is there a way i can add an image in this post of a visual of how I want to add the blue lines?

can't see any 'add image' functions on this forum

3 yes, see the CSS forum guides

1) I appear to have two Home Pages! One is a Post and one is a Page.

I want to build a website not a blog therefore I don't want any "posted by..." message on my home page.

Building it for a client so want it to appear like a website not a blog.

2) Also want full control over it.

Is it easy to re-direct the client's existing domain to my wordpress site (once its ready)? They're currently hosted with 1&1 with email and everything with them too.

Ideally they want to keep everything as it is - apart from the design.

3) Once I upgrade to the 'Pro' Bundle can I play with the CSS to add a couple of blue lines to the theme or is it locked?

Thanks in advance,

Stu

I am trying to link my email address hosted by 1&1. In the WordPress directions it asks for the following info

Sample records
MX 10 MAIL1.EXAMPLE.COM.
MX 20 MAIL2.EXAMPLE.COM.
TXT v=spf1 include:mail.example.com ~all
CNAME autodiscover EXCHANGE.EXAMPLE.COM.
A webmail 1.2.3.4
SRV _xmpp-client._tcp 10 10 5269 example.com.

I have gone into my 1&1 DNS control panel and can see some info like ip address, name server 1 and 2 and name server 1 and 2. I have put this into the WordPress email section but it says its wrong. Can any one guide me on how i find the correct info in my 1&1 account and how i lay it out?

Thanks
Fran

When a domain is registered or altered, there is a process called propagation, where information about the domain name is passed to internet service providers all over the world. This process can take up to 72 hours (though usually much less). During that time, you may also receive a warning message in your browser about "redirect errors". Unfortunately, we have no control over this as it all depends on how often your internet service provider updates their records. Please rest assured that everything is proceeding normally with your domain.
