Cool so it does add the 301 automatically when you change from default to permalinks custom /%postname%/ ? (just trying to confirm that’s what you’re saying)

Anyone know about this please?

Cool thanks again for the help!

Sweet thanks for the reply. What would you suggest I do if I wanted to try and start learning PHP? About all I know is some HTML and some CSS in a very hack style guess and check manner (which of course sucks)

Any suggestions on the best way to get the basics down?

How would I do multiple pages?

This didn’t work…

<?php if ( is_page( '7, 5, 6' ) ) : ?>

<script type="text/javascript">
google_ad_client = "pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
/* 160x600, created 10/2/11 */
google_ad_slot = "XXXXXX";
google_ad_width = 160;
google_ad_height = 600;
</script>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( is_page( '7' ) ) : ?>

<script type="text/javascript">
google_ad_client = "pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
/* 160x600, created 10/2/11 */
google_ad_slot = "XXXXXX";
google_ad_width = 160;
google_ad_height = 600;
</script>

<?php endif; ?>

So this code would say “display this Adsense if it’s on page 7, but not if it’s on another page” – right?

So because I’m code stupid. What would it look like if you just took what I was trying to do and pasted exactly what I was trying to make into the code area?

Then I can just modify the beginning part to fit the 3 different situations I was mentioning?

Sorry I only learn when I see like a completed code and then work backwards.

So is it safe to say this is how I’d display code from my Adsense

<?php if ( is_front_page() ) 

{ // 

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
/* 160x600, created 10/2/11 */
google_ad_slot = "XXXXXX";
google_ad_width = 160;
google_ad_height = 600;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script> } 

?>
<?php endif; ?>

Is that how it’d work?

Thanks! It worked just like I hoped it would!

No one know what I’m talking about?

HTML

Hmmm that doesn’t seem to effect it unfortunately… Is that plugin the only option then? (I always try and avoid plugins when possible)

I didn’t see any Preformatted paragraph option mentioned…

To clarify:

Step 1: I just create one page as “Home”

On this page I add the content I want to it like my newsletter sign up form etc. a video w/e

Step 2: I create a second page called “Blog” and put NOTHING in it.

This page then should display my blog the way it is now?

Is that right?

But how would I do it so that the /blog/ URL that I create looks the same as my homepage now though?

I don’t want just a list of recent posts. I like the way it is now for my blog I just want a new homepage.

I feel like that changes things as I was aware of the setting > reading option in my admin panel by just setting a page as the home page…

Ideas?
