If you want my opinion, it’s not that bad of a start ??
A simple site with a few pages might as well look even like that…
One thing that drives me crazy though, is this background, it just hurts my eyes. Ouch. ??

Just style your object ??
height: 288px; overflow: hidden; display: block;
– works like a charm.
You could also wrap it with a div and apply that style.
Cheers.

PDO_ODBC is a driver that implements the PHP Data Objects (PDO) interface…

So it’s the same thing I guess? isn’t it?

The problem is that wp uses wp_mail, which almost never works on nowadays hostings. Sigh, sadly but true.
What I did, is just modded the wp_mail, replacing with simple mail() function, and that worked like a charm.
Also you should make sure that the field from comes from your site’s domain, otherwise 99% of hosting provides will block it right away.
Additionally you want to check your headers, and tune them accordingly to your server, so that it accepts your mail.
In my experience, I found support for my web-hosting useful for resolving this issue with emails.
Hope that helps… cheers.

What’s wrong with broken
<ul> / <li> ?
Sigh… You should, perhaps try fixing it first ??
Cheers.

Doesn’t matter how you called it, Mysql remains Mysql… If you know what I mean. ??
There are however three extensions, that let php utilize the mysql features.
Namely:
1. mysql_* extension – which is the first, the worst, and official deprecated.
2. mysqli_* extension – which means ‘improved’ version. kk
3. And, mysql odbc – this is the best driver / extension, and I strongly encourage using it.
If I’m not mistaken the latest wp only supports odbc version, so if it gets successfully installed on your system you should worry about nothing.

There is no need to install analytic – yuck…
Better go with some seo toolbar, or there are also many on page link analyzers.
A agree that it could be the backlink problem, as mentioned.
But, there is another factor that is measured by search engines, ‘stability?’ – you call it… In fact, the less your page changes, the better authority you get in the eyes of google.
So, if your site suddenly changes, there might be a hit, but as long as you have the same link structure, it should recover itself with time.
If your structure changes, you would need some more time to regain authority…
Cheers.

It also seems that this file is taking the ranking of my homepage

Arrr!!!
It will not take rankings off your page.
Sigh… It is internal script, and doesn’t even count as link.
I would also advice you to google about “PR Sculpting”, so you could relax a bit. You’ll understand what I mean. ??
Cheers.

Hi,

I’m not sure if I get you right. But there are many plugins out there that let you have the submenus. I may as well advise you some that I used ?? …Unless I din’t get right what you meant.

Most likely, its the problem with permissions.
Check that this upload folder exists (or being created) and has the right chmod settings. If after setting to 777 it won’t resolve, then you would need to troubleshoot it further. You might just want to google your error message as well, its quite a common issue out there.
Cheers.

You would have to create your own manual, if you’re having employees who use your wordpress.
Actually, when people just have to do some simple task – like editing a page, or making a new post, you really fit the whole ‘manual’ in just one paragraph, and include links, also referring to codex.
If you need to perform more difficult tasks, such as SEO, administration/maintenance, design, etc., then you might consider reducing the salary of your employing for their inability to self-study the codex (j/k). You’ll have to find a dev (or two), who really know the wp, and that’s the way to go, in my opinion.
Cheers.

Completely agree.
This is the very issue of wordpress library, I mean, despite the huge number of plugins, it takes me hours to find something more or less appropriate. And often a couple of more hours to fix it (oh yeah… most of the plugins may still look odd in IE, which is not acceptable for me).
Okay, but these ratings…
They were supposed to enhance the searching experience, but they do exactly the opposite. There are many high rated plugins that are clearly self-voted, some might be given 5 starts, by the excited users. But you really cannot judge before you get maybe at least 10 ratings. Because someone will always have problems, and the less problematic the plugin, the less one star it should have – that’s what I noted to myself.
In fact there are many niche plugins that hardly get above 3 stars, so they become harder to spot indeed.
The other thing that always bugs me is version. Some plugins thousands of good ratings, but they are kinda from 2010. I mean common, there should be a better way to filter out things.
I also cannot find the comments for the plugins, I see only stars that often tell nothing. Do I miss something?
Cheers.
