   I love the theme. I am very fussy but this one really fits the bill. Many thanks.

   Finally a 3 column theme that is a great template for customization. I’m having trouble with the left sidebar, however. You’ll see that it’s adding a few tags and causing a larger bottom gap than desired. If you could explain, or point me in the right direction of learning how to get rid of this, it would be appreciated.

   Also, I’m sure once I figure this out I can apply it to bring the Search field on the right sidebar up a bit, too.

   Sorry for omitting relevant facts. The specific field adding tags is “Topics.”

   Nevermind. I did some research and found some work-arounds. Sorry to clutter your page! Great theme, again!

   Hi. I’m back.

   I managed to add images as headers for both of the Links categories, but now I can’t seem to figure out how to drop the text down to the same amount as the other sidebar h2’s. I searched the Wordpress help forums but nothing is exact. Perhaps you can help?

    […] RockinDark1 is a sleek and stylish three column theme in two different versions. There is a “graphical” version, which uses a modern image for the blogs title, or a “text” version, which allows quick adjustment to your own blogs title, in plain text. […]

    Jeff,

    I’ve looked through your source code.
    It looks like your “headers” are also items, followed by another nested ul. That really complicates things (something I didn’t foresee). Try (if you haven’t already) adding padding/margin to the header element or the class of li you’ve got there. also, you may try adding margin/padding to the li ul element (a nested ul).

    That’s about all I can do for you without working with the code myself. Sorry.

    I figured it out. I needed to finagle the CSS a bit…

    #linkcat-3 ul {
padding-top: 35px;
background-image: url('http://l402.com/let-loose/wp/images/rockindark/audio-links.gif');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

    #linkcat-4 ul {
    padding-top: 35px;
    background-image: url('http://l402.com/let-loose/wp/images/rockindark/visual-links.gif');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    }

    #linkcat-3 h2 {
    padding-top: 20px;
    display:none;
    }

    #linkcat-4 h2 {
padding-top: 20px;
display:none;
}


    There may have been a cleaner way, but this does indeed work.
