In reply to: CSS not loading on ANY wordpress pageAggressive firewall? I had that happen to me when I was logged in at a hospital behind their firewall while my husband was there this past weekend. Besides taking forever to load, if I hit “refresh” sometimes it would load without the stylesheet, then it may load half the images, then the other half of the images, and sometimes if I was lucky, all the images. It was quite frustrating.
Did someone make changes to your firewall recently?

In reply to: couple newbe questionsI think he means he recommends it very highly.
Since I design web sites for a living, I prefer to hand-code. I use Topstyle Pro mostly, along with HTML editor Edit Plus.
Google for ‘create WordPress themes’ and you should find plenty of tutorials for creating your own theme. Once you get the hang of it, you won’t be able to stop! 😉

In reply to: Problem With InstallYou should submit a trouble ticket with your web host (not Fantastico, that’s just a part of the cPanel suite).

In reply to: Themes appear blankYou should be able to install the themes from their zip files right from the WP dashboard. Under Appearance > Add New Themes, then look at the top menu, under “Upload.” You will be asked to browse your computer for the *.zip file, click Install and then you are given a choice to either preview or activitate the theme.

In reply to: How to get past posts to show up?Go to your dashboard, under Settings > General > Reading, and change the number of blog posts to show. It’s probably set to “1” although I believe the default is “5”.

In reply to: Can WordPress be installed any more?When did you create the addon domain? Maybe the nameservers haven’t resolved for you yet.
Where is the database that you are using? Is it within the highskysoftware control panel?
UPDATE: Looks like it’s up and running now. Bet it was just the nameservers, huh?

In reply to: Need help upgrading from 2.3.1 to 2.9.2…There’s also the WP Pro list. Make sure you post your budget so as to avoid folks wasting your time and them yours.
I posted a fairly easy step by step process upgrading from legacy 2.0.11 to the then-current version of WP.

In reply to: URL Pages Not In WordPress, Run on WPGo into your dashboard, it’s under General Settings, you’ll see a box about a third of the way down the page with this helpful caption:
“Enter the address here if you want your blog homepage to be different from the directory you installed WordPress.”Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: couple newbe questionsYou can try Artisteer but I don’t like the bloated code that it spits out. (I design web sites for a living and am a bit of a purist and prefer to roll my own anyway so I may not be as objective about it as I should be.)
http://www.artisteer.com/And just because a web site has sidebar content doesn’t necessarily make it “bloggy.” The things that make a site “bloggy,” IMHO, are Blogrolls, a calendar of posts, post archives, etc.
Check out http://www.welovewp.com and browse some of the great sites that have been built using WP.
P.S. What is WB6?

In reply to: Keep Video on Main PageCreate a template for the video. Call it video.php. Put your video code and any associated divisions, styling etc. there as well.
Then call that template right above the WP loop in your index.php file. Like this:
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/video.php'); ?>That will keep it above all your posts. Is that what you wanted?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Page TemplateI sometimes create a second page template called wide-page that doesn’t have a call to the sidebar and also has a #wide-content division with adjusted width.
Then you can use that template anytime you want when writing a page; just use the dropdown and choose it.

In reply to: WordPress border headerGood grief, just post the relevant portion of the stylesheet code that you are having problems with; better yet, just post a LINK to the site at issue. Most of us use developer tools to examine the markup and CSS anyway.
I took a look at the site and I don’t understand what the problem is.
