WordPress Experiments

I know I’m not normal ;) . I mean when I create a project that is powered by some software I don’t focus only on project itself but I’m also trying to learn as much as possible about software. I’ve realized there is no chance to make very good project without knowing how the software [...]

OK. This time we have a look at links in posts both when viewing on the main page and single post.
POSTS on main page

(click on image to zoom it out)

color of linked post title; add to style.css:
#content h2 a:link, #content h2 a:visited {
color: #xxx;
}
color of linked post author name; add to style.css
#content .post-info a:link, #content [...]

I’ve spent quite a lot of time customizing MistyLook Theme for myself and have to admit the greatest difficulty I had with links.
It’s because theme construction defines only three types of links (here with pieces of style.css ‘responsible’ for them):

links in top navigation tabs (#navigation ul li a; #navigation ul li a:hover, #navigation ul li [...]

Some time ago I discovered blog „Lorelle on WordPress”. Actually it wasn’t really accident since information on WordPress and blogging ‘stuff’ she provides is so accurate and useful that whatever term (concerning WP) you type into search engine -> one of results will point to her blog ;).
Anyway I noticed she has very original signature [...]

Such simple – hahaha ;) – question made me almost mad. I mean, I thought solving that problem would be piece of cake. I was wrong.
I tried to create different class’ or ID’s in style.css and then add tags to ‘Continue Reading…’ but either it gave no result or results weren’t as I expected (like [...]

Few days ago I tried to create captions. Unexpectedly it appeared to be more difficult then I thought ;). So below there are few solutions I created/found with examples :).
IMAGE and CAPTION in a TABLE
(inspired with this thread )
In code view I wrote:
<table style="text-align: left; width: 270px; float: left" border="0" class="">
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center; width: 270px" [...]

By default my Misty Look sidebar consisted of boxes in following order:
About
Archive
Categories
Pages
Links
Meta.
I just ‘redecorated’ my site and now I have only 3 pages so I don’t need a list of them in sidebar.
That was simple -> I removed code corresponding to pages from sidebar.php.
Then I reordered boxes to have them like this:
About
Categories
Links
Archives
Meta.
That also wasn’t difficult.
Steps started when [...]

I know that what I’m going to write now is rather obvious. But my memory despite of being good is short as well ;).
So just to have place I can check how I changed look of links in posts.
In .css file there is something like this (.css for MistyLook theme):
#content .entry a:link, #content .entry a:visited
{
[...]

I resolved problem of sections on the page. And sidebar dropping down. That was of course matter of HTML ;).
It should look like this:
<p>content of 1st section<br />
<!–nextpage–><br />
content of 2nd section</p>
<p><!–nextpage–></p>
<p>content of 3rd section</p>
<p><!–nextpage–></p>
<p>content of 4th section </p> and so on…
The first section shouldn’t end with < /p >. So simple that I couldn’t [...]

I need to test HEADERS.
There is many posts too long to be displayed as a one. I tried to divide them into pages using ‘page break’ but… then a sidebar drops down (strange -> only in the first and last page, never in the middle). So I found something called headings. We will see….
