If for any reason something happens to stop working on your WordPress install which appears to have happened for no damn reason; deactivate all plugins and reactivate one-by-one, checking the site each time one is activated.
99.999999999999999999% of the time its due to shoddy poetry within a plugin.
The exception to the rule is when you have WordPress installed under Magento, oh the rage.

Today at work I had the amazing job of importing around 50 different artists profiles in to a database - each with about 12 different columns of values in a CSV file.
I could copy & paste it from the document - or create a quick little import script... Yea, I made an import script :]
<?php
$file_handle = fopen("file.csv", "r");
while (!feof($file_handle)) {
$data = fgetcsv($file_handle, 1024);
## PARSE THE VALUES OF EACH CELL
## STARTING AT 0 AND WORK YOUR WAY ALONG
$data[0].'<br />';
$data[1].'<br />';
$data[2].'<br />';
$data[3].'<br />';
## AND SO ON...
}
fclose($file_handle);
?>

I'm currently making a site which requires a rollover on an image that will show the images name and a description in a div which appears on hover.
Heres how I've done it.
<!-- JQUERY FROM GOOGLE AND JS UNDER IT -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".image_slide").hover(
function() { $(this).children('.slide_info').show(); },
function() { $(this).children('.slide_info').hide(); }
);
});
</script>
<!-- HIDE BY DEFAULT WITH CSS :] -->
<style>
.slide_info {
display: none;
}
</style>
<!-- HTML ELEMENTS -->
<div class="image_slide">
Image
<span class="slide_info">Image info & Description</span>
</div>
<div class="image_slide">
Image
<span class="slide_info">Image info & Description</span>
</div>
<div class="image_slide">
Image
<span class="slide_info">Image info & Description</span>
</div>
