Hi there,

Sorry, I meant to say "widgets AREN'T supported there by default" (I updated my statement above).

Thanks!

When i go to your Aid Charity theme there are no default footer widgets that I see. Can you point me in the right direction so that I can use the default footer widgets per your response above versus using my own custom widgets? thank you.

Hi there,

Unfortunately I'm not able to troubleshoot customizations to the theme. I see you made a lot of edits to the footer (widgets aren't supported there by default) and in other places.

Hope you understand I don't have the resources to research problems with code I didn't write. You'll need to retrace your edits to resolve this. If you continue to have issues with a default setup of the theme I'll be more than happy to troubleshoot with you.

Again, I hope you understand my time limitations in this regard.

Thanks!

Chris

I created a new page template for the blog so that the excerpts would show automatically for posts in the blog. I used the archive.php page as a template for the new blog page template. Everything looks great in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, but IE8 and IE9 are dropping the background to the site, the footer is all messed up, and no excerpts or meta date info is showing.

Here is the code to my blog template page and a link to the site, any help is greatly appreciated. thank you!
