Also – it affects subdomains (cPanel) by giving me a 500 Internal Server Error, such as math.stevenbao.com

Not sure why this is. But cal.stevenbao.com is alright. weird.

I think what he’s trying to say is that he wants to port his HTML site design to WordPress.

What you want to do is study themes such as the WordPress Standard Theme and Kubrick (the blue roundish theme) that is included with every WordPress download.

Take a look at what the functions do and stuff, research on the codex, and then what I do is I make a copy of Kubrick, delete all the files that are special to Kubrick, then copy and paste your HTML design in, and then fill in the spaces where content is supposed to be. After an hour or three you’re done.

Hope this helped.

I know that, but it’s not generating an htaccess.
WordPress is installed in the root directory. When I tell it to update my permalink structure it tells me it is successful but nothing was written to htaccess.

Thank you for your response.

Didn’t work. Thanks

I know that problem – it said that the permalink structure was updated and there was no notice saying something about it not being writable or something. There was no text box there.

Thank you for your response.

Someone please delete this thread.. thanks

My own blog theme is not validated for the reason that Structured Blogging plugin breaks my validation.
The theme at the download is valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional, valid CSS. Check it for yourself.

There’s a difference between the theme on my blog and the Public Release, at https://www.stevenbao.com/test.

jwurster – you should use the real validation https://validator.w3.org/ system, integrated ones (such as to Firefox or Dreamweaver, which I used to use to validate) don’t work as well.

Sorry about the confusion.

In a nutshell, you have to customize your theme to make it work with WordPress, and you can’t stick it into the WordPress themes directory, because WordPress can’t automagically conform to your style.

Ah, ladydelaluna has a point – yeah, don’t change the font size. Sorry about that.

Right. I’ll try to see if I can patch it to work in IE better, maybe use non-alpha images, maybe use the IE7 JS library.

Thanks for validation. Looks great. w00ts for simplicity! ??

Hey Dennis,
It looks pretty good. All I have to say is to make the body text size a little smaller, see how you like that.
For the reason that I like vector stuff, I would put a fixed vector of grass and such. But that’s just me. ??

Nice work.
Steven Bao

Hmm. Not sure what the syntax would be to reverse it. I’ll mess around.

EDIT: Got it. WordPress should fix this so the “last” page is the fresh content…

Thanks OnSeduction!

Thanks for the response, OnSeduction.
How would I go about doing that? Thank you.
