    I just installed btextended. I am trying to do all the fixes to my current blog before I activate it. I have concerns about the following:

    1. Order of posts -- they are populating from the oldest posts rather than the latest (news and featured). Will I have to manually change them?

    2. The top area below the categories is blank. On the demo is shows a sliding photo and post. Does that work after activation?

    3. And the other sliding features, is that a plugin or widget I need to activate?

    blog is blingingbeauty.com

    Thank you. Your work is beautiful.

    Installed Thematic like described at this post?
    Did you set all option via the BT Extended theme options?

    All features are controlled via the options page.
    Once you set all options BT Ex should work w/o probs incl slider and post order.

    Thanks. I set my options -- having a few problems, I'm a novice

    1. With slider
    2. Doing my ads/sponsors

    I'm sorry to be a pest. I also lost my flavicon and my logo. Is that something easy to fix, or should I have my web person do it. I'm trying to save a few bucks.

    Slider
    The plugin Shadow box loads jquery twice, what prevents the theme slider to work.

    Ads
    Upload images and set links in the BT Ex theme options.

    Favicon
    Drop your favicon as png file named favicon.png in the theme image folder.

    Logo

    Prepare img size max 500px width X max 90px height

    open style css, find line 35

    #header{clear:both;background:transparent;width:100%;height:110px;margin:0;padding:0;border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;position:relative;overflow:hidden;}

    change to this

    #header{clear:both;background:transparent url(imagesyour image.jpg) 0 12px no-repeat;width:100%;height:110px;margin:0;padding:0;border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;position:relative;overflow:hidden;}

    find line 39

    #header h1,#header h1 a{font:normal 210%/100% georgia,verdana,sans-serif;color:#900;font-variant:small-caps;border:0;margin:0;padding:20px 0 0 0;letter-spacing:-4px;text-shadow:#000 0 1px 1px;}

    change to

    #header h1,#header h1 a{outline:none;width:500px;height:65px;display:block;text-indent:-99999px;}

    this way you have a semantically correct replacement, which works also for screen readers.

    So the picture on the top is coming through, but it's only a portion of the photo on the post. Is there a way to correct that?

    RE: Ads

    So, I can copy the image location for the url. But the code that I usually use for ads doesn't work in the url line for banner url. this is an example:

    One more...

    How do increase the space between the lines on headlines. On your demo there is some white space, but on my uploaded theme the lines run together.

    Ad code should work, you need to test a bit.

    Slider image: upload medium image size.

    Title size: remove/increase line height in css line 118 and line 157

    Btw: you may have a look at the NewYorker theme and check if it fits you better...

    I'm back. I am getting a 404 error on the "search the archives" link. Is there something I should do for that?

    Can I email you about your services? I'd like to know how much you would charge to put the finishing touches on the elements I can't fix.

    Thanks.
