hey all - does anyone know if I can change "Postage & Packing" in the paypal checkout? i need it to say "Handling Charge"...

hi Jay, that sounds good - all I am looking to do is add a blog to www.triptychevents.co.uk would your hosting allow us to resolve the issue? we have our domain with 123-Reg we might add a gallery with pictures at some point but it's nothing too big... perhaps you could PM me if you think you can help? cheers all, eighty0ne

hey, thanks again - how do I go about doing this? will I still be able to have the blog in www.mydomain.com/blog? i also have hosting with UK2.net for a couple of other domains - perhaps I could use that to host my blog?

thanks Faevilangel - how do I go about installing PHP? is that possible?

hi - thanks for your responses. as per wordpress instructions, I have uploaded their files to my /blog folder then visiting http://www.triptychevents.co.uk/blog/wp-admin/install.php to continue setup... this is where I get the error message. any thoughts?

hi - should be a quick one for anyone who knows about Wordpress - I am receiving the following code when I try to install my new blog. It looks like the right install instructions but something has gone wrong along the line. I am being forced to use myfreesql on (evil) 123-Reg - could this be the problem?

thanks for your help Connetu_C, although I am slightly bamboozled! it all sounds very technical. could anyone advise whether this is actually worth our while before I spend money/get lost in the setup process...

an example might be a company called www.perfectwedding.com with redirects from: www.bridesmaid.com www.groom.com www.weddingcake.com etc...

hi - we're thinking of purchasing some new domain names based on our keywords then getting them redirected to our primary domain - on the basis that these domains would appear higher in search engines... i have seen this done by other companies - would you recommend it? and if so, how do I go about redirecting them properly so we don't get penalised by the search engine spiders? i have read about 301 redirects using .htaccess but wanted to check on this forum first thanks in advance, eighty0ne

hey all - I found NetRenderer to check my new site for IE compatability it seems that IE6/IE5.5 cannot display transparent PNG. should this be a major concern? is there a way around it? thanks, eighty0ne

Wickham, you are nothing short of a legend. Everything is back in it's place! Thank you ~ eighty0ne

anyone know where I've gone wrong with this? sorry - going crazy trying to fix it and hitting brick wall

agh, thanks sepia but not joy... my borders are set to none here: .profile a img { float: right; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; } .profile a { border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; } unless I am barking up the wrong tree with that... the following should also feature (on this page): #wrapper #blocks #block_right_profile ul { font-weight: bold; list-style-type: none; } #wrapper #blocks #block_right_profile ul li a { text-decoration: none; color: #B10202; as should this (on this page): #wrapper #blocks #block_left_large ul ul li { font-weight: normal; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 2px; agh

hi semiotically - yep, I've done that - I can't figure out what on earth is happening something very simple I am sure but I can't see it...

the css isn't updating the <li> styling on my what we do page either - very confused...

hey all - two slightly different issues - it's as though my css isn't updating properly? firstly, my team page - I am sure I have coded for no borders on the links and for them floated right but it just isn't happening for me! are they being controled by some other code? secondly, in my profile pages, I am sure I've coded the <li> elements on the right to be red with no decoration but they're just not playing dice... I am also pretty sure the <li> elements in my #block_left_large div are styled differently to how they display... hmmn.. what's going on?! link to my css yours hopefully, eighty0ne

smashed it! here's what I used... <div id="blocks"> <div class="profile"> <img src="../images/gif/ian.gif" width="192" height="175" alt="ian" /><h1>IAN</h1><p>Curabitur ac nulla tellus, id vulputate quam. Quisque scelerisque fermentum turpis ut molestie. Quisque scelerisque fermentum turpis ut molestie.</p></div> <div class="profile"><img src="../images/gif/joe.gif" width="192" height="175" alt="joe" /><h1>JOE</h1><p>Curabitur ac nulla tellus, id vulputate quam. Quisque scelerisque fermentum turpis ut molestie. Quisque scelerisque fermentum turpis ut molestie.</p></div> <div class="profile"><img src="../images/gif/alex.gif" width="192" height="175" alt="alex" /><h1>ALEX</h1><p>Curabitur ac nulla tellus, id vulputate quam.

Quisque scelerisque fermentum turpis ut molestie.</p></div> <div class="profile"><img src="../images/gif/mik.gif" width="192" height="175" alt="mik" /><h1>MIK</h1><p>Curabitur ac nulla tellus, id vulputate quam.

Quisque scelerisque fermentum turpis ut molestie. Quisque scelerisque fermentum turpis ut molestie.</p></div> </div> and the css } .profile { height: 315px; width: 182px; float: left; background-image: url(../images/png/profile_rpt.png); background-repeat: repeat-y; padding-right: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; } #wrapper #blocks .profile p { font-size: 12px; margin-left: 10px; font-weight: normal; } #wrapper #blocks .profile h1 { font-weight: bold; margin-top: 5px; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 5px; font-size: 12px; } thanks for your help everyone! eighty0ne

ps. the reason I chose to use 10 divs is so I could have the grey background behind the text

gaz, thanks - maybe I am being slow today but I still don't quite see what I need to change. is it because I have used ten divs and I only really need five? are you saying I need to place the images in the divs rather than using them as backgrounds? agh, sorry... also, why does it display as I want it to in dreamweaver and then nothing at all the same in browser? odd, no? thanks again for all your help peeps if anyone could spell out the code I need to use for each div that would be superb.. eighty0ne

hey all - so is my code completely off the mark? still a bit confused... all help gratefully received! eighty0ne

here's my code if it helps? <div id="blocks2"> <div id="ian" class="teamBox"></div> <div id="joe" class="teamBox"></div> <div id="alex" class="teamBox"></div> <div id="mik" class="teamBox"></div> <div id="jamie" class="teamBox"></div> <div class="teamText">IAN<br /><br />Curabitur ac nulla tellus, id vulputate quam.

sorry Faevilangel, thanks for your help but I'm still confused could you run that by me again? what do I need to change? thanks, eighty0ne

hey all, having an issue with this page i have attached an image of how i'd like it to display (this is how it displays in dreamweaver) - what have I done?! thanks, eighty0ne
