		<description>Michael,

It looks like the two pages you&#039;ve mentioned are using two different sidebars maybe? Can you use the same one on the Contact page as you&#039;re using on the homepage? See if that works.</description>

		<description>Yo shayne,

I am working on a wordpress site, and have been looking all over the place for an answer or a solution, so far this looks the closest. So i thought i would ask you the question on how to figure this problem out.

If you go to (http://www.michaelmartinho.com/site) you will see the homepage with the blog on the left hand side and it works fine, but then you go into &quot;contact&quot; you get the page with the blog no longer on the right side. I have looked all over for solutions, maybe you have an answer?

Thanks
-Michael</description>

		<description>Al,

Just make the pages, but you&#039;ll want to use an exclude function to hide the pages from your navigation.

Look in your header.php file (most likely where the code is located) for this line:

&lt;pre lang=&quot;php&quot; line=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
&lt;?php wp_list_pages();?&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;

Then add the exclude function like this:

&lt;pre lang=&quot;php&quot; line=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
&lt;?php wp_list_pages(&#039;exclude=17,38&#039; ); ?&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;

The &quot;17&quot; and &quot;38&quot; would be the page IDs that you want to hide.

Or you could just get a plugin to do it...which you can find &lt;a href=&quot;http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;:</description>

		<description>I have a couple of pages in my blog where I want to include links to additional pages.  Creating the links are easy - and creating the pages are easy - but I do not want the new pages to show up in the Navigation or as secondary navigation.  I just want them residing on the blog as a page that gets linked to from different pages.</description>

		<description>Roy -

You can set the thumbnail sizes at whatever dimension you want. You can also choose the &quot;upload seperate thumbnail&quot; option if you like.

The category font sizes and spacing will be handled in the shop&#039;s CSS file (default, iShop, marketplace.css)

You can adjust how the page is displayed by editing the &quot;product_display_functions.php&quot; file.

The WP Ecommerce Bible is only available for download through the site (www.wpecommercebible.com)</description>

		<description>Hi Shayne,

 I recently hired Net Paradigms to install a webstore on our website, which is located at http://www.propheticdestinyministries.org/webstore/products-page/

When I tried to insert my products, it wants to place them in a &quot;square&quot; rather than the size and proportion that I need. As you know, art work often comes in various sizes such as 8 x12  and not cubes. Also books, etc. In the admin panel, you can change the thumbnail sizes, but it want to do this in cubes. Net Paradigm is looking into this for a week now, and hasn&#039;t come up with a solution yet. How do I insert graphics and change the size that I want to present? In WP pages, you can insert a graphic, and click on it and drag it to the size you like. Is this possible for E- commerce?

Also, how do I change the size of the font for the categories and decrease the spacing between them. If you notice in the left column, they are rather large.

Also, how can I make the layout more efficient? By the time you put in the art work, the print size, the price and P&amp;P, and then &quot;add to cart,&quot; altogether they take up about half the page. Is there a way to rearrange this so that it is much more efficient? In other words, so I can get more on the page?

Are there templates available that I can see that gives me a visual view that I can choose from that might work better?

Last question - can I purchase you book E--commerce bible as a book by mail, or does it have to be downloaded?

Thanks - Roy Roden
