You images is missing the css class for alignment. To edit your post, switch to HTML in your editor and change

Reply to this commentIt’s neat! Thanks.
Reply to this commentAny idea how to change header.php file so that header would have category links (on top) instead of pages?
HTML-Editor? And when i start to use Live Writer? WYSIWYG - no Classes for CSS…
STandard Code for left pictures is:
without any classes. Why does this thme dont support that?
Reply to this commentMhh, no code posting allowed?
img height=”80″ src=”http://planet-chrome.de/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/chrome.jpg” width=”80″ align=”left”
Reply to this comment@Rick: Do you still need the “Home” tab? Need to know as the code will be different with and without the “Home” tab.
@caschy: I mean switch to html mode in the wordpress editor.

These css classes are for use in the new wordpress “add a media” uploader.
Reply to this commenthttp://img529.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mediauploadqc2.png
If you have no use for these, you can delete them in the style.css file, from line 388 to 440. Then you can use back your previous method of aligning images.
thx!
Reply to this commentNice template clean and viral
Reply to this commentI’m converted for Turkish. Thanks so much!
Reply to this comment@Rick: Do you still need the “Home” tab? Need to know as the code will be different with and without the “Home” tab.
No need for “home” tab, just the categories. I tried to change the code myself but something is always wrong…no skills:)
Reply to this commentGreat theme, simple and beautiful design. I take great satisfaction.
Reply to this commentThis is great!!!! However, making different themes to change that look was my purpose these days…
Reply to this comment@Rick: here you go
<div class='headermenu span-24'>
Reply to this comment<ul>
<?php
$menupages = get_all_category_ids();
$menupagesnumber = count($menupages);
$menupagescount = 1;
foreach ($menupages as $menupage) :
$category = get_category($menupage[0]);
if ($category->parent == 0) {
?>
<li
<?php
if ($menupagescount==1) {
echo ' class="first"';
}
if (is_category($menupage[0]) && $menupagescount==1 ) {
echo ' id="firstcurrent"';
}
if (is_category($menupage[0]) && $menupagescount!=$menupagesnumber ) {
echo ' id="current"';
}
if ($menupagescount==$menupagesnumber) {
echo ' class="last"';
}
if (is_category($menupage[0]) && $menupagescount==$menupagesnumber) {
echo ' id="lastcurrent"';
}
$menupagescount++;
?>>
<a href="<?php echo get_category_link($menupage[0]) ?>" title="<?php echo get_cat_name($menupage[0]) ?>"><?php echo get_cat_name($menupage[0]) ?></a></li>
<?php } else {$menupagesnumber--; } endforeach; ?>
</ul>

Reply to this commentThank you so much. If you have time make a premium (paid) version that looks like iGoogle?
Reply to this commentI don’t think I know enough ajax to clone igoogle
Reply to this commentThis would be a neat theme but it has one major flaw.
Reply to this commentThe best thing in Google Chrome is that it takes the least amount of desktop space and leaves the most to view a page. On my screen (1280×1024, not a rare dimension these days) this theme shows large empty spaces on both sides - which I personally hate anyways. If you could remove that, the theme would be awesome.
1280×1024 is not rare these day, but 1024×768 is still the base resolution, for now
Reply to this commentGreat job on the theme Genkisan. Clean, sharp, and reminds me of a certain browser (weird, eh?). Appreciate the hard work by the way. Made a few alterations and everything is looking good.
Reply to this commentNice, especially using the description bar for the post meta
Reply to this commentGenkisan, shouldn’t a theme be resolution independent?
Reply to this commentFixed vs fluid.. I guess it comes down to personal preference
Reply to this commentI use this themes, it’s very nice.
But on under post I can’t see “read more” text.
thanks for answer before.
Reply to this commentaddiehf: Issue resolved. You can download the new zip package and re-upload style.css, index.php, single.php and page.php
Reply to this commentThanks, it’s work now.
But I have 1 question again:
“how to display author link on post [up/down it good same], because on my site many author? And can sidebar made two?”
Reply to this commentYou can refer to this article on how to display author link

For 2 column sidebar, I’m available for hire, do contact me here
Reply to this commentGreat theme! Simple and crisp, yet powerful. Just a question for you: How do you exclude pages with it? It appears that you don’t have the wp_list_pages() in your header code.
Reply to this commentYou can modify the query at line 27 in header.php
…AND post_parent = 0 AND ID!=4 AND ID!=5 ORDER BY menu_order ASC…
Add as many “AND ID!=xx” as required where xx is the page id.
Reply to this commentThanks for the great theme
Reply to this commentHi, any idea why the page navigation tabs appear distorted in IE7 on my site?
Reply to this commentI suspect your header.php is missing a “>” character.
Look for
Else replace your header.php with the original.
Reply to this commentThanks Genkisan, my mistake, all fixed now!
Reply to this commentNice theme, I love it! Keep up a good job
Reply to this commentJust fantastic, cant wait to get it up on our site.
Reply to this commentIt’s nice that someone finally made some nice skins. I will have to use them on my blog some day.

Hi…comment security code is not displayed?? What do i do?
Reply to this commentComment security code? Are you using some plugins? Please check with the plugin author.
Reply to this commentHi, Congratulations for this magnificent theme.
Reply to this commentI’ve been around adsense code to insert a light and none intrusive ads only after the first post (right after the “Fill” and “Comment” and right above the horizontal line division). Searching some WP forums for samples and trying different variations I can’t be able to do what I really want. On most occasions the ad is stucked with the tittle of the second post (after the ). Appreciate any help with this?
Eduardo, can you do a screencap so that I can get a clearer picture?
Reply to this commentThanks for replying Genkisan, I took a screenshot with the google advertisement banner on my localhost testing area but haven’t your email to send the 80Kb jpg to you. I could point you the website (it’s on a early phase) but without the adsense code.
Reply to this commentThanks again,
Eduardo
you can upload the screenshot to tinypic.com. But a live url with the adsense code would be the best option.
Reply to this commentThere’s the screenshot… hope this works
[IMG]http://i35.tinypic.com/2sb63yv.jpg[/IMG]
I took the adsense insertion code from http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/adsense/ (text box with the option to appear only under the first post and nowhere else)
Regards
Reply to this commenttrying pasting your adsense code within the postmeta div e.g
Reply to this comment<div class="postmeta">Filed in <?php the_category(', ') ?> with <?php comments_popup_link('0 Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit', ' | '); ?><br />ADSENSECODE</div>
Right on target.
Reply to this commentThank you for the support Genkisan.
Thanks for such a neat theme! I am just about converting one of my static sites to WP, so the theme sure got in handy, thansk again!

Hi,
Noticed a few bugs in v1.1.
1. Icons “home”, “bookmark” and “feed” won’t show in FF2 (Windows).
2. Tag cloud won’t show. There is a bug in the sidebar.php:
Reply to this commentinstead of
the code snippets are lost in my previous comment (it’s not clear what tags are allowed in the comments. I’ll try to replace angle brackets with codes):
Reply to this comment<? wp_tag_cloud(); ?> instead of
<?php wp_tag_cloud(); ?>
Thanks Denis for the heads up.
Reply to this commentFixed both bugs. Try re-uploading style.css, header.php and sidebar.php
Wonderful theme. I am using it now. I really love it.
Thank you very much …
Reply to this commentHi,
Reply to this commentCan you please tell me how to remove the HOME tab?
Thanks,

Replace line 26-50 in header.php with
<ul>
Reply to this comment<?php
$menupages = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = 'page' AND post_status = 'publish' AND post_parent = 0 ORDER BY menu_order ASC");
$menupagesnumber = count($menupages);
$menupagescount = 1;
foreach ($menupages as $menupage) :
?>
<li
<?php
if ($menupagescount==1) {
echo ' class="first"'
}
if (is_page($menupage->ID) && $menupagescount==1 ) {
echo ' id="firstcurrent"'
}
if (is_page($menupage->ID) && $menupagescount!=$menupagesnumber && $menupagescount!=1) {
echo ' id="current"'
}
if ($menupagescount==$menupagesnumber) {
echo ' class="last"'
}
if (is_page($menupage->ID) && $menupagescount==$menupagesnumber) {
echo ' id="lastcurrent"'
}
$menupagescount++;
?>>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($menupage->ID); ?>" title="<?php echo $menupage->post_title; ?>"><?php echo $menupage->post_title; ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
I hesitate to use even upgraded versions of Chrome, since my last experience using it (first version) left my computer compromised; have they fixed the security issues beyond all doubt?
Reply to this commentAre you referring to this GoogleChrome theme or the Chrome browser? If you are talking about the theme, mind elaborating on the compromises?
Reply to this commentVery nice theme, thanks for making it available.
Reply to this commentThe only issue I’ve seen so far is that a numbered list (ol) has the first (most significant) digit chopped off (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 1, 2, …) on Firefox 3.0.4 on Ubuntu. Haven’t tried another browser yet. May need a margin or indent or something. I’ll try to fiddle with the CSS.
Reply to this commentThanks for the heads up. You can add the following css to fix it.
Reply to this comment.content ul, .content ol {
padding-left: 1em;
}
Can you ad a box of say six squares for ads in Googlechrome?
Reply to this commentI think I’ve seen this off the right side of thescreen a 3 inch by 4 inch or so box with six squares used for ads.
Is this a widget?
Abyone know how to do this?
Try the WP125 Ad Management plugin

Thank you very much!
You are a genius!
Now, i just need insert a image in footer band.
By the way, congratulations for your Work and atention!
Reply to this commentGenkisan
To put a image n footer, just need to do the same you said to header. Thanks a lot! Very easy!
Now, i’m trying two things:
First: When i translate comments.php to portuguese, i have this:
Before: Leave a Comment
After (Portuguese): Deixe um comentário
What appears in web: Deixe um coment rio
Do you know that?
Second: Is it possible include this?
See this: http://i35.tinypic.com/1zo9agz.jpg
Consists in include a background blue in title post. Am i dreaming?
Bye bye, Thank you again and sucess!
Reply to this commentFor 1st one, not sure as I’m not familiar with wordpress localisation/tranlsation.
For 2nd one, you can see how it’s done for the bloginfo('description') in header.php. If you need help, I’m available for hire.
