I don’t know too much about Google Analytics, but if they are using IP addresses to keep track of visitors (and I suspect they are), then this makes sense. You see, ISP’s (Internet Service Providers) have a limited number of IP addresses to use, so every time you log on, they give you one the addresses they have available. Log on tomorrow, and you get a different IP address and thus, look like a different person to Google Analytics. This just goes to show that nothing on the internet works perfectly all of the time.

On the other hand, it could be something entirely different.

9. Okay… either I’m missing something, or you mis-counted…

Well, what you considered

Parenz instead of Bracketz

I actually considered “opening” and “closing” as two separate things, since that provides two opportunities to mess things up.

Your YooHoo was delicious, BTW!

Matt, are you talking about ordinary text widgets? Yes, those can be a lot of fun.

But do you know about Graphene’s Action Hook Widget Areas? If not, take a look at this:

Just don’t go too crazy!

And learn to be aware of the mistakes you typically make in typing. That “ps” thing–I do that all the time. I just can’t get my finger to bend down to the “x”. So when something doesn’t look right, I search for “ps” and sure enough, there it is!

Of course, you can play, Josh. But all prizes must be claimed in one hour, or I drink them.

I am really beginning to rethink about some of the code I may use. Adding bells & whistles can be a costly inconvenience.

The thing is to be careful: change only one thing at a time and take notes.

And yep, you’re right: a lot of what we do is just bells and whistles, but what is bells and whistles for one of us is an absolute necessity for someone else. My best guidance is to decide what you absolutely have to have and get that working first, then go back and add all the fun stuff.

I’ll get down off my soapbox now…

I had no idea themes could be so sensitive to stray characters

It’s not just themes; it’s anything to do with coding. There’s no such thing as “close enough” when it comes to writing code. Either it’s correct:

.sidebar {width: 240px;}

or it’s not:

#side_bar (witdh; 24Ops:)

There are nine differences between the two lines of code. They may not mean much to human eyes, but they mean tons to computers. (Most of these are common mistakes I have found in my own code and the code of others.

I have an ice-cold chocolatey Yoo-Hoo for the first one to spot all nine differences!

Graphene Options >> Display Options >> Custom CSS (way at the bottom)

Copy and paste that code and click the “save” button. Mischief managed!

In reply to: update changed me from two columns to one

#21800

Every time I’ve updated the graphene theme, it’s messed up the widths of my columns. In the past I’ve been able to go into the style.css and adjust the widths back.

That’s because you are not using a child theme.

Do you mean the “Join the team” widget? If so, try this custom CSS:

#text-5 p {padding-bottom: 10px;}

Hey, it’s snowing on my blog, too!

It does, but not when using a static front page. See this thread: https://forum.graphene-theme.com/bug-report/more-tag-not-working
