In reply to: Adding Source Content1. keyword “tricks” to get search engines to pay attention don’t work.
2. I think you are talking about meta tags, which do work: http://codex.wordpress.org/Meta_Tags_in_WordPress
3. There are some plugins available which will also help you add keywords back into your meta tags, which should be in that article, too, or look at http://codex.wordpress.org/PluginsForum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Feeds TitlesIt works perfect in wp-rss2.php, but the tags didn’t work for me in wp-rss.php. I’ll try again. Most of the feeds I have listed are for rss 2, so I’m not that worried.
Thanks!

In reply to: Part of sidebar missing?!We tend to answer one question per post here.
I ran your single post page through the validation and the errors are very simple and well explained. You are missing a closing LI tag. This is for your lists in the sidebar. Just follow them and make sure that every time you open one, it closes. This will help with the nested lists in many WordPress Themes:

If you are using a theme based upon the Default Theme, which uses a hack to create the double arrows, they will look different in MSIE vs FF. It says so in the CSS.
Alignment problems are also very common between the different browsers as they interpret different ways of measuring the space for padding and margins. You can learn to live with it or check out the many hacks to force different browsers to “shape up”.

In reply to: Adding CatagoriesGood catch, oriecat. It looks like the permalinks are borked.
James2k1: Using Permalinks article might help you. You access permalinks and set them from the Administration Panels > Options > Permalinks. You might want to remove all of them by deleting the
.htaccessfile (save a backup copy first) and seeing if the categories “behave” right without permalinks.And check that you have set the right URL (site address) in the Options > General settings.

In reply to: Sidebar bullets in IEAnd if all else fails, you look in the online manual for WordPress, the Codex:

In reply to: Can Word Press work with the layout I already haveYes, and yes, and yes, and yes, and maybe. It depends upon how familiar you are with PHP, XHTML, and CSS.
You can find plenty of information on how to do a lot of this in the WordPress Codex at http://codex.wordpress.org.
And this article might be of some value:

In reply to: Adding CatagoriesFirst, which Theme are you using? If this Theme isn’t working, try selecting another.
Some Themes come with pre-set categories. If you have no posts within that category, and the category is visible, then you will get a page not found error. By default, empty categories should not show, but sometimes they are “forced” by the theme author. By switching to the default, classic, or any other theme, this might fix your problem.
Or make sure you have at least one post in each category visible on the sidebar.
As explained to you, on the Write Post panel in the Administration Panels, you choose the category for the post to be in from the list on the right side of the Write Post panel where it lists the categories.
If you still get errors when you click on the categories, provide us with a link to the site and we can check for errors.
