In reply to: Setting a new page as the home page not working.If you want to solve the problem, there are a couple of ways to do it…hack the code or use a plugin. If you don’t know how to hack the code, then I would suggest you download and give the plugin I suggested a try.

In reply to: Do you need a seperate MySQL database for each installation?OK, but is there some advantage to using the same database? Or would it be easier or more difficult to administer if there were two?
Some people use a single db because their host limits the number of db’s they can create.
There are pros and cons to each approach, but if you can create an additional db, then I would recommend doing so…just keeps things a bit cleaner.

That is accurate and it’s the same thing you said.

In reply to: Edit post dates – How?The fact is that it’s easier to do it this way…
Well, I was going to offer to restore it for you, but if it’s easier for you to do it manually, okay…
Now back to my question: What’s the best way to change post order/dates?
Open each post individually and change the timestamp.

In reply to: Edit post dates – How?I’m manually duplicating an old WordPress blog (2.7.1), because it can’t be exported/imported automatically (a long story).
Not sure why that would be true…if you have the db, then it “should” be upgradable and would save you a lot of work.

In reply to: SQL Injection hackI don’t think they could actually change the password…just trigger an email to the admin to change it…which could be an annoyance. You may want to watch the following video for some security ideas.

Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: Are there limitations regarding AdvertisingAs long as you are hosting yourself, then you are only limited by the TOS of your host. If you are talking about a WP blog on wp.com, then that’s a different story…see the TOS there.

In reply to: Multiple themes in the same wp installationUse the theme switcher plugin:

See it on my site below…you can change themes in the header, but you could put this anywhere.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: HOW CAN I EDIT MY PAGES *BEFORE* UPLOADING FOR THE FIRST TIME?See the “How to Run WordPress on Your Windows Computer Using XAMPP” video for direction to set-up a local install of WordPress. Then when you are ready to move it, see the “How to Copy Your Online WordPress Blog to XAMPP on Your Local Computer or USB Drive” — Just reverse the process. Both videos are at the link below.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How do I make my header the image I made?In the original theme the header image is called in #page, like so:
#page { background:transparent url(images/header.png) no-repeat scroll center top; margin:0 auto; padding-top:0; text-align:left; width:999px; }Find that code in style.css and put the path to your image there.
I think you will still have some problems though with the size of your header, but once you get it showing, then you can adjust.
