In reply to: Page CodeOkay, just to clear things up, this is a support forum for WordPress. I’m not being nasty but until we get a specific question on this issue, we can’t help you.
Is the code you pasted javascript, php, html, or what? Did you put it in the sidebar, index, single, page, header, footer, what template did you put the code in?
If you can’t see the page, then replace it with the one you saved to your computer and contact the company from where you got the code and ask them to help you. If they want business from you, they need to help you.
If you could be more specific, then maybe we could help you, but only if the issue is with WordPress not the ads themselves.

In reply to: to the right!I checked your site for validation errors, and lucky you, only one, related to the calendar:
<p id="cal-right"><table id="wp-calendar">A table sits in it’s own thing, so you can put a DIV around it but not a paragraph.
Okay, this isn’t perfect but it gives you a starting point. First, if you are not using Firefox, install it and get the Web Developer Tools Add on NOW. Using CSS Edit, you can tweak things around until you get it “right”. Then test it out in MSIE and other browsers. Here is what I ended up with. I’m not happy about it, but it works:
/* CALENDAR */
#calendar {}
#calendar table {position:relative; left:120px}
#wp-calendar {text-align:right;}
caption {font-family:ariel, times, trebuchet, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; color:#8A2BE2; font-size:16px; text-align:center;}
th {font-family:ariel, times, trebuchet, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; color:#DDA0DD; font-size:14px; text-align:center;}
td {font-family:ariel, times, trebuchet, sans-serif; color:#FFFFFF; font-size: 12px; text-align:center;}Forum: Plugins

In reply to: to the right!The calendar is in a table and I’m not sure if you want to set the calendar to the right or the text that is in the calendar.
To move your table calendar around, find the styles in the style sheet that reference the calendar. These may be different from the classic WordPress Theme, but they are
#wp-calendar. You can position the main table inside there.If we had a link to your site, we could get more specific.
To align the text within the calendar itself, you need to also work in the
#wp-calendarsection of your style sheet.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: error uploading backup database to new serverAre you backing up manually or with the wordpress backup plugin? That will help us determine part of the problem.
If you aren’t using the plugin, I recommend you do so. It makes life so much easier.

In reply to: too much space between words in titleAs for the spam issue, this forum does it get its share of spam links and so we are nervous. But the site is driven, though VERY badly, by WordPress, so we will assume that your interest in getting help is sincere.
First, the site has MASSIVE validation errors. There are tables and other nasty things all over the place. These all need to be fixed.
Once those are fixed, if you are still having problems with the spacing, then go into your
style.cssand change the spacing on the paragraph. But some of the problems are causing the double spacing.The site has tags all over the place that are open but not closed, and closed but not open and…well, it’s a mess.
If the intent is indeed to solicit business, this is a poor example of quality. A lot of work needs to be done on the site.

In reply to: Up. Now what?Okay, you don’t get to a tree of files.
Is this your first PHP drive site? It works totally differently.
Login to WordPress by typing in your browser address bar, the same one that brought you to this site, the following with the name of your site and the folder you installed WordPress to:
http://example.com/wordpress/wp-login.phpIt should bring you to the login screen.
Type in your user name and password to get to the Administration Panels.
You can wander through the Admin Panels, but also look at the very top where the name of your site is in any screen. There is a link there to VIEW SITE. Click it and you will view your WordPress site. Hit the back button to go back to the Admin Panels.
To access your site without logging in, just type in the index.php address to your site or blog:
http://example.com/wordpress/index.phpThat would be your site.
Here is information that will hold your hand during the next few days of setting things up:

In reply to: blank sidebar on pagesI’m not sure I understand exactly what you are doing, and without a site to look at, I can only guess. You cannot just add a sidebar inside of a post or page. PHP tags will not work unless you have added a plugin that forces them to work. But in this case, even that would be a disaster.
To add a sidebar to your template files, you need to setup the style sheet to include the positioning specifics for the sidebar and add the
get_sidebar()in the template file likepage.php,index.php,single.phpand others.Here is information that will help you figure out all of this:

In reply to: How to add a site description that shows up in Google?The site description information is stored in two places in the
<head>of your site. In the “title” and the meta tag for “description”.You manually add this information as straight info or using the WordPress template tags. All the information for both methods is in the article on the Codex:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Meta_Tags_in_WordPress
What Google grabs is up to Google. There are no garrantees. Sometimes this information comes from submitting your site.
