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?

Ed Merritt says:
@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

Ed Merritt says:
@Bruno: Thanks for the correction & congratulations for living in such a beautiful place. I’ll have to visit some day…
1st March 2008 at 7:59 pm
Sabine says:
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,

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

Karl Heinz Kremer says:
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.

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
David

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

Oli says:
Gerard, I too found the same problem. For me it was because I had a text widget with a picture link to my rss feed. This has never been a problem with any other theme, but it seems to break this one.
Ed, I love your theme. It’s beautiful, but there seems to be a bunch of odd issues with it.
1. The problem mentioned above is a big one.
2. Pictures seem to force justify to the left and sometime make text squeeze in the sliver beside.
3. The ‘read more” button appears the same on posts without a more tag, meaning there is nothing more to read.
I look forward to any future revisions you make of this theme and will totally be keeping an eye out for any future designs you make
take care,
-Oli

Oli says:
Oh, and 4. the Category listing at the bottom of the page displays even categories that have no posts in them, yet the one in the sidebar is smart enough to discard these. Why is this?

The 'sell photos online' Dude says:
Hi,
Great theme and thanks so much…
Do you have a page with additional details about this so we can learn more?
Also it says it is Widget ready and when I go into WordPress (2.3.2) > Presentation > Widgets it says ‘no sidebars defined.’ So, how do I ‘make’ this theme widget ready? I thought it already was? What else do I need to do to make the widget show up? Hope you can help… Thanks so much for the great theme…. Keep up the good work, you’re a genius.

I apologize for heaping on complaint, but the way you do images conflicts with http://alexrabe.boelinger.com/2008/04/26/lightview/ . The default theme & K2 work, for instance, but not Ocean Mist. Thanks, if you happen to be able to fix this while working on your next update. Unfortunately my CSS skills are rather limited, so I don’t think I can help you very much.

Hello Ed,
Congratulation for your work, your theme is wonderful ! I use it for my traveling blog ! Thank you very much !
Maybe i have an older version because the main picture is a coast woth rocks in the sea, not the one of portugal. I’m still wondering : Where does this picture come from ???? I’m in new zealand and i see very similar view, is it from here ???
Please tell me ! Everybody is asking me, and i’m really curious as well ! If it’s in nz i want to go to see it !
Thank you again !

Thanks for the awesome themes. I did notice that sidebar.php was using a deprecated function (get_linksbyname). I corrected it in my install by using the wp_list_bookmarks function string (from your sidebar2.php file). Before I made this modification, a number “0″ was appended to each of my links in the sidebar. Works fine now. Thanks again!

Ed, thank you so much for the Ocean Mist template. It’s brilliant! I’ve used it for my blog at http://www.sojournalist.com, though not with the ease for which I had hoped. A few mods to the coding changed it, though, and I am very grateful.

Hi Ed, thanks for this great theme.
I’m planning to use it for a new website i’m working in, but i have a problem with NextGen Gallery plugin in Internet Explorer (Wordpress 2.6). When you click on a gallery, the flash doesn’t display the images in the right place of the screen, it seems to be a problem related to CSS, it works ok with other themes i’ve tried with.
Can you give me some hint about what can be a posible solution ?

Hi Ed,
I love Ocean Mist! I recently upgraded to WP 2.6.5 and would just like to verify with you that Ocean Mist is compatible with this latest WP version. I’m having trouble with the upgrade, and was hoping to rule out ‘theme compatibility’ from the list of potential problems.
Thank you!!

Ed – I fixed the problem with the upgrade. Ocean Mist is beautifully compatible with WP 2.6.5! YEA!!!

Patric of Real Estate License Direct says:
Just wanted to thank you for the theme. I run numerous websites in the real estate industry and plan to use this theme on a few of my upcoming projects. I really like the simplicity, finding a common ground between attractive, simple and efficient is very difficult to do, but you have hit the nail on the head with this one!
Thanks

Paul says:
personally, i still like the previous version of ocean mist. the current version has big date on the left side of each post. and even as i commented on php, the breaks between each posts became a line, not the old fashioned bar. The new version did not seem to take the best of previous version of being simple and let readers focus on the post itself.
one suggestion on ‘next page button’. I think it’s best to put the ‘read more’ at the end of index page, not many will notice a next page button on the top after they read down to the end of page. Please let me know how to add a ‘read more’ button/link at the end of index page for the earlier version on ocean mist. I will really appreciate that!

I just have this small problem – random header rotation. It worked brilliantly for me at first, but after I started messing with it, templates etc, it just shows the same header over and over again. Any ideas on that?

Eddie says:
I am trying to use it, but when creating a new page the text is right on the border of the new page, so it doesnt look very graceful, the main page, latest news looks ok, but when I add about us, contact us pages the text sits from side to side on the border edges instead of having a small tab space in to create an indent, basically I am trying to make it look like a letter, instead of wriing from the edge to edge of the paper (if you understand what I mean)
thanks for any advice

But when I’ve downloaded Ocean Mist 2.0 and set up the view of site it is Parse error:
syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home2/………………./ocean_mist_2/functions.php on line 12
When I tried to do Ocean Mist 1.2 the same Parse error:
syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home2/………………./ocean_mist_1_2/functions.php on line 22
Can you do something with it?
Yes, Great Ed!
