Try using a static home page with homepage panes enabled, but excerpts disabled. That’s what I did, except I prefer excerpts.
Contact form: there are a number of plugins that will do this nicely for you. You can peruse them at the WP plugins repository here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=contact+form&sort=
Calendar: Again, there are a number of plugins you can look at here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=calendar&sort=
I have tried a number of different calendar plugins and found all of them to be lacking in some way. Either they are hard to use, cause conflicts with other plugins, are difficult to style, etc. The one I like best so far is My Calendar. Not perfect, but good. (There’s a new update available that I haven’t played around with yet, so it may be even better.)
pdf files — you should be able to upload these directly without any problem. However, you might want to look at installing the Mime Type Link Images plugin, which will add a nice icon to the link, making it easier for readers to find them.
Use Firebug to identify the particular elements you need to change. Josh has a good tutorial here: http://www.joshlobe.com/2011/10/using-mozilla-firebug-to-inspect-css-files/
Using Firebug, I see that the relevant
<div>elements you need to adjust are#content-main,#sidebar1and#sidebar2. Using the methods Josh outlines, you can play around the margin and padding settings of these items to get the effect you want. Try it — it works!I don’t know. It’s working for me. (And hey, I didn’t even know you could do this. Wow, does that make it easy to find things.) I couldn’t find anything about it in the WP codex.
I see seven posts on the link you provided. How many pages is Page Navi set to display at a time? If it’s a number larger than seven, perhaps that is why it doesn’t display.
Have you ticked the box marked “Always Show Page Navigation”?
Try going here:
Graphene Options >> Display >> Colours Options >> Archive
Is this something that should go in the
<head>part of your html? In that case, try hooking it to thewp_head()action hook, via your child theme’s functions file. (A good tutorial is here: http://www.nathanrice.net/blog/an-introduction-to-wordpress-action-hooks/ )have uploaded the file into the media section
Go to Appearance >> Header and try uploading it from there.
I added the PHP code to the general CSS
Not quite sure how that would work out, since PHP and CSS are two separate things. You might try posting a bit of code here, or if it’s a lot, use pastebin.com.
Can you please resend the video link that you mention in your first line (it just sends me back to this post).
Sorry, I messed that link up. Here it is:

back ticks — yep. It helps to highlight the code, but it also renders it as code. Some kinds of code will get rendered by browsers–at best we can’t really see what you’re talking about, and at worst, it can cause problems when visiting the page.
I’m glad you got the footer situation sorted out. I’m planning on doing a succinct tutorial on basic CSS sometime after the holiday.
