Hi

I'm testing the blog on my localhost, but the main bosy text (menu blog etc) appears momentarily and then disappears.

I've tried in IE8, Chrome and Firefox and get the same problem, but with IE8 in "compatability mode" the page shows fine. Any ideas?

What theme are you using?  Try changing the theme to Minima or Minima 2 via the admin.  I think this is only an issue with the Andrea theme.

Hi

Nothing quite like a quick and simple solution... it works :-)

Try changing the theme to Minima or Minima 2 via the admin.  I think this is only an issue with the Andrea theme.

The question I'm really curious to know now is: What is the bug with the Andrea theme?

I'll probably design my own theme/css and it would be really great to have the answer to this so that I can avoid any problems. Thanks.

I am having the same issues with the Andrea theme.
That theme is beautiful and it is the one I want to use, so...
How can we fix it?

Ok, I fixed it.
I installed http://www.dotnetblogengine.net/.
No problems, 100% CSS and XHTML compliant.

I cannot believe i did not try it before. To "fix" the "andrea" theme, all you have to do is add this in the "style.css" file of the theme:

It comes with: (line #487)

Code:

#footer {
background:#002a53;
position:relative;
font-size:11px;
color:#4e8abe;
margin:0 auto;
padding:10px;
width:680px;
text-align:left;
}

You have to add a "z-index":

Code:

#footer {
background:#002a53;
position:relative;
font-size:11px;
color:#4e8abe;
margin:0 auto;
padding:10px;
width:680px;
text-align:left;
z-index:-1;
}

And it will show correctly.
