That’s not quite the right answer. WordPress stores documents as “published” or “pending review” or “unpublished.” Changing a document to “unpublished” lets you store the page while it’s not available. Tip: DO NOT click the check box for private, as private changes the page status to “published” and those pages can appear on your site in places you wouldn’t expect: like when someone looks at a list of the posts in one of your blog’s categories.

Yes, this does seem inconsistent with the labeling in the WP menus, but the inconsistency is actually in the theme, not WordPress.

It might help to get the flash platform out of your way. There is a piece of widely used software that queries either an SQL database or XML files called the JM Image Rotator. It’s built to show images, but could be modified to pull text strings from your database.

Also, “thumbnail size wordpress” might be a helpful search for you.

Just curious… why not ask jonimueller, who has answered questions for you in this forum?

And how come you don’t link your site? Every link is a good thing.

Hi Shelley

You need to create that GIF in EXACTLY the size that you want it displayed. The automatic resizing can squeeze the life out of images.

it’s your hosting, uyon. I moved from godaddy to bluehost and the speed came back. the hosting company has to supply decent servers for the SQL databases.

Landing Page Optimization is a little different from straight up SEO. A plugin won’t be able to sort that stuff out for you. You need to really work a fixed landing page as if it’s a separate website–it takes a while for Google to sort out that there is more than one topic on a site.
