In reply to: Add AdSense into wordpress.COM sidebarThis is the wrong forum, try the wordpress.com forums and see:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/
You can have ads if you have self-hosted WordPress (as is supported here), but not on wordpress.com.
I disable plugins before manual upgrades, but I don’t for automatic upgrades and all has been just fine.

In reply to: Sorry to be so stupid but…..how to add keywords and descriptions to my header
Use a meta tag or SEO plugin.
The weird stuff has “PNG” and “Adobe ImageReady” in it, and it looks like what you see if you open an image file with a code editor.
Have you been modifying theme files or core WordPress files? If so, use FTP to replace them with unmodified copies (redownload them).

In reply to: How do I restore my public_html folder which is overwrittenRemove the non-WordPress index file (it’s still there).
If everything in your public_html folder has been overwritten, then contact your web host about restoring a backup of your site.
If it’s just the main WordPress index.php that’s missing, then just download the same version of WordPress and then use that main index.php to replace it.

In reply to: Not found by GoogleIt’s best to block search engines (using the dashboard privacy settings) until you get some posts up so that you don’t get the default “Welcome to WordPress” post indexed. With some new posts, this description should go away.

In reply to: No clue how to back upI use the WP-DB-Backup plugin myself to backup my database to my home computer.
Here are the WordPress files and folders to backup to your own computer using FTP:
- wp-config.php file
- wp-content folder
- wp-includes/languages/ folder (only if you are using a language file)
- .htaccess file (if you have one)
- robots.txt file (if you have one)

In reply to: Browser compatibility issue – IEFix the ones due to unclosed tags and the css one first because these are the ones most likely to result in display problems. Errors inside youtube code can typically be ignored.

In reply to: Very sad updating problem.WordPress will only overwrite themes in the /default/ or /classic/ theme directories. If you are referring to updates of other WordPress themes overwriting your theme changes, then use a child theme (as suggested) or switch to a different theme since most non-official WordPress themes don’t update very often (or at all).
If you are modifying core WordPress files, then upgrades will overwrite your changes, which is a major reason why editing these files is not recommended.
