Change Log:
===========

Version 1.0
	 - Released.
	 

Notes:
======

This theme is based on the default 2 column "Kubrick" theme for WordPress by Michael Heilemann. It is, therefore, fully compatible with WordPress versions 1.5, 2.0 & 2.1. If your particular WordPress installation works with the default theme then you should have no problems with this theme either, as most of the coding is exactly the same. The only real changes are some name changes and some new graphics.

On the subject of graphics, if you want to include your own typeface in the header (as part of the actual image) and you need to get rid of your blog title and byline, then it's quite easy to do. Edit your "style.css" file and find:

h1 {
	font-size: 3.8em;
	text-align: center;
	}

#header-image .description {
	font-size: 1.2em;
	text-align: center;
	}

Change it to something like:

h1 {
	position: absolute;
	font-size: 3.8em;
	left: -4400px;
	}

#header-image .description {
	position: absolute;
	font-size: 1.2em;
	left: -4400px;
	}

This way your blog will still have all the relevant information but it's all hidden away from view. This is a much better solution than just removing info from your header.php file.

Likewise if you want to move the positioning of your blog title and byline, change the above code to something like:

h1 {
	font-size: 3.8em;
	position: relative; left: 200px; top: -50px; width: 450px;
	}

#header-image .description {
	font-size: 1.2em;
	position: relative; left: 200px; top: -50px; width: 450px;
	}

Play around with the values a little bit to get your positioning just right. The "width" is there so that the text will only be a certain width across. This is useful if you have an image to the left or right that you don't want obscured by the title. If there's no image then you can discard the "width: 450px;" part.


Problems and Troubleshooting:
=============================

This theme is unsupported because there's really no need to support it. Everything you need to know can be found at the WordPress forum. Just search for whatever term you need in conjunction with the Kubrick theme. It's all there.
