TAB

Thanks for the links, I’ve used them and this one (https://hammokstudios.com/index.php?Itemid=36&id=15&option=com_content&task=view) as a guide and here’s what I did:

1. Used phpmyadmin to edit the site in the wp_options section of the wordpress database to blog2.com
2. Logged into Blog to and changed the URL in the admin options from blog1.com/blog2 to blog2.com

Posts within Blog 2 load with the blog2.com/2007/10/19/blogpost/ URL which is exactly what I wanted BUT all the styling is gone, it’s just text and images.

Any idea what could be wrong?

newflesh, thanks for the suggestion! Swapping the float values worked fine. However, it doesn’t get rid of (or move to the left) the vertical line all down the page that normally separates the sidebar from the main content. Any idea which bit of code defines this?

jawinn, I would suggest downloading a new copy of the wordpress default theme of of wordpress itself and then copying the file footer.php from the new download (/wp-content/themes/default/footer.php) to your website in the same location.

hope this helps,
ash

Thanks for the help! The problem is finally fixed by having the code in a separate html file and then using ‘iframe’ to place it into the sidebar as so:

CODE STARTS
‘
<td style=”padding:0px”><iframe src =”https://www.domain.com/search.html&#8221; width=”200″ frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no”></iframe></td>
‘

CODE ENDS

I’d like to thank Justin from WebbleYou for this idea. WebbleYou also has a widgetized version of the BLIX theme if any of you were interested.

Thanks for the reassurance everyone. I’ve got the auto-ping function reactivated now.

Great! Thanks for the info guys, ash

red-star, I’ve successfully submitted my sitemap through Google. I am actually using the plugin with the auto-ping option deactivated. What I was asking though is whether auto-pinging google using the sitemap generator plugin classes as an unauthorized computer program to submit pages for google?

Thanks for the advice. ladydelaluna, could you possibly point me to some resources about defining divs for buttons? Do I define those in the spring_flavour.css file?

If you look into the header.php file for the BLIX theme, you will find these lines of code
CODE STARTS

<!-- navigation ................................. -->
<div id="navigation">

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="get">
<fieldset>
<input value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" value="Go!" id="searchbutton" name="searchbutton" />
</fieldset>
</form>

<ul>

CODE ENDS

Simply add <!-- before <form action= and --> after </form> in as below:

CODE STARTS

<!-- navigation ................................. -->
<div id="navigation">

<!-- <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="get">
<fieldset>
<input value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" value="Go!" id="searchbutton" name="searchbutton" />
</fieldset>
</form>
-->
<ul>

CODE ENDS
This should get rid of the search box completely.

About the gmail invite from TAB, I can send you one now or usually within 1 day.

Thanks ladydelaluna! I have tried this but it turns out that the problem is not with Google’s AdSense Code (+ it’s actually against their policy to edit their code). If I paste exactly the same code in a blank html file, the search graphics display exactly as it should. You can see this in action here: https://ashpics.com/blog/google.html

The CSS in my theme (BLIX) is somehow over-riding how the buttons appear.

Hi jjgp, to put AdSense ads in the sidebar, you will need to edit the sidebar.php file corresponding to the theme you are using.

If you want to have the navigation just under the header, I would recommend you get the BLIX theme here:

If you are looking into putting adsense in your posts as well, AdSense Deluxe is a very useful plugin.

I use both the BLIX theme and AdSense Deluxe on my sites with AdSense.

Hope this helps, ash

smachet, if you log into your blog and click on ‘users’ and then, under your profile scroll down to ‘Personal Options’ and uncheck the box that says ‘Use the visual rich editor when writing’ and you should be ready to paste google video code into your posts. Hope this helps, ash
