Just want it to say “copyright (the little c symbol) by James L.”

For now, I’m just using the default theme
(WordPress Default 1.6 by Michael Heilemann)

May change it later though
(A while later, nothing immediately)

I think you misunderstood my post (Or I may have worded it wrong, it was late) I already know all that basic html information, I was just unclear as to what the appropriate tag for that specific line of code would be (I’m 95% sure it’s the <p> tag).

My main beef was where amongst the footer.php code it would go, because there are hundreds of lines of code there, and no indication of “where” I could edit it.

Sorry, haven’t exactly had time to learn all the different code forms, html tags, etc. Just wanted to place a simple, non-changing, custom footer at the bottom of my sites’ pages and posts.

Where exactly in the footer xould you enter information, and what would be the appropriate html tags? (There is a lot of code there)

Well, I downloaded the link and turned on features, etc. Then i get the following message:

Error: Your default author must not have publish capabilities!

I just want to know what this means? As in can I as the adminstrator still create posts, etc.?

Nothing yet? Did anyone create this type of plugin?

I’m also looking for a plugin like this, except mine is where any registered users can create and assign posts.

Hope a plugin like this exists!

I don’t think it will let me edit it because below the codebox it says “If this file were writable you could edit it”.

I appreciate the code, but I wouldn’t know how to edit the #pages { }, where in the CSS to get the width (I have some knowledge of html, but I’m nowhere near an expert at it)

I’m still working with the default theme, just experimenting.

So what would I apply an unordered list to, the about pages, etc?

I figured out how to shorten posts, you just enter the “<!–more–>” tag into the code of the post.

As far as link position, I didn’t realize CSS was attributed to it. I’m still not very familiar with div tags though, would you create them as a “menu item” like home, or about site, etc?

The site is coming along nicely,
I took your advice and wrote everything in the appropriate categories; still have some more questions though:

Where in the “admin panel” can you find those things?

Right now whenever I click on “advice” category, it shows the latest post entry, with links at the top saying “<< Previous Entries” etc. So where could I go to shorten the posts shown, then have guests click on a link to view the whole post? (can’t find it in the admin panel)

Also, is it possible to make “pages” menu at the top, or put links on the left side, etc? I’m using the default theme right now (Would you need a certain theme to assign structure to the site, etc?)

This does look somewhat what I want my site to look like, but to be safe, I should show you mine:
https://www.toptenlisted.com
(I wasn’t originally sure if you could list websites or not)

I essentially want it to have the same look and feel of this setup, but I’m just converting everything into wordpress, which I think is easily readable, better for SEO, etc.

Thanks Again

Thanks

What I meant by “will have blog formatting, but I don’t want it to be a blog”, is that it may look like a blog, but the pages won’t be my current thoughts, opinions, etc.

You also said “If you want to link to the category pages in a link structure, or an external page, you can copy the category URL and use that just fine”. I just wanted to make sure I’m understanding correctly:
-What did you mean by “category URL”? because I was also concerned about my regular pages’ URL’s, and I thought categories were for posts?
-My pages will not get 404 bad links once I move them to my main directory

5. Is copying and pasting my “regular page” hyperlinks to its specific “list page” is the most effective way to do this, or is there a plugin for this, etc.?

6. I also had to create new pages that had a “page parent” (not a specific category, like in posts) that I’m not quite sure I understand, because the parent page (in my case the “list pages”) doesn’t have any links to it’s “under pages”, that I could find?
