    Thank you, Jan. I greatly appreciate the response. I will work on this over the next couple days. My host had fixed it for me initially so all I know is that it was working fine for a while afterwards and then started up again (first time a few months went by, second time a few weeks). This last time the parse error showed up immediately after he stated he had removed the malware, although I was able to access the CPanel again, which I could not before he intervened. Then he supposedly reinstalled WordPress for me, although I don’t really know what all was actually done, and the parse error still showed up. He told me that meant I had some files damaged. I have since read that some of this code can stay in there to reinfect. The weird thing is that when this started (the last time) I had received an email from Google saying my site had an issue, and a couple days later they wrote me back saying my site was reactivated on AdWords as there was no longer malware showing up (even though the site is not working). I wrote them back but have not received a response so far. This is what made it more confusing.

    Anyone have a clue why my tabs disappeared?

    Thank you so much, I’ll check. Anyone on the other issue? Having multiple pages doesn’t really work if none of the pages show any of the others. I can’t have my site showing just the home page- please help.

    OK, found some more info on pages so should have that figured out…

    Well, I’ve managed to make a static front page- didn’t figure out how to get rid of the post ‘window’ so that my text could just be placed where I want it over my background, but I changed colors so at least everything has a uniform look for now (although it’s not as I will want it in the end).

    But I am still struggling with the changing of the font size. I do not understand why someone would make a customizable theme that allows you to change all the colors, move everything around, etc. with a couple clicks, yet make it where you have to read code in order to find the right place to change a font size. With my previous theme I thought I had possibly narrowed down the line where I should try to change it, but then switched themes and now on this one I don’t even see where to change the CSS- I see the html page which has no font size info, but not the page that has the full code (Suffusion theme). Maybe my eyes are starting to fail me or I’m missing something I haven’t clicked again while I’m clicking everything ten times.

    Also, what if I need several static/non-blog pages?

    Thanks again. Hadn’t been able to work on it the past couple days- let’s see if I can start making some headway… :o)

    Thank you so much. I will definitely have to work on all of that.

    Another question- I had added a background to one theme I had activated- then I switched to a different theme and of course it was blank (I forgot to check but I’d assume my background image is in the folder if I want to add it) but when I switched back to first theme the background was still there. So I am just trying to figure out, what all automatically transfers into new themes when you switch and what does not? I understand the background maybe not being there as it might be assumed if you are switching themes you might want the new color scheme that comes with it, but what about any other customizations you’ve done? And when you do switch back to a previously-used theme, does it always in fact go to the version you created as it appeared to have done? Meaning, if I try out a new theme and decide I don’t like it and re-select any ones I have previously customized, all my work is saved as-is in that theme?

    Thank you, I will work on that. I assume I can create more than one static page? My site will probably be about 5 normal pages and then maybe I will leave one as a blog page to post current events or write some articles from time to time.

    Real stupid question- I am on there now putting up a comment that lets people know I’m working on the site- I see all the different options for text such as font, bold, italics, color, etc. but for the life of me I do not see where to change the size of the font. Am I blind, or is it maybe missing from the theme I chose? (Can’t imagine that would be the case as it is one of the supposedly more customizable ones).

    Oh, my apologies- I already realized I was wrong. Just that the new install had the identical initial page that I had seen weeks ago when I first did my page at WP- I see now that the two are different. so now I just need to figure out how to make it not be a blog-type setup.

    (@elvizapelvis)

    Good to know. I just loaded it to my site and am trying to choose a theme. But it still seems like all the ones I preview are set up to look like blogs. My site is not a blog. Is there a way to search for themes that are for ‘normal’ sites? Not sure what the search term should be.

    Furthermore I just now realized it immediately started showing up under my url when I have done nothing to build it yet- wasn’t really looking to have it online while I’m trying to make the site, right now it has absolutely no info related to my business. That would be fine if I knew I could get the whole site built in a few hours but I doubt that’s going to happen. I thought the page I made on WordPress.com would be residing there if I chose to use it as a blog, and what I was loading onto my hosting account was a separate thing yet to be built. Sigh…

    Excellent point. I’ve definitely read some great reviews which is why I started considering it even though I had already begun working with the other program. I’m sure with either it’s still going to take me some time with the learning curve but I’m willing to spend the time if I know I can get good results. Just wanted to make sure that once you figure out the basics it’s fairly easy and not constantly causing more work.

    Thanks so much. It’s not that I need anything super fancy. Just want it artistic and a bit unique. Once I get the main thing built it will only need occasional adding of text and photos. Not a blog but just a regular site mostly. I appreciate you both taking the time to explain. I enjoy figuring things out on my own but it’s also nice to hear others experience to help you make a decision sometimes.

    Thanks for the info, I am going to give it a try. :o)
