So I need a word press theme that can accommodate objects 800x600px without cutting them off, or as I learned the hard way, not showing them at all (thanks willow). If anyone knows of a theme that will display these large objects that would be helpful. Thanks.

I decided to just go with the fancybox plugin. It allows me to display content that is too large for my page.

Now I need to verify that the site is working with the newest version of flash and firefox. For some reason on my system, the flash doesn't load properly and I thought I had it figured out, but apparently that's not the case. So can anyone just quickly check the site to make sure the flash loads when the image is clicked.

That page isn't loading at all for me.

Ah - I see why.  For some reason it redirects to an IP address and a custom port 6653.  The port is not permitted for my corporate firewall (which I control, but I'm sorry, I'm not going to open an outgoing port for this purpose).

I had to put it on a different port because my ISP blocks port 80, so I just chose a random number.

As for the issue with loading the flash - turns out the problem was the filename actually. Apparently firefox doesn't like the name Adv1, so I just named it AdvOne. It took a long time to figure that out.

I had read his post, but never even saw that line.

Linux711, how could port 80 possibly be blocked? That's the default port for most web traffic - either 80 or 8080.

it's probably blocking him from hosting from home in some fashion.

Quite.  In which case, attempting to host from home is going to be a real PITA.

Well. It's working. I've had three people try it. It works because I am using a different port.

One reason why I am hosting myself instead of paying for a hosting company is because I don't have to pay anything (except for the domain). I don't have to pay for power either because my college does that lol.

The PITA that I refer to is the fact that most people behind a correctly-configured firewall will be unable to browse to your website, since it is on a non-standard TCP port.
