Please put code between backticks (
`).You should do this in a child theme, however. Any modifications you make to Graphene core files will be lost in the next update. You can find out how to make a child theme in the Graphene wiki, which is here:
http://wiki.khairul-syahir.com/graphene-theme/wiki/Customisation_using_a_child_theme
Did you do this so you can take advantage of the “Random: Show a different image on each page” option?
I dont have a fancy word editor
I would suggest Notepadd++ for Windoze, which is free and shows you the line numbers. Very handy. You can get it here. The Mac version, Macpad++, is here.
Thanks for sharing,

There has been a lot of discussion about this topic in this forum. You can start with any of these posts:

https://forum.graphene-theme.com/graphene-support/sprite-images

Also, the “dithering” effect is actually called a gradient. You can achieve this with an image (you can use Photoshop or GIMP to generate a gradient image; there are gradient image generators available online as well), or you can achieve it using CSS.
Good luck

The slider is meant to display posts, not pages. Have you written any posts yet?
You can get it to display pages with a plugin. There have been threads about this in this forum. A quick search should lead you there.
Why don’t you wrap the latter two in a
<div>and style it the same way?<div style="position:relative;top:20px;">
<g:plusone size="medium" count="false"></g:plusone>
<div class="fb-like" data-send="false" data-width="450" data-show-faces="false" data-font="arial"></div>
</div>Might not work, but worth a try.
Interesting question.
When you have the time some day, you might want to look at:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-sticky-post-for-each-category#post-1982549
or this one:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-sticky-posts-at-the-top-of-category-archive
or this plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/astickypostorderer/
But I am slowly giving up the use of archives as I use Kalin’s Post List plugin more and more.
Also, for posts like this one, rather than just a simple (and boring) link, you might try the WP Lynx plugin. You can do things like this:

Interesting site, definitely.
On individual posts, the comment stuff is pushing right up against the left of the content area, touching the dark background. It looks a little crowded. You might want to add in some padding.
Your images on the front page (either in the slider or down below) aren’t showing up because you’re hotlinking the pics. They’ll show up if you serve them from your own server. (You really shouldn’t hotlink, anyway.)
I would suggest using pretty permalinks, along with Google ads that fit in the designate area a little better (without all the whitespace on either side).
A good start, however. Very good.

Doh! (insert head slap here) it should be:
Backtick is “shift” plus the “~” key, only without the “shift”.
It depends on what you want to appear there. What do you want to appear there?
vertical lines in between buttons as well
That should be a border-left or border-right between the first level line item (
<li>) in the navigation menu. I’m playing around with this as well, so I’ll let you know if I have any luck with it.Settings order of precedence: It really helps to understand that a plugin will usually take precedence to any default theme behavior. Kind of the inconsistent with stylesheets, but good to know.
Yes, plugins’ styles generally load after the theme stylesheet loads. That way the plugin css doesn’t get overridden by something in the theme’s styles. You can override this in your child theme stylesheet by adding the “!important” to any plugin style you copy to the child theme.
outside of the widget areas
Technically, a widget area isn’t anywhere, because you can always style widgets with absolute positioning to put them just about anywhere. It’s a bit more advanced CSS, but not much more advanced.
