I have had a few people complain recently about comments failing to appear, and have upgraded to the latest version of WordPress in the hope it might solve the problem. I am inevitably encountering a few teething problems, one of which should be immediately obvious. Can any of my more technologically minded readers work out why my header won’t appear? I have uploaded it here, which I’m reasonably sure is where I kept it in the good old days.
UPDATE: Things are now back to an acceptable state. Many thanks to The Speaker for his efforts in bringing the house to order.

It is that horrible image of the photo-journo basher that is stuffing up your picture.
#page { background: url(”http://blogs.crikey.com.au/pollbludger/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbg.jpg”) repeat-y top; border: none; }
Different filenames.. css says kubrickbg.jpg
You say kubrickheader.jpg
http://blogs.crikey.com.au/pollbludger/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbg.jpg is not the header image – it’s the “background” for the main page, i.e. the thing that makes it white in the middle and off-white in the sidebar.
Oops.. ok keeping looking..
The HTML says:
div id=”headerimg”
So the “class” is headerimg
In style.css we see:
#headerimg {
margin: 0;
height: 200px;
width: 100%;
}
But you see, there’s no image specified..
Does that mean an image is supposed to be specified on style.css? Or in the HTML?
Either would probably work, but style.css would be better.
Try adding:
background:url(”http://blogs.crikey.com.au/pollbludger/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickheader.jpg”) no-repeat;
Just after width: 100%; in style.css
Yeh, that’s better.
How come you put it in the header class rather than headerimg ?
Good stuff, Mr Speaker. Looking ugly, but it’s there. I’ll see if I can get it aligned properly.
Upgrading to the latest version of WordPress was a good idea – older is not always better i’ve found out the hard way. Regular updates are the best thing to do.
I rather prefered the plain blue header to that horrible reminder of Mad Mark. Thanks for fixing the glitch.
Don’t worry Adam, I’m mindful the header needs to be brought up to date.
Dear William,
Just wondering, and this seems to be the most appropriate place to ask… would it be possible, and if so would you please consider, having a (sequential) number attached to each post in each thread, as per the Ozpolitics site?
