In reply to: Ugly gray background box on refreshCan I make a small suggestion?
I think maybe after all this digging and hunting, you have graduated to inserting your image into your header via your style.css yourself.
Time to turn off that plugin, and not worry about digging through the php file looking for inline styles.
You have the power. You go girl, and all that stuff.

In reply to: Ugly gray background box on refreshok, after shooting off the cuff earlier… I decided to actually look at the site this time.
in your style.css, look for a definition for #topi. It seems the background colour #333 is specified in there, perhaps on the same line as the image URL.
this may not be part of your theme’s style.css if your header image plugin has its own css file that comes with it…. or alternately if that plugin puts the background in with inline style attributes…
either way, #topi is what you’re looking for.

In reply to: Ugly gray background box on refreshis it a PNG image? if so, you might be using IE6 which has incredibly poor support for PNG transparency.
this is sort-of fixable, but not really for backgrounds, unfortunately.

In reply to: Domain errors – Sorry if this is the wrong place for this.… and the settings of your ISP’s caching nameservers…
Corey, if you haven’t rebooted your PC in a while and you’re using windows, lauch yourself a command prompt and type:
ipconfig /flushdns
this will clear your computer’s DNS cache, and force it to pull a new IP for the domain you’ve likely been refreshing for the past 40 hours straight.
If you still can’t pull it up, consider posting the domain here so one of us can check it for you. It could just be that your ISP’s nameservers are set to cache for an unusually long time (which happens with some ISPs that have overworked DNS servers)
…
reading back here… I wonder, did you actually tell your webhost that you’re getting a domain? – your website needs to be told to react to the domain, and you can do that via your hosting control panel, or by contacting your host.
If you did that prior to grabbing a domain from godaddy, then fine, but if not, then you will want to do that ASAP.

In reply to: Homepage does not show updates and recent poststhis sounds like a caching issue. I see your new posts on your main page… as well as a script that almost never ends, being loaded from yahoo’s servers.
Do you have any caching plugins installed? – if not, then consider clearing your browser’s cache and seeing how you go from there.

In reply to: Have the comments loaded from another databaseI don’t feel like a 6 meg database is very large… could there be another problem at work here?
I realise you can fit a lot of comments into a couple of meg, but still, there must be LOTS of sites out there running happily at that size.
Is this a hosting issue maybe?
…
the problem with your request is that it’s illogical. Comments must relate to posts and to users, etc… so with two databases, you’d have to make a couple of connections to either database to pull IDs back and forth in order to display anything.
that effectively doubles (if not triples) the effort.
not to mention the impossibility, because I’m sure that wordpress simply won’t provide the tools to check IDs over multiple databases.

In reply to: Menu of posts in single.phpconsider replacing your query with a standards-based approach using wordpress functions. That way, you don’t need to fix your query every time there’s a change to the back-end.
look at the get_posts function.

In reply to: can’t find API key in version 2.5Hello Karen.
The instructions on akismet’s config screen are pretty clear-cut. Have you followed them to the letter?
Your API key is on wordpress.com – have you made an account on wordpress.com?

In reply to: Integrating LIST of posts into static pagewhy don’t you set post_status=future in your get_posts options… then use the regular the_time fucntion to output the time that the post is set to?
that way, you just set your post to the future when you publish it… and bob’s your uncle.
it also means it’ll go away when the future becomes the present.

In reply to: Link to author’s posts without displaying their nameto avoid having to set nicknames or keep track of your users, you can turn the above into:
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/author/<?php echo strtolower(get_the_author()); ?>"></a>this makes sure that the link is valid, as the link relies on the display name as chosen, not the nickname field. The strtolower() part sends it to lowercase.
