In reply to: Odd Object Size Problem under WPStill experiencing the problem.
I tried running the same speed report on my journal of a hike my wife and I completed. There are multiple images so it seemed like a good comparison. Also hosted on the same server.
I ran the same speed report and it actually seemed to work just fine.
The images on this page are somewhat large and the values seemed right on.
So why do all my images served by WP seem to be the same size? I’m truely puzzled.
Thanks for any suggestions!

In reply to: Modifying the front pageOr… after I did a bit of searching found that Moshu recommended this plugin for another person that does what you want, I think.

In reply to: Main Column Text Too Narrow (Only in Firefox)For what it’s worth, it looks fine in Firefox for me (version 1.5.0.4).
Nice site by the way!

In reply to: Modifying the front pageI would suggest reading up on “The Loop” in the Codex. Basically, your front page is controlled by the index.php. This file will have a loop in it which esentially loops through your database and displays the posts.
While I’m not a php expert (really more a novice), I’m sure there is some form of conditional logic that could be used in this loop to only display posts in certian categories. I’ll let someone with more php knowledge jump in here.
Good luck!

In reply to: Incoming Links SpamPerhaps this can be marked as resolved?

In reply to: Regarding the “front page”For the first one, I think you’ll find help in this thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/35504?replies=23Basically, you don’t want to do the first part — display the complete first post.
For question number 2, I would think that you could just use an “if” statement but I’ll leave that to the PHP gurus!

In reply to: Posting comments as admin that reflects adminSure. I’m not sure the syntax for the OR operator in PHP, but you could always do something like he said above with multiple statements:
if($comment->comment_author_email == 'email2@mail.com') {
$isByAuthor = true;
}
if($comment->comment_author_email == 'email2@mail.com') {
$isByAuthor = true;
}Good luck!

In reply to: Footer Problems in IE/FFSince you were having problems with
<div>tags, I think you might still not have them quite right. It looks like your sidebar isn’t in your<div id=content>. This is fine, but it seems that your background image might be. Therefore, the background image ends with the content tag and your sidebar keeps going.I would have put the sidebar and the posts in the content tag. Sidebar first and float it left. Then put the posts in a container such as articles or something and float this right. Then add the footer (still in the content class) and make sure it clears both left and right content.
I know this is a bit confusing, so good luck! Your site is really looking good!

In reply to: Content-div breaks through wrapperI’m constantly amazed how many people come here asking for formatting help only to find that their sites don’t even remotely validate — XHTML or CSS.
If you take the time to validate, you’ll find that 9/10 times, your site will look right on any modern browser (even IE sometimes). Doing it in reverse is asking for a lot of problems.

In reply to: Can WordPress do this?I’m sure WP could easily create a listings directory that people could post to.
I’m not sure of an easy way to force people to pay for the privledge.

In reply to: WordPress is adding a “<p>” before the page’s contentLink to your blog would be necessary for anyone to tell you what’s going on.

In reply to: editing styles.css document – help please!This was just discussed.
Esentially, the Kubrick layout uses images imbedded in the PHP code to get its look. I suggest staying as far away from this layout as you can. It’s hard to modify and can be very frustruating since the inherent images and such in the PHP tend to override what is in your style.css.
Look around in different places. There are some very pretty and minimlist themes out there that could suit you just fine and will be easy to edit.
Good luck!

In reply to: legal blogging questionI would simply take the pictures myself. Not only will you avoid all worries, but you can then personalize the photos. This will offer way more freedom of expression.
Example: You try a new cereal but cannot stomach it at all — you could take a picture of the cereal box in your garbage can and use that. Fun, Creative and more expressive of your actual opinion.
Good luck!

In reply to: Need critique of how this project is shaping upReducing the font size may help a little, but I think it’s more that you really don’t need it in all caps, or need all of it. If it were me, I’d cut it into the two seperate blocks that it is:
Disclaimer: GastonCounty.info is not directly associated with, or makes claims to be associated with, any government office/ personnel in Gaston County nor the Gaston County’s official website.
And then have a mission statement or about page where you would put the following:
GastonCounty.info is a website that is independent of itself that is continuously striving to bring about community and information about Gaston County, NC.The last portion of the legal notice thingy really makes very little sense to me and I would not use it at all.
Then again, if you want all of it, just put a simle statement like what I mentioned above for the disclaimer and then put something like “For our full legal disclaimer, click here.” and then have a link.
As the other poster mentioned, I’d try to find an image that you could use as a header background for your Title at the top of the page. This puts the info at the readers fingertips instead of forcing them to scroll. Just my opinion though.
Looks like a great resource and I wish you the best of luck!
