In reply to: Target _blank for linksSee http://codex.wordpress.org/Links_Manager and the template tags associated with Links Manager.
And know that forcing links to open in a new window is now considered VERY bad form.
And it is a rule of the forum that there is one question per post. Not always obeyed, but after a while you find your other questions aren’t answered and most people get the clue.

In reply to: need php tags to stretch image to fit viewers windowNot that I know of.
Because the background image sits in your stylesheet, you would need some way of manipulating the style in your stylesheet based upon a query that would determine the size of the screen being viewed, not to mention the resolution, etc.
This is one of the main reasons people use fixed width layouts so they can control the width of the design and layout elements.
Change the image or use a fixed width layout.

In reply to: W.i.e. onlineWell, since I’ve never heard of a W.I.E., I don’t know what you are talking about. I looked at your site and the font sizes for everything look normal.

For the rest, you’ll have to be more specific.

In reply to: Backup Sob StoriesPlanning to take our life on the road full-time ten years ago, my husband, a structural engineer, and I did massive research and analysis on how to protect our desktop computer from the banging and smashing of travel. Laptops were VERY expensive at the time, so this is what we had. We ended up setting the computer inside a custom made desk with special supports, fans, and sitting on shock absorbers used by airplane manufacturers (military and commercial) to absorb the shocks and vibrations.
It worked like a charm for the first six months on the road, banging back and forth across the states. I started doing frequent backups, but then got lazy with all of the stuff going on. One morning on the rim of the Grand Canyon, I flipped on the computer and it went BING BORK BONG and was dead. No warning. I was terrified that the banging of the hard drive had finally caught up with us.
I called Gateway, the manufacturer, to try to trouble shoot it, and they told me that they had put out a recall notice on that particular hard drive, and had mailed us a notice months ago. Maxtor had sent them a bad batch of drives. Living on the road, mail takes ages to catch up with us, so we’d not received the notice.
Whew! Lucky me. But it goes to show the different things that can go wrong that are beyond your control.
Living on the road, backups to websites or online stuff, or even getting the backups by email, just don’t work. Right now we have a stead Internet connection, but when we move, it’s hit and miss. I have to backup while connected, or now with Skippy’s new backup plugin, I can have the backup stored on the site and then while connected download it to my computer and then store it somewhere like on a CD.
Life on the road may sound fun, but it is hard work and comes with a LOT of complications.

In reply to: Excluding PHP from RSShmmm, I think you might have to ask the Plugin Author about that. Interesting.
The link is in your Admin > Plugins panel.

In reply to: changing page and body background colorsFirst, make sure that the theme you are seeing is the theme you are working on. Yeah, I know, but it happens.
Second, see: http://codex.wordpress.org/I_Make_Changes_and_Nothing_Happens
And change
background-colortobackground, just to keep up with the times.And if you are working on the Default/Kubrick WordPress Theme, check your
header.phpfor some more CSS that might be influencing things. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Designing_Headers for more details on that.You might want to also see:

In reply to: can’t choose bottom categoryWhy don’t you try a different admin theme and see if the problem still is there:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes/Theme_List#Admin_Themes
That will rule out one problem. If it is still there, let us know and we’ll dig into it.
