You can easily do this in a child theme by using the filter in the functions.php file:

function comment_reform ($arg) {

$arg['title_reply'] = __('My God, it's full of stars!');

return $arg;

}

add_filter('comment_form_defaults','comment_reform');

+5 charisma if you recognize the quote.

A quick search suggests:

Maybe we should add a bit on this to the Wiki FAQ?

First, the url should be in single quotes:

background-image: url('http://www.blog.com/images/image.jpg')

Sorry I didn’t give that example to you properly. Carelessness on my part.

Second, when I go to the URL specified in your code, I get a 404 error. You might want to double-check that location.

how do I know if I’m using a child theme or not

If you’re asking this, then chances are good that you’re not. You can enter the above code in Graphene’s “Custom CSS” feature. Please don’t edit the theme’s core files or you will lose your changes at the next update.

I’m going to mark this “Resolved” then, if no one has any objections.

Oh no…it’s like the SAT/ACT/GCSE all over again!

Good point, though. Maybe some of the maths problems should be harder than just 4+5. Maybe we should use some of the trains in motion problems from Algebra I.

Also is there a way to split the header into 2 columns.

? Not sure what you mean here.

Ideally I’d like the logo to be above the header photo

You can achieve this using an action hook in your child theme.

Next best thing would be to add the logo next to the header image

Left? or right? Not quite sure what you mean here.

Also, I’m moving this to Support to get more voices in here.

It doesn’t look that transparent to me. JPG doesn’t support transparency. It needs to be a .png image.

Try these instructions. I think they will get you where you want to go.

I am trying to clear the main content color and use an image.

Don’t worry about “clearing” the color. The image will cover it up.

If you are using a child theme then background: url(images/container_bg.jpg) isn’t going to work. You need to provide an absolute reference, rather than a relative reference, like this:

background: url(http://www.myblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/images/container_bg.jpg)

Also, if you want the image beneath the posts and the sidebars, just use #content. If you want it just beneath the posts, but not beneath the sidebars, then use #content-main. No need to use both.

(BTW – don’t forget to put code between backticks. Thanks!)

Some of those are really cool, but they’re such “out of the box” thinking that I wonder if some people would have a hard time figuring out what to do.

what the heck do open graph tags mean anyway?

It’s probably some sort of stats thing, so that you can see if the seventeen hours you spent doing all that wonderful SEO stuff actually brought in two more readers this week than last week.

Seriously, just do the addthis.com thing. If you eventually get interested in tracking stats and all that, they make it very easy for you. No tweaks required.
