my wordpress blog: editing the theme question

kentaiwan98 · 10-09-2009, 10:07 AM

Ok. I have a wordpress.org blog, and I need to move the list of pages down a few 'lines', to accommodate everything under the title. I'm using the tags <br/><br/> but I think this could be clumsy... Click to see what I mean.

Is there an alternate way to do this?

Hi Kenneth,

Looking at the source code your "Clumsy" bit of code that lives in the div id="branding".

What you've done by including the two extra breaks is pad the height by two font-heights worth.

You could set the height of your "branding" id to what looks like 100px.

Add to your custom.css file ( this is the stylesheet the theme authors recommend you make any changes in)

HTML Code:

#branding{height:100px;}

and you may have to play with it ( as in adjust it to suit.)

That's just ONE way you could achieve this.

There is nothing terribly wrong with using extra breaks but it could be deemed "clumsy" by some. If it works...

Hope that sheds some light on your question.

Cheers
Tim

It's probably best to just add a margin-bottom attribute to the title selector.

ex.

#branding {margin-bottom: 20px;}

That's a far better solution.
