 WordPress Coding
Hi all, I've recently designed a new theme for my two blogs, although I've just been working on getting it up and running on my work blog.
I'm pretty happy with myself, I'm not a coder and have very little knowledge of html/css/php but I've managed to work most of wordpress out.
I edited the classic theme already installed with wordpress to code my skin. I've basically thrown everything into the header file and it's worked out great 
There's just a few things that I now can't work out...

If you scroll down, you'll see at the bottom
Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.
— Next Page »

This has been bugging me, and I don't know how to remove it as I cannot find where it is coming from!
Also, with my css, if you take a look at my work blog:
http://work.gethinoakes.com/
What I need help with are the following things:
1) Creating space between each new post
2) lowering the font size to 10px on the part that sais stuff like

Make sure that your error report is between this piece of code :
Code:
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
and this one
About the css questions, I think it's best to give them a different class and for the spacing, maybe a
or something for it ?

Code:
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p>
<?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>
</p>
<?php endif; ?>
I have that in the template, is that what you were talking about?
And not being a css guy, where would I add that bit of css, and how would i add it into the main template?

Strange. If you have it it should be working. As for the css, just add to the css of your entire newspost the following :
margin-bottom:10px;
you can of course decide how much space you want for yourself

I've got rid of that bit messing up the bottom of the design now, messed around with the index file (just deleted all that was in it and put all the code from header.php in it )
But... lol I may sound stupid but about the css again, where do I put that code in the css... and then in the html/php how does it know where that will go?
as in the css I already see a lot of margin code for various things, and even if i added this, how would the html/php code know where to have it?
If you get me 
Another problem I have is the vertical stretch of the whole design, I have the main area table set to 100% vertical - yet it is going way past that and making the page scroll when it shouldn't!
Help

You would add that CSS code to the Post class, which should show up as .post in your CSS file.
as in the css I already see a lot of margin code for various things, and even if i added this, how would the html/php code know where to have it?
|
The CSS code would know where to add the margin, because you have told it to by placing the margin, in the .post section of your CSS file.
Another problem I have is the vertical stretch of the whole design, I have the main area table set to 100% vertical - yet it is going way past that and making the page scroll when it shouldn't!

As for the table problem, I'm using firefox and there doesn't seem to be a problem. Is it an Internet Explorer problem?

I'm using Firefox and it stretches more than 100%
I couldn't find the .post, but I've worked it out another way now (just have to put up with the space at the top before any post)

Hmm, I don't know about the stretching, but in your CSS file, you could do the spacing another way by changing this piece of code:
Code:
.feedback {
font: 70% 'Tahoma';
letter-spacing: 0px;
}
To this:
Code:
.feedback {
font: 70% 'Tahoma';
letter-spacing: 0px;
margin-bottom: 10px
}
And then removing the piece of code you added to get the spacing before the date.

Although you are asking for help I must commend you on a very nice design. Love the orange colours in the banner. Nice job all looks fine for me.

Ah! Thank you joe, that worked... thanks mate.
Still can't fix that scrolling problem though
Oh and Wish, thank you very much for your nice comments, I'm about to skin my personal blog with the blue version of the design, when that's up I'll post them both in the gallery showcase
One other CSS problem - the text that is under the post title...
