 * If I use this plugin will it convert every page and change their appearance? 
   I would like to create a single new page and see how it works before trying it
   with any other pages. I have worked hard learning and setting my current site
   at [http://roundhousetalk.com](http://roundhousetalk.com) and I don’t want to
   create a problem which will require me to reconstruct my site if this isn’t going
   to work for me. It looks exactly like what I want, but I haven’t been too successful
   with backing up my system or home directory and can’t risk starting over.

 * I went ahead and installed Article List Manager. When I try to set up my web 
   service from the Dashboard, and click import, it says “Remote server did not 
   respond with neither JSON or RSS? got content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8.”
   I use InMotion Hosting and my site is [http://roundhousetalk.com](http://roundhousetalk.com)
   as my URL to import. Is there something I need to do with my host provider?

 * Hi there!
 * You can only import RSS-feeds or exportable Arlima lists. If would want to setup
   Arlima on another website and use articles from roundhousetalk.com you could 
   import the RSS feed [http://roundhousetalk.com/feed/](http://roundhousetalk.com/feed/).
 * However, I don’t think that’s what you want to achieve. If I understand you correctly
   you want to try Arlima on your website without messing up the content that is
   already published on the website, right? In that case all you have to do is to
   follow the guide in the first section at ["Other Notes"](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/arlima/other_notes/).
   You will not have to import anything, take a look at [this screencast](http://www.screenr.com/vB48)
   to get an idea about the general workflow when using arlima.
 * Good Luck, let me know if your having any problems

 * Vic, you’ve been pretty dang helpful. First of all, I love the layout Article
   Lists provides and it’s exactly what I want. Problem is that I’m a newbie and
   although I tried to emulate the steps from the screen tutorial, I keep getting
   stuck on the part after enlarging the title. don’t see the except or direct link.
   This may be why: I use “Press This” to capture posts. You can see these posts
   at [http://roundhousetalk.com](http://roundhousetalk.com) under “Current News”
   heading on the sidebar. “Press This” creates a post in WP that is linked on a
   page within my site rather than a direct link to the article. So it’s a 2 step
   process to actually open up the actual article at it’s location or website. Hence,
   I don’t capture the article content. I attempted to create a Blog page that would
   capture each post on one page thinking it might work easier but so it hasn’t.
   You are correct in that I want to use kind of the format I use on my home page
   right now but spruced up to look more elegant rather than amateurish. What do
   you suggest?

 * Okey… If you want to get rid of the second step you should link directly to the
   article on the remote website from Arlima. The basic workflow would look something
   like.
 * 1) You spot an article on a remote website that you want to link to from roundhousetalk.
   com
    2) You go to “Manage Lists” in wp-admin of your own website. 3) Down to 
   the right you will find a container with the label “Teaser template”. There you
   will find a template called “Empty teaser”. Drag the empty teaser to your list.
   4) Add the content you want to be displayed in the article (title, images, text
   etc…) 5) In the same form that you added content for your article you will find
   an input labeled “Link”. Add the URL of the article on the remote site in that
   input field. Now when visitor clicks on the article on your website they will
   be redirected to the remote website immediately.
 * Another tip: If you know that there is a website that you often link to you can
   import the RSS-feed of that website. This enables you to scan the content of 
   the website directly in Arlima and also to create article using their content(
   I will make a screen cast for this when there’s time). Most websites that has
   a news flow will provide an RSS-feed, if you don’t see a link to the feed on 
   the website it might be a good idea to send the owner of the website an e-mail
   and ask for the link to their RSS.
 * Once you have the link to the RSS-feed you go to “Web service” in wp-admin and
   import the list, then go back to “Manage Lists”. Now you will be able to open
   the article list generated from the imported RSS-feed. You can not publish the
   imported list but you will be able to drag articles from the imported list over
   to one of you own published lists. Give it a try with [http://www.nativetimes.com/news?format=feed&type=rss](http://www.nativetimes.com/news?format=feed&type=rss)

 * Starting to figure it out somehow. How do you insert images that 1) are located
   on your computer and or should be uploaded to site; and 2) the following link
   shows my problem: [http://roundhousetalk.com/home/?arlima-preview=1](http://roundhousetalk.com/home/?arlima-preview=1)
 * Also, CTL P in the in the Manage Lists setup shows the primary article with 2
   articles subordinate, and the 2nd 100% article is blank gray area. It looks like
   I’m doing it right but why doesn’t the link above at my site show the setup completely
   verticle without the 2 subordinate articles?

 * I take that back, the 2 subordinate articles show the correct placement w/o images.

 * I’m sorry but we are currently having a bug in the example template that appears
   when uploading images that’s smaller than the defined template width.
 * You should change the code on line 87 in /wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/page-
   arlima.php to:
 *     ```
       if ( !is_wp_error($resized_img) ) {
         $img_url = dirname($attach_url) . '/' . basename($resized_img);
       } else {
         $img_url = $attach_url;
       }
       ```

 * Having trouble finding exactly where line 87 is. I counted down manually and 
   inserted the code and refreshed the page and it’s still the same error. Looks
   like it’s under “$img_class);” part but not sure where to place the code under
   that. Does it matter? Getting close.

 * You should replaced the code on line 87 to the code above.
 * I have created a patched code here [http://pastebin.com/24hYjj0C](http://pastebin.com/24hYjj0C).
   Replace all code in page-arlima.php with the code you can see on that page.

 * Looking way better. Link is [http://roundhouse](http://roundhouse) talk.com/home/
 * Now, there is an empty space on the left side between the top left article and
   the 2nd row left article because the image is so big, and maybe too much excerpt
   on the top right side article. If I resize the image it still stays large.
 * How can I make the link above display when I select “Preview List” on the Manage
   Lists page instead of going to the sample you sent me? If I remove the arlima-
   preview=1 from the page being previewed, then the Manage List “Home” page displays
   what I have created rather than your message in the sample code at [http://roundhousetalk.com/home/?arlima-preview=1](http://roundhousetalk.com/home/?arlima-preview=1)
 * Also, having trouble on my 4th line where the 2 articles aren’t side by side 
   even tho they are subordinate or underneath the large picture.
 * And finally, I seem to be having trouble cut and pasting excepts in the Visual
   or HTML tabs of the article edit. Is there a way to capture excerpts for say 
   50-100 words with a link to the external article site? I appreciate your quick
   response and I am finally starting to see the ease in setting this up. Thanks.

 * Think I may have it. I had to clear cache and reduce the width and the alignment
   of the post. I guess now I just need to know about automatically inserting the
   excerpts. And still the page preview issue about removing everything past the/

 * I see now there is a button in the image box “Disconnect” Is there a reason it
   keeps hanging me up when I now have saved it and try to add another post to the
   list? I have exited and re-opened a few times, cleared my cache and it still 
   seems hung up. It is really looking nice and I want to keep going while it’s 
   in my mind. Thanks.

   include excerpts of 50-100 words;

 * Whether or not Arlima can include excerpts on articles from a remote website 
   depends on how much of the content that is available in the RSS-feed.
 * If you’re talking about the excerpts of your own posts this should happen automatically
   if you drag the post from the search container (below the article form on the
   page “Manage lists”).
