 * No matter which theme I am using, I get this whenever I go to my website for 
   the first time. If I refresh or go to it again later it goes away. However, it’s
   something everyone would see on first arrival and I hate that.
 * I can’t code my way out of a paper bag – heck, I can’t code my way out of an 
   imaginary bag – so I was wondering if someone may have had this problem and knows
   how to fix it?
 * Warning: ob_start(): output handler ‘ob_gzhandler’ cannot be used after ‘URL-
   Rewriter’ in /home/korayn/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 829

 * Related, you might turn off gzip compression from your admin control panel. Options-
   > Reading. At the bottom is “WordPress should compress articles (gzip) if browsers
   ask for them”. Try unchecking it and see if that makes a diff.
