Regarding this topic, i added the suggested words by the wiki to my spam words.
The problem is I get messages not displayed and waiting for authorization. This happens even with words that are not listed, does it recognize parts of words to ban?
For instance, i had “sexo” (which is spanish for “sex” duh) banned, but I got a lot of comments banned when writing about a Movie title that has the word. Since most of the spam is in english I deleted “sexo”, and kept “sex”. Same thing, comments still get banned.
Same thing happens with other words.. what is the process WP uses to select banned comments?.. Is there a way to change it from banning the message to just changing the word for “censored” or something?
thnx

If what you are trying to test is your layout, why dont you “save as..” your page as seen in any browser… then alter the css file locally with something like textpad or such and then test locally… (you wont be running php) …
this works for me when im testing layouts and i dont want to be connecting to my hosting service.

take out the
clear: both; in the .credit declaration, that should do it.

Mmm… the .swf would be inside the “header” in your index.php page. By default this id is assigned to an h1 tag, but you can change it to a div (for example) so you get something like this:
<div id="header">
your embeded .swf
<h1>Your name</h1>
</div>
you can manipulate the design of the header (height, width, and so on) by the #header selector in your CSS.
Make sure to read the how-to add a .swf using respecting web standards before you do any embedding … unless you dont give a damn about standards… but you should ??

Yep, i think this’ll do it… thanks!!! ??

Mmm.. you should have something like this
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
specifying the charset you are using, it is a “default” line in the index.php code but i dont see it in you blog.. you might as well just add it in the “head”

Ups.. forgot to login … but the previous message is mine he..

Well I see various problems with your blog that ill detail … (and give my humble opinion on how to solve them)
First, you have a wierd mixture of CSS-based layout (WP default) with table-based layout, this, i think is the main problem.
When I look at the source page, i see two different doctypes
Also, at the end of your document you are closing the “html” tag and then adding more code, big mistake.
You can manage every little aspect using CSS, it makes your page faster to load and easier to maintain (for example if you want all the links to be red instead of blue, just change one of the CSS statments)
Specifically for WP theres a very good explanation on what to change and where to make your site look like you want, take a look is made for first-time CSS users.
Finally … CSS is the “in” (and standad compliant) way to design websites… go ahead… try it..

p.s. if you want an opinion from some “guru” here it is ??

Root: … I dont think that the problem is solved by the box model hack since it is already implemented (all the voice-family statments) but its worth re-checking it… heheh… hadnt noticed it doesnt add up … and i call myself an engineer pfff
thnx stevarino… .. the height is set to be as tall as the header so that if the user changes the font size, it will still display no matter how bigger it is set.. ill try your suggestion and post back the results ..
thank you both for your time..
-hvk

hehehe thnx all.. ill be implementing the text enlargement soon… any other things you think would be worth changing?
BTW … i just LOVE my random quotes (upper left corner) box… a css wonder… well… not THAT much hehe

That’s an even easier way, I thought about it but it seemed too easy, WP never stops to amaze me hehehe

I had never had problems with Safari, it is a very highlevel browser and basically you dont need hacks to make it look good on safri (at least i havent had to make any) unlike ie/win, ie/mac…. so, the problem must be in your code.
As Dan Cederholm points out, validation is a very usefull feature, and gives your site some “status”.
I validated your site, it has 45 errors :S

good luck
