   Greetings milo

   I have settled on a final theme, the choice was difficult between Fog and Ice, however Fog was the overall consensus winner. I do have a few minor questions, if you would not mind.
   My site is http://www.newvox.org

   1. I realize the theme is fluid, however the horizontal alignment between the posts and the left and right sidebars is off. It appears that there is more spacing on the right then the left. Can his be adjusted, if so how?

   Minor questions
   1. Is it possible to remove data, such as the WordPress name and link from the META widget on the left sidebar?
   2. How to change the name of Blogroll widget to Externals?
   3. How to show on page in footer, Copyright ©2008, before site name, instead of the popup when someone hovers over name. I looked for coding, in other of your themes footers, but could not get any of them to work.

   Finally, would you mind if I included your site in my Blogroll?

   Thank You very much, and by all means ENJOY yourself this holiday season. :)

   Suggesting to download the updated Fog version, then you will have this layout.

   Sorry milo
   I downloaded it 5 days ago before I began to personally 'customize' it. In you example "this layout" you will also notice the same alignment problem, that I face, i.e., the posts have little to no spacing with the left sidebar compared to a bigger gap with the right sidebar. I think, speaking as someone who knows squat about all this, it might be a 'padding' isuue, but don't know how to fix it.

   Once again thank you.

   Seems, like I can't edit posts here, however, I resolved my alignment issue, it was a 'padding' on line 121 in style.css. Also resolved, minor issue #1, in original post. Still, if you could, is it possible to give me a hint as to what .php for my remaining #2 and #3 above.

   Thanks again.

   change the name of Blogroll widget to Externals?
   edit either the widget title
   or manually edit the h2 tag in the specific sidebar

   show on page in footer, Copyright ©2008, before site name, instead of the popup when someone hovers over name.
   specify that please, sorry, I have no clue what you want.

   Hello once again milo

   All my minor issuses have been resolved with your help and my tinkering around, with the exception of the Copyright issue.

   As it currently is, at the bottom of the footer, in the center, it shows my site name then all of your credits. When I place the mouse over my site name, it displays Copyright©2008 (this is ok as long as someone hovers over the site name).

   Ideally, what I would like it to display is Coyright©2008 newvox.org. along with your credits. Similar to how it shows on the bottom of this page. It is OK for me to have it centered and still display the mouse over info, to the left of your credits.

   I hope this is a better explanation. Once again, Thank You for being there for us that are just beginning and for being an inspiration.

   Seems like your issues are not completely solved, as your site does not work in 1024px screen size anymore, right sidebar is pushed down under main area.
   You might look into that.

   Footer text, find this in your CSS:
   #footer {clear: both;width: 60%;margin: 0 auto;background: url(images/footer.gif) repeat-x left top;} #footer p {margin: 0;padding: 30px;text-align: center;font-size:80%;}

   and replace with this:

   #footer {clear: both;width: 60%;margin: 0 auto;background: url(images/footer.gif) repeat-x left top;color:#666;}
   #footer p {margin: 0;padding: 30px;text-align: center;font-size:80%;color:#666;}
   #footer a {color:#666;}

   It looks fine to me. I am on a 21" iMac @ 1680 x 1050 resolution. My Safari and Firefox browser windows extend the full width of the screen, therefore I see no problem

   HOWEVER you are correct. If I change the resolution to 1024 x 768, OR change the width of the browser window to less than 1176 pxs, the right sidebar IS pushed down below the main content.

   My question to you is can this be become a 'fixed width' theme at 1200pxs, instead of a fluid column theme? If so, what would I have to add or delete in the style.css and where? Something within the body like margin:1200px,?

   Because it appears fine to me is not necessarily what my visitors might see if they do not have the same setup that I do. My goal is to get it right for all.

   If this requires some "customizing" on your part to correct, please drop me a quote via my contact page on the site.

   Thank You.

   I meant to say width:1200px, instead of margin:1200px in above post.

    Well, simply said you might check first browser statistics before setting on a screen size that is not supported...applying usability and accessibility for all users.
