		<description>I realised I placed my comments on the wrong page...sorry about that.

This is a great theme.  What I was wondering was if there was an easy way to make it a bit more web2.0.

On the sidebars,where the widgets are, how would we change them from square/rectangles to rounded corners?

Thank you</description>

		<description>Great theme! I've started using in on my web log.
 
One minor note: the part in the docs ( http://blogdesignsolutions.com/docs/ ) on the Share-this plugin seems outdated...?</description>

		<description>One of your hints to another person suggested that a plugin may require some "stylizing" to make it work in your theme.

I don't know CSS but I used the FireFox extension "FireBug" (awesome!) to examine and edit your stylesheet in realtime and finally found a set of CSS hacks to make the wp-polls widget display properly in xMark 2.

I added these to style.css:

/* Hacks by shadow */
.wp-polls input {width:1em;}
.wp-polls .Buttons {background-color:#F3F6F8;border:1px solid #C8C8C8;width:4em;}

Cheers and happy new year!</description>

		<description>Lisa,

I haven't solved the WP-Polls widget width problem yet, despite some mild hackery on the stylesheet.

But, I wanted to say "thanks" for a really well-designed theme. I have a few blogs that use different themes and I've borrowed some of the CSS tags you used in xMark to make other themes behave properly. The "overflow:hidden" tag was just what I needed to make tag cloud items from spilling over the edge on another theme.

I'm an old-school HTML nerd, all of this CSS is still "magic" to me. :)

Cheers,

		<description>The WP-Polls plugin doesn't like xMark 1.01 or xMark 2.00. When I use either of these themes, the checkbox and radio buttons are REAALLLLY wide -- they take up the entire width of the widget column and are not usable.

Anyone else notice this? I can't seem to figure this one out. Switching to other themes works, but I like xMark on this website.

Cheers,

		<description>Hi Lisa
I read your wordpress for dumies and was surprised to find that you also discussed MU in there. Thanks. It was great and a very useful resources for newbies and more experienced user of wordpress.

I have a question? Is it possible to integrate new blog creation with aweber? This will help me to create a new list at aweber and I don't have to try and use the WPMU Mailer (that does not seems to work for me).</description>

		<description>Regarding comment #54 and #57
I have just been experimenting in forcing a minimum with for both right side bars, forcing min width of 200px. If I use min-width then it works fine if the whole page is bigger than that. But if I run it with 1024x768 then the rightmost side bar gets moved below all posts.
The problem is that right now the graphics are cut off at the right side of the widgets, just like your WordPress for dummies is cut off when viewing in 1024.

Would like to set it so both sidebars uses 200 pixels as min width (and also max actually), and the left area uses whatever is left..

Do you have any solutions/suggestions?</description>

		<description>Lisa:

Been a while since I've communicated with you.  I've told a lot of people about your new WP book.  Hope it's selling well for you!

Your theme continues to do well for me and I'm most grateful for having found it.

I am contacting you because I am wondering if you can help me clear up some confusion.  I'm sure you're familiar with the Do Follow plug in?

Up to now, I have not installed this plug in.  But I've read everywhere that by default, WP disables the ability of commentators to link back to their sites after leaving a comment.  When checking the latest posts, at least those that were created AFTER I migrated from Blogger.com to WP (then adopted your theme), the links all work fine.  In fact, the Top Commentators and Recent Comments plugins both display commentator names and links to their sites (as a way of rewarding them for participating).

HOWEVER, when I go back in my archives, especially past the date of the migration, it seems that commentator links have all dimmed, meaning no links to their sites.
I'm puzzled - why is that?

This begs the question:  If by default WP does not allow commentators to leave a link, then why would I need a "Do follow" plugin?

Is there a certain time constraint in the WP program that shuts down commentator links?  If I were to install the Do Follow plugin, will that revive commentator links from the past (esp before the date I moved over from Blogger)?????

Hope you can guide me.

		<description>Hi Lisa. I am having trouble with widgets in the side bar. The widgets keep appearing in 'another' sidebar and distorting my site and it also depends in what order they are in. Being on top position or bottom position can make a difference between displaying correctly and distorting.
Could this be related to my earlier post regarding posting aweber html code.
