    hi…
    I am using your beautiful bluebird theme’s structure for my Dear Holy Spirit Blog. I edited the stylesheet but the font face wouldn’t change no matter what I did. Is there someplace hidden I can get it to change to Arial? I’m tearing my hair out! I’m stuck.

  2. Randa Clay on December 13, 2007 9:21 am

    Hi there - it’s not changing because you’ve indicated Arial as your “second choice” font. You’ve listed it after Georgia, and you need to list it first. See below:

    font: 62.5% Arial, Georgia, Veranda; /* Resets 1em to 10px */

    Hi Randa, I just wanted to stop and thank you for your lovely themes. (I’m using a modified version of your 2 column bluebird theme.) :)

    Well done on getting included in ProBlogger’s list of Remarkable (and Free) Themes over the weekend. Much deserved recognition.

    I’ve been using the 3-column version of the theme for about a month now and I love it. I did notice today that my blogroll is not on the page and I’d like to add it to one of the columns. I’ve looked through my dashboard and looked for widget to add it, but I’m coming up with no luck.

    What do I need to do to have the Blogroll display?

  10. Randa on February 14, 2008 8:53 am

    Janet- are you using sidebar widgets to control the sidebars? Look in Presentation/Widgets, and you should see the sidebars there and the widgets below to fill them. You’ll have to transfer over any customization you’ve done to the sidebar into some text widgets of course. Ping me an e-mail through the contact form at randaclay.com if you need help. :)

    Hi - I LOVE your Bluebird theme and am using it at agreenerbaby.com. I have some weird issue where explorer is moving my sidebars WAY left. Any ideas?
    Thanks so much in advance.

    I noticed that http://twitter.com/ is using your bird logo, but they don’t seem to have you credited. I thought I would give you a heads up if it is something. Feel free to delete this comment. :)

  13. Paula on March 18, 2008 12:57 pm

    How beautiful and just what I would like to use on my blog site…however it’s on blogger…anyway to change this use for that blog program? Thanks in advance, and again Beautiful Work.

  14. Randa Clay on March 18, 2008 2:39 pm

    Miriam - the bird was purchased from iStockPhoto, so it’s not my illustration. Thanks though, for pointing it out, just in case.

    Paula - while it would be possible to convert this into a Blogger theme, it’s not something I have time to do in the coming month or so. Very swamped with work, etc. I will keep it in mind though! Thanks for your comment!

    Very nice theme :) is possible to have an adsense optimized version?

  16. AmandaL on March 19, 2008 3:28 pm

    I’ve been using the 3-column version of this theme for the past month, and while it looks fantastic in Firefox and Safari, it looks like crap in IE (version 6, at least). I haven’t changed column widths or anything, so I don’t know what’s causing the problem… help, please?

  17. Utkarsh Kukreti on March 22, 2008 11:49 am

    Well this theme has some problems when viewing in IE6, and as IE6 is still the maximum used browser, I think you should make the theme compatible.

  18. Randa Clay on March 22, 2008 12:09 pm

    I agree, and I will be updating the theme very soon. Thanks!

  19. Piter on March 25, 2008 1:38 pm

    THANKS for all your work on WordPress and good luck on your new projects.

    Very nice theme.
    Simple yet elegant!

  21. Mary L on March 26, 2008 4:19 pm

    I like your bird so much! it’s amazing theme.

    But 43% of guests at my site use IE6.0, and sidebars are invisible for them (because of it moves down)…

  22. Tempest on March 31, 2008 10:11 am

    Just installed your theme and *love it*. However, I was wondering if there was an easy way to get the post “tags” to show up as well as the categories?

  23. Randa on April 4, 2008 3:40 pm

    Regarding the sidebar moving down in IE6 - I have not been able to reproduce that problem, and neither has anyone else I’ve asked to check on their system. No matter what width my window is, in IE6 the sidebars remain as they should be. If someone has a site where that is happening, please comment here and include the URL - thanks!

  24. Randa on April 4, 2008 3:43 pm

    Tempest - if you want to display the tags, check this page in the WordPress codex. Insert the piece of code in the Main Index Template file and also I assume you’ll want to insert them in the Single Post file in the same place.

    I’m getting spam bombed on this post, and need to turn off comments for a little while to see if I can get it to stop. If you have a question about the Bluebird theme, you can contact me via my contact form on my main site. Thanks!
