In reply to: Sidebar displaying incorrectlyYou’re running into problems with the default images used in the theme…hacking the code without considering the images. The one causing this problem is here:
http://themusicophile.com/wp-content/themes/inove/img/sidesep.gif
Remove it and that problem goes away.
I also noticed you removed all reference to theme being iNove…while that is perfectly “legal”, you may get more help in the future if you give credit somewhere to the theme author–just a suggestion.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionIf it’s intermittent, then it’s probably your hosting company…server and/or db crashing or dropping the connection.
EDIT: I see a banner in your sidebar that reads:
“The servers which host this website/blog are powered by 100% wind energy”
Maybe the wind is a little erratic 😉

In reply to: HOWTO: Keep WordPress SecureThe elevator should let you get off at each floor securely.
Well, here is the elevator you are talking about.

That’s a lot of floors. Can you imagine the difficulty of doing security patches to, say the 2.2 branch? The coding could have changed so much between now and then, that it could be nearly impossible to “secure” it without a major overhaul. You say you want 2.7, but someone else may want 2.6–you know, before all the “nasty” auto-upgrade stuff–so where do you stop?
I understand headachs that are sometimes involved with upgrades, but expecting developers who give this stuff away for free to keep every major branch they release up-to-date is asking a bit much–in my opinion. Of course, if you have a boat load of money you want to put toward this, I’m sure someone could accommodate 😉
For what it’s worth–I have absolutely no affiliation with official WordPress stuff…just a user expressing an opinion.

In reply to: Custom Header WidthIt’s going to be difficult to make your image variable width unless you cut out part of it and make it repeat across the page. The simplest solution may be to find the following code in style.css:
div#page { text-align:left; width:100%; }and add a background color like this:
div#page { background-color:#000000; text-align:left; width:100%; }I don’t think that is built-in, but it should be doable…just look at the code and see how it determines the theme when you select one and use the same method in your link.

In reply to: image frame unwantedLooks fine to me.

In reply to: image frame unwantedLink so we can see it?
I use the theme switcher plugin:

See it on my site in the header…of course, you can add the code to display the switcher anywhere you want.

In reply to: Hosting for a client and domain name transferYou need to find out where the domain name is registered, get a login to that account, and then set the name to resolve to the DNS servers provided by the host.

In reply to: HOWTO: Keep WordPress SecureAt each version, there should be a “final” secure version.
There is no such thing.
We look forward to version 3.0.1 (because 3.0.0 will have bugs).
All versions past, present, and future will have bugs.
Disclaimer: I’m not a developer…just a logical thinker 😉

In reply to: Comment moderation except for registered membersHummm…I haven’t thought of that before, but it doesn’t seem that combination isn’t available in the admin area. Seems the closest you can get it to check “Comment author must have a previously approved comment”…then once you approve them once, they can post without approval from then on.

In reply to: How to Moderate Comments in WordPress 2.8.4.That option should be in the Settings/Discussion area in your admin panel.

In reply to: How do you flow text around a picture in the post editor?Sorry…I was thinking about an older version and about wrapping text around right or left…not sure how to get the image in the middle of a block of text with the text wrapping around it…

In reply to: Moving within server – Links and ImagesThere is a chance there will not be missing images…just depends on the path to the image you have in the db.
