In reply to: My site is ranked high in google, but no traffic.I realise it’s not your site, was merely drawing a comparison to the content, keywords, url etc. The point I believe I’m trying to make is your site is extremely similar to that of failblog. So I’m not sure what your point is posting here?
“Just because you build it, it doesn’t mean they will come”.
A high ranking, good SEO and AdWords doesn’t automatically translate into traffic is another point.

In reply to: My site is ranked high in google, but no traffic.Hi bretrichter, is this a WordPress problem?
When you search for your terms, Failblog.org is ranked #1. Perhaps that is just what people are searching for.

In reply to: Login redirects back to loginAfter it refreshes, try going to yoursite.com/wp-admin/, as sometimes I find the referrer url is the login page, which continues to display, but you’ve actually logged in.
See if you can access the Admin panel anyways.

In reply to: Cannot view pagesThat is normal, you’re trying to point the .htaccess file away from the default wordpress install, and therefore you can’t access anything (404’s). This is normal. I would suggest searching for a better plugin to achieve what you’re trying.
Good luck with it.

In reply to: IE Crash IssueNo problem.
I normally download the Boiler Plate from their site and build a theme from scratch or I have a theme I prepared myself where I have stripped out what I don’t need. But I find it the best, I see you use the 960 grid CSS along with it, so both get the thumbs up from me. I find they reduce the incompatibilities across browsers, leaving me free to concentrate on smaller issues.
I’m only going by the error report my system produced, and keeping in mind it was on a Windows XP VM running a native IE8 browser, that was the file it reference in the report. It could simply be browser being unable to understand the html5 stuff, and without sufficient backwards compatibility it just gives up and crashes out.
Try to re-enable Modernizr and see if it stops the issue from happening. I haven’t really started developing fully in HTML5 due to cross browser and backwards support, so I thankfully haven’t encountered similar issues before.

In reply to: Site looks terrible in IE & pages keep shifting in FirefoxI think this is more of a forum for how-to and troubleshooting with problems with WordPress your problem it seems to be a HTML/CSS problem with common IE issues.
It’s also the problem with using third party free themes, and then changing them to your needs, which can have undesired effects.
Also, your header image seems to be floating in front of your site logo in Chrome.

In reply to: IE Crash IssueAny chance that is has to do with your use of HTML5, which isn’t supported in < IE8…
I would suggest trying to use Modernizr which I see you have installed, but perhaps there is some extra configuration you can do to ensure stability. I generally use the HTML5 boilerplate as well, and usually have no issue with backwards compatibility.
My IE8 VM crashes, and quickly recovered. The .dll that complaining was mshtml.dll, which I’m sure I could do a bit of background research on.. it might have something to do with parsing the DOM, and when it’s encountering ‘article’ or ‘section’ tags it may be throwing errors and thus crashing the browser.
Hope this helps somewhat. Good luck with the fix. It’s very frustrating for you I’m sure.

In reply to: IE Crash IssueDoes it have anything to do with any toolbar addons the respective IE installs may have? If it’s inconsistent, some external stuff could be the problem.

In reply to: Themes for jewellery e-commerce shopSaaS means as you say, renting as it’s software as a service. So of course you have to pay. It’s a given that you have to spend money to make it. Just like a physical shop pays rent.
I have used the wp-ecommerce plugging previously. I can’t speak for any third party themes as I normally develop my own from scratch. Just trying to help you out with suggestions. If the client want to pursue a serious online business they’ll probably need to invest in this, so the rent should be pretty minimal to them. Anyways, just ideas to consider.

In reply to: URL do not accept in comments text area.Then write javascript to not allow someone to submit a comment until all links are removed.

In reply to: URL do not accept in comments text area.It will not stop you entering any links. But you could write your own javascript to remove any links.
Good luck.

In reply to: URL do not accept in comments text area.Activate Akismet, as it will try to determine if the comments are spam, typically if certain comments contain more than 2 links etc.

In reply to: Cannot view pagesadding a plugin so that the address ends in .html
Did you try removing the plugin? To see if this is the problem?
WordPress can try to create the code for the Permalinks in Settings > Permalinks? See if it matches what you have?

In reply to: Sidebar Links not workingOne think I have been doing a lot lately is click event tracking how people use the websites I develop, that way you can track how many people are clicking on your external links, and monitor the behaviour accordingly. Typically if it’s an external link though, to say your facebook, linkedin etc. it’s normal to have this open in a new tab/window. Again, it’s user preference.
Some SEO guys I have worked with demand this, as keeping a user on the site is their main goal.
@tecameron, am glad that sorted the problem. All the best.

In reply to: Cannot view pagesRemove the plugin, and regenerate your Permalinks file (.htaccess) file and see if that fixes the problem.
It looks as though there may be a conflict with it.
If you can post the code from your .htaccess file that would be handy.
