In reply to: Named entities invalidating output in ThunderbirdXML parsers usually do not check the DTD, so named entities are not recognized. When using XML (for example XHTML and RSS) you really should use numerical entities only, or even better, just use the right character in unicode.
The problem with named entities appears also in Opera when you send XHTML with the right mime-type.

In reply to: How do I import my MT entries into WP?Yes, export your entries from MT admin, then place the generated file into your wordpress/wp-admin directory. Then edit import-mt.php to point to your file with MT-posts, and hit wp-admin/import-mt.php…

In reply to: posts on 1 pageThis is supposed to go into CSS3, but not really in use at present. For now I’m afraid you have to use JavaScript to get this effect.

In reply to: photoMatt/wordpress is kissing off i.e. 5.0 ?It all depends on your audience. If most of your visitors are tech savvy, then you can expect them to have modern browsers. If you are making an e-store for Pap’n’mum you’d better support IE5 still…

In reply to: Alternate CSS stylesThe answer to your original question: that is a bug in Firefox, not in WP. Firefox does not keep the alternate stylesheet as persistant. You should use this extension to get the behaviour you want.

In reply to: clickable headerActually, you don’t need to put the image in the html, you can make it work from css, as I have done for example on http://stijlstek.nl/greek2me/
Your html could be something like:
<div id="header">
<h1 title="Back to the homepage">Continuous play</h1>
</div>
Then in your css you do something like:
h1 a {
background: url("header.jpg") no-repeat;
display: block;
text-indent: -7777px;
height: 200px;
width: 500px;

If I can help in any way, drop me a note, and while you’re there, have a look at my site and the blogs I have on my blogroll, most of them are xhtml/css related. There are also some helpful people on the Mozillazine and Sitepoint forums.
