I just had an idea for you to get the exact shape. Not being much of an artist myself, I would copy the img from the tutorial, then one with just the black outline of the letter into a folder. Then print it out then hold it up to a window and trace it out on another piece of paper. Then scan it on to your PC, open it with photo shop. Now you would have the exact img. I know sounds like a lot but I can not draw even stick people so this is what I would do.

The reason I am guessing that he wrote his letter on paper first is because it is easier then using the pen tool. Also remember that the tutorial is meant to teach you, "This tutorial will show you how to use layer styles and finish the effect with a vector-style brick background". The author just used the letters that he hand drew to look cool. You will have to hand draw or use the pen tool in Photo Shop to get that exact look. But remember this is not what the tutorial is for. When you scan something onto your PC to open it in photo shop I save the scan as a jpeg and then open it in photo shop and then save as a psd. As I said in my last post you did a good job at what the author was trying to teach you. So to sum up I would not worry about the letter not being the exact same shape.

Yes I would have to agree with Andrea on this one.

I believe that what your problem is that your free hand is not as good as the person that wrote the tutorial. The tutorial is not to teach you how to make the exact image that the author did, it is meant to teach you how to make the same effect with any fount that you want to use. Go back and look at step #3 and the author wrote, "you can go online and find a font that would best fit your design or for my tutorial I created a rough sketch of how I wanted my text to look and scanned it into my computer". What I would do is the pick my own fount and then go and follow the rest of the tutorial to get the effect. What you did as far as fallowing the tutorial to get the effect the author was teaching you is pretty good. This is kinda of an advanced effect so do not feel bad that the letter is not the exact shape. Remember the author drew it free hand.

ok I think i need a nap, I found where to change my e-mail. Now I have a new problem I need to put in my password and do not know what it is. I used the default one and that was in my hacked e-mail account which is now deleted.

My e-mail account has gotten itself hacked, a big pain in the but going and changing your e-mail everywhere. This is the last place to get it done. My problem is I can not find where to do this at, help please. Thank You.

It is working now do not know what was happening but thanks.

I had to come back and look at your css again. Your body tag that you are looking for is the first one under /*--- 2.0 - Typography Styles --*/ scroll down until you find the above and you will see your body tag and the background tag is empty all there is is body { background: color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 87.5%; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; } Put the code I posted earlier here. Make sure that you upload your img to the images folder on your server and this should fix your problem. All that cover stuff is to make your img cover the hole browser window with out stretching the img and making it look funny.

When I click on the send me a massage in your profile I get a pop up window that say I do no have permission for this action

Well first thanks for adding me as a friend. The reason I sent you a friend request is I wanted your opinion on personal site that I started. I value your opinion greatly. I know you do not know you but you are awesome here. You helped so many times I know I am just one of many. I tried to send you a personal massage but it will not let me and I do not do face book do not even have an account. I did not want to put the url of the site on the forum it would not be right.

You can add a body element to your css at the bottom if you can not find it in the file. Or if you are using a child theme put it there. body { background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center fixed; -webkit-background-size: cover; -moz-background-size: cover; -o-background-size: cover; background-size: cover; } This is if you put your img in the img folder on your server and you want it to cover the hole page. An example of this you can see on a site that I am currently working on http://www.robertbonnerswebdesigns.com/fourseasonsfloralwholesales.com I put the url here just to see if that is what you are looking for. Also If you are not using a child them I would strongly suggest it as if you do any updates with out it they will be gone. Trust me that bites.

here is another one that i like www.spinchat.com.

Upps forgot I like your theme

The left leaf is in p.post-comments and the right one is in span.post-comments Hope this helps.

Try this free text editor Komodo edit. I use this more then I use Dreamweaver which I paid big bucks for. You will find it easier to learn it has line numbers and syntax coloring. This is only my personnel opinion but I find it easier to write code with these two things.

Yes WP has a plug in for back up, I get an email weekly. Also I am a back up nut I have all of my sites backed up on the server, on my pc, on my lap top and on a flash drive. I tool Andyrea's advice and changed myself as the admin and now I am changing my password daily. This is ok for my personnel site but when a client gets hacked it is a little more of a problem. I still have not figured out how they put links all over, still working on it. Although I will probably never get it. I just hope to stop it in the future. I thought about taking the site down for awhile but it is a help site kinda like this one just not as good. But I have 15 members on my help forum so I just beefed up the security a bit and hope that works.

Thanks I did not even think of making me a new user. I did go yesterday and change all of my WP database prefix from WP_ to something else _ I still want to figure out how they made the links on the text but did not show up in my html file, that has me baffled.

Just a little side note, to shorten your code in your CSS you can: #footer { clear: both; } I add this to every footer wither I need to clear a left or right or both, float. I just clear both as a habit just to make sure that I have it covered and do not forget as I am writing my CSS and do not have to go back and fix it. It has become such a habit that I catch myself doing it on sites where I do not even have a floated content.

I have a personal Word Press site. It was hacked last night. What they did is put random links on all of the pages. I went into the editor and under html to get the links out but that was not it. I had to just delete the words and replace them. That took care of the problem for now. I am using BPS Security That is how I new something was up right away, sent me an email. My question is does anyone know of a plugin or some code that will stop this. I do know who it is but I live in the States and can not afford to go to Germany to visit this person. I am guessing that this is the person because they have been on the site more than me and keep changing there IP address but the latitude and longitude are the same and I kept blocking there IP address because they kept trying to go to wp-index.php and administrator.

Looks good but just a suggestion git rid of the links on the bottom and put a footer there, also git rid of the right borders on the links at the very top

Trust in Ben he is an awesome dude. Like he said DW is just an fancy text editor. You can theoretically build a web site with DW with out knowing code. But I would not advize this, I tried it and did not go very well. Like Ben said when things go wrong you will have problems if you do not know any code. Advice go on this form and find the article that LSW wrote about learning code, anyway I think it was him if not somebody correct me please. It is has a lot of good stuff in it about why you should learn code. Just remember in web designing there is not really any good short cuts.

I have not done that much with videos on any of my sites, just once so I am not much help there. But for the img you need to have them sized for the web, a very good tool for this that is free at fotozier.com This program does a lot and not to bad of job at resizing imgs. It lets you do one or a hole folder at once. Has maintain aspect ratio. It is not any way as good as photoshop but if you are happy with you imgs the this free tool is perfect.

You could put the header in the wrapper if you want to. Just depends on what you want your page to look like. If you want your page to be like the one here meaning killersites then put the header in a wrapper. It just depend on the look you are going for. Do you have a link to the site you are working on for we can take a look? Here is a site with the header all the way across the top and the content centered at 960px width. I put this here for you just to look at I just started needs a lot of work. http:// www.freewebdesigningreference.com Take out the space.

oh ya if you want the header all the way across the top do not put it in a wrapper div put the header right after the body tag

ok, understand now. But have a couple of questions. Is the p tag your header? Is the 100% width inside of a div or just in the body tag? Here is what I would do. That is if you want a regular size page. Make a wrapper div 960 px wide and put a header dive in side of that and your content dive inside as well. Something like this. <body> <div id=wrapper> <div id=header>Place your logo img here not in a p tag. Place your text here in a p tag</div> <div id=main_content></div> </div><--end wrapper div--> In your CSS #wrapper { width: 960 px; } #header { width: 960 px; height:What ever you need #header img { margin: what ever you need to place the img where you want it. Use CSS short hand Think of a clock noon then 3pm then 6pm then 9pm example, top right bottom left. 10px 0px 0px 20px This wil place your img 10px from the top and 20 px from the left of the edge of the header div. } #header p { This will place any p tag inside of the header and leave the rest of your p tags alone. } } #main_content { width:960px; } Do not for get borders will effect the width. Or if you are trying to make a header like the one above on this site then put the header inside of the body tag and make it 100% like you did and in the CSS do this body { margin: what ever you want here for the left and right and the height whatever you need } Hope this helps, I will check back tomorrow when I get up.
