Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Install WP for Company IntranetThe key here you need to forget you ever heard the word “localhost” if you want to setup a server accessible by others. Every computer in the world thinks that its name is localhost… so when that’s in the browser window the browser looks to the local computer, not a server.
With that out of the way…
If you have a server on your company LAN it must have a [DNS resolvable] name that folks know it and access it by. When you install WordPress on that server, be sure to specify that name when setting up the URL for access (not localhost). Even if you are working on WP from that server use that name in the URLs, not localhost, and you’ll be just fine.
Did that make sense?

In reply to: How do i make my blog no-follow again?Another place to check would might be your theme’s functions.php file. Perhaps you added something there?

In reply to: How do i make my blog no-follow again?Most dofollow blogs are running a plugin to take care of that — have you checked your plugins? Which ones are you running?
I feel for you. I tried the dofollow thing for quite a while a few years ago. Found it to be a marvelous way to get listed on sites and attracted thousands of spammers. Now, years later, I’m still showing up on those dang lists and still getting those silly spammers (oh sorry, “PR/SEO Experts”) </bitter>
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Uninstall help, pleasePart of the concern is that WP inserted some hooks without telling me
I can promise you that is not the case. WP does not create any local file associations on your PC.
—The folks who support MAMP can best tell you how to remove their product. I’d guess it has an uninstaller of some sort? Go ahead and get that uninstalled first — that’ll take care of any MySQL and Apache services/daemons you’ve got running. The MySQL uninstall should remove your WP database as well.
Once that’s done just delete the local WordPress directory you created.
Sorry it didn’t work out.

In reply to: Post id numbering – auto increment values?Yes, it is normal. Your posts do get sequential IDs, just not without gaps 🙂 I guess you could say it is working as designed.
If you peek in the posts database table, you’ll see that IDs are used for a variety of different types of records, including posts, drafts, revisions and even images associated with posts.

In reply to: Can't change WordPress address (URL)As soon as you edit the wp-config.php and remove those hard-coded URL statements the problem goes away… Of course, be sure to back up a copy of that file before editing.
I could be wrong, but I’m not aware of any hosts automagically putting those statements in the wp-config. (not defending BlueHost here, but perhaps you’re jumping to the wrong conclusion). Did you or somebody else recently move or migrate your WordPress install? The Moving_WordPress documentation mentions using those statements, perhaps someone did and neglected to remove them when done.

In reply to: Someone else's ads on my new blogs, please help!As I recall, wordpress.COM can show adds on sites to folks not logged in as a user. See the last paragraph here http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/
However, we don’t support wordpress.COM here. We’re the .org folks, support people installing WordPress at their own sites. You’ll want to try their forums at http://en.support.wordpress.com/
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: tanzakuOne option would be to use Custom_Fields to store a link to the image. You’d have to modify your theme a bit to pull the link from those custom fields but it is certainly an option.

Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Hack or Bogus CommentsWhich Antispam plugin(s) are you running? At a minimum you might consider activating the free Akismet plugin that comes with WordPress.
