At least there’s an error on <meta name="generator"> line. Don’t know if that code is shown correctly… but it should be <meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>" />

If you want to exclude all subpages, wp_list_pages has a parametre depth (if you set it to 1, it’ll only show the top level pages). If you want to exclude some and include some, you need to use the exclude parametre and list all the page IDs you want excluded.

You are showing the comment IDs next to the comments so the mismatch is because of spam comments most likely (or comments that you’ve deleted). Dashboard shows the number of “legitimate” comments, the ID is individual to each comment (even though you delete comments).

If I showed the comment ID on my blog, the number would be up to 5000 and I have only a bit over 200 legitimate comments ??

Not at all stupid. Asking helped you find it, didn’t it? ??

wp_list_cats in sidebar.php?

ragecg: I assume your problem is that Home is separated from the other links, right? That’s because the header “Menu” is added in the fold_page_list’s parametres. You can take it out (ending up with parametres 'sort_column=menu_order&title_li=') and “hard code” it right above the Home link (as <h2>__('MENU')</h2>, or just <h2>MENU</h2> without “localization function” (__('some text')).

If you have a “declaration” for the correct encoding (like <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />), browsers should automatically change to using it. Right? Are there situations when it isn’t so? (Can a user set a fixed encoding?!) Do some browsers ignore it? I’m just asking out of curiosity…

Podz’s screen capture shows exactly what I meant.

As to the other question, Main template and Archive template can be found in the list, when you go to Presentation > Theme editor (remember to choose the correct theme to edit (Default)).

For example:
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
</ul>

The important part is that title_li= with nothing after it. From Codex: “Displays no heading for list, and list is not wrapped in <li><ul>, </ul></li> tags. (Note the absence of any space after the = sign.)” That is, the page links will be in <li></li> tags so you can add more of those before and after the template tag. That is why you also need to add the <ul></ul> tags.

Naturally, if you already have title_li or other parametres in the tag you need to either change title_li to nothing or add it in the parametre list as &title_li= (there are examples on the Codex page I linked to).

As to your other question, see Creating Horizontal Menus at the Codex.

You have this in your style.css “li#linkcat-1 h2” if you add margin-bottom: 2px; (or some other smallish number), it’ll reduce the space between the “Great Food Sites:” and the links.

The navigation is there, on your blog page (if it’s that linked from your name), but it’s at the very very very bottom. Very tiny ?? It’s not supposed to show up on Dashboard.

Maybe you could replace the current “Previous/Next Entries” navigation (is it posts_nav_link?) with the new one. The navigation can be found in the Main template and Archive template (at least).
Well, now that I checked, you probably have it something like this at the moment:
<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
</div>

You could replace it with
<div class="navigation">
<?php wp_pagenavi()?>
</div>

I’d like the ability to change the occupation since I don’t want to be a uni student all my life ?? (that could happen…)

I love love love the ability to check earlier threads I’ve participated in and the reply stats. Very neat (and not to mention unbelievably useful even for a once-in-a-while helper like myself)! ??

From the About page:
Header font is Ron Carpentera€?s excellent Dante.
It’s a commercial font as far as I know.

yeah, but you’d need to be on a page 2+ of index.php. I should’ve said “subpage of the archives or subpage of main page”.
At least that’s how it works for me

is_paged() will only give value if you are on a subpage of the archives or main page…
