Then I used layers and added another image over the top of that - and made the colours burn so you could see the transition between the red and the white backgrounds. If you just over-type that file then you should not need to change any of the code Hi Bill,

If you change
/wp-content/themes/xMark/images/bodybg.png

Then you can change the header image - (The Circle with the X in it) - I then used paint .net to make a circle of the same general colour as the normal x and then put it over the top of the X to get rid of it. Then I used layers and added another image over the top of that - and made the colours burn so you could see the transition between the red and the white backgrounds.

If you just over-type that file then you should not need to change any of the code

I recently started blogging and chose the X-mark theme. I have seen yours and another with the "X" removed and some other logo added. Can you tell me where to add the code? I am not too proficient with programming yet, but I can find the various sections of code within the theme editor. Thanks, Bill Dupray www.patriotroom.com Very informative post.

Alsthough above I mention replacing code - this was from the plugin's website, what you really should be doing is : < ?php if (function_exists('the_content_limit')) { the_content_limit(1100, "<br />< - Click Here To Read The Complete Post ->"); } else { the_content(__('Continue Reading »')); } ?> so if you deactivate the plugin then you will not get problems and it will display as normal. Looks as though the changes were more painful than they first appeared. UPDATE:

Alsthough above I mention replacing code - this was from the plugin’s website, what you really should be doing is :

< ?php
if (function_exists('the_content_limit')) {
the_content_limit(1100, "
< - Click Here To Read The Complete Post ->“);
} else {
the_content(__(’Continue Reading »’));
}
?>

so if you deactivate the plugin then you will not get problems and it will display as normal.

Much clearer, things actually line up correctly now, just fix your donation graphic and you will attain perfection. This theme is such an improvement over your previous choice.
