The pics themselves aren’t stored in the database, just pointers to their actual location under the wp-content folder.

First thing I might try, is disabling all plugins and see if that fixes it. If so, enable each plugin individually, and try the site.

I want it to be my own. My own design, on my own server, on my own account, in my own code. Commercial-free, clean interface, simple to use.

But you don’t want to do any work to achieve this. Anything that doesn’t fall within your realm of what should be “easy” is crap. If you knew anything at all about DB design, you would see that a poll has to have a unique ID, i.e. poll-id in order to be stored in the database. If you would take a few seconds to read the documentation you could learn a whole lot.

Again, if you don’t want to invest the time to do it correctly in WordPress, go find a platform that is more suited to your skill level. Otherwise, roll-up your sleeves and put in a little effort, you’ll be amazed what you get out of this board when you don’t act like a spoiled child.

Maybe Link Widgets?

That’s your opinion.

If WordPress is too hard for you to use, why don’t give a Blogger or one of the other “novice” platforms a try.

Only those who lack the intellect to properly express their point, regress to using foul language. Make your point without dropping a F-Bomb, and I think you find people a little more willing to help.

BTW, the WP-polls plugin by Lester Chan is excellent.

Check out wp_get_archives

Try WP-Print.

Since you paid for this theme, shouldn’t you be able to go back to them for help? Not that you won’t get any here, but I would think since you paid them, they would support their product.

BTW, could you be missing the style.css file in the theme directory?

I use Windows Live Writer. It does pages and posts and has a good preview mode.

It might help if you could explain what you mean by crash. I assume you mean that the table is becoming corrupted? My first thought there would be some sort of hardware failure.

Look for something similar to the following in the header.php file:

<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
<label class="hidden" for="s"><?php _e('Search for:'); ?></label>
<div><input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>

Hmmmm, maybe it is hard coded into your header.php file (in your themes directory)?

Post a link to your site.

These are the forums for people who host their own WordPress installations, you are on wordpress.com. You will probably get a better answer to your question on the .com forums.
