In reply to: install.phpNow, for example, you could describe what kind of error you get.
You could also tell us what exactly did you do before the error…Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Edit post problem in Firefox – IE worksFF shows what your code is.
IE shows what billgates thinks you wanted to show in your code; i.e. not standard compliant.I don’t think you can validate a piece of code (what basically a template file is) – unless it is part of a full html page/site.

In reply to: ix webhosting directionsThis might help: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Step_3:_Set_up_wp-config.php
Rule of thumb: don’t touch the words in capital letters… replace the example strings with your own!
define('DB_NAME', 'foobar'); // The name of the database define('DB_USER', 'gretchen'); // Your MySQL usernameetc.

In reply to: Edit post problem in Firefox – IE worksI am not that familiar with the theme and seemingly you switched to another one.
What I was thinking as the possible source of the errors is this: in many themes the main container div starts in the header.php file and the closing</div>is in the footer.php file. In between usually there are a lot of divs opening and closing, but not all of them start and end on the same file.
So, removing a file (sidebar.php) from the overall structure might leave in some places extra closing divs or, in other places, causing missing divs. Unless the whole theme is commented for every opening and closing tag… it is very difficult to follow what is what. But I guess that would be your only chance.
Sorry, I couldn’t be more helpful.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Commenter url incorrect and posts skip numbersYes, re-installing means losing all your previous data.
Isn’t possible you don’t remember correctly about the empty URL? Some themes/versions do that: put only http:// when the field is left empty.
As for the post ID numbers – forget it. Who cares about them? (if you delete a post, that number is skipped, if you have a Page, that also takes a “number” etc.)

In reply to: sidebar widgets plugin not runningI don’t know which WP version you have installed… but the Classic and Default coming with the latest several versions are not widgetized. Why do you think they were “supposed to be” widgetized?

In reply to: What’s wrong with my header?In this case nobody is able to check it. Are you sure you didn’t see a cached version?

In reply to: sidebar widgets plugin not runningWidgets work only if the theme is prepared to work with them (“widgetized”).
Most likely that theme is not.

In reply to: What’s wrong with my header?Well… You did not add the no-repeat bit. I just looked at your stylesheet and it is not here.

In reply to: Edit post problem in Firefox – IE worksI have an idea what the problem could be: you removed the sidebar but in many themes certain divs are closed in another file… so maybe that’s why you ended up with plus or minus div tags.
However, before attempting further modifications – you should read the licence of the theme you are using, which says attribution, no derivate works!

In reply to: Order of pagesI can try, although all the information is described better on the Codex pages that MichaelH linked to. Did you really read it or just had a brief look? There is even a section about your question – 4.2.
Open your sidebar.php or whichever file you want to modify (as a lesson for future: don’t ask layout questions without referring to your theme. Takes out the guessing…).
Find the above mentioned wp_list_pages tag.
As described in the Codex, add the proper parameter.
Save. Upload. Done.P.S. and there is even a plugin:

In reply to: Edit post problem in Firefox – IE worksYou should really fix those two missing closing div tags before messing around with the stylesheet.
