In reply to: SEO – Complete controle over H1 title – Not the permalink in the archive
October 25, 2011 at 10:16 pm #18764I see. You can always use your permalinks to include your full title, which makes your URL keyword rich.
Unordered? WordPress will always order these things from newest to oldest. No way around that, I’m afraid.
What you are seeing on these pages are the post excerpts. The default length for a WordPress excerpt is 55 words. You can change that using this technique, but it will change the length of all excerpts everywhere, including the front page.
You might want to look into this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/excerpt-editor/
Good luck,
Ken

October 25, 2011 at 9:16 pm #18762I’m a little confused here. I can understand why you wouldn’t want two H1’s at the top of the page.
And you’re right:
display:nonedoesn’t eliminate an element; it just prevents it from displaying. But what’s wrong with using the permalink title as your H1 element and then using H2 elements in the rest of the article?Good tip, Josh. I’ll use that on my bookblog, which I’m updating. Thanks.
Oh, that’s how you pulled that off, Josh. I was wondering about that. It’s seriously cool.
Sure, it’s possible. You can do it with css or with a gradient image (there are generators for both available online).
My question is: which part do you want to do a gradient of? The background? The main content area?
Please include a URL and tell us what coding you’ve tried in the past. This is actually a fairly easy thing to accomplish.

Well, you would have to feed that data to a server, which your blog (plugin?) would update on a regular basis. But this is a shot in the dark.
Some plugins that deal with real time data are here. You might want to take a look at a handful and see if you can reverse-engineer one of them. And remember, GIYF.
Good luck,

The only thing you really need in a child theme is
style.css, so if that’s all you are seeing, that’s okay. (You can also use a child themefunctions.phpif you get really ambitious down the road.)Custom CSS is a Graphene option that lets you enter custom CSS without creating a child theme. You can read more about it on the wiki:

It looks good! You can also use Firebug to diagnose these things.
My tutorial is here: http://blog.kjodle.net/2011/10/02/using-firebug-to-tweak-your-blog/
And Josh has a good video tutorial here: http://www.joshlobe.com/2011/10/using-mozilla-firebug-to-inspect-css-files/
Halfway there…
I’m assuming I have to modify sidebar.php to adjust the sidebar width?
Nope, you change it with CSS. See this post: https://forum.graphene-theme.com/graphene-support/sidebar-width-1
