    Wordpress permalinks

    IIS can deal with the permalinks without using the index.php/blah format. There needs to be a web.config file in the root directory where your visitors view your WP pages, so if it's yourdomain.com/ then in publichtml root or yourdomain.com/blog/ then in blog/ Here is what the contents of...

    Browser compatibility for a website

    You should not waste time hacking your site to work in IE6. That browser is over a decade old and not supported by Microsoft. The trend is to now serve a warning on your website if viewed using IE6 advising the user to upgrade immediately. You'd be doing that 7% a favour. The only...

    New website help

    Your friend did a great job on design but unfortunately as you've discovered photoshop slices don't work as a web site. You will have to pay someone to convert it properly from photoshop to HTML, CSS and real content.

    Wordpress creates both a .htaccess for Linux and a web.config file for Windows hosted sites. I use Wordpress on both. You don't need FTP access. To change to friendly URLs you need to go to Settings > Permalinks and choose an option. I use the Custom Structure option with /%postname%/ as the...
