LOVE the theme! :-)

Customized fastrack a bit as well on my site.

Thx, I responded to you on the wordpress site, same URL as above. The behavior is just quite strange…

ok, if you use the link categories, it creates an unordered list within the unordered list.
something like
< ul>
< li id="linkcat-1">
< h2>Category 1
< ul>
< li>< a href=’#'>Alex< /a>< /li>
< li>< a href=’#'>Matt< /a>< /li>
< /ul>
< /li>
< /ul>

so we just need to add a new style for “#sidebar ul li ul li”, that will take care of styling the links within that.

so you go ahead and add these lines at the end of the stylesheet.
#sidebar ul li ul li {
margin:5px;
padding:3px;
font-size:1em;
}

if it is not the font-size you wanted, try 0.9em, or 1.1em for the font-size property.

Hope that helps,
let me know if you still have issues.

Thanks.

I like the fasttrack template (found at alexking.org) but have run into a problem trying to customize it. Namely, by default it does not show Wordpress link categories along with the links (which seems like an oversight, or am I the only one who uses link categories?). Anyway, I replaced the get_links line in its index.php with this:

This shows the link categories ok, but… the link font sizes are SMALLER than the link font sizes of the other items on the sidebar (which looks wrong). If I REMOVE the UL tags, the font size is correct but each link category shows a bullet next to it. I have tried putting both “list-style: none” and “list-style-type: none” in about every place imaginable in the style.css but the bullets will not go away. Very frustrating. I want the links to be the same size as every other link on the sidebar, with no bullets.

I do not see this problem with the default kubrick theme (it is using get_links_list too), but I just cannot get it working with fasttrack. Any ideas?

I modified Fast Track as well … I love it! Thanks for providing the best, bar none, templates for WordPress.

I also used FastTrack as a starting point. Quite modified now, though. :) Thank you so much!

Another question…? Any reason that the is in index.php instead of sidebar.php? I am simply trying to understand & customize…

New to WordPress after trying all of the free ones – decided to load WordPress on my own domain that had laid dormant for awhile & I found FastTrack! Now, if I can just figure out how to create an author.php file & link it to the ‘about’ link in the header…

Thanks for a great theme!
