If you use your browser’s “View Source” function on that site, you can determine whether or not they a WP site, and then which plugin they are using to generate that gallery.
Here is another issue:
#container {
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 10px #000;
box-shadow: none;
margin: 0px auto;
width: 960px;Much of this is already defined in the theme’s style sheet, so you are duplicating code. Also, in the second line, you are saying “use a black 10 pixel wide box shadow” and in the third line you are saying “don’t use a box shadow at all.” A browser that only understands the webkit box shadow will display the box shadow, but a browser that doesn’t need the webkit declaration will show it, since it comes second.
This is one issue:
#header-menu > li.current-menu-ancestor > a,
{
background: #000000;The last selector should not have a comma after it. This causes all sorts of problems for the rest of the code that comes after that.
i guess i will have to try learn some css and html to not have these problems
Yes, you will–thank you for realizing that. But you will still have problems (no one gets it right the first time), but the good news is that you will have bigger and better problems because you are trying bigger and better things. It’s frustrating at first, I know, but it gets to be a lot of fun after a while.
Fortunately, there are lots of good resources out there. Check out my blog, Josh’s blog, & Prasanna’s blog — we all have articles and links to other really good sources. When I get the time, I intend to write some very basic introductions to CSS and HTML, but that might not be for a few weeks.
Cheers,

but nothing changes.

Generally, tabbed content requires a combination of javascript and css. It appears that one or both of those items is missing or not functioning properly.
It’s possible that these plugins either weren’t installed properly or completely, or that they are conflicting with some other plugin. Plugin conflicts are the source of a lot of problems. The only way to deal with them is to disable them one at a time and figure out which one is causing the problem.
You can try switching to another theme temporarily and seeing if these plugins work then. If they don’t, then it’s not really a theme issue. You might want to contact the writers of the plugin at that point. If they do, then it’s most likely a javascript or jQuery conflict from within the Graphene theme.

I would also set the background to “fixed” rather than “scroll”. Scrolling backgrounds are so 1999.
I really have no idea. I use AddThis code out of the box. I don’t use social sharing buttons on my front page or excerpt pages for two reasons:
1. That is really valuable real estate and I want to fill it with my content.
2. I want people to actually read what I write and think about it before they share it.
But if you figure it out, feel free to share it. A lot of other people would like to know how, I bet.
(Love you site, btw.)

This is the support section of the forum (there are numerous sections which you can view here: https://forum.graphene-theme.com/ — “Graphene Support” is where you need to be).
Post a link and we can take a closer look.
@Bre289928
swapping Arial fonts for Times in the style.css
Actually, you should be able to do this from Graphene Options as well, rather than going into the style sheet. If you are digging into the style sheet, you should be doing this in a child theme, rather than by editing core files.
Your permalinks structure is sound. It is also strange that your 404 error quickly redirects to your main page.
Note about permalinks in general
Setting up permalinks requires altering your site’s htaccess file. Not all hosts will allow you, or software you install, to change the htaccess file. If you eliminate your permalinks structure and your links work fine, you may want to contact your host to see if this is the issue.
While you’re at it, take a look at the system requirements for permalinks here:

and make sure your host is able to handle them.
Action hook tutorial is here:

I think you’ll find that easy to do, although it might take a couple of tries to get it right.
Please note, however, that social sharing buttons inevitably link to the page they appear on. So if all your posts or excerpts on your front page show social sharing buttons, clinking on them will create a link to your front page, not to the post they originate from.
You’ll need to use the AddThis API to explicitly define the URL, Title, and Description of the page the buttons are sharing, regardless of on which page the button is placed: http://www.addthis.com/help/url-and-title
I see this code on your site:
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 {
font-family: FlemishScriptBT-Regular !important;
font-style: normal !important;
font-weight: normal !important;
}If these headings are showing up on your computer okay, then you could just add
h1 {font-size: 150%;}
h2 {font-size: 140%;}etc.
I say “if” because these fonts aren’t installed on my computer and so I don’t see them on your website except where you are using them in an image, like this one:
