Horanda.com is the home of one Hollander family. It is managed by Fred Hollander for the benefit of himself, his brothers and their families. It is also host to charleft.net, the fiction site of LKHollander.
As of June, 2010, the whole site is in development, because I just bought it.
As of late July, 2010, I’m waiting on WordPress for Dummies so that I can do things more rationally.
Mid-August — I now have WP for Dummies and am reading it.
August 24 — made a fixed front page — failed at making a background image.
August 25 – went to Atahualpa and registered. Getting advice on those background images. Still not working.
September 17 — I think I have images and backgrounds more or less figured out.
October 21 — figured out a plugin for Table of Contents and set it up. Yay!
Should start being able to design Lynn’s site soon.
Added ToC to The Table of Contents page using add widgets to page plugin. Oct 22
Added user.
Figured out how to do previous/next and make the arrows point the right way (I’s in custom previous/next and the code is the laquo, raquo and their positions in the link.)
Put background picture behind the main layout as well as in the main layout. 🙂
Figured out the footer for “Page” pages.
Finally figured out that margin moves the edge of a box in, and that padding makes the edge thicker so that the text moves.
APO > Style POSTS and PAGES > BODY Box I inserted padding-left: 25px;
putting div.post p {
text-indent: 20px;
}
in CSS additions makes paragraphs indent properly. :))
—————-
Lynn’s site will want two images flanking a third. Cannot do with Atahualpa straight, but from the Forums there:
For now you’d have to edit files. Best to turn off the header images at Theme Options -> Header -> Configure Header Area
Then add your code after
PHP Code:
?php bfa_header_config($bfa_ata_configure_header); ?
in header.php

Couldn’t find that thread again, but did manage to get the image in by modifying div.titleoverlay
Now all I have to do is find a way to add more div’s to the header. Put in a call for help at the Atahualpa Forums.
——
Turned out that there’s three divs in the header area, two of them called opacity. used the added css to style them and put in images. Works just right, then use the third one to put the title where I want it. yay. 11/5/10
———–
I can make side columns either from the opacity divs on the header (extended down) or from the sidebars (repositioned and moved up.) I can also vary what is covered by what by changing the z=level.

Figured out how to do registration of users using plugins and a captcha generator Turned out to be very easy once I found the right plugins.
Jan 18, 2011 – discovered that all images in the themes/atahualpa/images had been destroyed, probably by my update of Atahualpa. 🙁 Images are now stored in a backup container.
