Eric,

Do you have a crystal ball you use to find these things. :D

And, yes that worked. I would have never tried that. I can only wish I had half the knowledge you have.

Thanks again.

Just glad to help. The site has come a long ways Ernie. Great job!
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I actually have Firebug installed and use it every great once in a while.

I actually found something weird on the index page of the site I'm tweaking. My bottom page image is set to a width of 1165px the same as the top image and the container width that sits between the images.

When I found the place in FB it shows the bottom image is 1152px. I guess I need to plug that 1152px number into the find function and see if it shows up in any of the css files.

That 1152px is your <div class="row footer-attribution">. There are 2, 6 col spans at 576px each with 8px padding for a total of 1168px.
It would look better at 'phone' size if the " Designed & Hosted by" and " E & L Products " were one sentence, centered in the same div.

If I remember there was a reason I did that.

I'll go and try it as one sentence and see what happens.

What I was talking about being 1152 was listed as the bottom page image. I'll grab a screenshot of everything and put some links. It will take me a little bit to get to that.

Thanks for the help and pointers.

I found your post about the link color issue, and this reply from Adam:
When Text Editing is added to RLM you will be able to color the link in RLM itself, you can color each letter a different color if you wanted all while assigning them with their own class so it can be used anywhere in your project.

So, maybe it's possible now to change your link color without having to make that line 2 separate DIVs or columns?

You could try a class or ID on your text links when they need to be different from other links, like this:
<p class="attribution">Designed & Hosted by: <a id="ernie" href="link">E & L Products</a></p>
Then you can specify in your CSS the attribution <p> properties and what the link ID properties should be.

Well, I wrote a fairly long post and it got nuked out.

Here's a picture of what I found about my bottom page image:

http://www.mytestblog.net/images/bottom-page-image.jpg

Check out the width in the pane on the right. (1152) If I select the top page image above, the width is 1165 and that's what both are coded as in RLM.

Now I'll try again on your last post. I am going to try and rebuild my footer structure for this site. I've been busy and totally forgot about being able to change font color in RLM. My bad. I'll see what I can do and hope I don't totally mess this footer up.

I'm keeping a backup of what I have now and will be putting the necessary files up on my test site.

Now I remember why I used two columns. I guess I just don't understand 'float'.

Back to digging through the tutorials.

I fixed the footer by making one text link, making 'ALL' the text a link and coloring it black.

That will work for now. Float doesn't work for me with what I was trying to do. I just couldn't figure out how to have a text element and a texk link on the same line and look right.

Now, I think I have something seriously wrong with this bottom page image on my index page. I will be putting another link up so anyone who wants to look can do that and not bother the live site.
