    I have a blog set up at http://bestarticleservice.com

    Now if you go look at it you can see that there is a monkey or ape in the picture under the Author headline. How do I change this picture?

    Either edit the file 'sidebar.php' and change the image filename so it loads your image. Or just replace 'about.jpg' (should be in the images directory) with your own.

    I do appreciate your help. Now I just need to figure out where the images directory is. Damn I probably have to do this via FTP. No problem

    It could be an Author thumbnail. If you have assigned the author of that post a thumbnail, try changing that.

    You would do this by editing users...

    one very simple way to do this would be to create a new pic, name it exactly the same as the current pic, then overwrite the current pic with your new pic in your ftp application.

    Really, it should be as simple as that...

    Ok, now I made my problem worse. Can you take a look at the blog again. http://bestarticleservice.com and you will notice that the RSS subscription button is over the navigation buttons. Not sure how that happened...but how can I fix it.

    not sure. I noticed it after I put in the contact form. But that was just a plug-in. My problem is that I dont have any money to pay someone to fix it. So, I have to figure this out myself. I should have left it alone.....

    In your style.css find #rss

    then change the following css

    position: relative; [from absolute]
    right: 10px; [from 31px]
    top: 5px; [from 40px]

    by the way, the square brackets are what it currently is...

    You have to take backup manually through cpanel (backup option) for your files.

    DON.
