Ok, noone helpful here. Guess I’ll move on. The problem has become more persistent, but I guess I’ll be trying to tackle it myself.

Has anyone else experienced this? It’s very frustrating…is there anyone who can help?

I checked it in IE 6.0 and it looked fine there, too.

Is this resolved? If not, please be more specific as to what is happening.

You also said this “Especially when some of the people that offer their support here do the same kind of work, only they can do it better.” which I took as an insult. No, I do not do shoddy work.

I am not looking to take anyone’s theme and pass it off as my own. Yes, I am being paid. My client does not have the time to do this himself or he would. I am simply taking his podcasts and putting them in a blog. I will be using someone else’s design (do you think, as a designer, this makes me happy?) and will in no way be taking credit for it.

There’s no need to worry about my soliciting help again. I’ve been “acquainting myself” with WP as was so politely recommended at the beginning of this discussion. All of this so I can assist one particular client.

I like your site Root.

So your problem with me is that I’ve asked ONE question for a job I’m taking money for. I have not asked anyone to design the job for me. I have not asked anyone to do any work for me, where I can take the credit. I simply wanted to know if there was an easy way to provide working comps to a client. That’s it.

I wasn’t asking for anyone’s personal diatribe on what’s charity and what’s not. I simply had one question that I have not found an easy answer to. I am defensive since you implied that the work I do is shoddy and that I’m out to con people. I guess I don’t understand how the WordPress support forums are supposed to work and I will discontinue using them.

I have found my solution, no thanks to any help here. I hope your day is better now that you have put me in my place. Thank you for the link.

BTW, I never said I misquoted. I offered a very low price to a friend of a friend, to be charitable.

If you don’t like giving “free help” why do you even read through the support forums? I don’t understand your hostility towards me, nor do I understand why you have found it necessary to attack me and my request. I have read through much of the content on the link you sent. I did so BEFORE I posted my simple question. I did not see an answer and thought a support forum was just that: SUPPORT. I asked ONE question and for that you have decided that berating me instead of providing an answer is warranted.

It’s funny, I went to your blog and I see all of these “Things to Believe In” that list very worthwhile and charitable organizations, yet you yourself do not choose to be charitable. Instead your are “offended” that someone dare to ask a question in a SUPPORT FORUM, when they were unable to find the answer they were looking for while doing their own research.

You certainly attained your goal of making me feel like a second-rate designer/developer. I guess you never started from scratch on any projects, you’ve always been paid what you are worth, and you’ve always been an expert at anything new you have tried. And I bet you’ve never asked a question on a support forum–you’re that good.

Wow, I’ve been reading through a lot of discussions and I have to say this is the most over-bearing bunch of users I’ve come across.

Since you’ve decided to comment before you know any of the situation, I’ll elaborate. This client paid me $150 for a full-blown website two years ago (the price was so low since he was a friend of a friend). That site blew up into two sites over the course of two years. Then he stumbled across WordPress in Dec. and decided it was the answer to his prayers. At the time, he DIDN’T WANT TO PAY ME to basically RECREATE his site using WordPress so he found someone else who was supposed to be an expert. This person definitely knows what they are doing, however, the design was not what the client wanted.

Now he has come back to me and has offered another $150 to do all of the work. Did I mention there are 75+ podcasts that have to be entered? Or that there will be three separate blogs total?

I’ve been using WordPress for 6 months now to understand the basics and I spent 4 hours last night reading about plugins, PodPress, and the backend of the blog. So, I think I have definitely earned the meager $150 I’m being paid for this project.

If you don’t have any better assistance to offer, it is appreciated if you keep your sarcastic comments to yourself.
