In reply to: Internet Explorer 7 display issueOk I have to say it.
Here is the problem that got me into this coding mess in the first place.
I have fixed the post formatting at http://www.greenesrelease.com and now it is visible with explorer YEH!!!!, even though I haven’t fixed the sidebar yet.
BUT….
The formatting of the post is ugly. No real gaps between titles, paragraphs, anything.
So what do I do?

In reply to: Internet Explorer 7 display issuethank you for your help iridiax,
I have transferred all of my web presence to blogs so I have to figure this out so Please bear with me here…
Basically, I changed the coding on the sidebar, and have used the html section when doing posts. That’s it!! And the reason I started using the html was because I couldn’t even get paragraph breaks by doing two enters, so I continued on..
I have been looking up the correct coding to use and found this interesting page http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_Posts (Visual Versus HTML Editor)
I went right through that great markup validation site you linked to, and see that most of the problems are that the coding changed and faulted, like all the unclosed < and no opening tags and the </p> tags. None of them are on the original site or post pages, they happened because there was a coding meltdown.
So I come to the following conclusions….I hope they are correct.
** use
<strong>instead of <b>
** use “<” instead of &
** My coding for lists is all wrong so I have to learn and fix that
** I did the <h2> etc right, but wordpress added the </p> that you note above.What I need to know is:
**Can I use for spaces?
**What do I use to underline, I was using <u>
**You can’t use tables with wordpress?
**When I use a text widget from wordpress.com I have to put the li type coding in, right?
**What do I use instead of a , the normal <p> doesn’t work. To get paragraph breaks and double that size breaks.
**What is the correct code to justify, do font size & color(which is obviously why this doesn’t work from my sidebar widget)
<p class=”MsoNormal” style=”text-align:center;”> <h2><p class=”MsoNormal” style=”text-align:center;”><font color=”#84A3C1″>Freedom
from
Emotional Pain</b></font>
Again, thanks for your wonderful help iridiax, I’m off to learn about lists.

In reply to: Internet Explorer 7 display issueWow, thats a big list. I used the (h2) codes which were already on the pages, and in the css, so I don’t understand why there are so many errors…

In reply to: How do I delete the entire blog & start again?there are no tables, only this.
*****_wordpress
Users in wordpress
*****_wordpres (Privileges: ALL PRIVILEGES)Connection Strings
Perl $dbh = DBI->connect(“DBI:mysql:*****_wordpress:localhost”,
“*****_wordpres”,”<PASSWORD HERE>”);
PHP $dbh=mysql_connect (“localhost”, “*****_wordpres”,
“<PASSWORD HERE>”) or die(‘Cannot connect to the database because: ‘ . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db (“*****_wordpress”);So I can delete the whole database, which is incorrect anyway, then go back to the beginning and create a new database etc..??

In reply to: How do I delete the entire blog & start again?ok, I’m fine about deleting files. What is empty (drop) your database tables, is that in the control panel data base section?
