I would like to know the following: I am all for crediting the designer of awesome themes and skins in my footer, but I would like to edit the text so that it looks a bit neater. At the moment it's all written on 2 lines on top of each other. I have a developer license from Thesis so am in a position to alter the text in the footer. I just want it to be on 1 line on the right hand side in the footer, saying: Powered by Thesis and Thesis Sharp Skin. (obviously linking to the relevant 2 sites) What are your thoughts on that? And if you agree, what code can I use where? Regards Hi Chris thanks for the reply. I would like to know the following:

If you view the source of this demo page, you'll see the site title and tagline is inside the header div.

I just looked at your site and the email list appears to be already lined up the way you wanted. Kali – Maybe you already got this taken care of?

I've got an update to the skin that I've been working on (keep getting pulled away on side projects) that will include this. Basically you just need to add the following to your custom.css file: <pre> .custom #content_box {background: #fff url(fade.gif) repeat-x; border-right: 1px solid #ddd;} .custom #content {background: #fff url(fade.gif) repeat-x; border-right: 1px solid #ddd;} </pre> Hugh – You are correct, the gray fader graphic is being used at the top of the content box here on this site.

You helped me customize your skin on my blog a few months ago. I just changed email list services and am having some trouble lining up my new opt-in form in the header widget. Can you help? I want the opt-in form to move to the right and down. Basically lining up with media box horizontally and sidebar ads vertically. ANY advice/help much appreciated! Kindly, KL http://thelabrawtory.com/ Hi Chris!!

Thanks it is awesome! I have a few questions for my website http://hughmccabe.com 1. How do I get the to look like yours on all of your pages? It seems to be the same background as the gray sidebar fader? Where do I put what code in to get the same effect? 2. I want to add a nice graphic header to my site similar to this one - http://norbertorlewicz.com/ but a bit smaller / narrower. What dimensions should I tell my designer to use so that the header fits on your Sharp Skin design and doesn't push the content area too low? Can one edit the bg.jpeg file to have a taller image / header area? Best Regards, Hugh Hi Chris,

I used it on one of my websites and noticed one 'concern' though. I feel it is important in an SEO point of view and if you can fix it, it would be great. Normally, without a skin, your blog name appears within the header area (when you look at page source). But when your skin is installed, the header area is blank as far as I can understand. I think this is a crucial factor as far as SEO goes. May be you can contact someone that you would trust in an SEO stand point (I'm a total stranger to you :-)) or the guys over at DIY and ask what they think. Would definitely be following up to see what your point of view on this would be! Thanks again for a great skin! Chuck Hey Chris,
