    THANKS!

    I tried to use pretty links but for some reason that didn’t work very well. 🙂 Maybe b/c it was in a subdomain at the time? Who knows. 🙂

    One last question……. you said it would be category/feed/
    I’m still trying to figure out the way WP does urls. Mine shows up as http://www.book-bee.com/?cat=3

    So when you say category, does that mean the actual category name, ie book-bee.com/romance or would book-bee.com/?cat=3 work?

    Sorry for the dumb questions. 🙂

    They’re on the same server.

    The other site is built in php by my dh. Basically as content management system. Now that I know I can get RSS for each category I think I’ll get him to show me how to add an RSS feed to the CMS.

    Thanks again.

    my external site isn’t worpress. Will it still work? I’ll take a look at that page, but that’s a lot to digest. *grin*

    for instance i’d love to post anything in the romance category to the news page at singletitles.com. <– isn’t wordpress. 🙂

    Thanks bunches, though!

    Another question about the voting. The plugin I’m currently using show up on the home page listing. But when you click on an actual story, they don’t show up. So if I modify the “actual story” code with the same code as on the home page, will that work? Thoughts?

    Thanks GamerZ. I’m going for a more social network style voting system but I don’t really want people to have to login register if they don’t want to. At least not right now. I know digg only does “diggs” instead of the star vote, but I tend to prefer star voting. And I’m hoping that’ll set me site apart. 🙂

    Yeah. I use WP-PostRatings. I’m not sure if that’s registered users only. I hope not. 🙂

    The other thing I’m thinking is that in wordpress you can set what “level” a person is when they sign up, so you could set it so that when someone registers they can submit stories. You’ve got categories just like slashdot or digg (heck, there’s even a plugin that lets you have a different “icon” for each category like on slashdot.) You’ve got comments built it. There are just a couple of steps missing that would make it easier for anyone who wants to use wordpress to turn it into a more community based network of news, stories, whatever.

    I’m looking for something similar. Features similar to digg or slashdot. The ability to “rate stories” and add stories. And then for the most popular ones to shop up on the home page. The best I’ve been able to come up with is a rating system and then something that takes the most popular ones and displays them. Then I found something that lets you pick the “home page” of wordpress so I tried setting it to the “Front Page” which displayed the popular stories. It didn’t work quite as planned.
