#btmWrap{
background:#FFFFFF url(images/bg-gray.jpg) repeat-x scroll 0 0;
border-bottom:1px solid #FFFFFF;
border-top:1px solid #FFFFFF;
padding:0;
}

Make it look like this.

/*
#btmWrap{
background:#FFFFFF url(images/bg-gray.jpg) repeat-x scroll 0 0;
border-bottom:1px solid #FFFFFF;
border-top:1px solid #FFFFFF;
padding:0;
}
*/

The /* */ is css comments, so here we are commenting out the CSS for the object #btmWrap which will then make the background color the same as the top for that lower section.

I took a quick look at your site. I love the HDR stuff. I am just getting into HDR myself. I’ll be posting some of those later. What do you use to do your HDR composition?

Sorry about the late response, I’ve been trying to plan a wedding and haven’t been keeping up with website comments lately.

I shoot with a Canon XTi (really want the T1x). A sigma 18-125mm telephoto and a Sigma 70-300mm telephoto.

By profession i am a web programmer, but when I created my photography site, I wanted nothing to do with programming it. Wordpress was the right tool for the job. Changing the order of where blog is has to do with some code modifications I made. Backup header.php (in the FolioPhoto directory) and then replace it with the code found at this URL. It contains my changes.

Then order your pages. One of them should be ordered as number 6 Blog will be inserted before that page. It’s pretty simple really

The thumbnail problem pisses me off. Basically you have to edit the post, and re-add the image and it will appear. I have no idea why it does that…

Thanks I’ll check out your site a bit later, let me know if you have any questions

This code is found in header.php (backup your original before editing). What it does it it states that the “Blog” in the nav will come before any page that has an order equal to 6. So I just set one of my pages (in this case gallery shop) as an order of 6 and blog appears before it.

you’ve got a great looking website and I like how you’ve tweaked the theme. What gear are you shooting with?

I’m an aspiring photographer myself, and just setup my wordpress account with the same theme, and am having some issues with setting up my site. how do you change the order of the ‘ blog’ on top and also, my thumbnail images aren’t working – any insight?

I wish there was a way to keep the home page completely black and do without the middle section. Also, have you considered adding a Feedburner email signup to your page? I’m trying to figure that out now…

keep shooting and great site!
