Some hosts will not allow you much access to .htaccess, and that’s what takes care of rewriting the URL’s. You might want to contact them for ideas.

I knew there had to be a simpler way. Thanks!

Oh yeah, did you read this page from the Codex that tells you how to set up a static front page? (I don’t think you’ll need to create the second page.)

That white bar is actually a CSS background that is part of the “sprite_h.png” image file.

The CSS for the footer looks like:

#footer {

background: url(images/sprite_h.png) left -952px repeat-x #111;

border-top: 1px solid #d5d5d5;

padding-top: 50px;

margin-bottom: 50px;

min-height: 100px;

position: relative;

color: #999;

padding-bottom: 20px;

}

You can’t just delete the “background” line, because Custom CSS doesn’t replace the original CSS, it only overrides it. I have had success just taking out the URL, so it reads

background: url() left -952px repeat-x #111;

This will still leave a black space where that white bar was. This is controlled by the padding-top: 50px; line. Change that 50px to something smaller to tighten up the layout.

Okay, well first solution is to go back to default settings. Make sure those still work first.

Have you changed anything else on your site? At first thought, it seems that your .htaccess file is not correctly configured. Does your hosting service allow you to change .htaccess? If not, that is why permalinks are not working properly.

See the end of this page from the Codex (under “Save Changes”), and also see if anything on this page makes sense.

Try this in your CSS:

#header-menu-wrap ul li a {font-size:10px;}

Or whichever size you would like.

Where did you insert it? I am not seeing it in your custom CSS.

Well, the appearance will be somewhat different, but I don’t see anything that you should expect to lose. If you didn’t edit any of the theme’s core files, the only difficulty that might arise would be a plugin being incompatible with the new theme, but you run a pretty lean blog, so I don’t see much of a problem.

Go ahead and update. If you don’t like what happens, you can always go back to an older version.

If this is all you want to change, you can just add it to custom CSS in Graphene options (bottom of the “Display” tab). No need for a child theme. I have made a lot of modifications to my blogs just through CSS and the available options without creating a child theme.
