  1. As the title says, it is minimalist, so don't expect fancy graphics and a stunningly beautiful site.

    The theme is called 'MiniMoo', inspired by the use of Mootools 1.2

    There is ajax functionality for only paging. The only reason why not the entire theme is ajaxed is due to analytical purposes. Have a play with it and do not hesitate to let me know what you think:

  2. I have been facing so many problems with my HP printer for use on my Mac, I am thinking of getting a new one. I intend to use this printer at home for document printing, some scanning and copying, pretty much what you would do with a normal printer at home. I have set my eye on the Canon PIXMA MP145, but for some reason it is going around for sale by many locals in forums, that makes me wonder how good is it when so many people are trying to get rid of it. Do you guys have any recommendation? I am willing to take a look except at HP printers. It would be good if the printer does not cost more than USD 100.


  3. I am not sure whether I have fixed that problem. Take a look again.

    What I did was to set a class 'lightview' to my anchor and then reset the styles I used with this:

    #post-content a.lightview, #post-content a.lightview:hover { /* Reset link styling */	background: none;	border: none;	padding: 0;}

    Not sure if that is the 'correct' method of doing things.

    Is version 3 already out? I haven't received any updates.

  4. I have a problem in a site I am creating.

    I have styled my post content <a> links in the following way.

    #post-content a {	background-color: #bf6f3c;	color: #fff;	padding: 2px 2px 1px 2px;	border-bottom: 1px solid #7f4926;}#post-content a:hover {	color: #f5fac7;}

    And when I insert an link image like so: <a href=""><img src="" /></a>

    There seems to be an extra border inherited from my #post-content a style. I have attached the screenshot to show the problem.

    This was how my link image should look like:

    #post-content a img {	background-color: #bf6f3c;	padding: 5px;	border-bottom: 1px solid #7f4926;	border-right: 1px solid #7f4926;}

    Can anyone guide me as to how I can fix this problem?

  5. I am not able to access Fantastico at the moment as I am at work but here is a guideline you could use. I suppose you want to save your posts and comments, you got 2 options for that.1) Backup from WordPressGo to Manage and then Export the XML file which contains your information. When you are done installing WordPress on a new server, you can then import this XML files and you won't lose any of your information on your previous server. 2) Backup from FantasticoThis is definitely a powerful option, you can go to phpmyadmin and export your database, and then import the database into your new server. Of course with this method, you would not only recover your posts, comments but also your plugin settings and any extra tables created by them. Personally I like to backup from WordPress itself, I wouldn't mind tweaking the settings of the plugins again (not many anyway). But its your call and I hope I have helped you.


  6. The problem was when I hovered the menu, the border below jumps. I haven't got to fixing the PNG problem yet. Sorry about that, I have already fixed the problem. Now I have another problem and that my content div height is not extending to the bottom of my content. Could you take a look? I have already set my height to 100% on the body, html and #content.Same website as above.Thanks in advance.


  7. There is no way to tell. It will depend on the browser and its settings. As one em is the width of an 'm' in the current font, at the current font size, the margin would change depending on which font and font size the browser was using.

    So there is no way of setting a fixed layout which will look the same? I want to have a layout which will look the same in every browser. Let's say I am using Arial with font size: 100%, I do know that IE uses 12px for that, but I am not sure about Safari, FireFox and Opera.

  8. It was already released on the 29th of March, so posting it here doesn't really qualify as a FIR, does it? In anycase, I have already upgraded my blog to 2.5 and am currently in the midst of designing my theme which would make use of all the new features 2.5 will offer; namely the in built gravatars function. What are your thoughts about 2.5?I like the new admin colors, but getting round to posting still needs some adjusting too, just not used to the post specific information like categories, custom fields ... etc being dragged all the way down. Did I say saving the post or deleting it feels so unfamilar?On the good side, absolutely love the 1-click plugin update and the multi upload function. I am also glad they actually fix the RSS feed problems, now it can actually show the whole feed instead of the exerpt when you use the <!--more--> tag in your post. There are more positives than negatives in this release in my opinion.


  9. IE has problems with text re-sizing of pixel based pages, which is a really good feature to have if you want/need a more accessible site, so using ems solves this problem.The percent size of Font on the Body tag brings IE font-sizes in-line with the other Browsers. Without the 62.5% there, IE will display larger font sizes by default and using this technique allows you better font management across multiple browsers.


    Once again it is IE. So lets say if I put 1em as the margin-right for my DIV, what is the exact spacing in pixels it will generate?

    I will be sure to note this when I get down to coding my WordPress template.

  10. Thought I would post my solution here so anyone who gets stucked in the same situation could benefit from it. First I started my PC and enable my printer for sharing. Then I went over to my Mac and tried to locate my Windows PC and subsequently the printer, select it as my default printer and viola. Anything I print goes over to the printer connected to my PC. 1 catch though: my PC has to be switched on whenever I want to print from my Mac. Not that I am complaining though.The only drawback would be the lack of functions, I can't find a way to set the printer to actually print in black and white instead of in color. Back to researching it seems, but I would appreciate it if anyone could actually help me.


  11. Are we talking about DSLRs or Point and Shoot?I can only advice you about the latter since I haven't actually owned a DSLR but would love to in the future. When I buy a Point and Shoot camera, I always look for brands, right now at the moment only Sony, Nikon and Canon really takes my vote. But Sony is my first choice for biased reasons that I am a Sony fan. But I would advice to consider the mega pixels, the lens width and also the optical zoom because these are the specifications I always look at. The higher the mega pixels, the higher the clarity of detail and thus you can print on bigger resolutions like posters ... etc. The lens width is self explanatory and lastly the optical zoom determines how far in you can zoom on an object without compromising the quality by too much. Side tracking for a while, I own a Sony DSC T100 and I really like it, would definitely be putting it to good use when I travel come this July.


  12. Here is my situation:I have a HP printer installed on Windows XP but I am primarily using Leopard for my daily work. It irks me having to always send the files I want to print from my Mac to my PC. It is becoming a chore and I want to ease the process.My host computer is my Mac, and my PC connects to the internet via my Linksys router.The printer is installed and connected on my PC.I want to make it a situation whereby when I want to print a document on my Mac, the print job would go to my PC instead and it will end up printing from there. Can anyone lend me a hand on this?I am very new to this and not even sure how it works. So guys be patient if I take sometime to understand.Thanks in advanced.
