 says:

Hi Om

Thanks so much for all your support! Indeed there must have been a certain character or
command that WordPress didn’t like. I didn’t find out what exactly but that’s not so
important because in the end I was able to filter out the part that disturbed WordPress, so
that I am online now with my list: http://kohlenhydrate-tabellen.com/kohlenhydrate-
tabellen/

The only strange thing now is that when I want to do adjustments to that list is that I have
to work in the html view because if I choose the visual view then the whole tables get
messed up… well, I guess that’s the price I have to pay for being allowed to reuse this table
from a university and thus not having to collect all the data by myself…

One question for the time being: as you can see, the font is not Verdana. What code would I
have to enter in the html view of this page in order to adjust the font of all tables to
Verdana? I did adjust that in the style sheet but somehow this is overridden by the font of
the table.

Regards from Greece!

Hi David,
Good Morning..
Yes..you are right.. there is some html characters which may cause wordpress not to show
Posts or pages …

To change your table’s font you can try the css/html of the following html tag

” pre ” which is used to show your page’s tabular view..

Thank you so much for all of the info here. It has been really helpful. But I still have a problem,
actually two problems within the 2011 theme.
First, i have replaced my home page with a splash page (with a .swf file). I have a function time
that sends the index page to the first page of the site, home. Now having said that:
I also replaced the site title with an logo image and now it is no longer clickable to return to the
home page. And now that the index is actually a splash page when a visitor would click on the
featured image, it returns them to the splash page en lieu of the actual home page.
I hope that is not too confusing. I am working on a redo of this site for a class project and I am just
really stuck. I am familiar with php, but apparently not as familiar as I should be.
Here’s the site: ebisusushisd.com/v2. It’s a work in progress.

though I know a fair amount of html and css, I find the css sheet and template system unusually
complex. Anyway, I’d like to modify a couple of things. After each entry title there is entry-meta,
and after the post there is another entry-meta (or perhaps it’s called post-meta). Above the post is
this: Posted on December 31, 2012 by My Name.

1. I’d like to get rid of the words “Posted on.”


2. I’d like to increase the spacing between the date, the word ‘by,’ and My Name.
3. to change the font style and family of any of that text at will. Especially I’d like My Name to be
in italics.
As to the second set of meta info, I’d like to get rid of “Posted in (whatever category) and leave
only the “Leave a comment.”

Any chance we can do this?

It all worked, like magic, and even enabled me to modify a few other things. A couple
more things, for which I will of course buy you a coffee.
1. I was able to transform the author’s name font style (in entry-meta), but not its size. I’d
like to increase it by at least one point, say from 12 (which is what I think it is now) to 14.
2. I’d like to put a border just below the post content ( 2px width, 50%length, color=navy)
and before the entry-utility.
3. And finally a hard rule or border after the entry-utility to separate one post from
another.

Thanks in advance.

ALLABOUTBASIC says:

Hi William

1. To change Author meta’s font size of Twenty Ten Theme use this

.author a {
font-size: 15px !important;
}

2. If you want to use border Just bottom of Content and before Entry-Utility

.entry-content {
border-bottom: 2px solid navy !important;
border-color: navy;
margin-bottom: 9px;
padding-bottom: 6px;
}

3. I think if u use issue 2… issue 3 not necessary…

let me know what u think

WILLIAM LUSE says:
January 4, 2013 at 4:10 am
Mostly it’s worked quite well. Your last suggestion didn’t give me quite what I wanted
with the borders, but a little tweaking and a hard code in a couple of templates did the
trick. You can see what it looks like here: http://williamluse.net/Apologia

The main thing I haven’t been able to figure out is that the font size of the site-title on the
author archive page (accessed by clicking on my name at the top of the post) has fallen
from its normal 30px to about 15 px, and so have the entry titles for each post. They seem
to have been overridden by this:

.author a {
font-family:Times New Roman;
font-size:15px !important;
font-style: none;
text-decoration: none;

Twenty Ten Theme Documentation : Modification , Customizati... https://allaboutbasic.com/2011/02/03/theme-twenty-ten-css-upgr...
}

However, that’s how you fixed the font-size of the author’s name, and I certainly don’t
want to lose that. Under font-style I changed ‘italics’ to none, because that changed
everything on the author archive page to italics except for the post content. But the italics
weren’t that important anyway.

Everything seems to be ok on all the pages except that one, the author archives.

Thanks, Om. I don’t find any text matching this in the Widget area of the style.css page.
What I do find is this:

.widget-container {
word-wrap: break-word;
-webkit-hyphens: auto;
-moz-hyphens: auto;
hyphens: auto;
margin: 0 0 18px 0;
}
.widget-container .wp-caption img {

margin: auto;

I’m guessing that if I set the 18px setting in that to 0 it will have the same effect. Does that
sound right to you?

Thanks. David

This is such a wonderfully summary of useful css. Thanks! It did not answer one question for me.
How can I center the menu items in the menu bar under the header image. I have not had any
luck with it. Thanks..

The site is https://thoughtpaths.com I want the main menu bar items centered. The
custom css I have used elsewhere does not work for twenty-ten. Also, I would like to
reduce the height of the header image to about 175px while keeping the menu at the
bottom of the image as it is now.

I have figured out and the menu is now centered. However, if you can tell me how to
reduce the header image height I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Ok I have figured out how to center the menu. But if you can tell me how to reduce the
height of the header image it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

It worked but even though the image is exactly the right size the theme insists on cropping
it to a much narrower wide and then stretches and distorts it. Strange.
