   I need to make an .htaccess file in my wp-admin folder. What do I need to add and how do I do that? I'm a newbie with that one.

   And how do I add a "Back to Top" link at the bottom of my posts? In my homepage I have 8 posts. I want to add a Back to top link next to where it says the comment number.. Is that possible?

   Thanks!

   Check out http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/htaccess/1

   Basically you're making a file named .htaccess - it's just like any other file.

   As for Back to Top, it's twofold.

   1. use an empty, named anchor somewhere near the top of the page (<a name="top"></a>)
   2. Make a link at the bottom of your post: <a href="#top">Back to Top</a>

   Ok I'll look into that .htaccess link later tonight.

   And as for the top deal. Is there a way to make it an automatic feature? I think that was too much to ask :) But thanks for you time and answers!

   Automatic .... Sure, just put it in your template.

   Put <a name="top"></a> in your header.php (right after the name of your blog should work).

   For your front page, edit your index.php and add <a href="#top">Back to Top</a> to the Loop section.

   Example:
   header.php
   <?php if(is_home()){bloginfo('name');} else {} ?><?php wp_title(); ?><a name="top"></a>

   index.php
   

   <div class="entry-content">
     <?php the_content('Continue Reading »'); ?>
     <?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
     <p class="postmetadata"><?php comments_number('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?> | <?php the_tags( '&nbsp;' . __( 'Tags ' ) . ' ', ', ', '|'); ?> <a href="#top">Back to Top</a> | <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit'), '', ' |'); ?>
   </div>

   The only reason I DON'T suggest actually using the top link as a link is that... well, a name will format that header as a link, and generally I don't want it to do that.
