Dear Users,
Do you have english language blog? If yes, so that means you need only Basic Latin glyphs for Sansation font. Save 80kb and replace following line in header.php (WP):

for:

Hello,
If you want to change an avatar, you have to upload a new image to "wp-content/themes/diabolique-spring/img/photo.png"
for put a graphic banner, open wp-content/themes/diabolique-spring/header.php
find:
<div id="logo"><h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1></div>
and put an image html code like:
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/img/logo.png" alt="Logo" width="100" height="100" />
instead:
<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>

I've never heard of "online version of WP".
Where is your site hosted?
If you edited a header.php file then you can edit info.php, info2.php files too and upload image to exernal server such as imageshack.us
If you damaged header.php file then copy code from
http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/diabolique-spring/1.1.4/header.php
and paste code to your header.php

You shoud upoad it to "wp-content/themes/diabolique-spring/img/photo.png"
via FTP client.
Or open (via dashboard) info.php + info2.php and change path (scr) for image
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/img/photo.png" alt="Photo" width="85" height="80" />
Speaking about logo, I dont see any your logo here http://outragemontreal.com/wp-content/themes/diabolique-spring/img/logo.png
You should upload (via FTP) your logo here: /wp-content/themes/diabolique-spring/img/

Hey,
I think your theme is just what I´m looking for... However, whenever I insert a widget in the the side bar (this goes for all the widgets), its pushes the menu bar right to the bottom??
Is there any way of making the menu bar at the top of the list??
thanks in advance
Lee =)

<div class="menu">
<ul>
...................

oh boy. I screwed this up and my website!! I thought your note said, to move the MENU area (About, etc) to the top of the page we were supposed to remove the code above. I did that and the whole thing went away. So I went back and repasted the code and all I got was the word MENU - nothing else.... URRRRRRGHHHHH. Please help, www.YaJagoff.com

removing this code does not work properly. I have done it now on a second copy of this theme. It completely removes the Menu and moves the widgets up. When I replace this copy, the Menu comes back to the left side bar and is below the widgets. Now that I have my website set back to where it was, can you please assist me in moving the MENU to be at the top of the left margin below the subscription and blog roll WIDGETS? Thanks.

Hi, thx for helping, here I have another two questions:
1. Why my search engine doesn't work since I changed the icons' positions?
2. How could I change the background and the headline colours into purple without changing all the modifications for positions that I did.
Thannk again:)

1. I don't know. Looks like DIVs positions issue.
2. Changing images for backgrounds like img/bg-top.png in #container and bg color for body

You can disable font replacement removing cufon and sansation from header.php

It's because Sansation font and icons are hosted on external server and IE8 blocks it. You can download other version from this website with included Sansation and icons.
Just replace header.php, /js and /img folder.

we are almost there, 2 more quesetions:
1) is it possible for you to view my sight and tell me what I do next? ww.YaJagoff.com. I did not touch any area of coding but the postings are out of line
2) after this is fixed, how do I get the MENU area to be at the top of the left column above the blog roll and above the subscription area?
this is becoming so frustrating

You don't see anything wrong because we were able to get it back to its orginal format.
However, I am still interested in moving the MENU above blog roll and the subscription widgets.
Removing this code as you described above not work properly. I have done it now on a second copy of this theme. Removing the code completely removes the Menu and moves the widgets up. When I replace this desginated code, the Menu comes back to the left side bar and is below the widgets.

Just remove following code from sidebar.php:

<div class="menu">
<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
</ul>
</div><!--menu ends-->
</div><!--sidebar-box ends-->
There is no problem with file download. Why other users don't have problems with file download?
