In reply to: I’m about to give upAlternatively, you could sign up with wordpress.com, which allows for a certain amount of customization without having to do anything BUT drag n drop. Sometimes that’s the best place to start. And it’s free.

In reply to: Hyperlink from Background Image in CSSHere’s what you can do:
Add the following code into (usually) the div with the id of header in (usually) header.php:
<div id="header" onclick="location.href='http://www.yoursite.com';" style="cursor: pointer;">This is javascript; the only time it won’t work is if someone has js disabled while browsing – probably not a big enough percentage to worry about.
If your header graphic is in some other id in the css, just find the appropriate div in the header.php (usually) file.
[You won’t of course add the whole section there – only the part which comes after id=”header”….]

In reply to: add a copyright date to webpageYou can use this bit of php to update the copyright year without “human intervention”:
© 200* - <?php echo date(Y) ?>Replace the asterisk with the first year your copyright should reflect, depending of course on when the content was actually copyrighted. You can also add your name in just in front of the ampersand.

In reply to: What forum system works best with wordpress?Simple Forum is also fully integrated with wp as to users etc. It has a lot more fun stuff than bbpress does, and it’s actually much easier to customize.

In reply to: Missing ‘Links’ and side bar sectionYour content, in any case, is in the database. Make sure you back up the database before you do anything. Then if you do have to reinstall, you can import your data into the new db….
The only way to get a db backup is using phpmyadmin or the backup plugin (at least, I *think* the plugin backs up the db too). A straight download of files using ftp will NOT get the database too!

In reply to: Codex hard to readI’m not using the monobook theme either…. just the normal…. (though I have to say there’s nothing inherently wrong with monobook – it’s easy to read, easy to use….)

In reply to: Remove all possibility to commentIt’s not comments, it’s trackback spam. Taking all the comment calls and files out won’t help one bit. Only thing that helps is using the spam plugins.

In reply to: Missing ‘Links’ and side bar sectionTo reset permalinks:
Access your .htaccess file using your ftp client and set the permissions to 777.
Access wp-admin/options/permalinks. Reselect whichever permalink setting it is you want, then click the update permalinks button.
Access your .htaccess file using your ftp client and set the permissions BACK to 644.
You’d need to contact the people at wordpress.com – there’s a forum at http://wordpress.com/forums/
This is the support forum for the self-hosted software itself. Doesn’t really have anything to do with a .com blog, sorry.
