=Where can I find advise on running a diary with wordpress?=

In the next major release I am going to add a information page to the plugin that will live under settings that will contain advise from my experience of running a diary on wordpress for over 5 years. Longer term I plan to create a website to help.

=Can I customise the splash page?=

Yes, you can add images or any standard html for that matter. Within the diarypress.php file, find line 58. The not logged in message starts on line 63.

wp_die( ('

<!-- we need this so that the xml atom publishing feature will work -->
<link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="'. get_bloginfo('url') .'/xmlrpc.php?rsd" />

<h4><strong>Private Diary</strong></h4>

<p>You must log in to view this diary. If you want to <a href="'. get_bloginfo('url') .'/wp-admin">Click here</a></p>

'), $title, $args );
