   Hi guys

   I did not know how to contact you so I am writing here. I use your theme for my blog. Thanks for it. It is great in firefox but when I’m in IE the headings are all messed up and sometimes the side bar is and sometimes some of the videos don’t appear.
   Just thought I’d let you know in case you want to fix it for me.

   Thanks again. Which other ones do you make?

   I’d be careful using the “display:none;” CSS rule with the WP Stats plug-in, as some web-browsers wont load the image if the display is set to “none”. This means that WP Stats can not gather the client stats.

   I know Firefox does this, not too sure about IE or Safari/Chrome.

   If you really don’t want the smiley face, then you could try “visibility:hidden;” instead?

   Pretty Parchment error

   I cannot get all my blog posts to show only the title and first paragraph even though I have checked the appropriate box.
   Please let me know how to get this to work – please

   Thanks! I’m glad to get rid of the little nuisance. :P

   This is bad advice. The W3 standard for display: none is for the browser not to load the element at all. What is the point of using wp-stats if you won’t let it check your hits? All browsers that follow the standard (pretty much everything except very old IEs) will not load it at all. I suggest use visibility: hidden as I did in my website.

   Took Bamm’s advice, but still had a few pixel gap. Updated to:

   img#wpstats{visibility:hidden; height:0px;}

   Devin,

   To make sure that all the gap/space are gone, specify the following in your code:

   height:0;
   width:0;
   overflow:hidden;
   margin:0;
   border: none;
   padding:0;

   Thanks,
   Looked everwhere to find a solution for it. Even thought that the site was hacked.
   I got pretty anoyed by it.
   Solved it with Devin’s solution.
   Thanks again.
