RE: [WSG] problem with 1 and 1 wordpress blog
Hi Dwain, I have FF 2.0.0.3 and your blog looks fine to me. The calendar does break out of the sidebar when you change the font size though. You could use a fixed font size for your calendar to stop that from happening although that it not the most accessible solution it is probably the easiest. As far as incorporating the blog into your existing web site, why not the other way around? Your web site seems to be mainly static html pages that you could add as links into word press. I have not tried this myself but I have seen other members on this mailing list who have used this approach. Styles are in the admin screen - Dashboard - Presentation - Theme Editor. You can make changes and save them there. I would suggest making another copy of your blog to test changes on first, preferably local on your PC using apache friend's xampp (Apache/MySql/Php). I have a solution that can pull your blog into your web site similar to a portal, but I think that may be overkill for what you are trying to do.

Re: [WSG] problem with 1 and 1 wordpress blog
I am using Wordpress to power my entire site (http://clwill.com), static pages, integrated blog, everything, and it is hosted by 1and1. It works wonderfully. Just install WP locally on your LAMP setup, pick a theme that you like, and start fiddling. If you create pages in WP, they are static, posts are part of the blog. If your theme includes a home.php that's the front page. If you change your header.php and or footer.php in your theme, you can change the look of the whole site. To get an idea about how this works, just open up the theme files and poke around. It's really not that complicated, most themes consist of only about a dozen files, all with very logical names (comment.php, sidebar.php, etc.). And PHP is not rocket science, you'll get the hang of it in just a hour or so of poking around. There are a bazillion WP templates out there (check out http://themes.wordpress.net for a few hundred...) from which to draw ideas. Using WP as your CMS system to build your whole site is a really clean, simple solution. I'm a huge fan of the concept. As for a local LAMP setup, I am using XAMPP (as was suggested) and it works great.

As for this: Therefore, you shouldn’t serve sidebar headlines inside high and mighty h2 tags. Based on everything we’ve covered so far, you should serve them inside h3 or h4 tags at the most.

Re: [WSG] markup for headline and tagline
If the content in the main body of the page starts with a H1, why shouldn't the sidebar content start with a H2? And I've seen sites where the sidebar isn't just an aside - both columns present information of equal weighting. The point is, you can't make blanket statements about what the minimum level of heading tag is that can be used in a certain part of a site.

Following the (self aggrandising, and very SEO slanted) logic of the article, you'd have something like H1 - title of post H2 - subheading 1 of post H2 - subheading 2 of post H2 - subheading 3 of post H3 - sidebar heading 1 H3 - sidebar heading 2 ... From a document outline point of view, this would suggest that the H3s are subsections of the last H2...which, of course, they aren't. The sidebar heading can be seen as a sibling to the actual post title. That article tries to portray opinion as absolute dogma...
