Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Linking to wp list categoriesYou can create a category archive template in a similar fashion … have a look at this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates
It does seem more appropriate and is perhaps even easier to implement.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Linking to wp list categoriesIt sounds like you are looking to create a page template that has its content display your category list.
Have a read of this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages

In reply to: Can't get to the back end of my wordpress blogYour quickest point of access to the Administration Panels is via this link for your website: http://jewelryandgiftideas.com/wp-admin/
If you wish to have a second blog with a different theme (and a different domain) your easiest method is to register the new domain and have WordPress installed on it.
Learning WordPress is really dependent on how you learn best. There are many great books to learn from (visit you local bookstore); there is http://WordPress.tv; as well as, simply reading through the information found at http://codex.wordpress.org/
You can also join your local WordPress Meetup group as there should be one in your city if there are plans to have a WordCamp, which attending will also give you a great opportunity to learn and network with other WordPress users of various experience.

In reply to: link to my emailAlthough this could be Theme related (as well as this suggestion may be limited by the Theme you are using), you might consider a Custom Menu for your navigation where you create a custom link to be used for the “Contact” … mailto:name@example.com.
Generally speaking, a link to your site or at least to the active Theme you are using is always a great piece of information to share when asking for help.

In reply to: {help} submit theme questionsThe reviewer should have suggested something along this line to “hook” the function call:
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'warmHome_setup' );This is often written just before the function call, but can be just as easily written after the function.
The first notes are more general information and a reminder to thoroughly test a Theme before uploading it to be reviewed.
Please feel free to respond to the Trac ticket for your Theme as well, it is one of the best places to get feedback on issues that may be found with it.
@art – Glad it sorted itself out although I’m still curious what was causing the issue to begin with.
Thanks for replying … and best of luck with finding forever homes for the dogs and cats, too!
@art – Feel free to contact me directly regarding issues with my plugins. I often check these forums but for the quickest response contacting me directly or using the comments section on my site for the plugin may be better.

In reply to: Permalinks & SlugsDid you also empty the “trash”?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Permalinks & SlugsI’ve seen this happen when you have multiple pages with the same (or similar) title … are there other versions of the “Contact Info & Directions” page?

In reply to: How stop repeat of menu in page content, update-proof?I’ve seen this with other sites and perhaps it is your method of creating pages … are you including the title of the page in the body/content of the post and also writing the title of the page in the ‘Title’ box?
If not, then you should consider as you thought a Child-Theme which is generally very easy to make.
These pages should get you started:

In reply to: Site statThis seems related to the WordPress Stats plugin. You will need the credentials you used to log into your old dot-com account; then I would suggest installing, and activating, the new Jetpack plugin which includes the old WordPress Stats plugin.

PS: The dot-com login credentials will be needed to ‘authorize’ Jetpack.

In reply to: Putting a footer back inYour theme appears to be based on the former default (Kubrick) WordPress theme. I would imagine if you used it as your guide you will find the placement of the code easier.

In reply to: Menu in WP 2.7?First off, you should recommend in the most strongest of terms the customer update to the most current version of WordPress.
The reference to “menu buttons” doesn’t give enough information to really make any suggestions.

In reply to: Spacing between the items in the headerTry moving the social icons from the #logo container to the #search-box container … you may still need a bit of CSS to move them around but I would imagine that would get you closer to start.

In reply to: menus not working properlyYou’re welcome! Enjoy!
