In reply to: Permanent Landing PageMeaning a static home page rather than your blog? It’s available within WP itself now – make sure you’re on the latest version (2.8.2).
Goto Settings>Reading and you can set one of your static pages as the front page.

In reply to: WordPress on Godaddy unbearably slowWow – Godaddy are getting a proper bashing in here. I feel it only fair for at least one person to come to their defense. I’ve had problems for sure (out of the blue server migration being my biggest gripe) but never any performance issues with WordPress installations and that includes today. Obviously Godaddy’s servers are in the US, and from here in the UK my WordPress installations are running fine and dandy. I’m on their deluxe package with a static IP. It’s cheap as chips, and does the job for me – I’d be happy to grouch about them if it wasn’t. FTP access can be a little laggy, but for the price it’s an acceptable compromise for me.

In reply to: Adding my own include file links…how do I do it?Sorry, daft question but I’m looking into this myself. I want to use a server side include myself, but don’t see much point if the file to include has to sit within the WordPress installation directories (thereby creating a second copy of the include file that I then have to remember to keep up to date – hope that makes sense).
The whole point is I already have files I use as includes on my main site and would like to incorporate these within the blog. So, what would be the correct syntax to point to, say, the root folder – would it be this:
<?php include(‘../includefile.php’); ?>
Based on the assumption that WordPress sits within it’s own directory.
Or was the answer above saying I would need to put my includes within my WordPress directory and change all the references from other parts of the site point to there?
