You should have a sampletheme folder inside of the thematic folder, copy this to your themes directory. Rename it to whatever you want and you will see a functions.php and styles.css file in there. Those are the files you start modifying, you can make pretty much all changes in those. Add the above to the functions.php file and then go to the WP Menu Admin area and you will see Top Menu in the locations box.

It appears to have reset my header.php which I edited for this purpose along with the stylesheet.css. Unfortunately, I didn't backup between making these changes and upgrading the theme so I've lost the code. And, frustratingly, I can't remember how I did it! The code from my stylesheet is: <pre><code>#link_holder #home_link { display: block; width: 540px; height: 263px; } #link_holder #button_link { display: block; width: 200px; height: 80px; margin-left: 674px; margin-top: -121px; }</code></pre> ...and so forth.

I want a Wordpress blog with a simple layout similar to Indexhibit, for example, like <a href="http://www.scottklinker.com/">this</a> or <a href="http://www.kevinbuist.com/">this</a>. I mean: a column on the left with an image header at the top and the menu above, and another column at the right with the content. I know how to change colors, font sizes, fonts types, margins, paddings, etc, with CSS, but I don't know how to convert the default Thematic layout in the two column design that I want. Do you know if there is something done, a theme that I can take as a starting point to do this? Is Thematic a good choice for do this, or do you think that would be better to start simply from here: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development</a> and change the default Wordpress 3.0 theme, Twentyten? Thanks for reading and excuse my inexperience with Thematic and with english language :-) em hr on "Header Image" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/header-image-2#post-13673 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 21:29:59 +0000 em hr 13673@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ FYI: moving forward the function thm_bloginfo() has been deprecated using it will cause an error. Using <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_bloginfo"><code>get_bloginfo()</code></a> will work fine with minor adjustments in it's place. floridastyle on "Layerd image in header?" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/layerd-image-in-header#post-12020 Fri, 30 Apr 2010 15:10:02 +0000 floridastyle 12020@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ How was this resolved? I wish to layer an image that connects to the header outside my sidebar as a table. It is easy to use a wrapper, but it will not flow above other elements.
