WordPress Styles

How do I design a Word Press blog and have it show up on a clients domain name?

i.e.
www.clientswebsite.com contains wordpress blog?

I’m a amateur graphic/web designer

You can’t unless you have access to the server. If you are installing Wordpress for a client and they have given you the log in info to the Control Panel, just look for WordPress in the Control Panel. Most good hosting services already provide WordPress ready to be installed with the Control Panel’s Installer.

I have checked Worpress.tv, any other tutorials i can find & searched Google but can’t find an answer to this problem.
In a nutshell, i recently bought a Wordpress template. It looks great & very functional too.
However, i really need to have my Pages & blog posts SEO optimised. One of the ways in do this is to change the ‘Custom’ Permalinks settings to ‘%category%/%postname%’ .
However, when i do this in the Wordpress template, it messes up the image links.
The template designer has told me that the solution would be to replace all the links with absolute links.
I really haven’t a clue what he’s talking about.
Unfortunatley, the designer is not english-speaking & so we’re having difficulties understanding each other. Please can someone help. Thanks.

basically what he is trying to say is

currently your images are bing called as

<img src"/images"> like directory wise

instead , he is asking you to do it < img src="www.yourrsite.com/images" > get it ?

I want to learn web design and would like to ask whether I should learn wordpress or dreamweaver CS4 to make a site like this:

http://www.truthaboutabs.com/

I want to create around 20 websites that look similar to this so:

What would be easier?

I am prepared to take on a learning curve if need be.

you could create a similar site with either wordpress or dw… it is really up to you…

however, dw offers a better long term tool for future site development in that if you learn the ‘how to’ things in dw, you can expand for more complex sites later… wordpress has some limitations for ease of design creation, though if you have the patience to dig into all of the files you can really do just about anything with wordpress – it is unlikely, though that you would be able to take the majority of what you learn to do in wordpress and translate that to any type of career – I have yet to see a job posting for wordpress designer.

of course there are other design tools you could use but dw is as good a place as any to start with…

Can you help me design a website? Looking to build a fansite/website through Wordpress with a blog as the homepage. Also want a gallery, forum, ads, etc. No beginners please. Post an email address and we can discuss this into further detail. Thank you.

Yes definately. You can contact me for good corporate level designs at low price at http://www.webdesigning-mumbai.com or you can directly e-mail me at aspectitsolutions@gmail.com

can ANY of the text be changed by you when you need to? Its just that I’ve paid this guy, he sent through the finished package to me and also the web hoster, and after that I noticed a mistake (a big one) in the text on the site! So that I don’t have to muck around contacting this guy again I need to know can I change ANY of the text or images myself through wordpress> or only parts?? is the process easy?
Thanks a lot for your help.

am expert in wordpress..and i can help u..:)

Hi guys,

i searched the net and found nothing but a few softwares like artisteer which is very limited
and u can’t design what u want exactly, it’s a samples nothing more or less, plus i couldn’t
find the full version of the softwares so it’s making watermark on the saved templates.

so, i’m a good photoshop designer, i want to design a wordpress theme

what am i suppose to do ?

thank u & srry for the english
Thank you guys, good answers.

You’re contradicting yourself.
A "professional" wordpress theme is not automatically generated. Likewise, you don’t jump straight into doing "professional" wordpress themes. You start by learning how to code in html and css (photoshop isn’t actually play that big a part), then design your first wordpress theme, and slowly improve your own skills, until you get good enough to be considered "professional"
Happy learning

My hair is around this length…

It grows fairly quickly, maybe 3/4 inch a month?
I want my hair to be like this:
how long will it take, and what are good ‘transitioning’ styles?
Do those supplements really work? My mom discourages them…
My second link disappeared… I want my hair to look like this:

DAMN!! you have inspired me by your sexyness. id say it will take about 2-4 months, maybe a tad longer, and btw i added you to my contacts

How easy would it be for an average computer user to design a wordpress site similar to this one:

tv.winelibrary.com

If it looks too hard, I could have it done professionally. Would a place like godaddy.com be able to design it and give me hosting?

wordpress is distributed under GPL license. It means themes/plugins available for wordpress are also become in GPL. Companies like Template monster’s sell WP templates. After templates being sold can anybody resell/freely distribute with/without modifying their themes?
Is it legal?

No, it’s not legal:

This is not the first time Jay Z has produced lyrics that can be viewed as racist. Not only am I offended by the "all black everything," other lyrics, and the video, I am equally offended by the usage of the word "homo" by West. If I, as a proud, white individual used the "N" word so freely in a song, I would be crucified by the press!

The double standard regarding racism in our country is horrifying. As a white individual, I am always expected to feel guilty about my white ancestry, even though my mother moved from Europe to America in the 1960s; thus neither my immediate family nor my ancestors participated in the institution of slavery. However, after reading the book, The Known World, by Edward P. Jones, I was completely shocked by the tradition of freed black Americans buying farmlands and purchasing other black Americans to work those farmlands during pre-civil war America. This is a piece of history thoughtfully omitted from most American history books.

And, yes, I said, “black Americans.” I refuse to use African-American because I feel we are all AMERICANS … period; no hyphenation, no separation. Doesn’t using African-American go against the entire civil rights movement? I thought the central theme of this movement was to not be separate and to be looked upon as being equal.

I know I will be looked upon as being a racist for these comments. However, if the white community created a television network celebrating the history and accomplishments of only white individuals, or a magazine devoted to white issues, or white award shows, or scholarships for outstanding white students, or a white history month, etc., then these white participants would be viewed as racists.

It’s unfortunate that white AND black Americans have to suffer through any type of racism. However, I will not allow the acts of a small, racist minority to continue to tarnish my history as a white American.

So, what’s your opinion? And, please, let’s debate this issue without unnecessary attacks upon each other. This is the reason why race relations are still so poor in our society; we are unable to engage in intelligent agreements/disagreements without attacking each other personally.
To respond to "Being … any other minority is hard to understand if you don’t put yourself in their shoes." I can put myself in their shoes. You see, I am gay. Therefore, I understand being attacked daily, beaten, and overlooked by our government. Maybe I should have mentioned this in a footnote.
To Alexis: Are you kidding me? This is the reason why I picked the new song by Jay Z, I knew it would strike up many uneducated responses. Just to keep others up-to-date on what you said,

"Itz not even that serious.. U need to chill tha fxck down just cuz he sayz no homo. Aint nobody tryna offend gay ppl in that song. Nd all black everythin dont even refer to race. Hez talkin bout carz nd shxt"

This response is the epitome of stupidity. And you totally missed the point. I asked for an intelligent debate. No bashing, no taking what I said personally.

Once again, if I said the “N” word in a song and then told people not to take it personally, do you think they would? Absolutely! The double standard in our society is amazing!

As a black person I really have no respect for Jay Z, no one likes to believe a black man can promote racism/segregation.
My race is irrelevant – but when someone like this starts making uneducated statements he just passes it on to the hoards of young people listening to his music.

We are all human, no race is better than another race – Jay Z lets us all down – black, white, whatever you wanna call it.
