i can see that .content_res .shadowblock {
background: url("../images/block_topbg.gif") repeat-x scroll center top #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
padding: 8px 15px 15px;
}
the original background is still there

can you please explain how to do it?

thanks

I added this to the sidebar.php

<?php if (is_home()) { ?>

<div class="shadowblock_out">

<div class="shadowblock" style="background-image:url(http://www.farmads.ie/new/wp-content/themes/classipress/images/irishfarming.jpg)">

<?php echo get_option('cp_ads_welcome_msg'); ?>



</div><!-- /shadowblock -->

</div><!-- /shadowblock_out -->

<?php } ?>

thanks

thanks, it works

No problem, you're welcome.

How did you add and link the "Wanted Ads" in your main menu?
I have been trying to implement a similar thing on my site.

It is simply a link to a certain category.
Regards,

Thanks for all your comments.

One other thing I would need help with -

I put a link in my header to "Videos" This in fact links to the latest blog post, which is always a Video. So I basically use the blog only for videos.

If I wanted to use the blog for say Videos and Articles, but wanted seperate links, would I have to have two parallel blogs, or just set up seperate categories?

How should I do that?

Also is there a way to link to the latest blog post? Like a piece of php code that represents whatever the latest blog post is? Because right now I have to go into the header and footer files and change the link manually each time.

Any other critiques or ideas you may have on how I can improve the site would be welcome of course.
