In reply to: Changing URLS to something SEO friendly.I never use a public/live WordPress installation in anything other then the top level of a domain. I do, however, use subdirectory/subdomains for test beds. I would recommend reading the Codex doc: Giving WordPress Its Own Directory and then consider having a domain (or subdomain) as a sandbox to your live site.

In reply to: weird codes under comments sectionIf you are referring to the following:
You may use these HTML tags and attributes: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong>
Those are instructions for visitors on what they can include when posting comments on your WP powered site. Those instructions are located in your comments.php or functions.php file depending on your theme.
Before making ANY changes to your files, make a backup just in case something goes wrong.

In reply to: Making a sandbox for a websiteFirst of all, congrats on the gig, and cool that you are helping out a library.
I always recommend building a sandbox prior to launch. Even if you simply have a reusable space to test out themes and additional functions, IMHO, a sandbox is the way to go. Lately, I have been using spare domains instead of local or sub-directory setups. Besides letting me test things out, it allows me a place to show clients how to use WP without impacting a live site and I can reset it anytime without concerns over the content.
Over the years, I have done a lot of site transfers from other systems (including static sites) to a WordPress powered site. In fact, it’s how I came to WordPress.
If you haven’t yet, check out Importing Content here in the codex and remember to make a complete backup before doing anything to a live site; code, media/files, etc..

In reply to: Parse Error – EMERGENCY SITE DOWNJust use your functional backup so that you can get your site back online. Then you can go to a sandbox (local, sub-domain, etc.) and play with your files there to test them before making changes to a live site.
Oh, and please don’t post that much code here, use pastebin (or somewhere else) designed for sharing code/issues.
