You also probably need an easier method or link (via menu) for visitors to access your blog posts instead of just seeing the latest 5 in the sidebar?

You can have a contact form in the side bar using the same plugin (or move the floating one to top right of the page)

By the way, I suggest you remove one of the search boxes.

Either remove from sidebar

Appearance --->Widgets ... In the sidebar (right side of page) click on dropdown of the search widget and delete

or remove from the header

Appearance ---> Suffusion Options, then, Sidebars--->Right Header Widgets, choose to hide the search

General Software Discussion / Re: Are you going to wait for Windows 9?
« Last post by rgdot on July 29, 2013, 08:59 AM »
This needs its own thread (split the posts into a thread later?) but since the previous posts talk about the comfort of using Linux...I need some help in fixing laptop wifi.
Previously had Windows 7 but I installed Mint 13 over it earlier in the year. wifi is iffy some of the time and it takes a long to time to connect especially coming out of sleep.
What steps (may be start with iwconfig?) do I need to perform to diagnose and fix?

Go to Appearance ---> Widgets and drop in a Query Users widget into the sidebar on the right of the page and see its configuration options. 

Can comment is the default. What do you mean by reply to posts, that's no different than commenting or am I misunderstanding what you mean? Starting all new posts gets into http://codex.wordpre...les_and_Capabilities as a starting point.

No problem.
If interested, couple of examples of what can be done with Suffusion are my site in my profile and in my sig.

Is there supposed to be something other than the landing page and the contact form?  I see the image, but no way to get to other content.
-wraith808 (July 28, 2013, 03:34 PM)

The one in my sig is just a one page site for now. With Suffusion you can turn off header, footer and have full page w/no sidebars.

I think (other than security) usually there are two 'immediate' plugin to dos when a site is set up. SEO and contact forms. If you need them these are some to consider:

WordPress SEO by Yoast http://wordpress.org...ugins/wordpress-seo/ (very highly rated)
or
All in One SEO Pack http://wordpress.org...all-in-one-seo-pack/


Contact Form 7  http://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/ (many love it, some feel it's a bit overkill)
or
Slick Contact Forms http://wordpress.org...slick-contact-forms/

WordPress with Suffusion ready now, will send you the login details right after this.

(Don't let the default Suffusion look by itself put you off)

Yes just contents of the wordpress folder, and those contents go inside the public_html folder

The files inside the wordpress directory should inside public_html

Like:

public_ html
        |_____ wp-config-sample.php
        |_____ wp-activate.php
        |_____ wp-admin (directory)
         etc.

Willing to do the move if you want (if not wraith or yourself)

You moved it one level up from where it was? I am asking because the "/" in my previous post may be confusing (site root vs server root). Apologies if so.

Not sure what the /kyathab folder is? The WordPress files should be in root ( / ), one level up from where they are as of this moment (I am looking at your site)

Yes 3.5.2 and that's the correct directory.
However I believe the WordPress zip (and tar) will be extracted in /wordpress and not root (public_html). One would have to move the files, before or after upload depending on what is easier.
Then comes creating the database, filling in the details in wp-config and running the install script

WordPress itself needs to be installed via FTP, themes and plugins can be installed from within WordPress after it is installed.
Let me know if I can help with the install itself and of course moving forward.

EDIT: Many but not all themes and plugins can be installed from within WordPress after it is installed.

Speaking of themes, wraith posted some earlier, the one I most often use is Suffusion http://aquoid.com/ and is capable of a normal blog layout, tiles, and others. It is very flexible with many possibilities. It's also an option .

No email, you will just notice it when site loads for you (a default/404/other page on the server instead of nothing or a namecheap place holder).

Should be good. Old days it would take 1~2 days to propagate, should be much quicker nowadays

You don't need your own nameservers (no need to Add new nameservers, these are almost exclusively used in dedicated/VPS server set ups). In namecheap use the ones wraith will send you  in "Domain Name Server Setup" replacing any defaults)

I am assuming wraith is creating an account on a share space for you not allocating/creating something on a VPS/dedicated setup

There was this recent thread https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=35464

hover.com, name.com, namecheap.com are some of the recommendations.

If you want a mini 'contribute to the cause' from me, I am willing to volunteer :) I can set up a simple/nice site (nice theme, etc.), will be WordPress

I also think wiz is very interesting,and more users taking wiz.
 
:P  :D 
There's no doubt that their English is better than my Chinese...but I still got a laugh out of that.

On a more serious note, as one of those wiz-taking users, I recently installed 'wiznote-windows-x64-2013-07-15'.  But I also immediately uninstalled it after seeing the login screen on startup--at least until I'm happy with the answers to the following questions:

1.  What am I signing up for?
2.  What are the terms/conditions of the cloud provider?
3.  Who (besides the NSA) will have access to the data that I store "in the clouds"?

A Chinese product is probably safest from NSA, safe being relative I guess
