@Mikael
You can delete the teaser text (assuming you mean the “about” text at right) by opening index.php and deleting these lines:
<!-- ABOUT BOX --><div class="box"><h6>About <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h6><p class="small"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?>.
<a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">Subscribe via RSS »</a></p>
</div>To switch between the two page templates (narrow and wide) select the PAGE TEMPLATE section on the right side of the WRITE PAGE page. Select WIDE PAGE.

Click on Presentation in WP Admin, open up index.php and delete this line:
<h2 class="quiet alignright"><em><?php the_excerpt(); ?></em></h2>January 11th, 2008 at 8:10 am
Hi
Ok thanks

Is there a page with documentation about how to manage this theme? For example, how do you define which text will be called out on the left? How do you assure that your images will be the right size and not end up being too big and “under” the boxes on the right?
Looks great in the screenshot, but when applied to my blog at http://corp.sonic.net/blog/, it kind of “breaks” it. =)
Thanks for tips!

First of all thanks for at great theme! And I might be missing something. But for some reason the comment link doesn’t work.
1) Do I really need to comment for the comment link to show up - seems like that’s the case in my installation …?
2) When I comment the link show up, but when i click it nothing happens (url: http://www.ncoa.dk/#comments). What am I missing?
Thanks a lot

Hi again
i have fixed it
January 13th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Great work - thanks a lot!
January 15th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
I’m using it and really like it. Thanks. the only problem I have is that when someone comes to the main page and clicks comments on the post which is showing it
takes you nowhere. The only way to get to comments is to click the title and go to the single post page, and some of my visitors don’t understand that when coming to the front page, they assume the comments don’t work.

One other thing when I click the links for categories, at the bottom of the post or in the category widget it doesn’t lead to categories just to a crazy page full of something , it leads to a page which does not list categories it just is a page with powered by Wordpress listed down the page.

@Dane: Images should be a maximum of 350px wide. The text at left is the post excerpt.
@All: To link directly to the meta data (categories, comments) from the front post, insert this:
<div class="meta"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>| Published in<?php the_category(', ');if($post->comment_count > 0)
{ echo ' | ';
if($post->comment_count > 1)
{ echo '<a href="#comments">'
. $post->comment_count . ' Comments</a>';
} else { echo '<a href="#comments">
1 Comment</a>'; } } edit_post_link('Edit', '
| ', ''); ?>
</div>@Cooper: You found the answer to your issue, right?

Hi, I’m using this template, but on Internet Explorer 6 I get an error:
“Error: ‘document.getElementById(…)’ is null or not an object
line 3 char 2 code o on
http://www.badtaste.it/badposter”
do you know why? is it a javascript error? I didn’t touch javascript…
thanks so much and compliments!

also If I wanted to ad banner advertisting, how would I go about doing this…
January 25th, 2008 at 12:00 am
hi. how do i put banner ads(random) instead of random images on the header??
thank you and btw, great minimalist design.

Please explain in more detail where to place the code listed above for the meta data. You said to place it in the code for the “front post.” What does that mean? Does that mean it goes in the index file? Where?
Also, I have searched and searched the code, but can’t find where the yellow is assigned to italic text. Please tell me where to find it as I want to eliminate it.
THANKS! Great theme!

Hello, I’ve downloaded the theme -and I think it’s absolutely gorgeous.
Although, I am having a few issues heres:
I removed the quoted text in the side of each post but now the text doesn’t scale completely -it’s alined to the left.
I would like the text to take all the space reserved for the post!
I’ve checked the index.php, but I haven’t found anything relevant to help me.
Thanks in advance for your support!
Mike.
