Now I admit that 1) I havn't really looked at teh CSS files and 2) sometimes I'm lazy. But your elegance with the integration solutions amazes me so much that there's got to be an elegant way to sort out CSS issues. I see that one of the posts you have not yet written, but is listed in the index is about the CSS files...when will we have the pleasure of reading your insights? thanks!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('13714','Suzanne'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('13714','Suzanne','HI Mark, I\'ve been reading through your series on integrating a WP theme, and am pleased with my results...but the CSS needs a little tweaking.

I think blocking the /shop/admin/ would also block the /shop/ as part of the process. The easiest way to block admin is by entering a meta-tag into your admin-header file though. Thats what I have always done... (even though the admin files are never spidered anyhow) Just put: META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW" Between your <head > and < /head> tags (Add a < bracket to each end. <strong><</strong> in front <strong>></strong> at end) Mark<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('13049','Mark'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('13049','Mark','@ Josh - \r\n\r\nGreat question that I dont know the answer to!!

Just put:

META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW”

Between your and < /head> tags

(Add a < bracket to each end. < in front > at end)

For the robots.txt file, you can only have 1, and it needs to be in the root of your domain.

A few questions: When we are integrating WP and BANS themes how do we deal with sitemaps and robots.txt? Do we have to create and submit a sitemap for the wp element in addition to the BANS auto generated one and if so is there any way to combine or link them? Do we need to create a separate robots.txt file for the WP element? Also, just to help my understanding of what kind of a beast we actually end up with here; Do I add content to and market both elements independently or can it be treated as a single entity? cheers Gerry<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('12810','Gerry Peters'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('12810','Gerry Peters','Hi Mark, great series.
