In reply to: Moved Blog, Barred Admin Access, RedirectingGrab the program phpMyAdmin and use it to make the necessary changes directly in the database on your new host. This should take care of it.
This page about the usage of phpMyAdmin will help you.

In reply to: blog.Kibodande.netI was looking at it in FF, as well. I constantly forget to check out my own blog in broken IE. 🙂 Ensure that you validate both your XHTML and CSS. Once that is done, look at the CONTENT and SIDEBAR tags and see if they are overlapping by any chance.

In reply to: blog.Kibodande.netOk first things first, don’t care for some of the headers. But hey it’s your blog! 🙂
Second, the default font for your post is no good. I would suggest getting away from Times New Roman or whatever the hell that is.
Next, the actual posting style is very distracing. You have very long sentences/paragraphs with no breaks. That makes reading your post a little tough. You should break your posts down into smaller sentences and paragraphs. Cuz honestly I just won’t read blog posts that just go on and on. 🙂
It’s good that you are focusing on content rather than worrying about random plugins and crap. But make the content more presentable and people might visit and stay to read.
Lastly, on the theme. Things look OK when I’m on the main page, but clicking on any single post seems to bring on the default Kubrick theme, you might want to fix that.

In reply to: Empy DashboardThe Feeds are not working for you. Who is your host? Some hosts seems to configure their systems to disallow the feeds from being read properly on the dashboard.

In reply to: Complete site powered by WP?I see no extra plugins or modules there, they’re all just a bunch of pages. Pretty easy to make this up actually.

In reply to: What is the most sable theme to work withYou will find that many themes are derived from the Kubrick(default 1.5) theme. But there are definitely many new creations out there.
As far as that theme is concerned, looking at the sources I see “wp-content/themes/mythemev2/style.css” indicating that it’s a custom theme.

In reply to: What is the most sable theme to work withI find that most themes are stable, the ones that use the least amount of “extra” plugins fare better. So it truly comes down to what STYLE of a theme you are looking for.

In reply to: Contact Form plugin and SPAMoriecat, that’s a damn good question. Majority of the spam I got was pretty much along the lines of “sdfdshfadf@<mydomain.com>” and nothing in the body of the email, so real useless spam. If you’re gonna spam me, at least send me some deals on software or Viagra!
There were however a few emails that claimed to have a 1k or so attachment. I direct all of my contact form messages to my gmail.com account, so perhaps it was just how Gmail was interpreting the content. I don’t know.

In reply to: error logFilters and Actions are WP’s way of providing plugins a way of doing some work for you. When you want to “filter” content you use the “add_filter()” command and put in your function.
When you want to take an “action” based on something else, like posting, editing and so on, you use the “add_action()” command.
The remove_filter/action() do the opposite. These are basic WP functions that should essentially never be undefined.
From the looks of it, I would say that your WP installation is a little messed up.
What version of WP are you using? What have you installed/uninstalled recently?

In reply to: Change checkbox to radio buttonEdit the file /wp-admin/admin-functions.php and look for the function “write_nested_categories()”. You will find the call to “type=checkbox” in there, just change that to radio to get the functionality you want.
In my VERY limited testing, I had no problems with that change, but your mileage may vary.
