In reply to: Bluehost Subdirectory 404but it applies in basically the same way for an addon domain
From what I gathered he is not dealing with an addon domain…it’s a subdomain/subdirectory issue.

In reply to: Bluehost Subdirectory 404First, let me admit, I hate it when people ask why…but I have to ask, WHY? Either go with a subdomain or subdirectory.

In reply to: How to keep local WordPress updated with latest posts?There is no “sync” option
I was talking about a sync option for files (wp-content)…not the db.

In reply to: Do I need to have domain available to start WP blog?Set-up a local install and work on your theme…then when you switch, just upload it to your site. See the following video for setting up a localhost install using XAMPP.

In reply to: How to keep local WordPress updated with latest posts?So it’s basically re-creating the whole database and files?
No, it’s re-creating the db tables…which, on an average size db, takes all of about 5 seconds. I do this all the time on a 500mb (relatively large) db…takes a couple minutes to dump and download the live db, a couple minutes to search/replace the url, and a couple of minutes to import into my localhost install using bigdump.
I’m sure there are other, more advanced ways, but this is simple…not a lot of chance for error and it works every time.
If you want your files as well, then you need to copy down your wp-content…I guess you could set-up some kind of sync program for this, but unless you are talking about gigs of stuff, then I really don’t see a reason…

In reply to: How to keep local WordPress updated with latest posts?Do I simply repeat the database export/import process?
Yes, that will work…just drop the tables from your localhost install and import new sql file…all should be the same then — except for any new stuff in wp-content (uploads, themes, plugins)
Try finding this in style.css:
.post { padding-bottom:5px !important; }and add about 10px of padding to the right like this:
.post { padding-bottom:5px !important; padding-right:10px; }Forum: Everything else WordPress

In reply to: Change header image?I need to know how to change the font to a few I have downloaded,
I don’t understand…you don’t download/install font like you do on your computer for a wordprocessor application…you change the font in the theme stylesheet.
and how to change the font on the middle black bar on the homepage that says currently “swear to fly” which is my sites name.
I don’t see “swear to fly” on this site?
If you want to change the background image of header, then it’s here:

The image is actually the entire background, but the very top part makes the header…just edit that image or create another one and replace it.
