FAQ
Can I convert it to 2-columns?
Simply remove the 2 small sidebars (l_sidebar and r_sidebar) from the sidebar code, and you got a single sidebar to deal with and 2 columns
Can I change the width of the sidebars?
Both the l_sidebar and r_sidebar are 170px wide with 5px padding to easily fit in a 160px wide skyscrapper ad. You can change the width of the sidebars in style.css. Reduce the r_sidebar and increase the width of l_sidebar by the same px.
I do not need to show Blogroll or About?
Simply remove the particular code from the sidebar.
Can I edit the template to suit my needs?
You can edit the css file to blend your content and suit your requirements.
Can I change the link colors?
Sure. see the “a” tags in style.css
My apologies…I think I was missing the initial question…how do we add a logo? I know the answer was already asked, but I need a more “baby step” answer. I know I have to remove the text, but what is the code I put and where? The Header templet? An example of the code needed would be great. Thanks a million!
Nancy – Put anything inside tags
<?php if (is_home()) { ?>
<?php } ?>
and will show only on index pages.
Carl – In header.php, locate the
<a class=”blogtitle” href=”<?php echo get_option(’home’); ?>/”><?php bloginfo(’name’); ?></a>
This is what links to the title. Change it with an image “img” tag and you are done.
please give code example with a image
Help! I accidentally made some changes to the html code while adding in a picture on the sidebar and now i do not know how to get the correct formatting back. Is there anyway I can get the beginning code for the sidebar again? or do you know how i can fix this as i am not very code savvy yet? Thank you so much!
Sarah – Download QuickPress again and you will get the orginal files back.
Thank you! I know that seems like something I should have figured out on my own – sorry! I love your theme. Thank you so much for the support.
A very nice theme. It reminds me of Thesis.
How come it says “copyright” in the CSS, yet it is licenced under the GPL?
Best theme I’ve found so far!
Question: I want the sidebar navigation to show main pages only, not child pages. How do I change the code to arrange that?
@Harwood – This article will help you modify the code as per your requirement.
@Josh – Thesis is a beautiful theme, much better than this theme and is coded by top experts. Quickpress theme is a heavily modified theme based on the default template. You are correct that we need to modify the copyright notice. Thanks.
Hi first of all i will like you to thank you for a very nice template but i am having a issue with it i have good adsense ads on the index page and the sidebar but once you will click on the story to read more the ads are not showing up
can you help me what might be wrong ?

I’ve been using your theme for several of my blogs, but I now notice that none of my pages appear in Google, except the main page of one blog. The privacy settings are set accordingly, and I also use the XML Sitemap plugin. Could you please help me?
Thanks!
Ben – Its is not theme related. Check the Google Webmaster Tools for the problem.
Vikram – I see you ads well on all pages. Clear the cache.
Thanks!
Wonderfull theme!
However, when I try to change to background of the sidebar it is clearly visible that the sidebar isn’t of equal size of the post…
Any suggestions on how to change that?
How do we create an icon that will appear in address bar?
nice template thanx for u..)))))
@Matthijs – you can easily change adjust the width of sidebar, l_sidebar, r_sidebar tags in style.css to change the width as you want.
@js- that is a favicon. You need to create it and upload to your server at the root.
How can i edit the post in a way that when i make a new post under the post it show all the related stories?
can someone help me with that
can’t get the author section at the top of the side bar to change. I can’t just states “you can place author info here. How do I edit that section.
@gadgetboy – Get the related enteries plugin to get related articles beneath the post.
@Mike – Edit the theme sidebar.php (from Design in WP admin) to change that text to whatever you like.

Hi,
I’m new to blogging but getting ready to set up my first one in the next couple of days. I’ve been looking for a good template that’s user-friendly & I’m so glad I found yours; my template prayers were answered…lol!!
Celisse
P.S.
I love all the tips you have on here, I’ve been doing research on blogging 411 for awhile now & I’d definitely rank this site as one of the most helpful of the many I’ve found!
Thanks,
I want to remove space between tonavbar and header.
Please help me.
My blog: http://www.articles2u.com
stockadv – that would change the theme altogether.
Sapras – locate the topbar tag in style.css and change the 20px margin to 0.
hi,
i had installed your them for our blog. however, i am facing difficulties in the same. first of all , the side bar gets distorted when the site/new page opens and only after few seconds it gets corrected. secondly, at many times, the design completely dissappears and only the text shows on the site.. i checked with my hosting and they informed me that distortion has to do with the design and not hosting. can you help me?
I have set my QuickPress-themed site to display post excerpts and I’ve also used tags. Neither of these options are working on my site. Anyone else having this problem?
Hi,
I love your theme and am using it for my blog.
I have 2 questions:
-How can I rotate the images
-When visitors arrive the default is to show the most recent post. Is there a way to have the same post show (instead of the most recent). Or alternatively, to have a page show. Kind of like a home page functionality.
Thanks!
@sandeep – when text only shows, it means the css file is not loaded. Your hosting or net connectivity need to be checked.
@skigreenteam – I see both are working on your site now.
@Kim – You can find many plugins to rotate images. You can select any page to show as homepage from wordpress admin settings.
Thanks for your reply. However, why do the sidebars get distorted when the site is opened for the first time? I can see the black background of the theme instead of the white sidebars.
Another question: How can we remove the black strip which comes on the top of the site (where the home and login/out) links show? I do not like this strip and wanted to remove it.
HI – I’m using your awesome template. Unfortunately I’m new to website building and i can’ tseem to locate how to modify the:
