The site address is http://roughboy.net. I've just turned off Maintenance Mode temporarily so you should be able to get to the site with no problem. I'm in the process of adding content, so will be working on the site throughout most of today.

I did notice one other issue. Sometimes when you click on a post title, the post window doesn't open. You have to scroll a spot or two through the post carousel and go back, then click on the title and the post will open. Is this a little glitch or have I messed something up?

Thanks again for your help.

I am currently still on vacation in Chicago, but I will be releasing several updates to the Folio theme next week.

I will have a look as soon as I get back home tomorrow afternoon.

To change the color of the text in your footer, just add these 2 lines to your style.css file:

#footer p{color:#444444}
#footer p a{color:#666666}

The first line changes the regular text color and the second line changes the color of the links. Just play around with the numbers until you get a color you like.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Color change works perfectly in the footer credit line... Thanks again. I also added a line to get the desired hover color so it would match the balance of the site.

Thanks for all the help and tips guys...

I'm going to tackle the video posting again this weekend. Will let you know if I still run into any problems there.

Love the Folio elements theme. It's exactly what I was seeking. Thank you, Jason. I also have to give a shout out to W P Rayner. Your site is stunning and from your posts I have been able to solve some challenges (most notably w/the background... I didn't think to overlay my logo over the orig 75 image.)

My current challenge is the footer. If there's any way to learn more about coding to get the footer centered?The available plug-ins do not center, and it really is a must if using a footer. Many thanks.

Yes, thanks again to Jason and Press75 for a great theme. Thanks also for the good words HT. Actually concerning the background, I didn't just overlay the logo. I reconstructed the background image using the original Press75 background as a template. It took some doing, mostly to get the gradients correct, but I eventually got it to work.

Concerning the footer I added the necessary code to the footer.php file after the opening line - <?php wp_footer(); ?>. This is the code I added, just change the text and links to suit your needs:

<div id="footer">
    <p>Copyright &copy; 2008&ndash;2009 <a href="http://roughboy.net">Roughboy</a>. All rights reserved. | <class="rss"><a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" title="Syndicate this site using RSS"><acronym title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</acronym> Feed</a> | Proudly powered <span class="low">by</span> <a href="http://www.wordpress.org">Wordpress 2.8</a> and using the Folio Elements theme <span class="low">by</span> <a href="http://www.press75.com/">Jason Schuller & Press75</a></p>
</div>

I'm not a coder so am not sure it's absolutely correct or the most efficient way to do it but it seems to work.

Then in the style.css file I added a footer section following the site header section as follows:

#footer {
float: left;
margin: 10px 0 0 149px;
font-size: .9em;
}

#footer p{color: #444444}
#footer p a{color: #666666}
#footer p a:hover {color: #9d2201}

This controls the formatting of the footer. Alex Mansfield provided the code solution for changing the footer font colors.

Hope that helps.

Just add "text-align:center;" to this:

#footer {
float: left;
margin: 10px 0 0 149px;
font-size: .9em;
}

In the end, this is what it should look like:

#footer {
float: left;
margin: 10px 0 0 149px;
font-size: .9em;
text-align:center;
}

That should center the footer text for you.

I just took a look and I found what I missed earlier (sorry about that). It centered the text inside the footer, but the footer didn't take up the whole width and was aligned to the left. Add "width:100%;" to the footer section to correct that. Here's the final footer section:

#footer {
float: left;
margin: 10px 0 0 149px;
font-size: .9em;
text-align:center;
width:100%;
}

I tested it out and it worked for me. Let us know if you run into any trouble.

It looks like the margin is causing it to move right at least part of the way. There might be more to it than this, but you can try changing "margin: 10px 0 0 149px;" to "margin: 10px 0 0 0;"

If that doesn't do it, could you please provide a link so we can take a look at it? Thanks.
