In reply to: Using Google's Authorship Markup – How?Google Authorship has nothing to do with tags/taxonomy as the terms apply in WordPress.
Essentially, what you do is:
1) Create a google profile.
2) Add a link with the rel attribute set to “author” on any content belonging to the owner of the google profile you created.
3) Fill out a form at Google.More detailed instructions are here:

In reply to: Weird static all over my backgound and imageGiven that no one else is seeing the issue that is specific to images, I would venture to guess that it’s something with either the color settings in your monitor or with the way in which you saved the file (for example, you may have saved in a format that’s not entirely compatible with your monitor’s drivers).

In reply to: All pages blank except home pageHave you tried simply setting debug to true in your wp-config.php file? That should at least give the error that’s killing PHP on internal pages, which might point you in the right direction.

In reply to: 5 minute install not!mod_rewrite is controlled from the httpd.conf file for Apache.
Look for a line that looks something like this:
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.sand remove the #. Then restart Apache. That should turn it on for you.

In reply to: By accident deleted MySQL userDid you remember to give your new user permission to access the database? I occasionally skip that step and wind up confusing myself for a few minutes before my brain kicks in and starts working again.

In reply to: Internal server error 500Try renaming your .htaccess (something like .htaccess_off) and see if it lets you into the backend. If it does, go to settings and resave your permalinks settings to generate a fresh .htaccess file.

In reply to: Warning erros on main siteThat, my friend, is not a wordpress error. It’s actually occurring outside of wordpress. You’re having an issue with PHP being unable to write session files.
It can sometimes be fixed by simply rebooting the server, but this is occasionally indicative of a failing drive. You’re going to need to contact your host.
And I would suggest backing up your files and database, just in case. 🙂

In reply to: Export/extract all the URLs of all the commentersThe easiest way would be to directly query your site’s database, either from the command line or from phpMyAdmin (or similar database management software):
SELECT comment_ID, comment_author_url FROM wp_comments;Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Self HostingCertainly it’s possible. Most web servers are just older workstations sitting in a basement somewhere. It doesn’t take any special hardware to set up… just about anything can be turned into a server. The company I used to work for used a janky old Mac G4 no one else wanted as their primary web server for years before it finally died.
But it’s not exactly the easiest thing to do if you don’t have much experience. And it also means that when something goes wrong (WHEN, mind you… not if. Servers going down for one reason or another is a fact of life.), you’re pretty much on your own.
If you’re interested in giving it a try, here’s a pretty good how-to:

In reply to: 5 minute install not!If you’re not comfortable with command line mysql, I would suggest installing PHPMyAdmin to manage your databases. It makes creation of new databases and users much easier than remembering the correct query syntax.
From there, you create you database and a user to access it, and plug that info into the WordPress install screen.

In reply to: Massive site slowdown! Please help! Urgent!Have you tried changing the permalink settings back to the default and deleting the .htaccess file?
In my experience, the biggest culprit for 500 errors is something wonky with .htaccess file… if it’s having trouble with redirects, it could also explain the slowdown.

In reply to: Problem setting up wordpress permalinks in CentOS 6.0Is mod_rewrite enabled on your server? That would be the first thing I’d check.
Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Permalinks on localhost yields 404My guess would be that you don’t have mod_rewrite enabled. You’ll have to locate your Apache httpd.conf file and check the settings.
