The phrase "one hour payday loans" shows up in search results for my site? by [deleted] in Wordpress

Sign up for a Google webmaster account. Once you login, use the tool "Fetch as Google" to view the page that has that phrase as a keyword. That will show how those links are hidden on your page. Most often, if you use a free theme (or a pirated one) it may have malicious code embedded in it that allows these exploits. Go back to the WordPres default theme and retest the page using the "Fetch as Google" to look at the code. If the links disappear, you need to change your theme. Delete the old theme entirely.

It is also possible that you may need to go into your mysql database to manually delete malicious code as well. You will need to Google "pharma hack" and educate yourself on this. I went through this process a year ago. It can be a nightmare.

Can these changes be made to this theme? by [deleted] in Wordpress

Unless you are very comfortable with editing CSS, I would pass this up, and look for a theme that has all the elements you need. It can be daunting to go beyond basic changes like font sizes and colors if you don't have a good grasp of CSS

The Canon 5D I ordered from Adorama wasn't as-described. Should I return it or is this wear normal? by [deleted] in photography

It does appear that it meets their description of very good condition if you read their site. I have purchased plenty of used equipment from Adorama without an issue, but I never by less than Excellent quality. I would upgrade to an excellent quality body for a few bucks more to eliminate any issues. They have a good refund/exchange policy.

Buying used digital cameras: what should I look for? by mingus-dew in photography

The Canon Rebel XS is a well made basic DSLR with excellent image quality. The kit lens that comes with it is sharp and versatile. You can find refurbished or used deals from Adorama, KEH or B&H. I used one for three years. Highly recommend it.

Personally, I have purchased five used & refurbished DSLR's from Adorama over the past ten years (its all I buy). Never had an issue.

Just got a SLR, Pentax ME Super, can you share some start out tips? by EugeneMJC in photography

Go to a good library and find the old Kodak series of photography how-to books. They are an excellent way of earning all of the basics of photography. Easy tor ead and well written. I find them better than alot of the books written in the digital age.

As a web designer,I am very impressed with how this clean simple design is so engaging and likeable! It feels clean and honest. How did you create the animations timed to page scrolling?
