How do I go about changing the My Site and My Profile text on everyone's My Site within SharePoint 2007?
I can't seem to find anywhere where these are set in any of the master pages.
12\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates\SPSPERS\default.aspx is the page where you will be able to change it. But it is not recommanded to touch this file for editing. One of the best recommaned approach to achive what you want is defined here
To solve this problem rather than create my own My Site Host as was suggested on another forum I used jQuery to find the tabs and change their name on the fly. Not the greatest fix but it works flawlessly

So I want to add a radio from another site, so that people can play it on my site. How can I do that?
I really don't know what to do and I don't even know how to search. I have tried to search but couldn't find anything
Try an iframe tag to copy the "player" onto your website
Tbh we need more information, preferably a example of what you're trying to copy will be the best.
Edit:
<iframe src="http://graaz.tv/wp-content/plugins/shoutcast-icecast-html5-radio-player/html5/html5icecast-350.php?id=10&rand=2"></iframe>
That is it according to your link.
You can adjust the size refer to this link
New to Orchard in that I just started to play around with it in the past few days. My question is about customising a theme (in this instance the Bootstrap one that can be installed from the gallery)
I tried to have a look and see if there was a non-source code way of doing it but was unable to find this way of doing it so I went spelunking through the theme folder and edited the Layout.cshtml file myself. Is this 'wrong' or is there another 'supported' way of doing it?
What I specifically wanted to do was to have the logo to the left and the menu to the right (see here for the OOB behaviour) and this was the way that I achieved it.
I'm sure if there are any updates to this theme then the customisations will be overwritten hence the question about a supported way to achieve this.
What you may want to do is look up Derived themes, you should create a new theme based off the theme you're modifying, then you can just modify the parts you want, and if the original theme needs updates or w/e you can update it without overwritting all your changes. I'm pretty sure this is the way you should be doing it.
This page should describe how that is done

This is how themes are customized.
After much online research and getting close to what I am looking for by hacking it together (ie. modifying templates and other files, exactly what every expert out there appears to advise against in terms of SharePoint customization) I have decided to go ahead and post my issue here to see if anybody has ever had any experience with this.
In essence, I start off with a plain My Sites host. I would like to keep the My Profile and My Content pages, and add a bunch of new content of top on that. For us, simplicity is of utmost importance and so when I created a new Web Part Page and noticed that it added an additional ribbon under the navigation menu, I decided that it had to go. This is what it looks like out of the box:
With ribbon
Notice that at this point I have already made a few modifications, such as removing the My Site link that by default appears all the way to the left of the other options. This sadly was accomplished in a very brute-force way.
Now, here is the ribbon-free navigation bar, which is just what I want to be able to design without making system changes that I will regret in the future (and that may be easily overwritten by a CU or hotfix)
Without ribbon
So I guess I should make this clear, I don't want the navigation gone, just customized (ie. no My Site string to the left of my options, no Site Actions drop-down for read-only users) and the Browse/Page ribbon that gets added by default everytime you create a new page, well that one just needs to be gone completely, as shown in the second screenshot.
I have read all about hiding ribbons (which just hides the whole thing, including navigation), customizing ribbons (no success in accomplishing this type of basic navigation after trying them out) and simply don't know what to do anymore.
Maybe I am just taking the wrong approach by modifying something instead of just creating it from scratch, at the end of the day it is nothing but a static navigation bar common to all the pages with the special current user drop-down all the way to the right, then if a user has write permissions, she would also get the Site Actions drop-down under Home, that's it.
Hopefully an answer to this question will help others as well who are looking to simplify their SharePoint My Sites host a bit, as out of the box the number of web components that users are presented with might be just a little too overwhelming for your everyday employee, at least in the industry that we operate in.
Anyway, thank you kindly in advance, I look forward to your replies. Do let me know if there is something that is not entirely clear from my explanation :)
If you take away user's Create Personal Site permission (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262500.aspx) in your User Profile, the "My Site" link will go away.
Hello I use dreamweaver cs5 on my website designer it is very good.
But one thing I wanted to kow was how do i create a counter that counts all the different computer id that look at the page.
I have seen loads of ones you can embed but all of them have links to other sites.
If anyone could help it would be ver appreiated
A quick google search shows that there is many different options out there. Try searching for "hitcounters". The one that stands out to me is: http://www.e-zeeinternet.com/. That one shows a visible image showing the number of hits. If you want to have that is not visable or shows more info try http://www.google.com/analytics/. You will just need to fill out some information and then embed the code into the page (at the location you want). They are simple to setup
I'm using a standard link list web part. What I want to achieve is before my users click on the link a pop-up javascript warning box will display, stating that they are leaving the domain. In regular anchor tag I would preceed the URL with javascript:ShowWarning('http://www.youtube.com');.
I've search the AllLinks table in the database but did not find the links was looking for.
Where or how are these stored?
Thanks,
Risho
Firstly, editing the SharePoint database directly is a really bad idea. You shouldn't do it unless you really, really know what you are doing, and even then you will probably break the system.
Secondly, any change made in the data will be what shows up in the editor, and I don't think the editor supports links that don't start with "http://".
A better approach is to use jquery to add the popup behaviour to the links when the page is loaded.
