Any help here? Would love this thing to run unattended.

In reply to: School Web SiteThe navigation bar is a bit crowded. I’d consider sizing down the menu fonts by 1pt. There isn’t very much margin between the last link and the search box.
Also, the contact page seems like a lot of wasted space causing you to scroll unnecessarily. The addresses for each school could probably be side by side. I’d even add them to the header next to the logo on every page. At least the phone number. You want people to be able to find that info ASAP.

In reply to: Code check for non-WP landing pageok… I now know what cocoa html writer is. It’s Apple screwing up your code!
Here’s how I got it to work using textedit. Paste the following into a new document in TextEdit
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> </head> <body> <a href="http://www.marcusbirdwell.com" target="_blank"> <img src="http://marcusbirdwell.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/1.jpeg" border="0" style="border:none; max-width:100%;" alt="Logo" title="MarcusBirdwell" height="800px" width="1000px" /> </body> </html>Then, choose Format > Make Plain Text
Now save as index.txt
Find the file you just saved and rename it to index.html (it will ask if you want to keep .txt but choose Use .html)
Before you upload this file, double click it and it should open a browser and show you exactly what it will look like on the web. Upload this file to FTP if it looks correct.

In reply to: Burlap RollsI would recommend pictures on the landing page. Also, the background repeats itself on bottom.

In reply to: Code check for non-WP landing pageOne other suggestion… the image file you are loading is 3MB which is massive. I would suggest sizing it down first in photoshop (or even Mac Preview if you don’t have photoshop) to 800×1000. You’ll cut the size down at least a third if not more.
Even on my 40mbit connection it took a couple of seconds to load that image

In reply to: Code check for non-WP landing pageLooks like you used Cocoa HTML Writer but pasted the HTML in the visual view? Not sure as I’ve not used that application.
Easiest thing to do is paste the following code into textedit and save it as index.html
It’s going to want to save it as a .txt or .rtf file, but you can override the suffix with .html and overwrite the file that you uploaded.

In reply to: No changes taking effect anywhere in backendAny updates? Still broken..
Any WordPress guys know what the issue might be?
I haven’t been able to post for well over a month and I’m getting over 100 spam comments/day

In reply to: No changes taking effect anywhere in backendAny chance you could ask them what they did? I still have this problem and my host couldn’t find a problem on their end.
Thanks!

In reply to: No changes taking effect anywhere in backendFYI mine is still not fixed either. I tried to create a new user as administrator from an existing administrator account. When I submitted the form for the new user, I was redirected to a success page saying ‘new user created’, but the user was not in the list. To confirm, I also tried to login with this account, but was denied.
@skinflint – Just to check, are you on rackspace for hosting? Has your site ever been hacked that you know of? Are you able to make changes to other settings in the site?
