In reply to: Does Google treat WordPress blogs like a blog or website?Google doesn’t know whether your site looks like a blog or a website. It’s bots can only scan the textual content that is on your site — that’s it. I’m not familiar with google blogroll but from normal internet use experience I can say that I always find blogs and regular websites jumbled together in google search results. If your blog is well enough optimized and targets certain keywords then it’s going to show up before a regular looking website and vice versa, it’s all about the content.

In reply to: Comment reply linkI don’t think this feature comes with the default installation. But you can use this plugin for this purpose:

In reply to: Can’t delete categoryThat is the default category, that’s why there is no check box and the default category is always not deletable. What you need to do is set another category as the default and then you can delete news.

In reply to: Blog not loading…Just installed many plugins…I suggest you deactivate all the plugins and then activate one by one. After each activation refresh your site on the browser to see if it is working fine or not. The problem is mostly likely bad interaction between two or more of your plugins. When you come to the one/s that are causing the problem you will know which to exclude.

In reply to: how do you back up your blog?You need to do two things:
1. back up your database
2. back up your wordpress/theme files
You can backup your db by using phpmyadmin. To do so click the export tab and select download.
Another way is to download and install the database backup plugin. Then from settings click backup. From here you can choose to send a copy of your database to any email of your choice or download the db to your computer.
To backup your wordpress and theme files just use your ftp client and download them to your computer.

In reply to: Is there a way to number archive postsThanks MichaelH!
That worked great now the numbering starting from the first post. Any idea though how I can get a period after each number, e.g. 1. 2. 3. ?
Thanks for your help.

In reply to: Is there a way to number archive postsI meant sequential numbers and no the same numbers don’t always have to be associated with the posts, sorry if I wasn’t clear earlier.
Whooami:
I tried adding this:
<?php echo $my_post_count; $my_post_count++; ?>
to my archives.php. And it works but for some reason the first post is not counted. Beginning from the second post the numbering starts. Also the numbers don’t have a period after them , so now they are 1 2 3 instead of 1. 2. 3.
sorry but the only php I know is copy pasting the code 🙁

In reply to: HTML coding for sidebarThis was tough since your theme uses many div overlays as well as multiple background images. Since your sidebar used a patterned gradient I had to make a few changes to the layout and design. But I think it looks better now nonetheless.
Steps:
1. Backup your old style.css just in case.
2. Upload and replace your old style.css with the new one.
3. Upload the image to your theme’s images directory.
Here’s the zipped file that contains your stylesheet and image:

In reply to: HTML coding for sidebarAlso upload the background image that you are using to a website like rapidshare.com and post the link here. I will need that to make the bg.

In reply to: HTML coding for sidebarCrusoe21, the solution I posted is the same as the one Darran’s link suggests. That’s where I got it from originally. Anyway I can’t help you unless you post your html code. Open index.php and paste all the code from there. Also paste *all* the code from your style.css.

In reply to: How to change admin username and password?I agree with softsweneed, I change my username from the database as well. From there you can even change the wp_ prefix that comes as default on wordpress installations (which is suggested for security reasons).
