But are you sure it is www.yourblog.com ? I am getting only sponsored links in that website! Where should I locate the wp_config.php generator?

^^^ Guys . Some part of it was due to frustration.
I was struggling for more than 4 hours just to upload WordPress2.3 version to my host server. And ask me why?? Because I was doing it on a snail Airtel GPRS internet!

 

[Sukhdeep Singh]

Good way is to pack it in Zip file and extract the zip on server rather than uploading file one by one

 

[Kiran.dks]

Yep...I did the same in a cybercafe to avoid further frustration!

Uploading the WP2.3 files is done to the server. I also created a SQL database with a user & gave all permissions to the user as suggested by navjot. But now I the install.php in wp_admin is not executing...how shall i install WP? Is this the problem of server host not supporting PHP? Or is a reboot of server needed?

Check if your public_html folder contains any .htaccess file. if yes delete them. Because your homepage is giving 500 error so most probably it can be due to a .htaccess file which contains code which is not supported by the webhost.

 

[Kiran.dks]

Ya. It was there in that folder. I deleted it. But still I am getting the same error. FYI, I have not deleted wordpress.zip file in public_html folder. Will it cause any problems? Also there are some other folders which are not a part of WP. The folders are:
_private
_vti_bin
_vti_cnf
_vti_log
_vti_pvt
_vti_txt
_cgi_bin
images

 

[navjotjsingh]

The folders shouldn't cause any trouble. Let them remain there.
And your blog looks very nice. Congratulations!

I've changed my blog template. Had a hard time modifying it to suit me, because I don't know html. Some work left. Will do it 2morrow. Pls have a look and tell me how it is?

Q: I'm not able to center the sitemeter label at the bottom. How to do it?

 

[navjotjsingh]

Put this code around your sitemeter code

<div align="center">YourSITEMETERCODE</div>

Nice site Kaushik!

Could anybody give me a link of PHP codes for different colours?

 

[navjotjsingh]

Can you explain what do you mean by php codes of colors? There are only hexadecimal codes of colors.

 

[Kiran.dks]

Ya, I mean colour codes...
Also, I want to change the colour, size, format of the title text of a post. Where is it located? I searched in Header.php, but didn't understand well becoz I dono PHP. Please let me know.
