For the sidebar, I really appreciate all of your help. But like you said, lots of things would be cut off, so that’s why I made the sidebar larger. So I don’t think I can risk resetting it again, unfortunately. And then I decided to go check out the official theme site, and I realized that it was originally on two lines. ._. So I guess that kind of solved itself? (But seriously, I’m extremely sorry about making you go through all of that trouble to explain, only to arrive to this…) It’s my fault for being dumb enough to just now look at the theme’s default template that had two lines. Dx

But thanks for helping so much already. :] I really appreciate it. ^^

Change the width from 79% to 60%.

I meant 69%!! Gomen! 7´s last blog ..Endless Eight – A Startling Revelation

1. To change the font of your theme..

Go to your styles.css and look (CTRL+F) for this code…

.BlockContent-body

Several lines below it should be a code…

font-family: 'Tahoma';

Change Tahoma to a font of your liking.

2. To restore order to your side bar, as well as your search bar..

Look for this code

.contentLayout .content

Several lines after it should be the following string of codes

position: relative;
margin:0;
padding:0;
border:0;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
width: 79%;


Change the width from 79% to 60%.

In addition..search for this…

.contentLayout .sidebar1

and change the following string below it…

position: relative;
margin:0;
padding:0;
border:0;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
width: 20%;


…change width from 20% to 30%.

Doing so will reset your sidebar to original setting and make your search bar go back to the first line..but it would crop your Summer lineup image and overshoot your Twitter panel. You might even see your banners cropped.

This is because your theme was meant to be used for banners that are 992 px wide and sidebar images that are 169 px wide. So if anything, I would suggest you change your widths to these.

Hope this helps! I have yet to figure as to why your special characters don’t show.

Oh, thank you. ^^ Unfortunately I’m still trying to catch up with Bakemonogatari (like…wayyy catch up), but it’s okay, spoilers are fine with me. xD Cause I had no idea what you were talking about.

Yup, the colors are what I loved so much about the Umi Monogatari scan. It was so clear and vibrant and just pure love~ I agree though, the animation is just beautiful altogether. Really (about no one caring)? The first impressions post is like on of the most viewed posts for some reason. :/

Oh, I’m glad you liked the banners! That makes me very happy. :^_^: Haha, that’s why I loved the picture of Beato so much. Her awesomeness is shown so well there.

Thanks for the support~ I’ve been wanting the join the forums but I’m just too shy. xD But I’ll be sure to check it out for some tips and clues. I’m always too shy to ask someone directly besides my uncle; otherwise, if he doesn’t know, I use support forums. xDD

Awww, thank you! :yay: I apologize about the audio quality though. I used my mp3 player’s mic so…yeah.

But again, thank you! :] Hehe, here they are! *somehow gives Oreos across the internet*

7: Thanks! And thank you for noticing the to-fix list and helping out! For the special characters, I don’t think it’s a plugin problem because I put the blogroll in before I installed any plugins, but I’ll tell you anyways. XD

(It looks like a lot now that I listed them…^^;;) And don’t worry, you don’t sound intrusive at all. I’m really appreciative and glad I’m able to get some help, actually.

Lea: Thank you! Lol, it’s alright. It’ll take time to get people to notice that BMC has moved anyways.

It feels good but a little scary, haha. Aw, well I got some help from my uncle. But I get where you’re coming from. I probably don’t feel as guilty because he always helps out whether I’m willing to take it our not. But if it was from someone else besides him, I’d probably feel the same. But thanks (on everything else)!

Aww, if you’d like, when I have some downtime from blogging and school I could do the coding part of custom smileys for you. (Lol I just noticed we were talking about how it feels to get help and now I’m offering it. xD)

Yeah they are…but it’s okay! I would’ve thought they were pigs too because they were pink and have small ears.

T-they’re bunnies aren’t they? *fails at recognizing animals*
Sorry for the spam. orz||
Lea´s last blog ..Axis Powers Hetalia – Episode 27

I didn’t even notice until the tweets… gah. I’m just not that good on noticing things lately… orz

Congrats on the new blog~!! :’DDDD
It feels good to move away from wordpress huh? Kinda weird at first, but it’s a good thing. ^___^
Looks like you’re doing good so far. And congrats on being able to pull this together by yourself. I got help with mine and.. trust me… it made me feel so guilty and depressed. =_=;;
Such a pretty blog so far~! I love your banners! Especially the Hetalia one… haha. XDDDD

C-custom smilies… lucky. I wish I could install custom smilies. But if it has to do with coding…. I’m out. Haha. orz||
The piggies~! They’re so cute though. Haha~ :DDDDD

Everything seems to be fine at my end when I’m looking at my blog name. Then again, Exce7ion was used in place of the other one. So I’m going to type my blog name with special characters and see if you can read it.

?Xce7ion

Oh damn…I see the question mark too. I suspect plugins…what are you using?

Sorry if I sound too intrusive. 7´s last blog ..Endless Eight – A Startling Revelation

I have yet to hear your piano piece…but I’m at work as I’m writing this comment, so I’ll save that for later .

Now for your to-fix list.

1. Special characters

Everything seems to be fine at my end when I’m looking at my blog name. Then again, Exce7ion was used in place of the other one. So I’m going to type my blog name with special characters and see if you can read it.

?Xce7ion

2. Fonts

Go to your style.css and edit line number 1377 called font-family. Replace Tahoma with a font of your liking (Arial might look nice). Be sure to include the apostrophes

3. Search bar

I would need you to make the search bar visible so I can take a look at it.

Ah, and I’m jealous again that someone else can rotate their banners. That really makes me want to move, too, but I probably wouldn’t have too much time to make banners anyway. Phooey.

Anyways, onto the banners!
I like the brushes you used for the Sora no ManiMani one. It looks very nice. ^^

Ah, and I like how you used the dashed lines for the Bakemonogatari one. It’s simple, true, but it reminds me of the episodes with Mayoi, even though it doesn’t really pertain to Hitagi. Hope I didn’t spoil it or anything but if I didn’t, I think you know what I mean (coughshotsofthegroundcough).

The Kanon one isn’t too bad. I would like to see it bigger, though, cuz then you can get the full blast of her EVIL~ aura.

Oooo, I really like the vibrant, bright colors of the next Umi banner (I’m currently on that one right now, hehe). Nevermind if no one else cares about this anime, the animation is absolutely breath-taking and visuals hard to ignore. I’m glad someone else liked it enough to make a banner out of it. I would’ve but no time. Poo.

Ah, the YWGM one…I think I like this best out of all your current banners. Though I like them all because they’re all so awesome and pretty but this one, not only because I like the effort you put into it making it look so cool (blue matrix ftw~) but you really related with the character. Bravo. *clapsclaps* Awesome. ^^

OMG. YAY. You made a TYM banner. You earn my eternal love for the rest of the summer. *GLOMPS YOU* <3 …wait, that doesn’t make sense. xDDD;;;

As for the rest of them, kyaa, I love them all. That Umineko pic has got to be one of the best images for the series ever. Beato looks “Bwuahahaha!” awesome and omg, there’s Bern! 8DDD

And the Sakura one~ <3333
I love the clouds and the grass. Plus, two images of Sakura = automatic win. I like how it really works out with the rest of the banner. Her costume being blue to match the sky and you get to see Sakura in her casual outfit as well. Plus, daisies~ <3

Aaand, back to the blog. Self-hosting does sound tough but I’m sure you can do it. ^^ And if you need help with blog coding, you can always go the kokidokom forums since they have threads that help you with that stuff. At least that’s the place I would go to first since I don’t know much else. Or you can ask someone. It’s up to you (don’t ask me, I know nothing! xD; ). lol, this is why I don’t want to move. Coding’s such a pain in the rear. :P
Too bad about the characters but the font seems fine to me.

UWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! 8DDDDDDDDDDD
You played so beautifully! Omg, now I have to download this song and bring it to my piano teacher. But it was wonderful! I can’t really tell if there were any mistakes since the audio is so fuzzy but even so, they seemed very minor. Kaaahhh, I’m jealous. Should motivate myself to play like you. XD

& I’m glad the recital went well. ^^

Yea, um, I think that’s it. Sorry, I can’t really comment on the plug-ins and technical details since I suck at that stuff but again, congrats on the move and will be looking forward to your posts as always! ^^ Now where’s my Oreos. LOL xDDD
Xiao Jie´s last blog ..Where has Xiao been? 8(

Yes, rotating banners are awesome. X) And thanks again!

CSS for blogs are so confusing . But I love your theme, and that’s great it has theme options. I love theme options, it just makes things so much easier. But unfortunately this theme doesn’t have any. :(

Nah, you don’t sound noobish. I was really stuck on custom smileys as well. I had to try several different plugins until I final settled with the Smiley Themer toolbar (but looking at page sources helped too…xD).
Anyways, you have to also install the Smiley Themer if you install the toolbar. It’ll come with lots of smiley packs, but I honestly wanted them, well, custom. You can download packs and put them into folder where the rest of the smiley packs are, or make your own (well, I think you can download them, I’ve only tried making the pack myself). Little tutorial ahead~ I’ll try my best to explain how I did it…
First you’ll have to make a folder in your computer for the smiley pack. Put all of the images of the smileys that you want to use inside that folder (I downloaded them all from anikaos and put them in). Next, you’ll have to open either notepad, or whatever program you use to write .php files. I called the file package-config.php. For the actual code, it’ll be like this:
< ?php

?>
You’ll have to make a new line for each smiley, and of course, replace the examples up above. The second one is actually an example of one one line on my code. Be careful though, you might already know this but file names are case sensitive. In the end you should have a long list of all of the smiley codes and files (you can look at the other smiley pack codes for more examples). Then once you’ve saved it, in your FTP manager, make a folder in the Smiley Themer folder for your pack. Inside, upload all of the images of the smileys and the .php file. Then it should be in your list of smiley packs in the Smiley Themer. Just check your smiley pack and it should be custom now. I hope that helps! If you have any questions about feel free to ask because I know I’m terrible at explaining things.

Rin: Thank you!

Hehe, dark colors are really cool, aren’t they? Thanks! Oh it’s okay, I absolutely adore smileys too. So as long as it isn’t, you know, outside of the reasonable amount of smileys (like, it takes up more than one line), feel free to use them. After all, that’s what they’re for!

Thank you~ :]

Azura: Thank you! That’s what makes me so happy about the move…the freedom~

And, thank you bunches! I’m glad the mistakes didn’t interfere too much for you. :]

kanzeon: Yay! *cheers back* Thank you~ :]

It really is…x_x But it’s also so much fun for me! Haha, same here. I guess simple always works great! Thank you

Aww, thank you! That means so much coming from you~ Hitagi fierce-ness ftw! xD Haha, yes the fanart is awesome…now I just have to find credits. Dx

Ooh yes! Custom smileys ftw~ Lol yay for my smileys’ best buddies! The title for them according to the resource site is Pink Usagi, but I love cute blobs of cuteness so much more. xDD

Thank you!!~
