   Dear Jennifer,

   When I was finally ready to design my first blog, I had a hard time finding anything that matched my companion website’s design sensibility, style, color scheme, and content. And then I found Raspberry Cafe, which I love, love, love (I especially love the leaf and berry bullets, etc.). Your other blogs are superb too. Nice eye for color, layout, style, and design related to content.

   I am having some problems with some of the functionality and I can’t seem to work out the kinks. I had a WordPress person take a look at some of the glitches and he couldn’t figure out what was causing some of them either.

   I am not at all, nada, no how, never been a techie, so please be patient. Could you please take a look at my website http://www.joinusattheembassy.com to see what if have maybe done wrong or don’t understand? I have my blog imbedded as a page in the nav bar. I will put the short list of things I have been trying to fix below. If you could help me with the problems I would be grateful. I am sending this message to you here because I could not find a direct email address to contact you otherwise, hope that is ok.

   Your response is much appreciated and I thank you in advance.

   Help Issues

   Cannot change image for header. Dashboard lets you upload a photo but then it doesn’t appear in the blog header. As a result it is keeping my blog title and tag from showing up in an area that is legible.

   Cannot figure out how to create a separate page that is just for links rather than in a blog roll (an example of this can be found on my website Links Directory page)

   Also, I got a plug in that supposedly lets you create a links directory page straight from your links in the dashboard but I have no idea how to do this.

   Is there a way to have my blog posts to be categorized rather than links to other sites?

   Rather than have my blog’s pages appear in the sidebar I would like to leave them off the sidebar so I can save this valuable real estate for other things. ( For me, since the page are already in the nav bar, I’m fine with that).

   For some reason, recent posts also don’t appear in the sidebar either.

   Thanks,

   Summer

   adorable theme, but for some reason I can’t get a photo to show up where you have the raspberry… i uploaded, cropped and saved – and it said “you should now see it on your front page” – but it’s not there… not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any thoughts? thanks!

   Love your clean-cut foodie themes. Will you be making any 3-column ones in the near future?

   I am trying to set up my baking blog and I wonder if I can use this theme but change the little leaf to little cupcakes instead…

   What a beautiful template! I downloaded it, installed it, and found it absolutely stunning in Firefox. Unfortunately, the sidebar is broken in IE. You should really make an IE stylesheet for this so it can be used! It’s just lovely!

   Thanks everyone! I haven’t had a chance to work on the themes in a while, but I’m going to be creating more and now I’ll try to address some of the issues with previous themes…

   Summer – to create a links page, just go to create a page, create a title for it, and then select “Links” as the template from the dropdown templates list and then publish it – your links should then show on that page.

   You should also be able to chance the sidebar items through widgets.

   As for the header problem, I’ll have to look into that.

   Clair – I will be creating lots of new 3-column foodie sites in the near future!

   Alice – yes, you are free to change the images. (Maybe you’ll want to have a look at the new Cupcake Cafe theme I’m releasing this week

   It should work in IE, I have it working OK in IE7 – what version are you using and what is not working? Sometimes if you add a large image to the content it can stretch out the content section and push the sidebar down the page – perhaps that’s what happened?

   Woohoo, thanks, Jennifer, can’t wait . Love the latest 3-column ones in white that you just posted. Food pictures look better against a white background somehow. Will be checking back soon, thanks again, your themes are simply beautiful.

   Thanks for the feedback! I was wondering whether people liked the dark or white background better.

   Hey Jennifer,

   Do you have any plans to make Raspberry Cafe compatible with WP 2.7 any time soon? Also, please contact me by email if you would be interested in doing some customization of the raspberry theme for me. I have it set up for my upcoming book and there are problems related to 2.7, etc.

   Thanks,

   Summer

    Hi – I’ve been using this theme for a few months — LOVE it — but am finding myself really in need of a 3-column design. Would you be willing to do that kind of customization or talk about what it would take? Please email — thanks!

    I was smitten with this theme ever since I saw it and now finally am realizing my dream of a recipe page where I can use it. But!
    I am running into some glitches – could this be because of WP 2.8??

    For example when I create a subpage to an existing page, it puts the subpage also right into the nav-bar (beside the other “parent”-pages). That is a major bother and I am not WP-savy enough to know how to fix it :-/

    We are using this theme and are running into issues on the sidebar because we recently did an update. Is there any chance for compatibility update?

    Thanks for the great work!!
