Definitely no limit. In most cases like you've described, it's likely you've added an somewhere - so recheck your code. If you can't find the mistake, send me a link to your codes so I can see it. 

Um, what was the question? Maybe it didn't get through to me?

If you came off anon (and showed me your coding), I could probably help more. Otherwise, there isn't much for me to explain. How is your HTML/CSS knowledge, is there anything specific you don't understand? You could always read up on Isotope which is the plugin I'm using and does all the filtering. 

Here are some screencaps if it helps: this is what the whole blog post looks like, as you can see near the bottom there is this terms and agreement box I am referring to. Sometimes the box make not be visible but the Direct Link underneath should be.

If the blog looks totally different to you, could you please screencap it for me? The only browser I haven’t checked if my blog is working correctly on is IE but Chrome, Firefox and Safari should be fine.

Sure, its possible. You have to choose whatever sliding header you're having and maybe adjust the heights but it's definitely possible. 

So you mean, nothing shows at all when you first reach the page until a date is clicked? To be honest, I'm not totally sure, but it might be something achievable if you try having a look at the Isotope page and it might be explained. Sorry, I can't be of more help. 

You don't "find" the code for the active link, you have to manually add the class "active" to the date in the calendar.

With some editing, you can change the #topbar to position: fixed. But you'll also need to add a background colour so it doesn't look weird when you scroll down. Or you could use a "sticky" plugin.

To be totally honest, it's a little disheartening to hear this but at the same time, it's something I already know.

One of the reasons I haven't released many themes recently, and go on long hiatuses, is because I have no new ideas to code. I've released 42 themes in total (not including the pages) and I might have already have reached the limit of new things I can personally think of.

Also, if you mean the latest themes in particular have been similar, it's kinda supposed to. They're all part of the "minimal series" and were actually all coded within the same month. I guess it doesn't help that they all use the exact same colours because full customized live previews can do wonders in masking simple themes.

When you say try new styles, what exactly do you mean? I'm not asking to be difficult but I genuinely want to understand. My overall style is near impossible to change as it's pretty much in the way I code, but if you mean specific features and layouts, I could try it.

At the same time I'm not going to release something that I feel is too similar to what is already provided (you wouldn't even believe the number of near-completed themes I have but never released because another theme maker had something similar). And I also don't want to jump onto trend bandwagons - I've already done the full screen welcome page/header thing, anyway, I'm certainly not going to make redux themes, and I hate those update box things because I find hovering for information, insanely annoying - I guess I could try the contained theme idea.

But yeah, I'm stuck in a creative rut. I know it and it's probably going to be that way for a while.

But I guess this is a good time to take suggestions of what people want to see (leave a reply or disqus comment)?
