Questions about Rhea WP theme

    Hi Jai. Thanks for a very informative site with some really smart-looking themes.

    I'm developing a site on localhost using the Rhea theme, which I *love*. However, I've hit a few issues which I've been unable to fix. I hope you can help, and don't mind me asking!

    1. I'm trying to stop the timestamp from showing on blog entries. The relevant code seems to be:

    <abbr title="<?php the_time('Y-m-d\TH:i:sO'); ?>"><?php unset($previousday); printf(__('%1$s – %2$s'), the_date('', '', '', false), get_the_time()) ?></abbr> - <?php if(function_exists('the_views')) { the_views(); } ?>

    I've tried cutting out parts of this code, but I'm by no means a php expert! When I try either the date still shows or the page breaks. Can you let me know what I need to do?

    2. I'd like to have a rotating header image on my site. I've been using the example given by Matt Mullenweg at http://ma.tt/scripts/randomimage/. I can get it working properly on the 938x180 header.gif, but the Rhea theme includes the separate wrapper_top.gif. Is there a way of combining these two image files into one, so they rotate together and show a complete image?

    3. The final thing is to do with accessibility and SEO-friendliness. Is there a way to have the three columns appear in this order in the source: <entry> <lsidebar> <rsidebar>? At the moment <entry> appears quite far down the page in the code, which isn't terribly Google-friendly (and bad for visually impaired users with screen-reading software).

    Am I right in thinking this is a matter of changing page.php, single.php and index.php to move <div id="lsidebar"> below <div class="entry">, and how should I change the css file to float the columns and keep the site displaying correctly?

    I suspect 2 and 3 aren't terribly easily solved, but if you can make any suggestions I'd really appreciate it. As I said, I think the Rhea theme looks fantastic and would love to use it (and gladly donate for your time).

  2. Hello Gorky,

    1. To stop the timestamp to appear, just open index.php and remove everything from <small>....to....</small>

    2. For random header images, you will have to modify a lot of code which I cannot tell you here. But if you have knowledge of PHP, you can use the image names in an array and then use random function of PHP to call them randomly.

    3. To make this change, open the style.css file and try to change the float alignments for the sidebars and see how it goes.

    Great - thanks for your quick reply. I guess I'll have to do a bit of learning and experimenting!
