    Srini –

    Great clean theme. Spent a bit of time switching themes until I found yours. Am using it on patentseed.com.

    I do have one question. Is there an easy way I can have “Author” show up for each post? I have multiple contributors and want each author to get recognition and a link to their profile.

    Thanks!

    • Srini says:

      Yes, you can. In the files index.php, archive.php, single.php, you will find the code to display the author commented out. So, all you need to change is to replace

      <!-- <?php _e('by') ?> <?php the_author() ?> -->

      with

      <?php _e('by') ?> <?php the_author() ?>

      You have to make this change to all the three files mentioned above.

  2. simple n’ clean

    Hello,

    I’m using your great theme, and i mean it, it is really, really good. I love it.

    been tweaking it a little bit, but can’t get it to change the post width. Already taken out the sidebar from single.php

    Any suggestion ?

    Hallo Srini.

    first, excuse my bad english :)
    we make a update for fluid blue (fb) to 1.7.2 with the update-funktion from wp 2.8.3..
    after this work are all ‘blank lines’ in nirvana, i mean, not in text. see home under http://www.falz.org (we are a information center for jobless peoples, not commercial)
    we make a new installation from wp and fb over the wp-update-funktion, but it makes no correction.
    we have only a modification in the footer.php, similar ‘optimized for firefox’.
    have you a idea? we test your new theme ‘crispy cornsilk’ (it’s very nice!) but the effect is related: all blanc lines are away.
    other themes makes not problem! and: we are normal leutz (people) – not coder :)
    thanks for your help.
