I like the fact that the menu in the header and links on the right hand nav looks lively. The color combination looks just about right.
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!
Thanks
