Theme broken -?- (not any more)

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

There is number of things that display differently since changing to wordpress theme Piano-Black (version 2.2) – Ad_Blah – pasted below in block quote(s).

Piano Black 2.2 by mono-lab

This theme supports widget, threaded-comments, theme-options,and translation is ready. Also including page-navigation and multi level dropdown menu.You can see live demo including more information here http://www.mono-lab.net/demo3/

After having it installed for the last ten days or so, … I can review it as an interesting theme, but will might return to the Kubrick theme simply due to familiarity with that, and time-constraints not allowing endless (re-configuration of a theme) activity.

The blog theme is going to look very rough for a few days, and navigation will be minimal.
Confirmed-Broken – the wordpress control panel tell me a *.css style-sheet is missing.
Confirmed-Broken – opened site with alternative browser (ff 3.6.3) and formating still broken.

UPDATED-POST; – Monday 28 June 2010 – (This seems very relevant after in context of this post – RE: – stuffing around with some stuff that went awfully wrong – and got it back to functional – still not 100% xhtml – but it is working) –

PROBLEM – continues to exist with new theme (Twenty Ten 1.0) -
The Archive-widget returned briefly (then disappeared), and the TAG-cloud is displaying IF you scroll to the bottom of the page. (big sigh)

UPDATED – 3:15pm – Found the problem in post – “Adobe plugin installed – (Browser – Iceweasel in Knoppix 6.2)” – where I have made a number of formatting changes both manually in the HTML and Via the wordpress-GUI, … and so causing the Theme to Break, and display erratically, (All fixed now)

THIS – could be useful in future – http://www.w3schools.com/css/ -

html reference (nodes)

Friday, June 18th, 2010

THIS ARTICLE: – (Has LINKs to the following REFERENCE materials)
TITLE; – the-document-object-model-mapping-your-html

#001: – http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/the-document-object-model-mapping-your-html

AND; – Each of these pages contain links to other important element-descriptions.

#002: – http://reference.sitepoint.com/html/head

#003: – http://reference.sitepoint.com/html/body

#004: – http://reference.sitepoint.com/html/h1

#005: – http://reference.sitepoint.com/html/core-attributes/id

Text Nodes – (UNDERSTAND-This, “Text, Vs Element NODEs”)
In HTML code, anything that’s not contained between angled brackets will be interpreted as a text node in the DOM. Structurally, text nodes are treated almost exactly like element nodes: they sit in the same tree structure and can be reached just like element nodes; however, they cannot have children.

ELEMENT-Nodes
TEXT-Nodes
ATTRIBUTE-Nodes

clear as mud.

#006: – http://reference.sitepoint.com/html/a

QUOTE; – a (HTML element) – Description -
At one character long, this is one of the smallest elements, but a is the lifeblood of the World Wide Web. It’s this element that links the billions of web pages together, allowing you to surf from page to page almost endlessly. To say that it’s the most important element of all those presented here would not be an exaggeration.
