Zelos,

This forum is for feedback for persons who have created sites using WordPress. It isn’t necessary to register on another site in order to get feedback from WordPress users, which is what QuakeFotness was asking for.

What is your site’s URL?

When did you upgrade to WP 3.01? A mandatory upgrade to WP 3.02 became available on November 30, 2010.

Tekuan,

Why do you need a background image for your site? Why can’t you just use a background color?

Background images often make it difficult to read the text on a site.

rcdir,

What is it you’re trying to achieve?

Someone clicks on a link to your “disclaimer” page, and then what?

I’m not trying to be funny, but do you also want to correct the typographical / spelling errors?

There’s a misspelled word in title of your site and in your site’s tag line (description).

Also, the word “I” should be spelled with an uppercase “I” rather than a lowercase “i.”

Regarding your questions, you can change your home page to a static page rather than post the text as a blog entry. You can also “uncheck” the “uncategorized” box.

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what your question is.

Tekuan,

The header image in the WP default Twenty Ten theme is 940 x 198 pixels. I wouldn’t use anything wider than that.

I don’t know what the IE8 problem is. It might be something in your code.

One thing could you could try is switch to the default Twenty Ten theme and then view your site using IE8 (and other browsers, as well).

Most Web designers test their site using several different browsers in order to see if there are any problems.

I’ve been using Photoshop for at least 15 years. That’s what I use to create backgrounds and other graphic elements.

If you find a public domain (free) background or pattern that you like, try to save the image and use Paint (if you don’t have any graphics problems installed) to adjust the image, make it more transparent, etc.

Golda,

I like the premise of your blog very much.

The only place I saw in your blog for leaving comments was for comments related to your Jane Eyre article. Did I miss seeing a general comments area?

Also, I clicked on the “read more” links in two of your other articles, and the pages took so long to load that, I’m sorry to say, I gave up.

Do you have a link to your “home” (main) page? I was on your “about” page, and I didn’t see a link for returning to your main page (the page with the Jane Eyre article).

Tekuan,

I just viewed your site using IE8.

I saw a large white nearly-empty rectangle with a very narrow column in the center (horizontally).

Most of the content in the center column was missing. There were some boxes in the center column outlined in black, but they were either empty, or they seemed to only have partial content in them.

Also, the color blue you’re using is extremely bright. Personally-speaking, I would tone down the blue a bit.

The image you’re using in your header is 1214 pixels x 214 pixels at 95 dpi. Is there a reason why you’re using such a wide image?

AxelYa,

Can you please provide a link to your site?

carinette 10,

Can you please post the URL of your site? Thanks.

arcoffeen,

I got a “page not found” error message when I clicked on your link.

Gsarjos,

I don’t see a link to your site in your post.

rugman,

As Reuben said, it isn’t a permalink problem. The permalink is for the post/page on your site.

You can’t have a permalink that is for the address of an article on someone’s else’s site.

All you can do on your site is post a very brief quote from the article — no more than two lines — and have a link in your post / page to the article.

Allan,

I just went to your site. None of the links at the top of the “home” page are working. They all appear to be broken.

Is this the problem to which you’re referring?
