In reply to: order of pages in menuThis is assuming your menu is not controlled by Appearances->Menu where you can order any menu in whatever you desire:
The template tag, wp_list_pages(), is sometimes used by theme designers to display Pages in a nav bar. Usually you can just set the Menu Order when writing/editing your Page.
If setting the Menu Order doesn’t work, then with the help of the Template Hierarchy article, determine what Template is displaying your Pages (probably header.php), then look for
wp_list_pagesand addsort_column=menu_orderto the arguments.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: page title vs post titleUsing a Page Template is acceptable. But if you don’t want to use Page Templates then use the conditional tag is_page() around that code.
<?php //if is NOT a page display title if ( ! is_page() ) { ?> <h2 class="post"><?php the_title(); ?></h2> <?php } ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Moving within same Domain, and a bit more complicated…Could be as simple as this–to make WordPress available at http://website.com in Settings->General, change the Site address (URL) to http://website.com and put this index.php file in your web-root folder (it is the same folder that contains the wordpress folder)
<?php /* Short and sweet */ define('WP_USE_THEMES', true); require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>Then update your permalinks by visiting Administration > Settings > Permalinks and clicking on Save Changes.

In reply to: Categories and postsYou might want to look at using a different Category. Right now you have a Page called About Myself, and you have a Category called About Myself. Then each of your 3 posts you’ve attached the Category About Myself.
You don’t make a Contact Page then put it under a Category.
Recommend you create a Page called Contact page.

In reply to: Links from categoryFrom my notes:
If a ‘category’ view, display links with same category
<?php if ( is_category() ) { $cat = get_query_var('cat'); $category=get_category($cat); wp_list_bookmarks('category_name='.$category->cat_name); } ?> } ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress
