Welcome Chris - you'll like it here!

Welcome! Good luck, keep at it - despite the occassional aggravating little problem you can usually find all the help you need here or with judicious use of Google!

That is just TOO cool! I've never seen anything like that.

Thanks. Glad to be here. Especially if anyone here can keep me from pulling all of my hair out over MT <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Welcome to TCH . . . as for MT, well, once you've done a bit of work in it you'll find that it comes more easily. Just a little experience is all it takes. Meanwhile, hang onto the hair! I visited your site - looks like you're on your way to a very nice photo blog! Good job!

That's a tall order for a "generated" system, however, you could also take a look at PHPCodeGenie not sure how "uptodate" it is but it's something to look at.

Chris, I moved to TCH in January, initially because their hosting prices were very, very competitive but have come to find that the TCH "family" really does a bangup job of making you feel like you're getting way more than your money's worth. As for MT - I've been running MT for a few years on several hosts and this is the only hosting service that provided user forums that were as helpful as TCH's. If you have an MT question there are a few MT users around and I'm sure they'll give it their darndest. Welcome to the forums - I don't think you'll find a better host than TCH!

My advice (FWIW!) - let it go.

The internet world is like the "real" world -- some follow all the rules, some think the rules are made for everyone else, some learn the rules from their friends who don't know the rules, and some are just ignorant of the rules. On the internet there are some who have lots of experience and would always take care to give credit to the author of the information they're using; there are some who don't think for a moment that they need to worry about it because that's how they treat everything - these are the folks who, IMHO, are most likely to be found downloading (stealing) music and software; and there are many others (more showing up each day) that are new to this stuff and don't have a clue about much of anything. As for splashing sensitive talk all over the internet, well -- if you don't want something to end up on the editorial page of the NY Times then don't say it, don't write it, don't send it! Simple eh?! I feel for ya, but all I can say is that you've evidently handled it as best you can.

and likewise John F. Kerry's new name is Doofus Pottydoodle while my new name would be Farcus Farklesquirt? Hillary Rodham Clinton would be Boobie Pottylips! I'm not sure I like this game

Serpentine - I agree with the others - Becca's template's are really nice looking. My blogging varies with my mood and my energy. Mostly I blog things that bug me, move me, or otherwise motivate me. My primary reason for blogging began with a community of bloggers (see my tagline) - finding out what others think, communicating about our faith etc. etc.. It's been fun. As for visitors - well, if you spend your time worrying 'bout that you'll lose your focus - just write.

Congratulations to the whole family. What wonderful news! These days so many folks are figuring out how NOT to share their love and lives with children - sure is refreshing to hear about someone who's not afraid to!

Simply because there's SO MUCH - at some point you keep stuffing new info into your head and what you already know starts falling out your ears!

He's right - otherwise it'll take a trip into the registry editor. You'll get lots of other benefit out of MS Powertoys anyway. (my favorite is the "Open command window here" tool). A somewhat useful resource for XP users: Tweak XP

I am very empathetic with your Verizon experience. I'll say that I haven't had either of the two services available to me actually installed or tried them out. Time Warner offers their phone package over broadband and Vonage is the other available. I'm interested in dumping Verizon but so far the alternative doesn't look to be nearly as reliable as Verizon. My guess (I emphasize GUESS ) is that if you're a cell phone user you might have some idea of the quality that you could experience from Vonage. The apparent "static", missed words, lost signal - all that is possible with voice over IP. Verizon on the other hand does provide a loud, clear connection 99% of the time. THe other gotchas might be : - you aren't able to use anything but cordless phones (Time Warner says that with a little phone box rewiring you'll be able to use all your other regular phone outlets - but who wants to dive into their phone box? Especially if you're an apartment dweller - you won't even have access to it). - Emergency 911 may not be available as you're used to it over your normal phone line. It could vary from unavailable to available *if you register* your location with the 911 center - and even then you will have to be able to speak verbally over the phone in an emergency. So while cost savings look great you may well be getting precisely what you pay for. Again - this is just my opinion gathered from others and from talking with sales folks at TW. Altho it galls me, I'm sticking with Verizon for now.

I have viewed the site at http://www.livinginnorthernkentucky.com/Lucky13final/index.html and it is unclear what your question actually is. What "logo images on the left"? The rabbit? The little blocks of color to the far left of each of the navigation/menu items? To reduce the space between cell contents and the inside border of the cell use: <table cellpadding ="0" . . . > to reduce the space between cells themselves use: <table cellspacing = "0" . . . > Of course they may be used concurrently in the same table. Yeah, happens all the time! Seems to happen within minutes after you ask the question!

A resource site you might check out is http://distrowatch.com/ you'll find just about any and every flavor of Linux on the planet listed there plus links.

Thanks for taking the time to document this for us. I'd been considering trying Wordpress also (I'm an MT user). I have confirmed that MT exports the comments with the entries in MT 3.x I look forward to more info. Don't forget to tell us what you think of Wordpress once you get going!

Hosted blogs might be the way to go for your friend. In addition to Blogger there is also MovableType's Typepad I'm sure there are several others but right at the moment they escape me.

First - welcome to the Forums and to TCH - good move! I've been a customer for several months and am glad I moved over to TCH (I've used 4 others over the last 5 years). Second - If you're installing MT for the first time it can be a tad daunting but our "Blogs" forum is usually able to straighten out pretty much any question.

Apologies to all - messed up the attachment on the previous post and didn't have an "edit" button! serpentine is right - you're better off using a single table (from what we know at this point). ><table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="2"> <tr> <td>Some stuff nav 1</td> <td>some stuff content 1</td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="2"> </td> <td>some stuff content 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>some stuff content 3</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Some stuff nav 2</td> <td>some stuff content 4</td> </tr> </table> <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Welcome to the Forum darrien. I've left a "test" comment at your blog. Works like a champ. Good luck!

Try this to line up the rows <table> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Some stuff, table 1</td> </tr> <tr valign="bottom"> <td>Some more stuff, table 1</td> </tr> . . .

Thanks a bunch!
