In reply to: Sidebar Problem! Coming in bottom instead in side positionI don’t know what your problem is because IE 6, Firefox and the Flock browsers all show a sidebar in the correct place, one on each side of the content section.

In reply to: How do I turn off warnings?You have to be more specific than that. What “warnings” are you refering to?

In reply to: wordPress very slow?Obviously if other sites load in a reasonable amount of time it isn’t your web connection.
But I would look at your host where you have WP installed. There is nothing in WP (save the amount of sites being pinged) that would cause the slow loading.

In reply to: Newby question regarding theme suffixesThat’s the 1.0 version of the theme it has nothing to do with the version of WP.

In reply to: Sidebar troubleThee is probably something that is contained in either your content section of the sidebar that creates the problem.
Considering you have no images in the content section it’s most likely in the sidebar. check the length of your links.

In reply to: CHMOD-ing filesYou shouldn’t have to CHMOD any directories for files put into your posts.
The template files would depend on the theme you are using. Look for index.php, sidebar.php, footer.php, header.php, about.php and archive.php they are the basic ones.

In reply to: Getting rid of a link….static pages and dumb questionsThis should explain your display of a single cat issue, this code would work:
Displays category links sorted by name, shows # of posts for each category, and excludes category IDs 10 and 15 from the list.<ul>
<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&exclude=10, 15'); ?>
</ul>The entire list of cat tags is here.
Nice site design BTW, clean and easy to read.

In reply to: how to post in “about the author” after deleting the originalHave you tried to write another new Page?
If not go to “Write” > “Write Page.” Title it About the Author and add your text.
Below the text box you will find “Page Options” then Page templates. Select the “about page” template. (if there is one for your theme, if not the default would probably work)

In reply to: When pages become to long…“This must be a simple thing, no?”
Yes it is but…
To avoid any possible confusion lets straighten out the terminolgy used.
A WP “Page” (in caps) is accesssed and written via your Dashboard > “Write” > “Write Page.” (You will also notice “Write Post” there and that is what you have set as default 10)
A Page is separate and distinct from a “post” A Page can be used for anything, the most common thing is for and “About Page,” but can be used for anything. A list of your Pages are either in your sidebar or in a NavBar under your Header Image dependent on what theme you are using.
It would also be very helpful if you include a link to your blog.

In reply to: How to create a new page after default posts surpassedThat default, or whatever you change it to, is for display only. Your blog will display only the last 10 posts. It has nothing to do with creating pages or posts.

In reply to: Kinda off topic…That’s kinda nonsense… plus if s/he shows other sites’ full content – that might involve copyright issues, too.
Exactly, Fair Use generally means pulling excerpts for another source into your site with a direct link back to the original not entire articles.
There is a WP plugin that will work for what you desire and can be set up for displaying excerpts.
You could also use the RSS-to-Javascript service to accomplish the same thing.

In reply to: Links and ListsThe Auto Links plugin will allow you to automatically link text in a post to a URL.
That text can be anything, a news site, a name from your links list, whatever it just needs to have a URL and you can link to it by using keywords. The key words are added via a dashboard interface or with a tag in the post text itself.

In reply to: Right menü is missing and go to page’s bottom with IEThe most likely cause is something either in the content section or your sidebar that is too large. I.E. an image to wide or maybe link text to long.
BUT I just had a look in IE6, Firefox and Flock and the sidebar was in it’s proper place in all three browsers.
