I’ve received a ton of positive feedback on Brand New Day since it first launched–I’m glad so many people are enjoying it!
Now I have great news for those who like the theme but don’t have a self-hosted WordPress installation: You can now find Brand New Day on WordPress.com!
That’s right, if you already have a blog on WordPress.com you’ll find Brand New Day by going to your administration area, selecting Appearance -> Themes and clicking on Newest. You’ll have access to the same theme options and styles as the self-hosted version.
If you don’t have a WordPress blog yet… well, what are you waiting for???
Hi Caroline,
Just stumbled upon this theme. My wife likes it a lot and would like to use it for her site, however there seems to be a problem with displaying the title correctly in IE7. In FF, Chrome and IE9 this works fine.
Also when I remove the search box (via the options menu) the tagline is shown on multiple lines.
What can i do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Jan
Hi Jan,
Glad you and your wife like the theme! To start, if you’re using the theme on a WordPress.com website, there’s not much I can do as I don’t control the theme files there. You’d need to contact WordPress.com support for that.
If you’re using the theme on a WordPress.org installation, I can help:
You might be able to fix the title problem in IE 7 by replacing lines 435-449 in style.css with this:
.title,.title a:link,
.title a:visited {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 55px;
font-weight: bold;
position: relative;
text-transform: lowercase;
letter-spacing: -4px;
float: left;
display: block;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: -10px;
line-height: normal;
}
That said, I don’t officially support IE 7 as it’s two versions past, so you may run into other problems along the way. I’d highly recommend upgrading to IE 8.
To troubleshoot the tagline problem I need a link. Go ahead and post your question here with a link to the site so I can look at the source and see what’s up. I’m consolidating all my support on the forums so others can benefit as well:
