understood and Cool! i have gone on codex and come back with this question = where is the best section in codex to help me build a custom static home page. my intention is to have ten major category links be graphically displayed that would go directly to respective category summary archive; plus an “all” link that would go to normal front page. thanks!

hmm, end of the day and no static page examples…

a “static page” is a non-database/wordpress engine page, right? one would use a static page as a “splash” page that does not have a text intensive look. something a little creative, enticing? that’s my take but what do i know?

here is what i placed it in the stylesheet:

#header {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
position: relative;
height: 200px;
background: url(‘images/header/rotate.php’) left center no-repeat;

here is the config instructions:
<p>/* ————————- CONFIGURATION ———————–<br>
</p>
<p> Set $folder to the full path to the location of your images.<br>
For example: $folder = ‘/user/me/example.com/images/’;<br>
If the rotate.php file will be in the same folder as your<br>
images then you should leave it set to $folder = ‘.’;</p>
<p>*/<br>
</p>
<p> $folder = ‘.’;<br>
</p>
<p>/* </p>
<p> Most users can safely ignore this part. If you’re a programmer,<br>
keep reading, if not, you’re done. Go get some coffee.</p>
<p> If you’d like to enable additional image types other than<br>
gif, jpg, and png, add a duplicate line to the section below<br>
for the new image type.<br>
<br>
Add the new file-type, single-quoted, inside brackets.<br>
<br>
Add the mime-type to be sent to the browser, also single-quoted,<br>
after the equal sign.<br>
<br>
For example:<br>
<br>
PDF Files:</p>
<p> $extList[‘pdf’] = ‘application/pdf’;<br>
<br>
CSS Files:</p>
<p> $extList[‘css’] = ‘text/css’;</p>
<p> You can even serve up random HTML files:</p>
<p> $extList[‘html’] = ‘text/html’;<br>
$extList[‘htm’] = ‘text/html’;</p>
<p> Just be sure your mime-type definition is correct!</p>
<p>*/</p>
<p> $extList = array();<br>
$extList[‘gif’] = ‘image/gif’;<br>
$extList[‘jpg’] = ‘image/jpeg’;<br>
$extList[‘jpeg’] = ‘image/jpeg’;<br>
$extList[‘png’] = ‘image/png’;<br>
</p>
<p>// You don’t need to edit anything after this point.<br>
</p>
<p>// ——————— END CONFIGURATION ———————–</p>

ABOUT<br>
This PHP script will randomly select an image file from a<br>
folder of images on your webserver. You can then link to it<br>
as you would any standard image file and you’ll see a random<br>
image each time you reload.<br>
<br>
When you want to add or remove images from the rotation-pool,<br>
just add or remove them from the image rotation folder.<br>

i am about to walk out the door and wont’ get to this until tomorrow

wish to revisit this. i have found the code, now my author is displayed. however, there is no link option. i gave one author a website thinking that would trigger a link to an author’s web site but no, the author’s name continues to display only.

whooami,

first of all, thanks for jumping into the pool on this one. also, it is 80 degrees in chicago this weekend. so i am outside.

when i as the admin creates a new user, i am notified via email that a new person has just registered.

when someone registers on their own, i am not notified of a new registration via email, however, the new user is registered. the user does not get a password via email.

when a non-registered someone makes a comment i am notified via email. then i have to authorize the posting.

note: i do have several plugins that offer email bells and whistles and have not deactivated to test the registration process. a possibility?

1) share this = works fine
2) subcribe to comments = works fine
3) secure and accessable php contact form = works fine
