My widgets appear badly formatted

jellybeans.jpgYeah. That’s what they don’t tell you when they tell you about widgets the first time… They can be a pain to format and not too many have formatting options built in. If you speak CSS the problem is small: just add a few lines with the formatting info for your widget to ’style.css’. You find the identifier your widget uses by looking at the source code of the page containing your badly formatted widget. If you don’t want to deal with CSS, check if there are other widgets out there which do the same thing. That’s often the case. Try those. If none of them appears the way you would like, post a question on the feedback forum.


Why do you call Drikatruu Jelly a ‘template’ rather than a ‘theme’?

Because it is meant to be used for ‘normal’ websites, not for blogs. Blogs use ‘themes’, which contain only formatting information. In the case of Drikatruu Jelly some template elements like the sidebar contain information as well. In short, templates for websites, themes for blogs.


How can I add pictures like your jelly beans on the home page?

I have made things easy. If you insert a picture it will automatically float left with 5 pixels margin on its right side. Again, you don’t need to do anything - inserted pictures will automatically float left. If you want the picture to appear on the right hand side you have to add class=”right” as shown below in the code window. Before you start doing that, have a quick read of the general instructionsabout using pictures in WordPress.

How can I get rid of the jelly beans at the bottom of each post in the blog view?

There is a file in the images folder of the jelly theme with the telling name ‘endofpost-pix.jpg’. Rename it. The just upload the pix you want to appear into the same directory and name it ‘endofpost-pix.jpg’. No need to change any scripts. No problem if you chose a slightly bigger or smaller picture.
