Hi anitac
Not sure where you are looking, but the body of the page is still going outside of the box?
The page is http://www.momgoesonline.com/activate-subscription/ and you can clearly see it in the bullet point section.
Kind regards
Laura
lauraMember@anitac -- thank you for helping; I saw through Firebug that the lines you quote are the culprit - but I can't find them in style.css. And when I look at Firebug, it indicates the lines are in momgoesonline.com#2 -- but I have no idea what /where this file is?
Cheers
Laura
lauraMember22 was perfect - excellent eye!
Is it possible to have the author name centred with the avatar image? (currently they seem to align at the top)? Or is that difficult to do?
CHeers

lauraMember@Susan - thx for your quick reply - it worked 🙂
However, not the box around comments header cuts through the middle of the comments author's gravatar. Is there any way I can centre the gravatar and name of the author, and have the comments header box around that?
Here's a link to a post on my site http://momgoesonline.com/hello-world/

The line is too long though, and I would like to shorten it to the same length as the box around the title (you can see it on my site: Mom Goes Online (since I seem to have been adding links incorrectly, the site is http://www.momgoesonline.com).
@TWF: Vous êtes français?lauraMemberSorry for the silence - it was night here (Australia)
I placed the code higher up in the css, and it worked. Thank you so much for all you help!
My mistake is that I had put it right at the end, which is the responsive section of the css, so it only picked it up for the small screen version of my site.
Again - thank you so much for taking the time to help me out - I really appreciate it
Cheers, Laura
PS - thx for pointing out that I am entering links incorrectly !
lauraMember@braddalton - when I was checking the mobile responsiveness of my site, I noticed that it did work - but only for devices with small screens?!
So I think maybe I need to add the code you gave in other places as well, and not only at the end of the style.css file?
lauraMemberMmmm... it didn't work. I must be doing something wrong :-S
Here's a site that has what I want: they have a box around the title on their home page (I am also displaying a running tab of posts on my home page), as well as a box around the title on each post page.

PS - I don't have two posts yet, but the Lifestyle theme blog page template has something similar to what I am looking to do

Thx for your help!
@braddalton - I tried what you said (You can add the CSS to your child themes style.css )
So I added
@import url("http://momgoesonline.com/fonts/MyFontsWebfontsKit.css");in the style.css file and that worked! woo hoo!
So unless I get told this is a bad way of doing it, I am inclined to leave it?
Cheers!

Thank you for your help.
I added the code to the header section, using both suggestions (header scripts in theme settings / simple hooks plugin). In both instances the font loaded correctly for the home page only.
So the titles were in the new font on the home page. But on all other pages, the titles reverted to the default (arial).
The fonts have already been converted to web use, and the MyFontsWebFontsKit.css is doing @fontface calls. The instructions in the webfont package tell me to add
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="www.momgoesonline.com/fonts/MyFontsWebfontsKit.css">
to the head section of my website page, making sure it is added to all pages.
I just have no idea how to do that, and the header scripts in the settings page and the simple hooks only seem to work for the home page?
Through Firebug I can see that I have added the fonts to the correct title tags on all pages, but that the new font (PRoxima Nova) is not being picked up, and that the titles revert to the default Arial. (The website is Mom Goes Online)
Can anyone tell me how to add the code to the head section of all pages? Do I need to add a call in functions.php?
lauraMember@bill - thank you so much for explaining complex things in a way I can understand! (I am really impressed by your knowledge). Since I am a one author blog, I think it is wiser to just not have a link from post info to archives (I have had situations where I followed a link only to end up on author archives and not be able to find the article I was expecting). I am also thinking it is wiser not to link to my about page, as I heard about this thing called link-juice, and I am not looking to rank on my about page.
I know you are very knowledgeable on the WordPress SEO plugin: does Yoast automatically do a nofollow for comments and about / contact pages? or is that a setting we need to set ourselves?
You also mentioned in another thread that you were writing an article on why it is good to use yoast's plugin on genesis - I'd be interested to read it so let me know when you publish it!
@brian - I followed your instructions to unlink my name in the post info - it worked, thank you!lauraMember@Bill - thx for the explanation - I think I get it! If you don't ming me asking.... what is the risk if someone else links to an archive?
lauraMemberI have a question, and hopefully you can help:
I disabled the author archives, as I thought it would create duplicate content on my website since I am the only author. However, from clicking around on other websites, I get the impression that the author archives is a page with an author box, and a list of recent posts by that author.
Is the duplicate content relating to the fact that that page might resemble the home page of a blog, if the home page contains a list of the most recent posts, and it is a one author blog?
THe reason why I am asking is because I have the magazine theme, so my front page will not simply be a list of my most recent posts, but rather a set of featured posts by category. In which case, if my question above is correct, there is no risk of duplicate content?
Or am I completely missing the point?
lauraMemberThat sounds like a good idea. If it is possible, I would prefer to have my name link to something, as I personally like to be able to follow such a link when I enjoy an article and want to know a bit more about the author (so I assume others might too).
Is it possible to maybe redirect the link to my about page? Or does that require advanced coding skills (which I absolutely do not have by any stretch of the imagination!!!)
lauraMemberYou are right!! I use the WordPress SEO plugin, and since I run a one author blog, I de-activated the author archives. I understand it is advisable to do this to avoid duplicate content?
Is there another way to get that author box to pop up without creating duplicate content by activating the author archives?
lauraMemberIs there maybe a setting I need to set? Or a plugin I need to use (although I prefer to minimize the use of plugins)
lauraMember@brian - I must be doing something wrong. I did check those boxes, but when I link on my name in the post info section, it goes to my home page? Here's the page with the link Mom Goes Online. How do I get it to go to an author box?
lauraMember@cdils - since I am struggling to customize a simple thing like the word "comments" in post info, I think it is wise to leave archive page customisations to a later date 😉
I thought that to customize something I needed to add code at the end of the function.php file, but when I added the code snippet provided by studiopress everything went blank - so I obviously do not have a natural knack for coding 😀
