Full Version: New Blog - Style Applying Without Formatting

Hi there and thanks in advance for the help!

I'm new to MT and have had a strange problem with the styles. When I started this new blog, everything was dandy and the style I chose applied perfectly. I then tinkered with the templates a bit, but didn't really change much. Then, one day I login and the formatting was essentially gone from the blog. I figured that I messed something up with the templates, so refreshed them all and republished - no change. So, I went ahead and removed MT from the server and did a completely fresh installation. Twice. Still the same. See what I'm talking about here: www.readerreader.org Now, I'm interested in modifying my blog based off of some minor changes to the stylesheet, but since it's not applying right I don't even know where to start.

Does anyone know what could be wrong/why the formatting is wonky, and I how I can get the style with formatting to apply right? Feel free to dumb down your answer, as the MT interface is still so new to me. Thanks again!

Cheers!

You are missing a link to the global reset stylesheet.

Add the following at the top of the stylesheet and rebuild

CODE
@import url(<$mt:StaticWebPath$>themes-base/blog.css);

Thanks so much for the help! It's almost there! Mostly back to normal with columns aligning appropriately, but there's still some residual stuff at the top under the banner that shoudln't be there. Any other ideas? www.readerreader.org

Again, thank you so much!

Do you mean the sign on widget in your header?
