In reply to: Server change – website gone?I get a “500 internal server error” message. FF on OSX, I’m in the US.
If it’s within 24 hours, give it some time before you start worrying. generally these things resolve themselves *after* 24-36 hours.

In reply to: My custom page is not appearing … all whiteusually a blank white page means “PHP error.” Since there’s no error message appearing, then you have error reporting turned off, and you’ll have to look in your log files to see where the error lies (the message will tell you *exactly* where the issue is)
You didn’t really provide enough code to see what’s going on – what you’ve got there looks fine. I’d say the link itself isn’t the issue, since it’s appearing and working fine – it’s something on the page, most likely the template file for that particular page.
There’s several plugins and methods for doing this that are already available. I do a pro-bono site for a local nonprofit, and they use this one, but I’ve done others that use Constant Contact or Vertical response for that exact thing. Those are external providers though, and you’d have to look at their documentation on how to do it.

In reply to: Increasing excerpt lengthYou mean use something like this in your *theme* functions.php 9ratehr than edit core code), right?
function fix_the_excerpt($text) { return str_replace('[...]', '...', $text); } add_filter('the_excerpt', 'fix_the_excerpt'); function my_excerpt_length($length) { return 20; // Or whatever you want the length to be. } add_filter('excerpt_length', 'my_excerpt_length');Alternatively, you could use this plugin.
Oh, my God. Of course, right after I post this, I found the answer. And by none other than the awesome Lester Chan. Duh.

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Help no styling after serve switchYou got WordPress to run on a windows server? Good on ya – personally I find that to be *really* difficult to pull off. I’ve only done it myself twice, and it wasn’t easy (at least not for me).
I did a little searching of the forums, and apparently I’m correct – if you’re on a free GoDaddy account, WP doesn’t run properly on it (that last link supposedly has a reply from GD themselves, which backs up what I say). If you want a free WP account, you should go sign up for a blog over at wordpress.com, or upgrade to a paid hosting account.
Oh, yes – I’m sorry. I must have mis-read, Yes, NextGen requires you put all images in a designated folder for that.
I’ve never actually used a plugin to deal with images already on the site before, so I can’t help much there. That being said, I *have* used lightboxes and such – and I do know that you can edit the size of the image’s appearance with CSS. Usually these plugins come with a stylesheet that’s applied – all you have to do it edit the stylesheet to meet your exact needs. So if Flexible Lightbox does what you want (just shows the wrong size), and you like it, use it – just edit the stylesheet to make the sizes show up how you want.
>>I’ve installed and activated several but they didn’t work at all or displayed the image way too big, or used the thumbnail image and tried to expand it which made it look horrible.<<
Very odd, since Next Gen does what you want. All you have to do is edit the stylesheet to have it display the images in the size you want. Using it out of the box just generates the default size and settings – you’ve got to change the settings and edit the stylesheet to customize it.
