Hello,
I'm a bit of a noob but here goes:
I've been customizing the water-drop theme to fit my colors, etc. I thought great, looks good, time to add categories.
I go home to see how it looks and they category names/descriptions are aligned in the middle. I have checked my style.css and index template and all looks like how it should be. I'm just at a lost and turning to the experts for help.
my site is
www.madsland.net/gallery so you can see what I am talking about.

How I learn a lot is by viewing page source and inspect element. When viewing page source it shows:
<!-- Start standard table -->
<table align="center" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" class="maintable ">
<tr>
<td class="tableh1" width="80%" align="left">Category</td>
<td class="tableh1" width="10%" align="center">Albums</td>
<td class="tableh1" width="10%" align="center">Files</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="catrow_noalb" colspan="3"><table border="0"><tr><td align="left"></td><td align="left"><span class="catlink"><a href="index.php?cat=2">Magazines & Articles</a></span>Scans from various print media, like newspapers and magazines.</td></tr></table></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="catrow_noalb" colspan="3"><table border="0"><tr><td align="left"></td><td align="left"><span class="catlink"><a href="index.php?cat=3">Movies, Stage & Television</a></span>Various stills and images from Mads' varied career in movies, stage and television.</td></tr></table></td>
</tr>
So I go to my style.css to look up tableh1 and it shows:
.tableh1 {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, sans-serif;
background : #C0C1D5 ;
color: #31307E;
font-weight:bold;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-bottom: 3px;
padding-left: 10px;
I also looked up catrow_noalb:
.catrow_noalb {
background: #CBD7DE ;
color : #000000;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-bottom: 3px;
padding-left: 10px;
Then looked up catlink:
.catrow {
background: #F2F5F7 ;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-bottom: 3px;
padding-left: 10px;
my index.template has this: (I did not include all the closing tags in this quote at the end just to save space)
</head>
<body>
{CUSTOM_HEADER}
<td align="center">
<table width="940px" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="20">
<tr>
<td valign="top" style="border: 1px solid #31307E; background-color: #31307E;">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%" align="center">
<img src="http://www.madsland.net/gallery/images/MadsLandHeader-01.jpg"><br><br>
{SYS_MENU}<br />{SUB_MENU}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="15" alt="" />
<table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
{ADMIN_MENU}
{MESSAGE_BLOCK}
{GALLERY}
{CUSTOM_FOOTER}{CREDITS}
I went to theme.php
and I cannot view anything there.
I hope I provided the right information. I'm pretty new at this but think I'm doing pretty good until this...it seems it should be something so simple.
Thank you for any assistance provided.
