    I want to re-install one of my blogs due to a strange error on the css or something. I won’t delete the data base, so what do I have to do, just delete all the files on the server and then intsall it again using the old data base? Thanks in advance,

    Oh and another question! If I re instal the blog, will I lose the current links on the left bar, etc?

    there is really no point in re-installing as all info is stored in the database not the files.
    you would do better fixing your problem. if it’s css related can’t you just upload a fresh copy of your theme?
    if not, please describe the problem you are having in more detail.

    I have 2 blogs, they worked fine for months, all I do is make updates and Im the only one with access to it. But one day one of the blogs started to look wrong, like the css is messed up or something, I changed the theme but it still looked bad even with the classic one!
    Yesterday my other blog (hosted on the same server) started to look wong too. The left colum just went to the bottom, I also tried with other themes but to no avail. My other blogs hosted on different servers look just fine.

    I alreay asked about these problems 2 times here in the other sections but I got no answers so re installing the blogs was the only thing I could think of. Now you say it wont make a difference so I dont really know what to do. My blogs are (::adult content::) latingirlscam.com and gaylatinblog.com

    Yesterday my other blog (hosted on the same server) started to look wong too. The left colum just went to the bottom,

    Most of the time that has to do with either copying/pasting from something like MS Word to a post or including code and leaving a tag open. On your (::adult content::) latingirlscam.com blog, it looks like the problem was introduced on the 22 May post (H..L..G). If you remove that post, it will probably clear the problem.

    You were totally right! I deleted that post and the blog looked normal again, now I just have to discover which one is the bad post on the other blog and delete it too. Thanks a lot!!

    Well, you’re on your own with that one…good luck ??
