How can I make my Wordpress blog the same as my website?

Hi Sean

Your Blog is looking great, but it sounds like a common formatting problem with your Wordpress Blog Theme. With most of the available Themes there are images that are used for backgrounds, headers, and bullets, etc... On your page there is a background image which spans the height of the page to visually seperate the main content from the side navagation called content_faux.gif. This image has a set width, and any new images that you create, which are a different width than content_faux.gif will effect the formatting of your page. The easiest way of fixing this is to make the width and height the same size as the original header that comes with the WordPress Theme. At the moment your header is 800 pixels wide, and to fix this problem try and make your header 698 pixels wide and 200 pixels high which are the same dimensions as the original header.

I hope this has been helpful, and fixes your problem for you.

Hi Sean

The easiest way is probably to change your header to 698 x 200,
but I'll have a look later on today for you to see if i can find an easy work around for this problem. In regards to the the darkish colour on the outside this is because an image called faux.gif (which is 1px high) has a dark blue edge on the left and right side, so first off change this to a colour you want in an image editor, and also you will need to change this part in the style.css.

Change the web colour (#3c5669) to the colour that you want.

body {
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: #3c5669 url("images/faux.gif") 50% 0 repeat-y;
}


I'll get back to you later in the day with a possible solution for you header problem.
