What theme are you using?

For the blogroll, try going to Appearance->Editor->Sidebar, scroll down until you see <div id=”sidebar-right”>. Just below this you will see the blogroll, which you can go ahead and delete.

Or just add a widget of your choice to the widgets section, which will overwrite the blogroll.

It looks to me after visiting your site that the advertisement at the top is actually not an advertisement, but rather a theme header.

You might want to consider experimenting with the vast library of available themes on WordPress, to get the look that would suit your needs.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Try this:
– go to Appearance -> Editor -> Main Index Template
-Scroll down and look for <div id=”front-list”>
– you will see some php code that reads something like this:
<?php
$page = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1;
query_posts(“cat=-27,-28&paged=$page&posts_per_page=enter the desired posts in homepage here“); ?>

So if you wanted 10 posts to show then enter 10:
<?php
$page = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1;
query_posts(“cat=-27,-28&paged=$page&posts_per_page=10”); ?>

Hope this helps.

Hi

For an image to show up in your homepage, what you will need to do is create a Custom Field.

-Click on the image you want to show on the homepage. Click edit image.
-Refer to the Link URL.
-It would look something like this: http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/image.jpg
– copy only the portion starting with wp-content. Therefore in the above example, you will copy wp-content/uploads/2010/02/image.jpg
-exit edit image
-scroll down to Custom Fields
-Click on Enter New, type in Image, then click Add Custom Field
-select drop down menu in the Name field and select Image. Paste wp-content/uploads/2010/02/image.jpg in the Value field. Finish by clicking on Add Custom Field.
-You will need to add a custom field evertime you want an image to show up in the thumbnails on the homepage. Since you have already created the custom field Image in the above steps, all you will need to do in new posts is to select Image from the drop down menu.

Hope this helps.

Let’s go through a process of elimination.

First you will need to create a new category called ‘Featured’. There are 2 ways to do this. You will need to click on Categories in the side menu of your WordPress admin section, then fill in the information in the Add New Category portion. Or you can just add a new category when adding or editing a post. That creates the featured category.

If you want a post to show in the Featured section, all you need to do is tick this category when you are creating a new post or editing an old one. Hope this helps.

Now if you’ve already done this and the thumbnail still doesn’t show, the next thing you will need to do is create a Custom Field.

-Click on the image you want to show on the homepage. Click edit image.
-Refer to the Link URL.
-It would look something like this: http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/image.jpg
– copy only the portion starting with wp-content. Therefore in the above example, you will copy wp-content/uploads/2010/02/image.jpg
-exit edit image
-scroll down to Custom Fields
-Click on Enter New, type in Image, then click Add Custom Field
-select drop down menu in the Name field and select Image. Paste wp-content/uploads/2010/02/image.jpg in the Value field. Finish by clicking on Add Custom Field.
-You will need to add a custom field evertime you want an image to show up in the thumbnails on the homepage. Since you have already created the custom field Image in the above steps, all you will need to do in new posts is to select Image from the drop down menu.
