Display Problem with WordPress 3.1.1

Hello,

I have a problem with my blog, coffeeshopdating.com. I want all the posts to be displayed in the same way as they are on my other site, travelswithnathan.com. From what I can tell, this is a configuration issue because it happens with all of my themes, yet my travelswithanathan site is just fine. Can anyone tell me how to solve the problem?

Thanks

Nathan

    Could you give further detail? What do you mean 'make them look the same'? In order to do that you have to use the same theme.

    Open your FTP client and connect to the server.
    Download the index.php from
    ecoffeeshopdating.com/wp-content/themes/dovetail/ folder
    Make a backup copy of it - just in case you screw up the editing

    In a plain text editor, like Notepad edit it:
    replace <?php the_content(); ?> with <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
    Save it and upload it to its place.

    It should work.

      Actually, I'm aware of the excerpt option with the loop, but that's not what I mean. If you go to my travelswithnathan blog, you'll see each post one after another on the same page (I use the "More" tag for excerpts and it works well).

      Now, check out the posts on CoffeeShopDating. The problem is that each post shows up individually within its own frame. I want them all to blend on one long page like they do on my travelswithnathan site.

      I thought this might be a theme problem, so I changed the theme and discovered that it didn't make a difference. All my themes behave the same way, so it looks like a configuration issue in WordPress 3.1.1.

    Change the margin-bottom in the style.css, just add at the bottom

    .postFrame {
    margin-bottom: 0;
    }

    Each content frame has images for the border effect and background, if you want to loose these, remove the image links and set the background color.

    .postFrameTop,
    .postFrameBottom,
    .postContent{
    background: #FFFFFF;
    }
