Black Hole: A WordPress Theme
Feb 4, 2007

Black Hole is my latest theme for WordPress versions 2.1 and higher. It’s a simple two column, black and white theme, with no images, and supports widgets in the sidebar.
Black Hole X an alternative style choice for Black Hole.
Black Hole uses an em based elastic layout. To see it in action, try changing the text size on your browser. If you are using Firefox, turn the scroll wheel while keeping CTRL pressed.

When viewing a single post with comments, I get horizontal scrollbar in Firefox and IE, it looks like the sidebar goes to the bottom of the page.

Hi, I’m currently using this design. Love its simplicity and layout. However, would it be possible to add images to it (for personal use)? I would want to do some edits but don’t know how.

ESTAN, you should be able to edit the source files found in
wp-content/themes/blackholefolder to add any images or other content to the template.Take a look at the WordPress site to get more information about theme development

hey Karmadude! Love the layout, but i’m having problems switching the headline . It currently says “black hole” but I would like to add an image instead. How would I be able to do that? Thanks!

You will have to edit the header.php file found in wp-content/themes/blackhole folder. You should be able to add your image to the div with id=”logo”.
If you need help doing this, let me know, I can send you a header.php file with the change you want.
Feb 23, 2007 | 10:54 am
that would be great! in the id=”logo” i’ve tried adding a url address and it threw the header off to the side. hmm?! thanks for your help, it’s greatly appreciated.

hey Karmadude, wondering if you’ll be needing my email addy if the changes can be made? please help! ( sort of in a rush) thanks again!

I am using your template and I thing it is great. I notice that in your demo, the search button in the sidebar is to the right of the entry form. On mine (with the widgets enabled) it is tucked in very close underneath. How do I get one like yours?
Mar 2, 2007 | 9:52 am
GARRY, if you can activate the widgets and search on your site, I can take a look to see what might be causing the style to change.

Thanks mate.
I have activated the search bar in the sidebar. As you can see, the search button is below the entry form instead of next to it.
I’d appreciate any help you can offer, thanks,
Garry

GARRY, I have found the issue with the search layout on your site. It looks like there is a line break between the text field and the search button. Here is the code
<div>
<input type="text" name="s" id="s" size="15" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</div>
The <br /> needs to be removed. Also for submit input, the id needs to be set to searchsubmit. Here is the original code from the theme
<input type="submit" value="Search" id="searchsubmit"/>
Hope that fixes your issue, let me know if it does not.

Thank you mate. That works a treat!

Why when you co on the single post page the template is larger horizontally?
Apr 17, 2007 | 9:27 am
@pregnantboy, I don’t see a difference. The sidebar is wider than it appears, but that size is consistent on all pages.
Are you seeing this in a particular browser? Could you give me some more details, and I can check into it. Thanks!

I use firefox and if I try the demo I see an horizontal scroll bar in the single post pages. My resolution is 1152×864.

Hey… I’m new to designing blog websites… I kind of would like a site like yours and was wondering if you could give me some of its code…
May 14, 2007 | 3:08 pm
@G, if you looking for the Black Hole theme, that code is available when you download the theme. However, if you are looking for Counterjumper code, that is not currently available, it’s a custom theme for this site. Sorry!

such a great theme. I’m trying to add the blog description under the bloginfo in the header using code:
/”>
but it’s taking a very big space between them.. help me Karmadude
May 27, 2008 | 10:07 am
