Theme development

Hey folks, I'm trying to develop a theme and there is one piece of code that I cannot for the life me isolate in order to change/modify.

Here is the code as it comes from my veiw source:

I just noticed that my RSS feed is outputtng very short teasers for each item in the feed (check out my feed; http://www.antisoc.net/rss.xml). I'm using flexinode, so I assume that might be the problem. I had a similar problem when it came to actually displaying nodes on the website itself. I got around the issue by doing some custom node-based themeing and I utilized a trim script (from the summarize phpTemplate snippet here).

We are looking to hire a Drupal expert to help us create a custom theme. If you are interested please send me an email (reich.robert@gmail.com.)

thanks

Hey guys

I'm quite sure all this stuff is really easy so I'm going to blame placenta brain for a) not being able to figure it out and b) not being able to find it after searching (probably using stupid keywords ;)

Anyways:

1. my forum is kitted out with flatforum, and alternating colours are working nicely. However I would like the original post to have a white background rather than the alternating backgrounds like the comments have. Can this be done?

2. The next and previous forum post links are appearing directly under the post and above the user's signature. Is it possible to move it under the user's signature and above the $links?

3. Is there a way to stop edited comments moving to the bottom of the thread? Seems a bit silly to me to take it out of context. Otherwise I'm going to have to turn off editing and while it might be great for purposes of integrity (preventing people from changing the context of the post etc) I think the users might be upset if they suddenly aren't allowed to edit their posts :) (trying to make the drupal forums look appealing to an entire community that's being shunted over from their nice safe phpbb).

And while I'm on the subject of editing, if we don't turn it off people want to see one of thoser revision mark things of the "Last edited by [whoever]. Edited [x] times in total." type nature. There a module for this? I thought allowing people to view revisions on nodes would do the trick but apparently not.

Hi,

I would like to replace the default black color header in the mollio theme with a graphic header I created in photoshop.
What section of the css should I edit in order to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,

I'm working on a layout that has a fairly narrow centre column. When viewing any of the pages with forms on them, the text areas are so wide that they overlap the centre column.

How do I change the width of the text areas?
