Hmmm… I created menus via categories but these categories, “In the News” for instance, has sub-categories attached to them – “Science & Technology” and “Politics” so far. I don’t see these subs… so maybe I did not set them up correctly?

I got it! 🙂

Ok, so yeah… your RSS code… where’s the code which specifically calls http://url/feeds? I think I will have to mimic that code in order for the rest of my buttons to work – facebook, twitter, and email subscriptions.

This is the part of the code that generates the feeds URL: <?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>

It’s a wordpress function. You can read more about it (including what other values you can get using that function) at the WordPress Codex Page.

ahh ok… hmm. So if I wanted to implement a button that basically links to my twitter account, how may I go about doing that? Any code I can “borrow” from that subscription widget I posted previously?

Your Twitter account is not related to WordPress in any way. Why not just hardcode the link? For Twitter, it should be something like http://www.twitter.com/twitterusername

do I do that in the style.css or in some other file?

You should do it in the template file that corresponds to where you want to put the link. If you want to put it beside the RSS icon on the top bar, then it should be in the header.php file after the RSS I quoted several posts before.

would you be able to tell me what the placement should be for the 2nd icon (then I can take it from there… right now I have

#mail a{

margin:6px 0 0 68px;

float:left;

width:45px;

height:45px;

background:url(images/icons/mailglass.png) no-repeat;

#mail span{

display:none;

}

}

#mail span{

display:none;

}

located 45px over to the right from the RSS (68). Is my logic right here? 🙂

That CSS will place the 2nd icon 68px to the right of the RSS, with it’s size being 45px wide and 45px high.

I’m sorry, but I have to say that these are pretty simple adjustments to make if you know enough HTML and CSS, which isn’t much.

Ah to the right of RSS and not from the left margin, I got it. What I wanted to do is update your original sprite which I never had to do before… so yeah, it’s simple once you know it. 🙂
