There is a an EXCELLENT tutorial at https://www.urbangiraffe.com . John, the guy who wrote the tutorial has step-by-step instructions on moving the sidebar, and now CSS and PHP no longer scare the bejeebers out of me! ?? Besides that, I also moved my sidebar to where I wanted and am pleased as punch with the help I got there.

I hope this helps you! ??

I hate to be a pest, but I am really do need someone’s expertise. This is beyond me, and as silly as it seems, I’d just like to be able to create a page and have what I input show up. ;o What a silly idea, eh? Especially for a blog! ?? LOL

Are you having problems getting a post on a specific page to show up? If so, can you elaborate?

Hrvoje–
So you want your blog to look like a sales letter? I’m confused–your main page looks good as far as your copy and the style of sales-letter you have, but what is your goal on your blog? Do you want the same fonts? Do you want the same colours? Please clarify! ??

Can anyone think of why my page creation (or the post on said page) may not be ‘holding’ or ‘taking’? I would really like to clear this up and mark this inquiry “resolved”! ??

Hmmm…you are right. I went to the other computer in the house and checked the site–I didn’t get the “edit” option. But the page is completely blank! Do you think there’s something I’m missing in the set-up or options? I’ve been over everything with a fine-toothed comb, but sometimes I think I get bogged in details and can’t see the forest for the trees.

Thank you for the insight! ??

a very nice service. Just one question: where the heck were you when I was learning WP templates a few weeks ago?!? ?? JK of course, but still…. <vbg>

yes! I just found it. OMW…this is soooo far beyond my knowledge base! ?? I just tweaked my database (compared two of them–one is working well, the other is not) and determined that I probably couldn’t break it any more than it was already broken. ?? My tweaking did it–there were a bunch of hash “\” marks inserted in to a line of user authorities in my database, and I copied the working one and edited the non-working one to look just like the former. It WORKED!!! I don’t know if giving glory to one’s Deity is acceptable here or not, but I’m doin’ it IRL! ?? Never had so much relief as that. Now I get to go remove the plugin that caused all of this and just copy the code and paste it on my site. ??

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP! ??

Hmm….I’ve got MySQL account maintenance on my cPanel–when I do a check of the database in question, it says everything is “ok” and “check complete.” I also just chose the “repair” option and ended up with similar comments of “ok” and “repair complete.” Obviously this hasn’t solved the problem, as I still have the same error message when I refresh my blog.

Is there something else I should look for on my cPanel?

Okay, I’m willing to concede that you may be right. But how the heck do I fix it?

I don’t have phpadmin–my cPanel has phpmychats, but that’s it. I’ve just checked my public html folder and its subdirectories and there’s nothing there, either. Am I looking in the right place?

Otto–
thanks for the idea–my host (president of the hosting company) said that it’s the php file and not the database. RAts. I don’t know how to edit that (yet)–I’m gonna have to research that.

Anyone know of any good (free) tutorials on php files?
