Comment on Stallion Responsive SEO Theme Layout Options by SEO Dave.
The footer links CSS code is designed to show the links in a line one after each other with no list styling, when the line runs out of space it wraps to the next line, basically the same as the text in this comment. The footer menu is really designed for one line of links because there’s not a lot of space available, had to increase the size of the footer area a little on some of the Stallion colour schemes to fit one line in.
Most of the Stallion colour options have the footer links CSS code centered matching the other links within the footer, think it’s a couple of the new ones are right aligned.
For the footer links that are centered if you have links anchor text that does need more than one line it will wrap and center the text, if you don’t plan your footer links anchor text you could get a full line of links and a couple of words from the last link on the next line which wouldn’t look very good.
If you are seeing something else first try CTRL F5 to make sure you aren’t using cached CSS files, if that doesn’t help you could email me a screenshot as you might be seeing something I don’t see.
You can edit the anchor text of links within a WordPress navigation menu, so possible to fit more links on one line by reducing the words used.
The Facebook code can be an issue for some users, my wife had a site with a plugin that forced the site out of frames (was to stop Google images not loading the site, no AdSense revenue if the page doesn’t load and Google images only shows the image) and the plugin code was interacting with the buggy Facebook code causing a redirect loop in Internet Explorer only. I tried the bug fixes I found online at the time, but if I remember correctly they didn’t work. I’ve not checked Facebook developer site recently to see if they’ve fixed the bugs?
On the community aspect of blogs I’m with you 100%, if you create a site that users want to come back to day after day you’ve got a successful site. Funnily enough my jokes site is like that, but it’s a bunch of racists trashing each other rather than a real community!
Have you looked at the new recent comments page template I added to Stallion 6.2?
Example Latest 25 Comment Discussions, I’ll probably improve the output in a later update, would like to pull in the title comments and the ability to click a Reply to Link directly from that page. If I could get a comment form on that page to post the comments to the correct article etc… it would make the page a place for regular visitors to contribute to threads without having to load the article the comments are on: got a feeling that’s going to be hard to code.
