That was it. I realized my mistake right after I posted. Thanks.

oopps!! Sorry about that.

I’ve made the changes you mentioned. Thanks for the help.

OK! I give up. Can you tell me where to go to fix the errors? What file do I look in?

Sorry, I didn’t mean to ignore you. Thanks for the tip, I’ll see if I can figure out how to fix those erors. I have an idea where to look but I’m just a rookie, learning as I go. Thanks again.

OK! In IE7 I didn’t need the 234px. I tried and it didn’t line up. I changed it back to “auto” and it worked perfectly.

I’m finished bothering you now and misspelling “footer”.

Thanks for all you help. My page looks great.

I did what you said and my Sidebar looks much better but it didn’t change the footer.

I’m really not sure that the footer problem didn’t exist before we stated making the changes.

Wow! Thanks, that worked as well.

I hate to keep bugging you but my footer image is off center. I really didn’t notice it until now. I was checking the image files to see what was what and when I looked at the footer image I went to my home page to see how it fit and I noticed the discrepancy. I guess by now you figured out you are dealing with a rookie.

The footer code looks like:

/* == FOOTER == */
#bottom{
background:url(images/footer2.png) no-repeat;

height:154px;

}
#bottom p{
text-align:center;
}

#wp-footer{
position:absolute;
background: url(images/footer-wp.png) no-repeat;
width:95px;
height:26px;
margin-top:95px;
margin-left:460px;
}
#wp-footer a {
display: block;
height: 0;
padding-top:26px;
overflow: hidden;
text-decoration: none;
width: 95px;
}
#wp-footer a:hover {
background: url(images/footer-wp.png) no-repeat 0 -28px;
}

Here is the first part of that file. How much do I remove?

<div id=”sidebar”>
<div id=”sidebar-top”></div>

<div id=”sidebar-content”>

<div id=”subcolumn”>
<div id=”search”>
<form id=”searchform” method=”get” action=”<?php bloginfo(‘home’); ?>/”>
<div>
<input type=”text” name=”s” id=”s” value=”” size=”35″ class=”form-input” />
<input name=”search” type=”submit” value=”Search” class=”search-submit” />
</div>
</form>
</div>

Great! That worked and it looks great. Thank you!!

Can you help me get rid of the original search bar and just keep the Google Search bar that I added?

Thanks again.

I’m sorry!! I wasn’t thinking. The site is https://www.TellMeAboutThat.com

musnake,

I’m back up and running. I made a deal with my old hosting company. They’ve hired some new folks and promised that customer service would improve. They took me back at a good monthly hosting price for unlimited domains and subdomains and I got 2 months free to boot.

I just wanted to thank you for all your help. You are a very patient person and I liked the way you attempted to lay it all out in terms even I could understand.

So check out https://www.tellmeaboutthat.com and sign up for the updates. I’ll be adding 85 sub domains and posting new artilces soon.

Thanks again.

musnake,

Unfortunately I have a J-O-B and have to get some sleep. I managed to get in touch with my old hosting provider and asked for a copy of the DB. I don’t know what the response will be or if I’ll get one. I’ll check back tomorrow. Thanks for all your help and time. Thanks to you, I feel sure I’ll be back on track soon.

musnake,

I’m just soccio97. Fisherama is someone else needing help. The database I mentioned is actually “backup-tellmeaboutthat.com-10-18-2008.tar.gz”. I unzipped it. It was cretaed in cPanel using the Backup function. I forget exactly what it said and can’t check since I no longer have access to the cPanel. I do remember that it was for moving to a new server. That’s why I used it instead of the other options for backing up the aliases, filters and directories.

OK!! I unzipped the .tar file but do not see anything with a .sql or.gz extension in there. There are a lot of WordPress folders/files just like I recently installed and a lot of cPanel folders. I went through and didn’t see anything that looked like it may be what I’m looking for.

I did find something called “tinymce_6f12117b20d44f68758464584a39fdab.gz” it was under WP_Content/Uploads/js_cache. I also have Directory.sql but it’s only 2KB and was created in cPanel as a directory backup.

As far as the options used to create the DB I just clicked on a link and was given no options and it suddenly appeared in My Documents.

musnake,

You are a genius!! I can now connect to https://www.tellmeaboutthat.com. It goes to the brand new blog page, so I’ll really be starting over. I had already posted 10 or more blogs on my old site. Additionally, I changed the theme and made some improvements. Not to mention the three unpublished posts that were there. I also used many of my blogs as articles that I published using Article Submitter and ArtimisLite. So the word is out there and right now the links are useless.

I have a file “backup-tellmeaboutthat.com-10-18-2008.tar”. It’s the backup that was created under cPanel at my old hosting site. How can I restore it and get the files into the right place? It has all of my previous contecnt including Feedburner links and comments.

Any suggestions?

The money I’m losing at this point is minimal. I was making $30-40 a month and growing (up from $2 just 4 months ago). I’m just getting started and have a lot of work to do includeing adding 85 more subdomains. I’ve been down now for 4 days so it’s only pennies at this point but I’m not any closer to a resolution.

I’ll try what you suggest. I’m going to delete the WordPress directory and all the associated folders and files as well as the directory. I’ll then download WordPress again into the root directory and then recreate the database according to the link you provided. Then I go to WP-Config-Sample.php and change the DB_Name, DB_User, and DB_Password. The link also suggest changing the DB_Host as well, so I’ll do that and then save everything as WP-Config.php. Then I’ll FTP all the files back into the new WordPress folders.

The funny thing is I’ve been messing around with this every chance I had for 4 days and I know just how to get all this done. Like you said, I’ll be a pro in no time.

Then I’ll get back to you and let you know how it went.

Thanks for the help.
