But the header in my theme is added on the Stylesheet. Hmmm - it’s really been a while since I looked into a WP Code. But the header in my theme is added on the Stylesheet.

The code look like this: <img style="border: 0pt none" alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png"/> add margins like this: <img style="border: 0pt none ; margin: 0px 0px 0px 50px;" alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png"/> The semi-colon ';' between the border parameters and margin parameters are important.

<img style=”border: 0pt none”
alt=”" src=”http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32×32.png”/>

add margins like this:

<img style=”border: 0pt none ; margin: 0px 0px 0px 50px;”
alt=”" src=”http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32×32.png”/>

The semi-colon ‘;’ between the border parameters and margin parameters are important.

I got the idea from the <a href="http://diekretzschmars.de/wordpress/themes/dkret-theme/de/" rel="nofollow">dkRet theme</a> but I guess any multi-widget WP Theme will have these codes . Download one of these themes (or the dkRet) and have a peek on their code - that's how I got mine to work. If you need help, let me know. I can share my revised theme but would need to clean up some hard coding I did to speed up my site.

Nice steps to adjusting Mimbo. I feel I have enough content now. It's time to tweak. First. How do I edit header file get my Feedburner-generatedRSS link + icon slightly to the left of my Google search bar? The feed is confusing because the RSS i symbol in FireFox or Safari URL window has a different URL than my Feedburner generation. Will I lose subscribers? I really wan them to go through Feedburner link which I'm trying to place near my Google search bar. any advice? Fellow Darren Mimbo user. Nice steps to adjusting Mimbo.

In FireFox, there's a plugin called FireBug which allows you to change css values on the fly to see how it looks before you commit it in your real CSS. Another problem I experience, is that the CSS does not always refresh - so you could be changing values and it does not seem to have an effect. What I do is to browse the URL of the CSS and force it to reload. In the style.css, change the #page - font-size to 0.8em or which ever size appropriate to you.

I've been messing around w/ the Mimbo theme tonight and can't make it change. I am used to just regular pt sizes, not the em that this thing uses. I would like to change the content - as in the body of the post (I can figure out the headers) but whenever I make a change, the whole font size is increased overall... If you can offer me some tips, I'd appreciate it. So how did you change the font size? I’ve been messing around w/ the Mimbo theme tonight and can’t make it change.
