In reply to: Can Search Form be moved to the footer area?I just replied to another post.
I copied searchform.php in my theme and pasted it in the footer. It worked great.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: moving wp to root messing with the rest of site loading up properly?If you want index in wordpress to be home, dump it in. Rename whatever your site name is to home, tome or old croon. (First) Then link to it from WP. You can only have one front page. When your asked, keep all links to your original index.htm/html

In reply to: Database, Username, Installation!Don’t make educated guesses.
Create database
Assign user
Give all privileges
create password
…………..
Then, Tell WordPress in config.php, all the info.
Plus the host name. Mostly localhost, but I have some that are hosted elsewhere.
It really is that simple.
when you create the database, some hosts will atomatitcyly assign your ftp before the db name. Check. And include. It’s just a matter of giving the kid direction..Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: How ? my Blog with my existing websiteYou can link to God or the Devil on a website. You don’t need another domain.
Just drop WordPress in your website and access them both with your favorite web editor. I think that’s what samboll said with the sub-directory thing.
And the Lady was right. Set up a database and point.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Issues with installation – Blank screen (install.php)I don’t have a clue. I know that a couple of weeks ago, maybe three, when I downloaded WordPress, I created a database.
Four things, or three depending on your host.
In config.php.
1. localhost for some, or when you set up your database some hosts do it on another server. Make a note so you can enter. Or copy/paste.
2. then: Usually your control panel login,name_wordpress
3. Username. here again. cp name_whoopie .
4. password. shouldaboughtahonda
Don’t use any of the above. (Or do.) Name the database whatever you want just point wordpress to it. It’s all in the read me file.
Assign the db user all priviledges. Whoopie gets to do it all.
With some hosts, its a walk in the park. With others, well it ain’t that bad. If they are worth a S—, call them. They’ll help. If not, switch to Frontpages and tell your current host to kiss off.Forum: Developing with WordPress
In reply to: Credit Card ProcessingEveryone wants to make a buck. Some off the backs of others. That’s free enterprise. People have been sold on the idea of, ” You must have a web Presence”. At any rate, Get a real site. Call Discover, American Express, Visa. If there is money to be made. Do it right. It will take days/weeks to set everything up.
Why would you want to store information? It makes you liable.
Get a ssl, from your host, not some cheezy shared one and do business. Be honest. It will cost.
Get a real website.
I recently downloaded wp shopping cart, and hats off. it works great.
The difference between VPASP or some other site cart on a website and a WordPress blog, well…
I love WordPress. It brings it down to the common man. Kinda like FrontPage. And It creates a market.
Anyway,,,,,,,,,, you decide.
Spend some money and time. (Theirs.)Forum: Plugins

In reply to: time&cost for creating new templateIf you are asking the question concerning the time required to code a new template, you haven’t done it. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Either spend a lot of free time learning for yourself, (Which you should do anyway.) or, ask someone else to do it. Just download a template that suits your purpose and modify. You can’t charge much, consider it an education. There are a lot of smart guys out there who know how and aren’t making a living at it. Good luck. And don’t sell what you can’t deliver.
I looked at the site. You could find a template, but some Spanish or Portugese person had a lot of time to fool around,, and it’s homely. Do it cheap or refer them somewhere else.Forum: Everything else WordPress

In reply to: blog or site?Buy the hosting, the domain name, do as you will, Cascading style sheets are a very handy way to change appearance, they aren’t the end all. It will take a little more knowledge and effort to start from 0, but you get a greater flexability. Just my opinion. I can control everything on a site, WordPress as wonderful as it is isn’t what things are written in. Maybe it will be, maybe there will someday be a WordPress language like java, html, php, joomla, blowma. I don’t have the questions about how to insert flash. Insert this or that. I have a page and with a little help from Xara Xtreme, or Amara or dynamicdrive, so much free stuff out there for sites. Xara and Amara are not free. Anyway, I am a novice so get a web host and you can decide the index.

In reply to: Separate home page for blog | remove/change sidebar in PagesGo to sidebar php in your theme and delete the ones you don’t want. As usual, make a copy and save somewhere else so you still have the original backup. Take notes.
