In reply to: Problem with wp_list_pages – not workingLet me try that … when you say “NOT using widgets” I’m not sure what you mean – is there a way to turn off widgets? Should I do that?
Also, I think I was wrong about the theme-age theory. And switching to Dark Pleasure solves the page order issue, but creates some others. Grrr!

In reply to: Problem with wp_list_pages – not workingThis is what I downloaded:
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/2554/minima-black-for-wordpress-115/
Aside from that one edit to sidebar.php I have not touched any of the theme files. Does the age of the theme matter? I downloaded the minima theme this past September, but it seems to have been written for WP 1.1.5 or 1.1.6 – which as I recall from something read in the codex may have been prior to the page order / number sorting abiltiy.
I’ll check back in a while, and if I happen to figure it out on my own, I’ll post what happened. For now, I think I’m just going to go with the Dark Pleasure 10 theme or one of the others. That solves the functionality problem, and I’ll worry about the aesthetics later. Thanks again.

In reply to: Problem with wp_list_pages – not workingWell, I just tried a different theme – Dark Pleasure – 10 – and it works fine, exactly as it should. So my guess is that it’s something to do with the Minima theme. As I’d still like to use Minima, any thoughts? Thanks once again – I’m learning and doing on the fly, and I appreciate your help.

In reply to: Problem with wp_list_pages – not workingNo, I’m not trying to display by ID number, but by the “Page Order” input box at the bottom of the right column on the Manage / Pages screen. Say the title is “Writing” and I put in the number “1”. The “Writing” page still comes up at the bottom of the sidebar menu. Thanks for responding, I’ve hours and hours trying to get this to work.

In reply to: Copyright for the websiteWhat a copyright does is protect the creator of the work against unlicensed / unauthorized use of what has been created. There can be multiple copyrights within a single presentation. For instance, in a book with illustrations, one copyright notice would identify the author of the text while another copyright statement would identify the artist of the illustrations. The artist obviously can’t claim copyright ownership of the text, just because of a contribution of art, nor can the writer claim ownership of the illustrations – it’s fine for both to co-exist within the same production.
So … speaking as a mere writer and author who’s been dealing with this for 25 years or so, not as a lawyer … I believe you can add your own copyright notice and still leave the designer’s in place. Something like: “All text copyright (circle c) ‘yourname’ 2007”.
What the designer mainly wants is credit (which is different from copyright), and especially for someone else not to claim credit.
