    [...] Cari-cari theme yang cocok untuk blog butuh banyak coba-coba. Minimalis dengan format dua kolom masih jadi pertimbangan utama untuk theme. Dua kolom sehingga kolom untuk teks dapat banyak ruang, minimalis agar tidak terlalu banyak banyak hiasan dan gambar sehingga teks jadi dominan. Untuk saat ini yang cocok dengan kualifikasi itu adalah theme Evanescence. [...]

    Srini - thanks, though won’t that have the same problem if there’s a picture on the right?

  3. Srini says:

    ghosttie, that’s because the picture ‘floats’ in the left. Unfortunately we can’t do anything about this because, when the picture floats, it is still inside the other block level elements, so it’s as if the picture is inside the blockquote. One easy solution I can suggest is to float the image to the right side.

  4. ghosttie says:

    Srini - thanks for your response but I can’t get the blockquote css to work properly - if there is a picture in the post on the left of the blockquote, the ” picture goes behind it

    For example take a look at http://www.wizardstower.co.uk/wordpress/2008/07/25/adsense-catch-22-redux/ - you can see the ” picture begind the google logo

  5. Srini says:

    ghosttie, to have a ” picture for blockquote, make that picture as a backround for blockquote. For example put the following code in the bottom of the style.css file. Replace http://imageurl with the actual url of the image.

    blockquote { background: url('http://imageurl') top left; }

    For changing the title of tags and plugins, use the ‘all in one seo’ plugin. With that, you can have complete control over such things. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/

    I love this theme, but I have a couple comments:

    Could block quotes use a ” picture like some other themes do? Currently this theme just indents the quoted text which isn’t as noticeable

    Could the theme prefix the tag and category page titles with the words “tag” and “category” so that google webmaster tools doesn’t complain about duplicate titles when you have a tag and category with the same name

    I put a screenshot of the wp-syntax scrolling bug on my webspace: http://www.lespocky.de/kram/wp_theme_evanescence_wp-syntax.png

    I add the code I posted there in this entry too, so you have something to test and play with:

    for (my $i=0; $i<3; $i++) {
    print $i . “\n”;
    my $x = ;
    if ($i > 2) print “woohoo\n”;
    }
