Perhaps if you explain what you actually want to accomplish, then somebody can help you out with a good way of achieving it.

Excellent! And no, sorry – but I kind of though you had to be a Fortune 500 or something to become a VIP.

Find the options for Settings > Media
at ______.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-media.php

Here you uncheck “Default share setting” to remove the sharing option.

But under “Restrict embed playback”, add the domain for your selfhosted WordPress to allow embeds on specific websites.

Hope this is what you were looking for. Good luck!

Designing the More Tag

The HTML in your header is broken. You should check your tags (open and close them properly) and validate before you need to look at your CSS.

I’ve used the EasySlider from Css Globe to slide all the images attached to a Page, by using the function wp_get_attachment_image in a Page template.

No idea if this is the best way to go, and not sure about your seasons – but it worked for me on this site. The images are not inserted in any post or Page, but you do have to make sure that they are attached.

Ah, much better option from stiand.

(Other themes might leave something like “Comments are closed.”, then my suggestion would get rid of everything related to comments.)

Try removing the line
<?php comments_template(); ?>
from your single.php

If you check the stuff tagged webdesign on my blog, all the newest are WordPress. Even one in English. ?? Perhaps better examples for you at the WordPress Showcase.

I use WordPress for a lot of sites like this, so that the client can update the content themselves later. And it certainly sounds like a perfect project for you to get started with WordPress. Which you absolutely should and will do absolutely fine with as you know HTML, CSS and PHP.

For this you would create a static front page and use the posts for the news updates.

And in your template, you will have no trouble removing the code that generates comments, tagclouds and all the other blog-stuff you don’t need.

Good luck!

On that theme, you need to go to Appearance > Customise the theme and change the Header image url (full path) to the location of your logo.

Use an FTP to upload your logo. OR: The easier alternative is to use the Media Library to add a new image. After the image is uploaded, click on it to edit and you will fint the File URL at the bottom, probably looking something like this at the end /wp-content/uploads/2009/12/filename.jpg.

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding you, but maybe you actually want to
create a static front page?

If you have a single.php file, WP will use that to display posts. So you could add the code there. Stepping into templates

Perhaps you could create a page template for your child pages and only add the code generating your breadcrumbs to this.

Sorry for not having a specific answer here, but a more general tip is that when you are a coder: let WordPress do most of the work, but do some stuff manually.

There is so much you can do by for example
Creating Your Own Page Templates
and then write whatever html you want on that page.

Good luck anyways!
