Hey everyone, I've changed the theme of wallstreetchalkboard.com. I am now using atahualpa instead of twenty ten. As for the sitemap errors, they're still occuring. I might switch off of godaddy hosting. Can anyone reccomend a good host? Let me know what you guys think about the new looks of The Wall Street Chalkboard ( I think it looks much more professional).

Thanks again,

Jeff

I have to say I think I may have liked the old look better – but maybe that's just me.

Hello Jeff!

 

It is clean looking, but there is not a lot of room for your content. Your content looks a little squished!

It looks great to me, but the trick with Atahulapa is that not everybody has a widescreen monitor like us and all the different browsers may show the layout differently as well, so the content may look squished to others (and if you ever have a bunch of tabs up top, they may become 2 rows for smaller screens).  I've personally made my sidebars 180 wide using the Atahualpa Theme Options to leave as much room for the middle section as possible.

But as I said, it looks great to me!!!

Oh, and I use HostGator now and have been VERY happy.  NEVER use HostMonster – they truly stunk for me.  My site crashed at least once or twice a week for hours…

I've been using HostGator and they are awesome. No down time at all. If you decide to switch you can use the code JohnChowRocks and get your first month for only a penny. But it is 9.95 after that for the mid size plan. They also have the code SPRING and that is 20% off I think. (That's an affiliate link btw.)

I think I liked the old look as well. Nothing wrong with the new look, but the ads on the front page looks a little spammy (it might be just me though). Can you make the ads show up when people are actually on the post and remove them from the front page? If you are not making money from front page ads that is. If that is your main money maker, can't argue against it.

Thanks for the advice. Do you any tips on how i can move the ads to only the specific pages, not the homepage.

I am not sure if your theme has something specific for excluding homepage, but I recommend "whydowork" adsense plugin. That gives you a LOT of control, exclude pages, position your ad at certain places, include ads in the posts that are more than "X" day old or rotate adsense, YPN or CPM ads… very useful… I think "Who Sees Ads" or "Adsense Now" plugins does similar things, but I like Why do work. Personal preference…

I just tried to check it out, but wasn't able to load your site due to being restricted on the server I'm on. It might just be because I'm up on a university campus at the moment, but I was able to load BIFS and Wealth Informatics just now.

yeah sorry about that. I did the unthinkable, and deleted the whole wordpress account on my godaddy hosting. I didn't know that this would delete every single post I ever wrote, but it fixed the sitemap errors so its no big deal. It will probably cripple my search engine visitors for the time being, but my site is relatively new, so I have time. Its working now and hopefully from here on out it will be smooth sailing. I'll continue to make visual changes b/c it's still a little rough.

Enjoy

Jeff, you don't have to lose all your posts.  If you see this soon, go to Google and search for your domain, then find the cached pages.

 

I already went through and found a few posts that I downloaded as HTML.  I'd be happy to email it to you, if you could send me your email.

Ah, the deleted blog.  The big fear of most bloggers!  I am afraid I can' help you with your Wordpress issues as I don't use it, at elast not yet.

 

However, here is a helpful tip for anyone who uses blogger – like me.  I live in fear of losing my blog, either through my own actions or by being picked on by the big G.  Luckily, blogger allows you to 'export' your blog.  Then, if you wish, you can reload it elsewhere.  I export mine about once a week.  That way, if something bad should happen, I have a back-up of the whole thing.  If you use blogger and you aren't doing this, start!

Not a big deal, I went ahead and did it this morning fearing that Google may see a new site index and dropped the cached pages.  As someone who screws up code on a near daily basis, I've become acquainted with the process of using the Google cache to restore old code/content. There may be a couple duplicates, as I tried to grab the month pages when possible to get the most articles in one go.

 

The only problem is that there isn't any content from February since, as you said, Google wasn't indexing it for some reason.  Hope you can get it all sorted out.

I just checked your page again today and it looks funny to me. The center content area is super wide and there were code errors on the widgets. I use Chrome on Windows 7.

haha, yeah I've been playing with it, but its back to normal now. Does anyone know how to get the container to be a certain color, without changing the body color. I was able to do this for my other theme, but I cant figure it out for Atahualpa.
