Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Sidebar text on main page no longer formatted correctly.Okay, I bit the bullet, stopped whining, got an enormous book on Mastering XHTML, and fixed the 72 validation errors on the site over the weekend. It now passes validation.
Thanks to everyone who offerred to help, but it turned out to be easier than I thought, just very time consuming.

In reply to: Sidebar text on main page no longer formatted correctly.I would love to get the code validated. Here’s the thing: I was so clueless about blogs when I started that it never occurred to me that I would have to learn how to write code in order to blog. I’ve tried to figure out how this stuff works, but since I was starting with no knowledge at all (I had literally never seen a single line of code before last year), I’m pretty damned clueless.
Would anyone out there be willing to take on the job for pay? I could really use a consultant. If so, please drop me a line ([email protected]). I could definitely use your expertise.
Thanks!

In reply to: Letters of sidebar “clipped” when viewed with I.Explorer.Thank you so much.
I just read the article. Looks like I need to add:
* html div {
width: 130px;
w\idth: 100px;
}But replace “div” with (I believe) “sidebar2” and adjust the width values accordingly. Would that work, do you think?
Or should I also adjust the nonindent margin-left value?
Thanks again for the help. It’s a godsend!

In reply to: New three-column theme: TreacleI don’t know if you guys know about it, but I just found this css-based, three-column, liquid site:

It looks great; not sure if there are problems with it.

In reply to: pre-date postsHey, I’m no expert, but that seems to be how it works. I often set a post to go up just after midnight of the next day, and then it appears on the site at that time the next day.
Best,

In reply to: Header Error after adding, then deleting Poll Plug-in…Thanks folks. Yep, turned out to be extra lines in a couple of docs. Deleted it and it’s fine again. And Jalenack, I’ll check out your plugin!

In reply to: Header Error after adding, then deleting Poll Plug-in…It’s getting worse! Now I’m getting errors when I try to post or post comments. Added a comment and got:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/screenwr/public_html/wp-settings.php:155) in /home/screenwr/public_html/wp-comments-post.php on line 51
Can anyone help me. I’m desperate!
Thanks!

In reply to: Category Icons in Siderbar?Thanks folks,
I wish I could remember the site. And I could be wrong. I’m new to this. I’ll keep poking around and if I find the site or anything else, I’ll post it.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Ban a certain commenterI had the same problem with my site. I added the guy’s IP address only in my Options/Discussion/Comment Moderation list, and he kept getting through because he didn’t have a set address. I then added his last name, and it blocked him. Luckily, it was something silly and made up, so no one else will use that word in a post.
Isn’t there also a way to block someone if they have a set IP address so that they get an error whenever they go to your site?
By the way, I hate these guys!
Okay, so I made the page width larger, and that brought the column up and the pictures appeared again, so no need to check this out. The emergency part is over.
I’ll go word on the sidebar tags now and stop bothering everyone!

In reply to: Site finally finished – would you critique the look and feel of it?Hi, Lot’s of people are checking out the site from this thread, but almost no one is commenting. Is it that much of a disaster? Help?
The look, the design, too cluttered, wrong colors, not working with your browser?
Any comments greatly appreciated. (I’m working on fixing the code stuff).
It’s a plug-in called mini-blog. The guy who developed it seems to have stopped supporting it. But the link to it is here:
https://www.nmyworld.com/wordpress/2005/03/miniblog-plugin-01-for-wordpress-15-58/I just don’t know what to hack to change the link defaults.
Thanks for the help!

In reply to: Site finally finished – would you critique the look and feel of it?Sorry, I meant, replace it with:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN”
“https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: Site finally finished – would you critique the look and feel of it?Okay, I did a little research about the DTD thing, finding this site:
And I was wondering if the following would do what you said I should do, change the DTD declaration to XHTML 1.0 Transitional?
Change: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN”
“https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd”>
<html xmlns=”https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” xml:lang=”en” >to:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN”
“https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd”>I know, I’m clueless. But I’m trying to learn.
Thanks,
