In reply to: [REQUEST] Sidebar editor pluginI am not quite sure what you mean by plugin for sidebar for wordpress admin CP
for the sidebar on a theme look in your wp-content/themes/whateveryourthemeis
and edit with notepad sidebar.php or right-sdebar.php or whatever the file is.
did you do it so the permissions are recursive and not just on the main folder?
Ie
chmod -R 766 wp-content/whatever-your-theme-isyou have to make sure the individual files are set and not just the folder
I am not sure if it needs execute too or not.. i think ine are set to 766 and I did the individual theme directory, not the whole wp-content

In reply to: Graphic shadingI have seen CSS that will allow you to add shadows to Titles and H1, H2 titles… is that similar to what you are wanting or are you looking to add drop shadows to the actual images? I am sure you could do that with css too..
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Category IndexI am not sure if it is what you are looking for, but on my site, I use the “Fold Category” and “Fold Page” plugins. For example, on Aleeya.net if you goto the ABOUT page, on the left it lists the sub pages. If you click on Kudos (Pages) it hides the about sub pages and expands the Kudos Pages.
Using the Fold Categories, it does the same… clicking on Word Press on the left expands the sub categories.. and I am using a similar plugin for the archives of 2003,2004 etc

In reply to: Cathegories in aphabetical orderNot a problem, glad I could help.
I REALLY like the theme you are using.. that looks very sharp! The layout really is great! I like the crinkly paper look of the background and the “artist” look and feel of it. I admit, I cannot read it in the language it is in, but the look of it is awsome. KEep up the good work!

Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: WordPress site to promote my own businessI like the colours and the puzzle pieces. One thing I noticed offhand was the footer is a bit light. I would darken that text some to make it more distingusable.
I, personally would take the css and JS in the header of the page and make a seperate stylesheet. Many search engines look at X number of characters while pulling and a majority of the source page is taken up by the header.
Also, dont forget to add keyword and description elements in meta tags. Many search engines do not use keywords, but most all use the description.
I would also duplicate all your main navi links in the footer of the page (So they show on all pages). This would include all the sub links on the profile page. If you design sites, then you want to have it so a screen reader can read the links as well as the image links at the top. True, you have alt wording for the images, but text links of main navi are great for users who still have 800×600 and 1024×768 screens and do not show the whole page and have to scroll down. A User friendly thing. Also, for text links, you might want to add the sub pages so someone can go straight to the about page or other pages in profile withouth haveing to click through (less clicks)
Overall, I really like the site. Easy to navigate, clean looking and asthetic.
Dont forget to add terms of service, privacy policy, disclaimer pages too and keep them in the footers. Since you are a business and have a contact page where you submit info, people like to know what you do with that info and be reassured that the email addresses are not resold to other companies. Often overlooked, for businesses, it can be a very big deal.
