Made some font changes.

Yeah, the home page is something else that I am looking at sorting out. Maybe get shot of the "latest" boxes down the bottom, that would cut out a lot of options. But, the reason why I linked up the news sites is because they manage to squeeze a lot of links in very well without it looking cluttered. I could probably get about 25% of my whole site in that Telegraph format!

Thanks Ben, I recently added the orange around the subscription box after seeing organge/blue on another site, and quite like it, Maybe more orange? I see what you mean about underlines - all the headers are underlined, will look at changing to nicer fonts. Cheers

and just had a mail from the webhost to say that they are looking at network issues. Those guys are sharp! Right, back to the design ....

I think the issue is resolved. Poor timing! Had a Pingdom alert so it was not just you either. But back up again now. Fingers crossed.

strange, it is not normally like that. Looking in to it now!

Hi Been a long time since I was last here, so hi again. I run my own website. I built it all myself using Wordpress. I have slightly modified a free theme (just tweaking the CSS to get it to look the way I want). However, I feel it does not have a strong image, does not impact etc.. But, I cannot work out what (or how) to change to make it a lot better. It is a article based website, 2 columns. So my thinking is that all that is needed really to make it look lots better is a snazzy looking header area and sidebar. Maybe some tweaks to content layout, fonts, colours etc. too.

Thanks, I will try Eddie's option first, then maybe wonder about the mess....

I updated the background using the wordpress background tool for http://www.bumstumsandthighs.com/ and the background shows in Firefox and Chrome but not in IE 8.0.6001 I am guessing that I need to force something in for IE in the CSS manually, but cannot work out what or how. Any ideas?

Cheers Eddie, will give that a go. Although I did read that Google do not support IE7.

Has anyone else had a problem with getting Google+1 code to appear in IE7 ? Mine is fine in FF and Chrome but not in IE. Page site is: motleyhealth.com. The code sits between the FB share and the comments link above articles.

Some Wordpress viruses are simple to remove, others a pain. First - does your webhost keep backups? How many changes / posts / comments have been made since? A good webhost will roll back the server to the last good backup for you. If this is not possibly then a clean installation of wordpress is the safest option. Backup yout database (use phpmyadmin) and your theme (although the theme files are likely hacked) and do a new clean install, insert the database and use a default template. Hopefully you have your theme files stored locally so can update the old them Next - cause of

The other plugin failed. Given up now., just settling for a static list of "popular pages". There are some advantages to doing it this way anyway.

Yeah, Colchester not far from me, my nan lived there for a bit. Decided to continue to use the plugin that does work. Cannot display the content I want, but hoping the plugin writer, or another person skilled with Wordpress, will be able to come up with a solution. For now I have a working solution, or sorts. Static most popular list in the table. Not ideal, but better than nothing.

THe site is alive and well. Testing in one section. Currently I am using a plugin that inserts content after a specific number of paragraphs (line breaks). I have now come across another that involves modifying single.php and that may allow php inside, to allow similar_posts. Hoping that this will allow me to use the php bit: http://www.internoetics.com/2010/02/08/adsense-code-within-content/ Currently just got some static content there.
