    well, here is a crappy solution.

    there are probably a billion better ways to do it.

    i added into a .htaccess file in the /blog directory the following code:

    RewriteEngine  on
RewriteBase    /blog/
RewriteRule    ^$  / [R]

    ineligent, but it will do.

    probably not an optimum solution.

    if it is possible to refer directly to in images description on photobucket (ie make a call in php to grab it), then i would be able to create many thumbnails at a time from facebook and use the name of the image uploaded to grab the meta-data.

    from this, i should be able to do exactly what i want to do.

    What you linked is pretty good.

    So long as it is all transparent and I can keep photobucket seperate from the blog, I will be very happy.

    If you would be able to provide instructions, that would be a great help. I wouldn’t be able to figure out how to do it by myself otherwise.

    EDIT: if it is capable of grabbing or adding the caption/description of the image it would make it perfect.

    looked for around 30 minutes. Found some plugins that would do what i wanted if i were with flickr. I would prefer not to have to do this.

    unfortunately, these types of plugins are restrictive in that they seem to service only ONE image hosting service. (by far though flickr seems to have had more creativity in this area).

    all i need is something that will display thumbnail of the picture, click the thumbnail and the full-sized image is displayed. keeping the user on my site while saving myself bandwidth.

    yes, this is true, however. I would like to use photobucket as only a place where i store images and to load from (to save bandwidth). NOT as part of my blog content itself (ie i dont want a link on my blog that points to a particular gallery on photobucket).

    i would prefer a gallery plugin to allow images to be referenced that are not stored on the local machine. (gallery plugins ive seen so far have had “upload” to server options only.

    well first off, from https://validator.w3.org i can see that you have TWO <head> and <html> and <title> tags. i would start by fixing those first.

    also, on some themes, when the widths of things are specifically set, and say, a picture or something is posted that has a LARGER width then the sidebar or main content, then the next item would be pushed down.

    just thought id add another possibility into the mix.

    people who can help would need mroe information, such as where the error occurs (ie what produces it), and the line(s) of code that the error pertains to. without information, and lots of it, people cant help.

    check out the following link, it might help you to figure out what is happening. also find out if your wp_list_bookmarks() and other functions are also displaying <.li.> tags or any other html.

    https://webdesign.about.com/od/htmltags/p/bltags_li.htm

    (it was handy in letting me know correct ordering of things, when using an editor such as notepad++ it makes it easier to know what tags end and begin where.

    pard me, a <.ti.> tag inside of a <.ti.> tag.

    w3c validation is usually spot on. The error you are describing.. i have had MANY of. if you could give us the link of the website, somebody might be able to give a solution to whereabouts the error is actually occuring.

    either that or post about 10 or so lines above and below wher the error is occuring (or the entire div element if it is in one).

    through my experience on my blog, when the Archive section had content (ie links in the sidebar), i had an

    • tag directly inside an
    • tag, which the validation complained about.

    this IS a free service, so im not sure that the WP people would mind too much about losing a “customer”.

    Format errors or problems, at least for me, are one of the most annoying and time consuming things. The BEST thing to do is to do what you are already doing, talking with the DESIGNER of the theme, as they would have a very firm grasp of what is where and what will change with the code that they alter.

    unfortunately, the people on this forum do not, and cannot know all there is to know about every theme, plugin, widget or whatever else.

    Good Luck!

    check out this link, it cotains info about creating a “static” (ie doesnt change) front page:

    how do you think the comments work on this site or other sites, with the alternating colours ??

    if you can think of it, it can be done… somehow.

    was the theme like this in the very beginning? If i had spent so long on something, with how much i would have stuffed with the code, i probably would have done more harm them good.

    if you can, try to get a copy of an untouched version of your theme. Mandigo seems to have a few other themes flaoting around if you cant find your one.

    You also have an SQL query error, which, for the moment, wont be an issue.

    personally, i would probably start with the CSS file (if it is 100% impossible to move to the original theme, or a similar theme). Since it IS a formatting issue afterall. i would make sure that widths are properly defined in the right locations.
