    Hey All–just finished and posted a Minimatica users guide at [url=http://photohow2.com]PhotoHow2.com[/url]. Hope you’ll check it out. If you can think of anything to add, let me know in the comments or here.

    The users guide focuses on creating a photography portfolio similar to my [url=http://gregaitkenheadphotography.com]GregAitkenheadPhotography[/url] website.

    I’ve got a test website set up and I’m planning on recording a start to finish Minimatica install video, so stay tuned. Thanks to everyone at the support forum for your help, and apologies to those of you, like Lindsey, who were told that the users guide would be available last week. The project kind of grew on me–I typed as fast as I could!

    Awesome. Thank you, noflashlight. Can\’t wait to check it out.

    EDIT: Just skimmed thru. Looks great. very thorough.

    I wanted to see if you covered my current problem…. but sadly you didnt. But thats ok because im trying to go the long way around.

    Im trying to keep the blog within site and not on a subdomain — which i know is way easier. Ive almost got it together except, as I posted in another thread, the CSS gets weird when I do it.

    Hopefully if it gets solved you can add it to your awesome tutorial.

    Regards, Sam

    Hey Sam–I just favorited your forum post about keeping the blog in house, but if you figure it out and you don’t mind leaving the fix here, too, I’d love to add that to the Unofficial Users Guide. Happy tinkering!

    Hi Greg. Everything looks great! Thanks for the user guide! I’m struggling with one thing I’m hoping you can shed some light on, as I can’t seem to get an answer from the theme support forum.

    If you look at my site http://www.grafixsites.org you can see that I was finally able to put some text on the home page, but have no idea how to format the margins so it doesn’t go from edge to edge of the page. Seems like it would be a pretty simple thing, but I’m not a coder. The code I have in my home.php for this is:

    <?php if (is_home()) { ?>
    <div class=post>
    <h2>Welcome</h2>
    My text
    </div>
    <?php } ?>

    Any thoughts on what/where/how to edit the margins?

    Thanks so much!

    Elissa–you’re website looks great. I’m no coder either–hopefully someone here at the forums will throw in some sage advice.

    Sam–I just had another look at [url=http://bartmidwood.com/]bartmidwood.com[/url]–what a cool site. It looks like you’re using the main URL for the Minimatica theme slider and use the slider windows to link with pages on a sub-domain. If you get a chance, would you mind writing back with some insight into the process you used to create the website.

    I also like the site from a writer’s perspective–I teach English and just started my second NaNoWriMo novel this morning.

    By the way, “UFO” is my new favorite poem! Great job on the website.

    Hi Elissa, where did you add this code, home.php, index.php inside the div “container”?

    Thanks in advance

    In the home.php. (won’t let me post what code looks like for some reason….)
