Use Aweber to Build a Mailing List
Hi Dave,
Thanks for the info, I checked out Aweber. It’s really cool service, I strongly recommend any one who wants to build a list. They have great tools to build opt-in pages too. I did and put it on my Wp Talian site. Works great! One more way to keep in touch with people who visited your site :)
Here is a detailed video I found on youtube how to create opt-in with Aweber:
Have fun and lots of subscribers! :)

How to Add an Aweber Opt-in Form to WordPress?
Hi Dave
I put Aweber code into a text widget on Talian 05, and it works fine to sign up to mailing list, just when I return to the site it pops up the opt-in box again to sign up. I have to click the X to close it, not a big deal, but might be a little confusing for a visitor and less professional. I was switching settings but it always come back to this. How can I go around it, so when some one signed up, gets returned to the actual page?

Talian Theme Blog Signup
Hi Dave,
Lately I have been receiving complaints from current and new subscribers to my blog , that when they signed up and/or tried to login to comment, they’re getting the following messages: “Sorry, but you have no permissions to change settings.”
Not only current or new subscriber, but when I tried to login through Admin: to see what the problem might be, I got the same message as well, which means, I am unable to access my Admin panel.
Is there something I can do to correct this problem? I am not sure exactly when, but this problem started right after I upgraded to one of the following: Talian6 or WordPress.
Thanks,
Henry

WordPress Socrates Theme Broken
The WordPress site you’ve linked to is running the Socrates WordPress theme not Talian 5 or Stallion 6. According to the Google cache your sites been running the Socrates theme for at least the past 10 days, so assuming you’ve mixed up who you bought your current WordPress theme from.
I’ve also not received any reports on an issue related to comments and an error relating to “Sorry, but you have no permissions to change settings” with Talian 5 or Stallion 6.

Remove WordPress Tags
Hi David,
Am now receiving a few visits via search engine Tags which is obviously good.
In Stallion tags appear at the bottom of each post.
Do we need to see these david or is there a way we can disable the display of tags?
thanks
Nigel
WordPress Tags
Stallion doesn’t currently have an option to turn tags off and because they should be SEO targeted I don’t think I’ll add the option to remove them.
To remove them would take template editing.
To remove tags completely from the bottom of every page type requires editing 8 template files.
The most important 2 are single.php (blog posts) and page.php (static pages).
Look through the files and find:
<?php if (function_exists('is_tag')){ ?><p class="tags"><?php the_tags(); ?></p><?php } ?>And delete it.
Note: if you have search engine optimized your tags (used keywords) you might loose some important SEO on your blog posts and pages. The anchor text of links off a page are important IF the anchor text uses keywords relevant to the content (there’s a disadvantage if your tags aren’t SEO targeted : avoid those automated tagging plugins). For example if you have a page targeting the keywords
Stallion WordPress SEO Theme
And have that post in the following tags:
WordPress Themes, WordPress SEO, SEO Themes
The anchor text of those tags will help with obtaining a search phrase like “Stallion WordPress SEO Theme”.

Add Audio to a WebSite
David,
Is it possible to add audio to the home page and start playing as soon as the page loads? I’m not sure if this is a Stallion question or wordpress question but I figured you know.
Thanks,

Adding Music to a Website = BAD Idea
Adding music that auto plays is a really bad idea and something I’ve never done, so don’t have the code for it (loads of resources on Google).
When I open a site that forces me to listen to music or audio I automatically close it.

Good suggestion and I’ll take your advice!

How to Change WordPress Theme Fonts?
How do you change the Font in the Banner or Header?
Can you center the Banner or Header if so how is this done?
Thank you,
Donald Green
Changing Talian 5 WordPress Theme Fonts
All the font sizes are located in the style.css file.
For example
.header_site_desc h1, .header_site_desc span { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 640px; font-size: 1.2em; color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: normal; }Controls the home page link in the header area, if you change
font-size: 1.2em;
It will change the font size.
Not sure if centering would work particularly well. You could try changing the padding to make it look centered.
Try adding
padding-left: 20px;
Below font-weight: normal; and see what it looks like. Increase/decrease the number to put it where you want it.
