Cheers, good stuff!

Hi everyone, I now have a Wordpress based site but used to have a standard html/css based one with a sitemap. I have logged into my Google webmaster tools and found this: Click! I presume that now I don't have my index.html any more there are some links that are not following. I could great another index.html saying we have moved but everyone who visit my site would have to go through this, slowing things down. Any ideas on what I can do please? Thanks Leon

Hi, thank you for the information. I hear directories may not be the best way to build links- as may have been mentioned before, I think I should write external articles for other high ranking sites and link back to my site. Would you know of any sites I should start doing this on?? P.S. Is there a way I can see who is linking to me? Cheers Leon

Hi! I have my graduate guide advice tip site here: Business Bird ...and am having some thoughts on navigation! I would like the posts under each category to be listed vertically underneath when the category is clicked on in the 'Pick a Category' sidebar box. When two categories are opened up I would like the other to close so the left hand bar does not get over crowded. I have this is my sidebar.php- <?php // Menu for subpages of current page // Only shows if the current page has subpages if($post->post_parent) { $parent = wp_list_pages("title_li=&include=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); } else { $parent = wp_list_pages("title_li=&include=".$post->ID."&echo=0"); $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0"); } if ($children) { echo '<h3 class="pages">Sub Pages</h3>'; echo '<ul class="navigation">'; echo $parent; echo $children; echo '</ul>'; } // End Subpage menu ?> <?php // Category Navigation ?> <h3 class="folder">Skill Topics</h3> <ul id="navigation"> <?php wp_list_categories('depth=2&title_li='); ?> </ul> <?php if (is_single() && function_exists('related_posts_by_category')) { $home = get_bloginfo("home"); echo '<h3 class="related">Related Articles</h3>'; echo '<div id="related">'; echo '<ul>'; related_posts_by_category( array( 'orderby' => 'post_date', 'order' => 'DESC', 'limit' => 5, 'echo' => true, 'before' => '<li>', 'inside' => '', 'outside' => '', 'after' => '</li>', 'rel' => 'nofollow', 'type' => 'post', 'message' => '<li><a href="'.$home.'">Sorry, no matches.</a></li>' ) ); echo '</ul>'; echo '</div>'; }?> Could you please let me know if there is more code hidden somewhere? Thank you!! Leon

Hi everyone! Not quite sure how I can lay this out this first box to make it look great and get some sort of CTR- My link I have some images such as this: that I am thinking of putting side by side with the adsense box, but it normally stacks as both together are too wide. If I cop out and put them in a table it still does not seem happy with this as when they do not align vertically. The v align thing could work but I seem to remember IE6 doesn't like it. Could any of you please suggest an alternative layout? I'd like something fun and engaging! Thanks!! Leon

Hey amigo! Just sent you a message- I'm on my work e-mail today Leon

best poll ever

House!

back at ya!

You have e-mail buddy- content has come back Leon

Just checking out your site- love it, a really refreshing design! I have pasted your super .php code into my sidebar and it put the evil Google Adsense box at the top left. I've stuck a quick picture I whipped up in paint to this post as an idea of what I am after Thanks! Leon

Hey empek OK my hosting is crap and things are not loading now (is this normal?), I will give it a go tomorrow! I'm trying to get the vertical skyscraper ad box to appear on the right of the screen ( parallel with the 'Skill topics' box but on the other side). This will kinda 'sandwich' the content! Hope all is good in the Big Apple Leon

On a side note I am amazed how effective the selective targeting function is with Adsense- pretty clever!

Sorry about that! I have pasted in into my sidebar .php file but the ads are all wrong! Any idea on how I can relocate the box to the top right? Thanks for the advice Leon My sidebar.php <?php global $user_ID, $user_identity, $user_level ?> <div id="sidebar"> <?php // Menu for subpages of current page // Only shows if the current page has subpages if($post->post_parent) { $parent = wp_list_pages("title_li=&include=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");

Hi notbanksy, Thanks for the advice, would that put the ads in the left sidebar? Also I dont think my theme is widget ready Leon

Hey , I have a Wordpress based website which I love! However, I would like to try and put Adsense on there to see what happens! I have a 120 x 240 box set up that I would like to put on my page. Could someone please let me know how I can put this as a sidebar located on the right of my page? I have the javascript for it and would like it to appear throughout the site. I presume I need to create a div box (or another .php?) into which I can paste my code into My link Thank you Leon

Hi everyone, Does anyone have a good list of directories to submit a Business/Graduate related website to? Thanks, Leon

Hi Everyone, I would like my Facebook Fan Page to update automatically when I Tweet- Any ideas ? There seems to be the option of doing things the other way but I prefer the simple Twitter layout Thank you, Leon

Nice guy, told me about getting some SEO on image alt tag misspellings!

Cool- scratch that idea! Thank you

I really like this too- I'm not a web veteran but the coolest thing to me on my slow internet is that you don't have to wait until every image has loaded before you start looking around

Hi, What are your views on adding a 'Bookmark Us' / 'Add to favourites' button? Thanks! Leon
