I’m using Mimbo 2.2 on a site, a couple of notes:
You need the reveal Id… plugin so your catagorie ID numbers can be pasted into the php code mods. (wordpress dropped the id# display along the way)
Mimbo appears to be pre wordpress 2.5, one consequence; image positioning doesn’t come out like the edit window, there is patch code available tht can easily be pasted into the styles.css file
If code in comment is allowed: go to themes/edit/stylesheet (styles.css) past after the end the following
/***** Patches for image positioning updating theme for 2.5+ *****/
img.alignleft {
float: left;
margin: 5px 10px 0 0;
}
img.alignright {
float: right;
margin: 5px 0 0 10px;
}
img.centered, img.aligncenter {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
.alignright {
float: right;
}
.alignleft {
float: left;
}
/***** Tacked on to add image border (copied from Business Blogging 101 theme) *****/
