 * Hi Felipe,
 * Here’s the screen shot:
 * <script async src=”//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>
 * I’d like to get rid of that like bit text ‘Search For’ that sits over the search
   box.
 * Thanks, Andy.

 * Many thanks! That almost did the trick. I still need to get rid of the ‘Search
   For’ text just above the box.

 * Thanks, but the article doesn’t talk about how to customise a widget. I know 
   how to install a widget, place it in a sidebar and all that. I just want to change
   the appearance of a widget.

 * Hi Photocrati,
 * I’ve had the ‘Tables could not be created’ problem for about a year now. Haven’t
   found a solution yet.
 * I logged into my c-panel and located my wp-config.php file which I’m told is 
   my database file. There I changed permissions to:
    USER – Read, Write, Execute
   GROUP – Read, Write, WORLD – Read.
 * Is that right? What aren’t I doing right?
 * Some help would be appreciated. Tx.
 * I’m using WORDPRESS 4.7.2 and NextGEN Pro 2.3.63

 * Thanks so much for your help kafleg. I find it incredible that a current wordpress
   theme doesn’t have an easy way of placing social icons on the home page in a 
   prominent way. I know that you can get a plugin like Header & Footer, and place
   code in the header. But I haven’t got the skills with code to put the social 
   icons precisely where I want them to be. Looks like I’m going to have to spend
   money on paying a developer to do that. Meanwhile, if there’s anybody out there
   who has any other suggestions, I’d be very grateful for them. Thanks,

 * Thansk Kafleg. Most of the social plugins I’ve found are widget plugins, and 
   as far as I can see there isn’t a widget ‘space’ that’s clearly visible on the
   home page of the Hatch theme. As I said, I don’t want to put my social icons 
   in the footer. So if you have any suggestions for a social plugin that doesn’t
   need to go in a sidebar, then I”d be very grateful.
    Thanks

 * Thanks for that. The code I have for the tweet button is this:
 * > $alignment = $this->tw_get_option(‘tw_align’);
   >  if ($alignment!=’none’ && $
   > this->tw_get_option(‘tw_align’)!=null && $alignment!=”){ if ($alignment==’right’)
   > $alignstr = ‘;float:right;margin-left:10px;’; if ($alignment==’left’) $alignstr
   > = ‘;float:left;margin-right:10px;’; if ($alignment==’center’) $alignstr = ‘;
   > float:none;margin:0 auto;text-align:center;’;
 * The code I have for the Facebook button is:
 * > add_option(‘fblike_style’, ‘float: right; margin-left: 10px;’);
 * So what should I just to make the two buttons just sit next to each other on 
   the same line, rather than on top of each as they are at the moment: [link to page ](http://66.147.244.198/~andymorg/?p=219)

 * Thanks Matt,
    Your plug in will is valuable. However, I can’t believe that there
   isn’t a solid solution to let wordpress users automatically update their social
   networks when they post an article / blog. It’s too valuable a tool. If Hootsuite
   get their skates on and allow self-hosted sites to join in their system, then
   that might provide the solution. But whoever does it, it’s sorely needed. Thanks
   for everything, Andy.

 * Thanks Matt, thanks a lot. Your plug in does look great and I’ve just installed
   it. But I did a test ping from ping.fm and it didn’t register on my WordPress
   site. I don’t know what I’ve done wrong.
 * But that aside, my biggest question is: if your plug in works, will it allow 
   me to post something in WordPress and have ping.fm deliver that AUTOMATICALLY
   to Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin etc? That’s what I’m looking for. Posting status
   update in ping.fm and having them distributed is less important. Basically, I
   want my Facebook friends and Twitter followers etc to know when I’ve posted a
   new article on my blog.
 * Thanks for everything. Andy.

 * Actually, I’ve been searching and searching for a simple plugin / widget that
   collects subscribers e-mails and delivers them to you as a CSV or tab delimited
   list, or something like that. No Paid bulk mailing service tie-in, no integrated
   newsletter creation system…just the emails! Does anybody know of such a thing?
   
   Tx, Andy.
