    ok, I’ve fixed the side menu issues, and I think I have it where I want it. One more question: Are the grey stripes on the left and right because of the way the background is configured in the style sheets?

    Thanks Katie1.
    I moved the code you suggested to the header section, and now it looks like this which is not what I’m after at all. If you look here, what I’m after is to get the blog entries in the middle section, with no WP header, basically just the ability to see the text of the entry and be able to respond to it.
    I really wish I knew more about this coding method so I can fix it myself. It seems like it should be insanely simple, but I just don’t have the knowledge to figure it out.
    Any more suggestions?

    I know this is probably super frustrating for those who know what they are doing, but I HAVE read all the comments,and I have spent hours scouring my code to figure out what you are talking about. I have also validated the page, and that didn’t help the problem. This is the code, as I am seeing it in my editor, maybe I’m a complete moron, but I don’t see two sets of header information or two style sheets:

    <?php

    require(‘./blog/wp-blog-header.php’);

    ?><html>
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″>

    <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”https://the-wick.com/blog/wp-content/themes/classic/style.css”&gt;

    I pretty much need someone to hold my hand, I am very beginner when it comes to this. I have been scouring my code for several hours, and I just don’t have the knowledge to see what is wrong, and how it needs to be changed. I’m being told that I have two Style sheets, but I’m obviously very confused, and I don’t see where I have two style sheets in the header.php file

    Glo: are you telling me I need to use the WP style sheet on my website instead of the one I wrote? I’m pretty confused. Thanks for the help with the side bar info!!

    Thread Starter the-wick

    (@the-wick)

    no,they exist on the server. The page is tables based, and the background image is the same as on the header of my page. For some reason, the WP sidebars are overriding my tables. I’m very confused.

    I followed the transycan.net tutorial to a T and this is what I got….something is wrong here.

    I have been reading all about ‘the loop’ and php, etc. I’ve read all the tutorials linked in previous posts, and I have no idea what they mean. I have no php authoring experience, and I’m having trouble understanding how exactly yo do this. Can someone explain specifically and simply please?
    Thanks!

    sorry I wasn’t more clear. Word Press is installed on my website’s server. My site is authored in html.
