i was using the default stylesheet and made a slight change of it, like colours, font size and fonts. and i edited the index template. after rebuilding everything, the weird thing happened. all entries on the main page just disappear!!! so i went check out the index template, but the entry stuff is still there.

okay, maybe give out the code would be clearer. can anyone take a look at it if i mess up some where? thank you!

by the way, except editing the main index template, shall i "have to" edit the default_templates.pl? is it a must?

still wondering why the entries disappear...

thank you.

What would be even clearer is a link to your page so we can see the generated output.

yeah sure if it does help!

but i have edited the template and stylesheet for a bit just now, so it may not be the same as i gave out ealier.

and i was thinking if that's the stylesheet problem? because i searched some old posts and their solutions were to add or cross out something like "float", "margin" or "padding"...

here's the url:
http://www.meant-to-be.org/weblog/

and when you see my webpage's index, you would find that there are only the sidebar stuff, the entries dont show up at all, and i dunno where they are gone...

by the way, the default stylesheet which i used was plain jane, if it could be another clue...

thanks!!!

Seeing you page showed me that the following is most likely the solution.

Go to your weblog config, preferences page and see what you have set for "number of days to display." I'll wager that you have that set to a number that doesn't have any entries created. According to your calendar, your last post was the 22nd...more than 7 days ago, and likely that option is set to 7?

Check that, and try creating a post for today. Note that if your posts aren't long enough or enough of them, the page may show the column wrapping underneath your entries.

Hope that helps!

yes! the new entry is on the main page now, thank you so much
but now, the sidebar wont go to the right side, it is displaying under the entry to the bottom...

i have changed and fixed for hours, it still keeps displaying under the entry. here are how #content and #link are like right now.

#content {
float:left;
position: relative;
width:60%;
background:#FFF;
margin-bottom:20px;
}

#links {
background:#FFF;
color:#999999;
margin-top:35px;
margin-left: 60%;
position: absolute;
}

is there some place i need to change or add?

Did you try this?

#content {
float:left;
width:60%;
background:#FFF;
margin-bottom:20px;
}

#links {
background:#FFF;
color:#999999;
margin-top:35px;
}

i tried, but still the same result. is there any other way to fix this as both of the codes dont work for my blog

thank you

I just viewed your blog in both IE and Firebird, and it looks fine now...contents and links cols side-by-side with those codes for contents/links. If you're not seeing that, perhaps your browser needs refreshing or you need to clear its cache?

But from here it looks fixed!

oh yeh, i saw it now thanks! i had refreshed my webpages a zillionth time by using f5, and refresh buttons,
but it just still looked the same, so i didnt know it has fixed already.

now i want to make the width of the sidebar a little bit narrow, and the space bigger between the content and
the sidebar, where should i edit it in stylesheet?

thanks again

Well, look for the classes in your stylesheet labeled "side" and "sidetitle" - adjusting those will be a start - you may also want to take a look at your "content" div.

Does that help?

Shift-F5 as opposed to just F5 will force your browser to reload the page, overriding whatever cache settings you have.

And as nammer said...look at the settings you have that control width, gutters: width, margins, etc., and adjust those in contents, links, then also perhaps in your side/sidetitle classes.

i deleted the first post's codes, or the screen would look so ugly

yeh, i've edited the stylesheet, thank both of you for telling me i dont know if it's been fixed properly though. i rebuilt it over and over again, however, i dunno what was going on with my computer? browser? or my site? no matter how many times i pressed refresh or f5 or even shift-f5, it just still looks the same. so, i havent an idea if i have fixed it or not, thats why it makes the whole work done slowly

anyhow, thank you so much
