Bump.

Anyone have more information to put me in the right direction?

Nice. But how about adding text and what not? I wanted to add a small “About me” section like my friend, possibly. However, I still have that issue when editing it without doing widgets. Unless I made a custom widget with the text in it I want I guess?

Thanks for taking a look, Adam. As far as importing 3rd party widgets into my WordPress blog, how do I go about that? On my friends blog that I posted the link to, she has Twitter icons, Technorati, Revver, Flickr, etc. I want to be able to have ones like those as well. Do these websites offer importable widgets, or do you have to make them yourself?

I’m not sure how to go about getting it to work in Widget form, as I’ve never used it before. I’ll play around with it and see what happens.

I’m wanting the sidebar to look something like https://www.tastyblogsnack.com

Nope, I’m sure. When I make any changes at all, even like one character, it will even knock my blog posts completely off my blog and just show my header. Really strange.

“When all else fails, reinstall.”

Exported my WordPress file to a .XML and deleted everything from my old installation, then went ahead and did a fresh install of 2.3, imported my .XML output file back into WordPress, and now it works like a charm.

Alright, so I just installed a fresh installation of WordPress under a new directory on my server and it runs at normal speed. So now I know that it’s something with my blog since this test blog I newly created from scratch is fine.

No clue what to do from here. The cuplrit must be something in PHP.

After I get finished with lunch here I’m going to attempt to do a test installation with a new database and a new WordPress installation of 2.3 and see if it lags. If so, then I know it’s something with my PHP or database system. If not, then I know it’s something just with my blog individually.

When I was doing some Google searching earlier some posts I found in other forums mentioned a PHP memory rewrite or something of the sort. Would you be able to help me locate where to do that? I’m not extremely familiar with the locations of things in the php.ini.

I don’t see how it could be flaky. I just have the base install. No plugins, nothing extra, just the blog.

I thought it might be because I was outdated and had version 2.1, so I went ahead and upgraded to 2.3, but no changes. Still slow as can be. Verion 2.3 doesn’t even tell me the page load times at the bottom of the page anymore.
