Are you referring to the blog linked to your username? It's private, so we can't see just what you are talking about.

But if you are asking: how to make the sidebar contain more or fewer content depending on the length of the widget: I think the easiest solution would be to simply limit the content of the sidebar. Stick to the essential widgets and limit the number of items in the feed.

Then again, just how much content your sidebar has is not something we can determine if your blog is private.

This works great, but I'm finding it difficult to limit their size to make the blog look more professional.

Is their any way to cut off the sidebar (or RSS Widget) so that it ends along with the end of the post. This would prevent a situation where the post has ended, but the RSS feeds just carry on or vice versa.

I realize one can limit the number of items in the feed, but this can only be done on a macro-level and doesn't make it specific to any particular post.

Many Thanks

So I have been working on a text-based adventure game. What IS a text-based game? Basically you 'read' an interactive story where you can actually make decisions that affect how the story progresses.

Now I have finally finished a demo of the game, and I am looking for people willing to play through the story. Criticise where neccesary and overall provide some feedback so I can improve the game!

NB: It is a sci-fi story set in the StarCraft Universe. You do not need to know anything about 'StarCraft' to play the game, but it might be more fun if you do!

The link to the demo: http://starcraftadventures.wordpress.com/terran-storyline/

Thank you for your time! Ah now that I mention time, I believe that reading through the story will take +- 10 minutes of your time!

A designer is a just a designer. They design the look of the website/blog and how it functions. They will provide a finished product in whatever form (php files, zip etc) for the client to do with as they please. Whether they buy hosting on a shared server, buy a dedicated server or host at home on XP with a LAMP setup.

If I were in the OP's position, I would sack the designer. I would then get myself a blog (if that's your intention) at wordpress.com (free!) blog for a few weeks/months, learn the software, spend the time learning about the basics of CSS, domains, Internet terminology hosting and all the other stuff. If after that you still want your own site, you have a couple of options:

1. Buy a domain and the CSS upgrade here at wp.com and customise your already established blog.

2. Get hosting, download the wordpress.org software and install it. There are literally thousands of FREE themes for WordPress out there. Get one of those and use your recently gained CSS knowledge to tweak your theme as you much as you want to your tastes.

Good luck, please post back any questions and we'll endeavour to help.

They should be the ones who should be assisting and explaining you what all those things are and how to set them up. At least, that's what I do with my clients who are not computer/internet savvy.

I'll try to explain this as best as I can. Please, bear with me.

There is a difference between a website and a blog. You'd use a website to promote your business, sell products, etc. A blog is an 'online' diary. You can use your blog to post updates for your customer, etc.

A URL is what you type in the address bar of your browser. The URL looks like this:

http://www.domain.com

A domain name is the 'name' of your website, like in the example above, the domain name is: "domain.com". To register a domain name you have to do it through a domain registrar like Register.com.

Once you have your domain name registered, you need to hire a hosting provider such as hostgator.com or dreamhost.com to host your site. Once you have done this, give the information to your designers so they can take care of the technical part.

When they said 'acquiring hosting through WordPress' they probably meant that you need to use the wordpress.org software for your blog so that they can integrate their design into the software. However, if they meant that you need to host your blog here at wordpress.com, their design will be 'useless' since you cannot install your own templates here because it is a shared environment. If what they actually are designing is not your blog, but your website, then that's different.

They should take care of all these for you. At least, that's my point of view. Setting up a website, can be complicated for a person with little or no knowledge of the field because of the technicalities involved.

HTH.

The software can be installed on just about any web host. Alternatively you can use the hosted service here. From what you say about designers it sounds as though you might not want to be on the WP hosted service but your question is not really clear. Good web developers shopuldn't draw too strict a line between design and the other bits and pieces necessary to get started. Get the designers to set it up or get new designers. :)

Actually wp will (or should) change the filename for you if the file's name matches one already up on the site.

But if you manually delete a file through the uploads manager and then re-upload it with the same name, the old (deleted) file sometimes shows up.

I had this problem with images i use in my blogroll. When i tweaked the images and uploaded the new versions, sometimes the old ones would show up (even after cache-clearing, etc).

Just wanted to clarify :)

Agree on needing to see what is occuring. A link would be helpful. I noticed the *.pdf on your site which has a weird URL but yet it works. Not sure what's occuring with that but I've sent in a feedback to ask staff about the issue.

Oh, and shouting is not recommended around here.

You MUST change the filename if you are uploading it a second time. WP seems to keep a cache of the deleted files, even though you can't see them in your upload manager, and if you use the same filename the old file conflicts with it (don't know/care why, it just does).

Good luck. Oh, and did you mean to yell (all capitals); i'm sure you didn't unless it was out of frustration? ;-)
