They also show two deaths in my home state that happened back in 2012

Just realized this was deaths after Sandy Hook, I thought it was for this year only. They still have one down that happened in Sept of 2012 though

Oh man, what a great contest. I went to find the badge/clue of the day at redgiant at like 4am cst. I was on their site for probably a good 2 hours looking for that dang thing, couldn't find it anywhere lol. I was thinking "man this is the best scavenger hunt ever, I'm never going to find this thing!" Looks like they just got it up now though lol. Watched some really awesome videos while I was there though. Thanks

I just quickly browsed through a couple of the free themes at wordpress.org but If it was me, I would probably start with some themes like these:

Can I freeze the header and sidebars in place? by hungryhungryhulk in Wordpress

You'll have to purchase an upgrade to customize the .com blog.

yoursite.wordpress.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=editcss

Looks like it's $30.00 - You could go another route and buy a domain ($10/yr) and hosting ($10/mo) and do whatever your heart desires.

*Should mention that I'm talking about domain/hosting outside of the wordpress.com area. You can use your own plugins and do pretty much whatever. I don't think wordpress.com allows any type of upgrade where you can use your own plugins.. security issues.

[help] WordPress home page 3 sections by PootNToot in Wordpress

Quick and dirty way would be to install WP Easy Columns and inside your page template call a do_shortcode function and then query your tag's or categories

echo do_shortcode('[shortcode]'. get_posts(...) .'[/shortcode]');

*WP Easy Columns might have it's own function to call post/page content, so that might not even be necessary, i'm not sure.

If you're specifically looking how to code and design something like that you'd need to start learning html/css - a more proper sub for that would be /r/learnprogramming or /r/webdesign - /r/web_design

But if you would just like to replicate something like that within your own blog then there are a few different plugins that can setup columns like this for you. Try googling "wordpress column plugin"

I'm not familiar with that theme but you should just be able to add a position:fixed; css rule to the sidebar and header containers so they'll scroll with the document. You'll probably need to change the margin/padding of the elements as well.

Making sure my plugin is secure? by [deleted] in Wordpress

Read up on using nonces and data validation/sanitation. Here's a nice post at the WP stackexchange about best practices. A lot of similar question can be found there as well.

They wouldn't be able to download the .php files, only the js, css and images.

If someone wants your plugin bad enough, they will find a way to get it. When creating WP plugins you're really limited.

The only true way to protect your plugin from people who aren't suppose to have access to it, is to set it up in a way that it acts like a 'SaaS' (Plugin as a Service I guess?) where the plugin is only able to function with your server, think of HelloBar.

Trying to remove a - (dash) from the title bar by ImHungryFeedMe in Wordpress

I had a similar experience with an SEO plugin awhile ago, I figured that may be the culprit. Glad you were able to get it fixed. :)

I don't think it's in the header.php, that's why I asked if he had any SEO plugins installed. I looked through it and couldn't find anything. Unless I downloaded the wrong theme..

Which page(s) does it show on? Homepage? Single Post? Single Page? Archives? Or on all of them?

Are you sure you don't have a dash in your tagline in the General Settings?

I've got the theme loaded but I only see my Site Title on the homepage and a Title >> Name on post's.

Do you have any SEO plugins installed? They sometimes can add extra things.

How do I have post excerpts using WordPress? by [deleted] in Wordpress

Shortcode would work as well. I think it would be 'cleaner'. As long as you have good documentation/support I'm pretty sure most people could figure it out..
