    I’m sure other freelance developers do this as well, but I’m usually asked to convert the entire site into a WordPress installation. The blog just comes as part of it.

    It’s pretty easy to implement, might need to get your hands a little dirty, but your design/layout doesn’t look too complicated.

    Start here.

    If you could port it to XML, I’m thinking that might be a great way to add more of an ‘online version’ feel to it….

    To answer your question, you usually can’t lift a CSS file from a non-WP site and drop it into a WP site and expect it to work. There are too many things to list here that would be different.

    If I understand the question correctly, you want just a blog appended to the rest of the aforementioned site?

    This is normally done using a custom theme template either you build or you contract out for it. There are some really great custom theme developers out there – and for your implementation, shouldn’t be too expensive.

    Did you already go to Settings->Privacy and choose “Allow search engines to index this site.” ?

    If you had a custom menu, you can create a custom menu item. From there, set the a href to a pound symbol (#).

    Maybe.

    not tested, but something like this might do the trick…..

    $ten_cat= new WP_Query();
$ten_cat->query('cat=10');
if($ten_cat->have_posts()):$ten_cat->the_post();
  //doWhatYouDo
else
  //whatever

    I mean, if the goal is to post something when the category is 10, that’s probably the way I would do it. But perhaps I don’t understand the question and/or this won’t work

    #submenu li a looks like it still has padding-top set to 50px.

    Could you try knocking that down to something like 10px or less? Just the padding-top. Just to see.

    To answer your edit, not that I know of.

    If the order of your categories is important, could you run them through a query? I’d think you’d be able to order them however you wanted to then….

    Okay, checked it out again.

    Look at:

    #submenu li a

    Your padding is set to 50px. That seems a bit high. I wouldn’t be convinced that it isn’t an issue between that ul height and the padding of the list element…..

    Please try and post back.

    I’m guessing this is a CSS issue and not a plugin incompatibility issue….

    I did try the mod_security .htaccess quick fix to no avail. I’ll check out some of the other links in that post. Thank you for your time!

    No problem using the Lorem Ipsum text.

    Maybe it just hates the copy the client had in there.

    I’ve read elsewhere about ‘unliked’ words and updating mod_rewrite.c in the .htaccess. Those solutions, as well as a few others I saw elsewhere, didn’t do any good. I might just try changing the verbiage? This particular hosting company is painful, but the client LOVES them.

    Just glancing at the page and your CSS, this block looks suspicious…..

    #submenu ul {
width: 103%;
float: right;
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0px;
height: 100px }

    Maybe try knocking that height down a bit?
