In reply to: 80% high bounce rate – is site too slowI would have agreed with you, but this article seems to explain it differently (i quickly ran through it). Read the last section, How Visit Length is Calculated.

In reply to: WordPress Slow to Load on My computerIn that case the problem may be 1) your connection, 2) your computer, 3) your browser or 4) being logged in as admin. Those are the 4 variables I can think of that are different than when we visit your site (and get a low page load time).

In reply to: align title below image in blog's front pageIf you’re just starting with HTML and CSS, forget what I said about using a header for now ??
And for the css, this is the line you want to change:
#site-title a { color: #333; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; position:relative; left:15px; }

In reply to: 80% high bounce rate – is site too slowI Second what @alchymyth said. Average visit duration is an important metric to verify.

In reply to: align title below image in blog's front pageSorry, line 30 is coming as a different line in my firebug. Make the modifications at the CSS rule using this selector: #site-title a. Yeah just add them as new styles to your CSS rule.
About the headers, they are used for search engine bots and visual readers to better detect what is the big headings of your website. So usually you want h1 to be for your website title, h2 to be your page title, etc. etc… In your case your anchor is holding your logo image and your site title. If I were you I’d fix it by removing the image from the anchor and placing the anchor inside a h1. Then reconfigure your CSS to reposition your elements as you want it.

In reply to: Help with Single Archive and Multiple Views (orderby)You can do this through one page, if all your changing is the column you’re ordering by and its direction. For the links pointing to these different requests, append these parameters into the url, such that :
www.somewebsite/archive/?orderby=title&order=DESC
will order the posts by title in descending order. In your archive page, handle these parameters using the $_GET[] global variable and inject these into a custom wordpress query.
Add some default values in case the parameters aren’t defined and you’re done ??

In reply to: No edit toolbar on "Edit Page" screen. Anyone else?Do you have any plugins or any homemade code that may interact with your page edit page? This might cause some compatibility issues because of the update to 3.4.1.
It wouldn’t hurt to check your theme too. Copy your files over to a subdirectory and install a second WordPress (still tied to your database), kinda like a sandbox directory. From there you can disable the theme to better pinpoint the source of the problem.

In reply to: Plugin installation troubleDoes this error occur when you are attempting to install or browser for plugins?
I would suggest you browser the plugins through the WordPress site and download the files and upload them to your server manually.

In reply to: align title below image in blog's front pageFor a quick fix – line 30 of style.css, add:
position:relative; left:15px
Although your site title should really be in a h1 or h2 tag, I strongly you suggest you modify your HTML to insert the text in a header tag and work from there.

In reply to: WordPress Slow to Load on My computerDisabling caching will prevent the browser from storing already downloaded files locally and force it to retrieve them all form the server on every page refresh. Good for coding/developping, but affects the load time.
Enabling is the opposite, it will store files locally in order to speed up load time. This is what you want.
Enabling caching might not affect the load time very much. Either your issue is caused my a collection of issues slowing down the refresh time, or it’s one thing in specific. Either way making sure that the cache is enable makes one less thing to worry about.

In reply to: Get all posts from all categoriesNot that I’ve seen yet. In the past I’ve created a page (where you modify the slug to better represent that you want to display all posts). within the template file you retrieve all posts.

In reply to: How to use comments with pagination?Can you display your code for pagination? You can use the following query:
$wp_query->get( 'paged' )
to get the current pagination index (if not already retrieved manually, which you should already have in theory i believe) and the following query:
$wp_query->max_num_pages
will return the maximum pagination value. Check if these two values match, and if so perform your comments call. If not, don’t retrieve the comments.
