Hi Marco,

I just wanted to say thanks for the great site, it’s helped me learn how to make changes looking at what you’ve done for your site. But I just wanted to let you know that you actually have the wrong code posted for how to insert the banner.

Sorry dvopilgrim I tried to replicate the issue but couldn’t. I’ll keep trying. Let me know if you solve the problem though.

Hi dvopilgrim!

I see what your saying about the teasers. Are you inserting images first in your posts? Try writing a normal post with just text and add it to the feature section and see if that works.

As far as the Lightview/box plugins I’ll test them out here and see what I come up with.

1) Teasers missing from the featured headlines

2) Lightview and Lightbox plugins not compatible. Lightview makes the big-preview images. Lightbox puts a big black box on top of the page.

Thanks for any suggestions.

It’s a great-looking theme!

Open you header.php and find this string of code:

< ?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>

Now replace: < ?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>

With: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/wewantflowers

That should do the trick.

Cool, I got the counter working. Thanks for that. I’m so happy!

Still have problem with this part though.

My Original Feed is:
http://www.wewantflowers.com/feed/

New Feedburner Title :
WeWantFlowers.com

New Feedburner address:
http://feeds2.feedburner.com/wewantflowers

When I click on the subscribe button on top of home page it still shows the
original feed title http://www.wewantflowers.com/feed/

It needs to reflect the new feedburner title, correct?

How do I do that?

Hi DM, Log back into your FeedBurner account then click the Publicize tab then on the left hand side you will see another tab for the FeedCount, click that and you will see the information to activate and add the chicklet to your site.

I see you have your feedburner counter running. How do you get it to work?
I just went to feedburner.com and signed up and now have the following address
http://feeds2.feedburner.com/ wewantflowers
I put that information in the header.php as per the theme instructions.
It’s still kind of blacked out. What am I missing? Am I supposed to turn it on somwhere?
Also, I need to change address in the subcribe button on top.
Can you help?

Thank you

Thanks DM! First you should get some sleep ASAP then wake up with a clear mind but I know how you feel to many ideas running around your head and trying to get them all done.

Let me know if you need any more help.
