In reply to: Mutiple URL’s4 domains or 4 servers? If you are talking about 4 servers, there will be problems.
That appears once in a while. Replace it with an HTML entity. I don’t remember the exact one for apostrophe. It might be ampersand+acute+semi-colon or some other combination.
Those characters sometimes appear at the title of the article.

In reply to: Newbie: editing theme, need visual editor? Also Flash QuestionI must agree to moshu. It’s a pity that some people make money by selling WP themes at the same seeking free advice on how to make them when in fact he or she doesn’t know that Dreamweaver doesn’t let them preview a website that is built with PHP scripts without going through a server.
I could answer the question as I often edit WP themes, but…
Good luck

There is a plug-in called Get Recent Comments. I found it a long time ago under Extend > Plugins > comments. It’s very useful.

In reply to: 2.2 Hacked>changed every password
How are you making your passwords?
If your password consists of English alphabetical letters and numbers and is short enough, I’m sure cyber idiots could break it. WP allows to use Greek characters for an admin password. And some web hosting companies also allow their clients to use Greek letters and special characters for control panel access while others don’t.
If you have a password of 12 letters consisting of Greek letters, special characters, lower case and upper case letters, the number of combinations can be as large as 784,716,723,734,800,000,000,000.

In reply to: I bought the domain, now the ftp?Unless you are going to run your website on your own computer 27/7, you need a remote server to host your website. You need to forward your domain to the nameservers designated by your hosting company. You then have to have your domain propagated. If you don’t know what I’m talking about this page contains some information on domain forwarding and DNS propagation.
Good luck,

In reply to: I got hacked!Possible reasons
(1) Your blog admin account password is too simple.
(2) Your control panel password is too simple.
(3) Permissions of some folders are set to 755 or something else, and then the contents can be downloaded and manipulated.
(4) The FTP trasmission of data was intercepted.You may want to consult with some guys at Lunarpages anyway.

In reply to: Has my site been hacked?>How do I “go to my site root”?
I don’t really have the answer since I don’t use geocities. Is it a free account or paid one?
If it’s a paid one, you probably have access to your ftp server. Find public_html. You should have index.php in it. You may also have a folder titled cgi-bin inside public_html. If you do, look for something suspicious or look for ones with the latest date.

In reply to: Has my site been hacked?FIND-FM.COM is a known sponsor harboring affiliate spammers. Did you check if there’s a CGI script for redirection?

In reply to: Flash swf in sidebar?The following is an embed Flash tag that I used to use.
<object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ codebase=”http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0″ width=”320″ height=”50″>
<param name=”movie” value=”XXX.swf” />
<param name=”quality” value=”high” />
<embed src=”mac/XXX.swf” quality=”high” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”320″ height=”50″></embed>
</object>XXX.swf is a file name. This tag should work for non-IE browsers.

In reply to: Flash swf in sidebar?If you are using Internet Explorer, SWF videos may not appear. If you use Dreamweaver 8, you need to insert an additional Java Script code (AC_RunActiveContent.js). I don’t know for the latest version of Dreamweaver.
