Hi there. I have a wordpress blog, and i am currently having problem in it. Is there anyone who has a kind heart here? Please help me. My problem is with regards to the my archives. When i click it in my sidebar, it doesn’t load my archives page. Instead, it just reloads my main page.
Please anyone. Help me.
Looks like a nice collection indeed. Bookmarked for later! Cheers.
Great! Thanks!
I’ve been using WordPress for years (since v2) and have usually bastardised existing themes. While I have created one theme from scratch I shall refer to some of these great links in the future.
