Did you do a full refresh of the browser? Try closing the browser and waiting for a few minutes than restarting it and see if it works fine. It looks like the stylesheet is not loading fully in the browser, which can happen on slow or interrupted or unstable Internet connections.

In reply to: site looks diffrent in firefox chrome and explorer? helpDifferent versions of Internet Explorer treat HTML and CSS differently. What version of IE are you using to test this? Make sure it is the latest version.
If you change Themes, do you still see the differences.
Please include a link to the site in question so we can test it ourselves to help you, but I recommend that if you see a clear difference, you contact the Theme author to inquire as to how to resolve it and possibly update the Theme to make IE allowances for design distinctions.

In reply to: Problem in footerThere are many reasons and without looking at the code itself, we’d just be guessing.
Validate your site’s code to ensure that ever bit of code is accurate and closed.
When you transferred the Theme to the host, did you bring everything over? Is WordPress the same version on both? Is the post content the same?

In reply to: dashboard doesn't loadDid you install a WordPress Plugin or update recently? If you did, let us know and we might be able to correct the issue. Without specifics on what might have happened, it’s hard to know what steps to take.

In reply to: Facebook Sharing QuestionIf you would like to change the image that Facebook or other social networks use when featuring your WordPress blog posts, make sure there is an image on that page you wish to use, or choose to remove the image associated with the linked post.
Currently, there is no option in Facebook to customize that image. Possibly Facebook support can help you further as that is an issue for them, not WordPress.

In reply to: Required Checkbox in side bar loginThere are a variety of options. Here is one that might help you get started. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/terms-of-use-2/ Use the tags and descriptive words in that Plugin to find others if this one doesn’t do what you need.

In reply to: Server ErrorThere are two options to resolve this issue.
1. Reinstall WordPress completely. That usually resolves the issue as some file might have been mangled in the transfer and upload.
2. Contact your web host for help as something unassociated with WordPress may be causing problems.
Usually it’s the first option. Give that a try.

In reply to: text runs into photos in blog postsThe article in the WordPress Codex should help: http://codex.wordpress.org/Wrapping_Text_Around_Images
If there is a problem with the Theme directly, then contact the Theme author for details on how to resolve the issue with that theme. Did you try changing Themes to see if the issue still happens?
Without a link to the site in question, it’s hard for us to investigate this further.
Please contact the Plugin author for details as that should be an option in the Plugin.
align=”center” is deprecated and the CSS aligncenter is used by most WordPress Themes and Plugins.

In reply to: Publishing SiteDid you hit the publish button on your posts and Pages? If you installed WordPress and it’s live, so anyone can see it, and your posts and Pages are not in draft form, the site should be live.
If the site you are talking about is the one linked to from your member profile, please follow the instructions of your web host to make the site live. Each host has their own method.

In reply to: Post new page without showing under recent postsYou can make the post/page private which will only allow those with a password to access the page, however the title and password access will be visible.
If you are testing elements on a live site, it is recommended that you create a separate testing site that is a copy of your own and make the entire site blocked and private.
One other option is to give those people logins to your site. Put the post/page in DRAFT status and they can log in and see the preview through the Administration Panels when they view the post information or through the link you provide to the preview post – as long as they are logged in.

In reply to: Change how comments lookThese are controlled from within the stylesheet of the Theme and the Theme design. Your site is in maintenance mode, so I couldn’t see what you were specifically concerned about.
The page you linked to is also a category page. Typically, these do not show comments. What you are seeing is a list of tags or categories, indicated by the “Posted in” preface.
Comments and the comment forms are only found on the front page and on specific posts in most Themes. If you wish to change that in the Theme you are using, consider contacting the Theme author for the modification or suggestions on how to do it yourself.

In reply to: What plugin to narrow all images to a fix width?The solution to avoid images from pushing your web design around is to add a max-width to your stylesheet. Here are instructions: http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/10/07/the-battle-between-image-width-and-column-width/
As for a Plugin, I can’t find one that puts this in automatically. It is required for WordPress Themes found within the WordPress Theme directory I believe. At least recent versions. There is one that removes the max-width but I can’t find one that adds it.
I recommend you switch to a Theme that includes it, or manually update your own.

In reply to: Customize Table Plus A Question About HTML1. To copy from Word and word processing documents, please paste them into your post using the PASTE FROM WORD button found in the “second row” of the button bar. Click the button on the end that expands the button bar. Using this option will remove all the unwanted and unnecessary code from the content so the post should look fine when previewed.
2. WordPress removes “unwanted” and poorly formed code before publishing and when switching from the Visual to the HTML editor. Again, please use the special paste options to possibly improve your pasting options.
Also take care in copyright from websites and pasting in information without their express consent in order to avoid copyright violations.
There are many tutorials on the web that can help you with creating HTML tables. The code you pasted from the other site features archaic and deprecated code, which is why it was probably stripped automatically from WordPress.

In reply to: Comment Central Right Hand SidebarHave you contacted the Theme author and asked about such modifications? Changing the position of a sidebar is not an easy task and involves familiarity with HTML and CSS as well as with WordPress Themes. Can you choose another Theme with sidebar control options or one that has the sidebar in the right place?
It’s like taking an existing house and saying, “I’d like to move this room to the other side of that other room,” and thinking it will be simple. 😀
