In reply to: CSS in the dashboardIt’s unlikely to be considered a bug, but liquid layouts are good for that reason. Post a report at Trac and label it a wishlist feature.
Poorer eyesight is no reason for worse usability. There are always fixes available, but there are trade-offs too, so don’t get your hopes up.

In reply to: Possible to “batch post?”You can either disable the feed when posting unimportant items or ‘offshore’ your subscriptions to services such as rssfwd and see if their options suit your visitors.

Please try to make a Real version available for users like me as well. Not everyone uses Windows, so it will gain you visitors.

In reply to: /feed/ versus /feedIn situations like that, just use a re-direction. Some feed reader request odd URL’s for one reason or another or are not case-sensitive. Point anything that is reminiscent of a feed URL to your preferred feed URL. Nice and easy solution that prevails.
You’ll need to visualise that. I looked at your site 3 times and re-read your message. The site at present looks fine, but it doesn’t show the visual imperfection, not even in Firefox.

In reply to: Index Page goes BlankThere was re-installation from scratch, so I assume no theme but the default one.
However, now that I re-check carefully, the OP said “I tried re-installing everything (overwriting everything) except for the config.php and the wp-content.”, so I guess you got it right. It must be the comment plug-in if I follow you… try stripping bits of wp-content one by one if you loathe the idea of rebuilding *everything*.

In reply to: ErrorDocumentHave 404.shtml in your home directory to achieve custom error pages in Apache. You might need to point to such files though rather than do it the laborious way as you are attempting to do.

In reply to: No blog… at allIf you have cPanel for hosting, use their facility for backup and restoration of databases. If not, make a habit of occasionally making database backups using the command-line. I retain a stack of nightlies myself, using a cron job such as:
mysqldump –user <site_id>_<user> –password=**** <site_id>_<database_name> > ~/tmp/blog.dump;
As long as you keep backup, you’ll be safe. If you are not sure about restoration, don’t worry. Someone can always help you (or you can do the research) provided you make backups of the data.

In reply to: How can I automatically make move index page to wordpress?Set up a redirection.
If you have a front-end like cPanel, this should be intuitive (menu widgets exist). If not, edit your .htaccess file to include e.g.:
RedirectMatch permanent ^http:/your_domain/$ http:/your_domain/wp

In reply to: The Nebulog – my blog and 1st WP ThemeNice design, I like it.
Constructive criticism (intended for improvement):
* Animals at the bottom-right side of the banner seem to blend poorly with the background, which is slightly distracting.
* Firfox 1.0.7: there is an odd space between the top and bottom part of the search facility

In reply to: how can i delete the archives?Are you trying to disable access to archives? Hide them? Delete old posts? You can never properly remove archives unless you erase old posts. URI hacking would get visitors to the pages, shall they become curious.

In reply to: Comments Only PageI said something misleading. Comments code is not contained in index.php directly. It is in wp-comments.php IIRC.
