  Dear Ed

  Your theme felt just right for the message that I tried to convey and I love its look and feel!

  I’m wondering whether the skewed looking cloud tag is a problem of your theme or of Wordpress.

  I’d appreciate you letting me know!

  Also, when I change the capital letters in the tags, the cloud dosn’t take any notice. Could that possibly be changed?

  Many thanks!

  I’m just curious about the location of the photo used in the above Ocean Mist theme. I have had others comment on how beautiful it is as well, and am just wondering about its location. Where was the photo taken?

  @Sabine: Unfortunately, the theme as it is has not been designed or tested for tag-clouds. There is a new version of Ocean Mist in the works and I’ll try and ensure tag-clouds are catered for in the future…

  @Justin: The default header image supplied with Ocean Mist is of the coast of Portugal, taken by Rexfarucao

  I love your theme and think that it would be even better with a random image header option.

  About the photo… just a correction:
  It’s from Portugal, but not the coast of Portugal.

  It’s from the isle of São Jorge, Azores, Portugal… i know this beacause i live there

  Wonderfull theme, it’s the one i have at wordpress.

  Congrats,
  Bruno from the photo of the theme

  @Bruno: Thanks for the correction & congratulations for living in such a beautiful place. I’ll have to visit some day…

  Oh, THANKS, Ed, Justin and Bruno! Now we know where the clouds were photographed and we will get functioning tag clouds!

  My greatest wish for my blog is to put a Google map in. Can that possibly be part of a theme or is that up to Wordpress?

  I understand it can be done if you run wordpress.org and do your own hosting which, of course, I don’t want to do. Meanwhile, I don’t understand the ‘border line’ between themes and WP.

  Thanks for enlightening me!

  Ed,
  I love the theme. I was wondering if you could tell me how to make the pagetabs on the header show subpages when a mouse is over it?

  Thanks so much,
  Scott

  Hi Ed,

  Congratulations on this beautiful theme you made. I still don’t understand how all this great work can be free of charge, but hey, I’m not complaining. I actually use your theme on a blog I’m currently creating, and I have two questions:
  - When i put an image in a text widget for the sidebar, how can I center it? I’ve tried align=”center” but that doens’t work.
  - I’ve looked at your css-file but it’s a bit overwhelming for me. Do you have a page online where I can read exactly which fonts and colours are used throughout the theme (text, backgrounds), so that I can align rss-content with it?

  Many thanks and keep up the good work!
  Cheers,
  Stefan

  Hi Ed,

  let me first say thank you for both the Ocean Mist and the Autumn Concept themes.
  I do have a small problem with both of them (maybe it’s more a problem with CSS in general): On a page that contains several images, I end up with text and images in a strange layout. Here is an example:
  http://khk.net/wordpress/2007/07/05/pretzel-baking/

  Can you please let me know how I can get a more consistent layout that does put every image into a new paragraph.

  Thanks so much for your work,
  Karl Heinz

  Figured it out… I did some research on CSS and created a new class with float set to “none”. This gets rid of the text next to the images.

  Hi, Ed

  I really love your theme. I find it beautiful and elegant.
  Any plans to make the blogger version of it?

  I am trying to use the Ocean Mist and so far pretty good. I am not able to use the search widget though for any thing but the monthly archive. Is there another way to do more general searches?
  Thanks

  Ed

  I must say this is a beautiful template. I’ve been using it on my wordpress.com site (badbirdz2.wordpress.com) and now customizing it on my own site (www.woodcreeper.com). I really like the widgets and the clean bright look of the template… great work, and thanks!

  I do have one request though. At the end of each post (both in the index.php as well as in single-post view) you have a READ MORE button that always appears. I’d like to remove it, since most of my posts are not long enough to warrant a tag. I tried commenting it out, but when I do, if I do need to use the tag, the intended tag does not perform (it simply truncates the post at the point where the tag would be, but doesn’t provide a READ MORE button). Is there a way to code it so the READ MORE button only appears when I use the tag in my post?

  Thanks for your help.

  Cheers

  Hello Ed,
  Beautiful template. I am trying to embed a flash .swf file into the “mainpic” position in the header, but am not having any luck doing it. I finally gave up after three days — the farthest I got was that the flash movie didn’t load — and commented out the required flash javascript and embedding code in the header.php file in frustration. I couldn’t leave the website in non-working condition because it is a live site. But as a result, I’m stuck using a rather unwieldy and pixelated animated gif in its place. Do you have any suggestions? I’d appreciate any advice.
  Thanks so much.

  Hi Ed,

  I really like this theme and installed right away.
  After i posted the first blogs and clicked the “read full entry” button i found out that everything that is aligned on the right hand side on the front page is located at the bottom on the left hand side.

  Am i doing something wrong here?

  Many thanks!
  Regards Gerard
