   Hi,

   I am setting up my new blog at http://www.myhairdesigns.com and I really need some help please.

   1) I put tabs at the top of my home page for the different pages I am going to have. When I did so, they replicated themselves on the left sidebar... what the heck? Why? I have tried and tried to remove them from the left sidebar but I can't figure it out.

   2) On the left sidebar, I would just like to have One Heading "Local Salon Pages" and then as I get them I would like to add their links to the salon's page on my site... you know, by listing the salon's name and you click it to go to their page. But I can't get it set up that way.

   3) I would like to have a "Slideshow" of two pictures that rotate to two different pictures and I would like it to be right on the top center of my home page where it currently has "My first post". I don't know how to put a slideshow there.

   4) I need to put a downloadable photo use consent form on a page so that people can download it, sign it, and send it back to me. Unless you have a better idea for this?

   5) I found a place on the internet that has Celebrity Photos and I would like to incorporate a page on my site that shows Celebrity Hair Styles. How do I do this?

   I'm just a newbie at this and struggling to learn it myself. After trying to do this, I have a lot of respect for those of you who do this! Please help me if you can. Thanks.

   Find this code in the sidebar and delete it:
   <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=' . __('Pages:')); ?>

   2) On the left sidebar, I would just like to have One Heading "Local Salon Pages" and then as I get them I would like to add their links to the salon's page on my site... you know, by listing the salon's name and you click it to go to their page. But I can't get it set up that way.
   Use the built in links/bookmarks. Set up a category called "Local Salon Pages" and add your links, link titles and descriptions there.

   Delete the old bookmark code:
   <?php wp_list_bookmarks('title_after=&title_before='); ?>

   And put in its place code that tells WP only to call links from your "Local Salon Pages" category:
   <?php wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=&category_name=local_salon_pages'); ?>

   3) I would like to have a "Slideshow" of two pictures ... [snipped]
   Find a Random Image plugin to help with that.

   I'd suggest a category called Celebrity Hairstyles rather than a static page. And I'd be very careful about copyright infringement, fair use notwithstanding.

   Yeah, some of us get paid for doing all this. :)

   I looked at your site, Cookie, and it looks like you still have the default widgets. Once you go to your widgets page and choose at least one, they'll become inactive.
