Make sure your theme is validated–both the xhtml and css. It shouldn’t be a problem with the actual WordPress code.

I like it, I’ve really been into typography-focused & clean designs lately. Great choice on the theme.

I noticed your site wasn’t validated. Only 10 errors, but this would probably fix your cross-browser compatibility issues with the dividing lines, and whatever else.

Perhaps just rethink your categories, and create more sub-categories of sub-categories? Let your visitors dig through to content that’s more and more specific.

One way to do it would be through the Alphabet, but that’s not very user or SEO friendly.

I see you have things like ‘action comics’ and then another category like ‘Ale Garza.’ Perhaps you could just have the main categories be ‘Action Comics’, ‘Image Comics’, etc, and then have the respective comics in each category. You could then have subcategories in that of authors, and then titles, and then posts.

Try to replace…
<?php wp_list_bookmarks(); ?>

with this…
<?php wp_list_bookmarks(‘categorize=0&title_li=’); ?>

…in your page file, or wherever your bookmark PHP code is.

This will set the categorize property to 0. Since your only current link category is named ‘Blogroll’ it will turn it off.

Yes, wordpress is very flexible like that, the main idea is to just create pages and not posts. Or you can link directly the post pages, rather than have them automatically update on your front page.

The free wordpress hosting is the same on WordPress.com and www.remarpro.com I believe. They just both offer a wordpress blog.

And no, you cannot get a free domain name unless you win a contest or something of the like. Domain names are only a few dollars a year though, and you can just update your nameservers for the domain with your free blog hosting account at WordPress.

The wordpress version should not matter for this since the text widget was there in the older version as well. I can’t troubleshoot the problem exactly, but I would suggest removing it and adding it again.

If that fails, then yes, just update your wordpress version and see if that resets it.

So you’ve unzipped the folder correct? (Using winzip or your basic comuter software, depending on what your running on)

If you’ve connected correctly in to your FTP, you should see all your files and directories, etc. If you’re having problems connecting to your FTP, what exactly aren’t you getting? Do you have the correct username/password/host etc? Or is it something else?

It should be public_html > wp-content > themes

If you’ve done all that, check inside the folder on your computer. Sometimes I’ll have downloaded themes and it won’t directly be the theme files inside. Instead it will be something like ‘amazing_grace’, and then inside that another directory called ‘amazinggrace’ and a readme file or something. This like this vary, but I guess what I’m trying to say is make sure your uploading the directory with the wp files in it like index.php, header.php, page.php, etc.

I actually had that happen too..I went from an average of 150/day and then randomly had a 400 hit day just yesterday. It doesn’t seem like it would have anything to do with spamming by another individual or group, but I suppose I don’t know much about it either.

I did see the same results on my awstats, so I know it wasn’t an error in the plugin. (I have the WP-Stats plugin too). I’m not sure what’s going on, maybe we’re just popular. ??

If anyone else knows the specifics…let us know.

I like the content…its a very useful site.

I would lighten up the background color however, the blue adds enough contrast to the white content items. I would also spice up your logo from just ‘Cool-Freebies’ to something with a more interesting font, an image, etc. ??

…I had that error fixed within an hour. I of course posted it because I didn’t want my visitors to assume my nonfunctional layout were my new revisions..

As for my ranking, my websites only 2 months old, as I said in my original post. My rankings on other websites are much higher too, remember Alexa ranks on the average of the last three months. Only two months ago was my new site with no SEO work done, which of course goes into the average I have today
… My last week average was 927,801 and going higher every week. I’d say over two months time 200+ hits a day is fairly decent.

I understand I still have validations errors, and it’s because of some video posts. I plan to find a workaround, but for the time being I feel the content is too important to delete just to fix some validation errors.

I was looking for more a review on my content and overall website appeal, opposed to things I already know and things I can’t help at the moment because of my website’s age.

I also don’t want my websites reviewed based on one post that was up for an hour at the most.

thank you for that! I did have it validated at one point. :\ I’ve probably just messed with it too much since I’ve set up the layout.
