Changing Light Blue background on sides

Hey, no problem.

I was just thinkin' (always dangerous. ) Anyway, you may be able to widen the boxes and unless the category title is super long, it would stop the words from wrapping, if that is what you want. The adjustment is in the Layout Settings area.

Well, that's what I was thinking too (and yes, its VERY dangerous ).
BUT, when I edit the size, that's when the top and bottom mess up.
What's REALLY odd to me (and I'm sure there's a simple reason for it that my mind doesn't understand yet ).... my screen is a wide panel and my Mom's is the old clunker flat screen. On HER computer, the titles run across in the same line, no problem, but on mine...with more size to it.... the Salt & Pepper Shakers is on 2 lines. I would think, in my little pea brain, that it would be the other way around since her montior is smaller, it would wordwrap, mine is larger, it would NOT wrap.

Oh well, as long as it looks good on most monitors, then I'm happy .

Now...about that browser title.... I gotta do more searching I think

I think it's in the meta_tags file in your template. Check to see though cuz it's been several days and hundreds of tweakings since I did mine. Maybe search the Forum for meta_tags; might be the quickest way to confirm it.

I think I did it


Now my problem is with weights because I usually onlu use ounces.
AND I'm not good enough in math to know the decimal way of breaking it down

[rush_woman]

I understand; I had the same conversion issue.

Here's what I did:

Divide 16 by the ounces.
e.g., 16 divided by 4.5 = 3.5

Then take that, and divide by 10 = .35 this goes in the weight

Remember that 8 ounces will be .5 (i.e., half a pound). I used this to help guide my calculation since I don't use this kind of math very often and am out of practice.

Good luck,

[LilleyPadGifts]

Ok, I MUST be crazy, but I can't get the same results.....

when I take 4.5 divided by 16... I get 0.28125

[rush_woman]

Do it the other away. In your calculator, key in 16, then the division sign, then the ounces.

I do understand..... Drives me nuts...

[LilleyPadGifts]

now if I take 16 divided by 4.5, THEN I get .355555555555555

BUT if I take 16 divided by 8, I get 2 not .50




oh gosh, I was hoping to get this site done before PMS took over

[LilleyPadGifts]

just in a side note, I just posted a question about USPS and setting it up in case you know anything about that issue as well....



*SIGH* I'll be lucky to get this up and running by Christmas at the rate I'm working!

[rush_woman]

Correct. Then you need to convert to decimals, i.e., 10s.

Half of anything in 10ths will be .5. The result of 2 must be converted to 10ths... geez, girl friend, this way much math for me.

Divide 8 by 16 gives you the .5. Just reverse the way you put the #s in the calculator. (dang, I hated this in school cuz I usually do it backwards, first).

Take the smaller number which is ounces, and divide by 16. That will give you the percentage. So the math whiz husband tells me.

He's gonna be tough to live with tonight....
