Tim,

Thanks for your posts about church websites. They’re really helpful.

I began using Wordpress for ours last spring and now am on design number 2.

I love the ability to add extra features as you learn more. EG I recently added podpress for podcasting our sermons.

I even started a website to manage the growing number of sites that I run. I currently don’t make any money, but I would like to cover my hosting costs. Any ideas?

You just need to put all the relevant javascript in your theme template as per instructions and then the hard bit is the CSS. Start with the CSS from Alpha, but you’ll need to put the menu in a different place to where EPSILON currently has it.

I know ALPHA uses sukerfish but I’m not a big fan of drop down menus. People don’t read your parent pages when you use a drop down!

Tim your site is an inspiration. I sent a seperate e-mail, but thought I might try here as well. I have no idea how to code, but would like to integrate the drop down menu’s from your ALPHA into EPSILON. I have read the “suckerfish article” you referred to and was getting ready to give it a whirl. That is unless you have some easy insight in how to make it happen. Thank you for all the hard work!

I love the look of this theme! I have been keeping watch on your blog for themes I can use in a couple church project that I’d like to do. I have done for our family website a wordpress blogsite and wanted to help our church put up a website. This is going to be my first attempt to do a website for somebody else, so.. kind of scary but I will try your theme. I have several of your themes I’d already marked as favorites for church but I haven’t make the plunge yet. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and skills for God’s glory! Blessings to you!

Tim, I love this theme. I just downloaded it and will use it for our personal “missionary blog.” I’m a new WordPress user (and already a true believer), so these might be a silly questions. How do I change the font for the headers so they’re not all caps? Also, I’d like to change the header image (the picture) and the logo beside the blog title. I see that Patrick has done some of the changes I would like to implement. Do you mind sharing a few tips for a WordPress newbie? Thanks!

I’m using it on a site about Widgets! I changed the graphics, and tweaked the stylesheet to add whitespace between posts and sidebar widgets, but otherwise haven’t changed it. I want to make the main content area a bit wider so that inline Google ads work better (see a sample on the homepage), but that will have to wait. My sister asked if I would help her church with a site, and I might use this as the basis for it.

Thanks!

Download latest version. Sidebar text issue now fixed (I think!).

I am running 2.0.0.3 too, but no problem when viewed on my own test blog and at the theme browser. Where is the theme running? Use the contact form if you want to keep location private.
