Great theme, very useful! I have a question, though:
On the homepage, the title “Home” and the author name cannot be styled – I’ve tried custom css, I’ve changed the theme’s functions.php file, and I’m beginning to think the style is being created on the fly.
Using Aardvark in Firefox, there is a style added that isn’t a part of the source code.
which is what it is in the parent file.
What gives? How do I get this styled to the right color?
That\’s way more clveer than I was expecting. Thanks!
Corrections:
<a class=”single-content-h3″ rel=”bookmark” href=”http://stonebridge.mapsedgemedia.com/” style=”color: rgb(204, 204, 0)”>
instead of
<a class=”single-content-h3″ rel=”bookmark” href=”http://stonebridge.mapsedgemedia.com/”>
this template is one of the best I ever use.
Upgrading the theme, I’ve lost the code of google analytics. Where have I to put it?
Grat theme, however!

This cannot have effect as a matter of fact, that is what I suppose.
I am using Calotrpis 1.5.2. When I choose three or four column excerpt for Front Page the last column is incomplete, I mean there is a gap of one / two posts in the last column. There is no gap when I choose five column. I think this is something to do with the no. of excerpts appearing in the Frontpage which by default is 10. Can this be changed to remove the blank spaces if I choose three or four cloumn excerpts? I look forward to some help.
I love this theme for its various features and look. However, the theme’s forum is not working. Is this theme presently alive and kicking?

Nobleking, I had exactly the same problem but it is easy to fix by yourself! I think you should try to experiment with the widht of the whole site. You can change it in Calotropis Theme Option -> Layout -> Dimensions. Just use another value of px and check how it looks like. Eventually you can try to change size of thumbnails. It is something WE can control – not something that works fully automatically. That is why sometimes we have to fit all those settings.
I have installed the Calotropis theme and wanted to find out how to edit the css to change colors of menus, fonts and background colors. Do you know what i need to do? I looked in the cdd and do not see any styles in it to edit.
thank you

I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your site. It’s a very easy on the
eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to
come here and visit more often. Did you hire out
a designer to create your theme? Excellent work!
I do consider all of the ideas you’ve introduced for your post. They are really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are very short for beginners. May you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
The calotropis theme is excellent. I use it on a number of sites to promote affiliate products and it converts really well. Nice clean layout and design.
I never imagined how much information you could find on the internet on this!
Thank you for making it simple to understand

So my question. How do I change the color in de navigation bar en sidebar?
Please help me!

Posted on Great blog! Many homeowners are unwraae of the significant impact air leaks can have on the energy efficiency of their home. A skilled contractor or educated homeowner can save 10-20% by sealing air drafts by windows, doors, pipes and vents! A great sealant is one that is Eco-friendly, clean to apply and provides a long-lasting seal.

Hey there this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs
use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
More people are going with classier fixtures and accessories in their bathrooms now than ever before. Your own bathroom should be a mini retreat and be equipped to give you both comfort and privacy. You want your bathroom to always be clean but even more than that, germ free. As a married man, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the majority of women consider the comfort of the bathroom as important as the bedroom which may explain why homes being built today have master bathrooms rival the size of bedrooms.*
