Promoting from Blog to Website! Suggestions needed...

[navjotjsingh]

Firstly it seems your site is again returning 500 Internal Error.

Regarding changing color codes of text and Title. You will need to check classes or ids used in formatting of theme from index.php and single.php files. Ususally post title is wrapped in a <h1> tag. Check if any class is affecting Post titles. Post titles are in form <?php the_title() ?>

Colors and layout is affected by style.css of your theme file in your theme folder. You can change colors from there.

Thanks navjot!

Btw, my site is working pretty well. I dont see any problems. Are you on a slow dial-up? If yes, try once again.

And do let me know if you have any suggestions!

It means some webhosting troubles then. I am on 256Kbps Broadband.

And one serious suggestion, enable permalinks on your blog.

Go to Admin Panel>>Options>>Permalinks
Select Custom Option
Enter in the box: /%postname%/
And Click Update Permalink Structure. This is very useful step in getting indexed in search engines.

Oh.. probably server problem.
It was in Default mode with value : *www.kiran-world.com/?p=123
So now it's only /%postname%/ in custom box? what about the domain name?

 

[navjotjsingh]

Wordpress only needs that value. Yaar, wordpress knows your domain.

 

[Kiran.dks]

lol! Thanks

 

[navjotjsingh]

Yeah, that's much better now.

Also update post links in your pages also. Increase number of recent posts in sidebar to atleast 10. This gives more visibility to blog. Also increase number of posts on main page to atleast 5.

Nice site Kaushik!
Btw, my website is ready. Started added contents!

That template is based on a WordPress theme. Have you ever seen a blogger theme look like that? Neither did I. Some guys at *www.jackbook.com/ are doing an awesome job converting WP templates to blogger.

Btw, that header text on your site is looking cool. Did you did that urself?

Also increase number of posts on main page to atleast 5.

I think 4 is perfect. Don't make the main page too long. I hate when I have to scroll for eternity.

The template is a wordpress theme. Kiran is using wordpress not blogger.

Yes. As navjot said, I am using a Wordpress 2.3. And yes wordpress themes are much better than blogger.

Header background is default. I have customized it in Photoimpact.

Repeat: Can anybody give me link to colour code for different colours?

[EDIT]: Found the chart. *html-color-codes.com/

I have added the text u mentioned and i got this msg `You should update your .htaccess now.` What should i do now? Actually i have started my blog very recently so need lots of help. This is the link to that post. Thanks

 

[navjotjsingh]

Check if you have a .htaccess named file in your public_html folder. If not, create it and if its there, make it writable.

And now again click Update under Permalinks...so that WP writes itself to .htaccess file.

Anindya, Congrats for starting a blog! Make sure you have enough time to keep it updated! I am finding very hard to keep mine updated. No time at all.
