Tips & Tricks
How do I change the header logo title?
A logo.psd and blox.ttf is included in the psd folder. Edit the psd file, save as logo.gif and upload to the images folder.
How do I add the featured thumbnails to the header gallery?
You can select 5 posts to be featured. For each post,
- Add the “Featured” category.
- Add a custom field with
Name = featuredimage
Value = image url e.g http://yourdomain.com/image.jpg (recommended: 150px by 150px)
My sidebar seems to be cut-off/hidden at the bottom. What now?
Your sidebar might be longer than anticipated.
Open sidebar.js and increase the value of “height =” in line 2.

Wow, nice to see Handycons live! Thanks for choosing it!
My eyes pop when I stumble upon your icons. They are a perfect fit for the theme
Hi,
Just want to leave a note that I LOVE this theme. Great design and I like the funkiness.
Question:
Wanted to make more use of the real estate. How do I widen the width of the body? Could not find it in the stylesheet.
Million thanks.
KA
This theme uses the blueprint css framework, which has a fixed width of 950px. To widen the width, you may have to dig deeper into the framework: http://www.blueprintcss.org/
Thanks for the tip!! Figured out the necessary and right now, it is looking good.
Once again, GREAT theme.
KA
this is really nice theme like website not a blog
Amazing theme, Thank You
Theme installed in my site. Every uploaded image automatically has a “-150×150″ version, so the featured articles were configured quickly.
just to advise you, the footer.php link to this article is broken “http://ericulous.com/2008/11/26/wp-theme-scrapbook/”
Really easy installation, great theme.
Thanks Genkisan
Argh.. thanks for the heads up
Not sure if the issue is with the theme but I have only one page, About, in my blog and the rest are postings.
However, that page is showing up 3 times on the top left hand corner of the theme as well as 3 times are the footer.
I have searched high and low and could not find any information on this. I tried creating a new page and it again showed up 3 times in both the locations I mentioned earlier.
Any suggestion?
KA
This is what I mean:

I tried with a single page on the demo and seems to be ok. What about the links? Are all 3 links pointing to the same page?
Would be better if I can see your blog.
Yes, all the links are pointing to the same page.
I upgraded to 2.6.5 and the problem went away. Not the original intention but hey, that’s great.
Thanks, anyway for looking into this.
KA
Love this theme! I’m working on getting it customized to my own personal look and feel, but it’s just what I was looking for.
Now if I can only figure out how to ad image borders to each post, I’d be a happy man.
Hi sead0g,
if you happen to find the solution, please share. I think it is a great idea as well.
Thanks in advance.
KA
Thanks so much! I’m used it. http://www.rss-ems.com/kendimce
Hi Genkisan,
One funny thing I realised is although I have widen the page on the front page, somehow, even though I implement the same settings on the Page template, the width of the page still doesn’t change. I checked and couldn’t find out what’s the problem. Is there something I am missing?
KA
Ignore this. Found the error. Thanks anyway.
thanks
Wow – love this theme.
Has anyone else changed the width of the sidebar.js? I increased the width to 300, however the content doesn’t fill to fit the new width to the left of the sidebar, it still stays stuck to the right and partially cut off. Any tips?
Right now it is on my test site. Once I work out some kinks I am planning to move it to my main blog.
Again, love it
btw – you can see it here:
http://test.tracyrosen.com
ok – immediately after posting I had an idea. I checked the style.css and saw that the sidebar width was also coded therein. I believe it is now fixed…at least it is for firefox.
Found a bug
I have been using this on my main site for a few days now. Just noticing that directly after a comment is posted I get the comments are closed box without displaying the new comment. If I refresh the page, the comment appears.
How do I redirect the page to a refreshed page once submit is clicked? I looked in comments.php, can’t quite figure it out yet. Anyone else seen this?
Seems ok on my blog and also tested ok at your blog. Maybe a plugin-related issue?
I have not added any new plugins since changing themes and everything worked without a glitch before.
When you tested on my blog did you see a box that said ‘refresh to view your comment’ ? I replaced the ‘Comments are closed’ text with that until it is figured out.
I tested again and I still needed to refresh in order to see the comment. You did not need to do that when you tested?
I see. I did see the ‘refresh to see your comment’ but was expecting a ‘Comments are closed’ msg so I thought things were fine.
Most likely the WP Thread Comment plugin is in conflict with WordPress built in threaded comments. Try disabling the “Enable Ajax Support”.
Thanks so much for your help. I disabled the Ajax support in the plugin settings and all is now well on the leadingfromtheheart planet
Offhand, why would one need the ajax support? Do you know what other effects disabling it has?
I am loving this theme and have received a few compliments on the site redesign already.
Tracy
My guess is ajax in this plugin allows visitors to submit comments w/o refreshing the whole page.
Thanks again. I have one more question. Do you think it is possible to maintain a sidebar without it hiding away? I’m guessing that somewhere in the code it calls on the sidebar.js but can’t find it…
In header.php, delete
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/mootools.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/sidebar.js"></script>
Then in style.css, change
to
What do I delete in header.php? The code did not show up in the comment! Thanks so much
never mind, found it by applying ‘view source’ on this page. Sneaky, I know
yikes!
Does this html work with weblog? It appears that the person who posted a picture of their site above is using weblog. This claims to be a free word press theme yet on wordpress.com it costs .04 a day to publish the HTML…what sites would I be able to use this CSS on???
Thanks.
This theme is meant for self-hosted WordPress blogs.
That is a really awesome wordpress theme! it is really interesting…keep it up….look forward to read more from you.
awesome effects of colors …very nice theme.
Love this theme! I’m working on getting it customized to my own personal look and feel, but it’s just what I was looking for.
Thank you
this is really nice theme like website not a blog. Thank for share
My sidebar doesn’t work for some reason. It just simple doesn’t open when I click. What am I supposed to do to get this thing opening, guys?
What’s your blog url?
I am really glad to have found this theme, but I’m also very new to the theme/website thing. How do I customize “scrapbook” and replace with the name of my site.
Nevermind, reading the tips&tricks is fundamental.
thanks you very much, i use wordpress blog,and i find lot of wordpress themes,your themes are beatiful
Hello!
Thanks for awesome theme! But I have a little problem….the sidebar dont want to open…
I dont even know how to solve this problem
please, help
p.s. sorry for my english
Seems ok on my IE/Firefox/Chrome. What browser are you using and is javascript enabled? Is the sidebar demo working on your side? Would be easier if you have the scrapook theme activated.
thanks for reply, Genkisan!
I activeted the theme.
Yesterday I tested this theme on different computers in Firefox/Opera/IE…but it doesn`t working…
also I tried to open sidebar on other hosting (created for testing) and it working on…but I don`t want to change a hosting…
can`t even imagine how to fix this problem…(
p.s. JS was enabled
The theme uses mootools.js, which seems to crash with prototype.js. Most likely one of your plugins is loading prototype.js.
Thank you for advise.
The problem was in plugin “Lightbox 2″. I deactivated it and sidebar is working now!
THANK YOU for GREAT theme!
awesome effects of colors, very good theme
Hi!
How do I do to get date stamp in posts? I would like to have it at the same place as the time.

In index.php or single.php, change “the_time” function to your liking.
