Okay, not really. But I feel pretty darn good about myself. I finally figured out how to change headers by page. Want to see what I mean? Click on a few of the pages in the admin bar above. I may be a coding idiot, but I’m getting better.

Well, despite the new theme looking good on my local server (in both IE and Firefox), as soon as I uploaded it to this server….well you can see the problems. No background images showing up (though when you right click and view the background images, THEY’RE STILL THERE!), and the sidebar is totally fucked in IE (it shows up at the bottom of the left column!). So. I guess my first attempts at coding have failed entirely…Oh well, I’ll obviously keep on working until it’s solved.

Update-Problem is only with the index (i.e. main) page. So, I think I can fix it. [Crossing my fingers]

Update 2 - Mostly Fixed in Firefox, but FUCK IE with a FUCKING CHAINSAW. I HATE YOU INTERNET EXPLORER! WHY, OH WHY WON’T YOU UPGRADE YOUR CSS PARAMETERS? WHY MUST YOU PUNISH ME SO MUCH! DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND CODING IDIOTS LIKE ME ARE CLUELESS HOW TO APPEASE YOU?

Well, I’ve just about had it. I’ve been messing around for the whole night, trying to alter the template I’m using, more or less just trying to shift one column over to the left of the content. Luckily, I’ve been doing this on my local server, so you’ve not been deluged with the hellish mess I made of things during a lot of trial and error. Once I got the actual content to shift on the main page, I realized I needed to shift it on the comment page, the search result page and the archive page. What a pain.. Not to mention I had to change the background images to match the new positioning of everything!
Well, I’m almost done, and I’m finally starting to feel confident that it looks good. And it looks good in Internet Explorer (so fucking hard to do - damn css)! And yes, the guy who created this 3-column theme is working on a newer version that does all of this, but I wanted to try my hand at something like this and let’s face it, I’m an impatient fuck. Once I get all of my plugins ported over (so many of the ones I use require coding changes in the php files) and finish a few things, expect the new look. Of course, it’ll all become moot once K2 gets released and ported to a three-column style….
