Forget dreamweaver for a minute what happens when you point your browser to http://localhost/quilldesigns ?

Looks like the abspath is incorrect, I’m assuming if you have WordPress correctly installed on your localhost then your theme is located at:

C:\xampp\htdocs\quilldesigns\wp-contents\themes\themename\index.php ?

I would try a combination of the following:

remove ./ and see if it loads or add wordpress with and without ./ before /wp-blog-header.php ie change line 17 to:

1. require('wp-blog-header.php');
2. require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
3. require('wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');

This is one way of doing it:

<?php if (strlen($post->post_title) > 75) {
echo substr(the_title($before = ”, $after = ”, FALSE), 0, 75) . ‘…’; } else {
the_title();
} ?>

open .htaccess and delete anything related to wp supercache

Try reading:

This should do what you need, otherwise it’s customisable to fit your needs.

delete the .htaccess file failing that in phpmyadmin follow these instructions and make sure your blog url matches your wordpress location:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

Take a look in wp-admin/settings/general and see what the time/date settings are and if they also show as 20 days ahead?
