   (Same applies on my “most
   recent post” concerning YARP.Time/Date stamp, if you please. (Or at least date
   we can trust!)

   I don’t think that’s //at all// correct.NB: no time/date
   on this post. That’s just … wrong.

 * I’m sure folk had a reason to go with that as default. It’s always bugged me,
   but hasn’t really had a harsh impact til now, with this “every post is a list”
   situation.
    cheers
 * p.s. “Advanced Excerpt” did what I wanted straight out of the box; _no downside
   seen **yet**_. 🙂

 * Quite right; is just what I meant by “locally”.
    And yes, theme specific. Was
   surprised to see such a change in basics.
 * Thanks for the pointer … spot on.
 * p.s. do you happen to know a theme that would preserve list format in excerpt?(
   I really do think that should be default behavior. I see “Also in the latter 
   case, HTML tags and graphics are stripped from the excerpt’s content.” so this
   is evidently a design decision.)
 * _Addendum_: this article in support hits a lot of major points: “[How to modify the_excerpt](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-modify-the_excerpt-1)“.

 * (Sure wish there was a Reply function here.)
 * I spoke too soon; no joy.
    I still get “WordPress.com Stats needs attention: 
   please enter an API key or disable the plugin.” When I read “let other WP users
   see your stats” I backed away. But that’s just an option. So I went ahead and
   added it to WP.com. Like I should have from the start. 😉

 * Same here.
    Actually I pushed it a bit and hit a wall: the Stats from says “If
   you want to use a different account, please enter the correct API key.” with 
   a link. But the link just points right back to that same page. Work-around: deactivating
   and re-activating reset the key so I could enter the one I wanted.
 * nice work folks!

 * _Finale_: “Update server rewrite rules” entailed replacing wp-content/blogs.php
   with wp-includes/ms-files.php in .htaccess … an error-prone step, but things

 * Sync. I just came back to add “Upgrading to 2.9.2 now”.
    Added 2 nonce lines 
   to config and things are running fine. (Since this is critical, shouldn’t it 
   be mentioned on the Plugin page?)
 * I should have mentionned: running this on WPMU as per [Testing the automatic upgrade to WordPress 3.0](http://wpmututorials.com/how-to/testing-the-automatic-upgrade-to-wordpress-3-0/#comment-8376)
 * Okay: T)ools, Beta, Bleeding edge. Saved.
    T)ools Upgrade: “You are about to 
   install WordPress 2.9.2 in English.” That’s confusing “Download Nightly” points
   to /nightly-builds/wordpress-mu-latest.zip That’s confusing too. “Automatic” 
   installed that file. Isn’t latest MU 2.9.2 (which I had just installed)? That’s
   what footer reads. “Click on Dashboard Icon” … poof, magic.
 * Uh-oh, another nonce to add to config.
    Should I leave the 2 from WPMU? for a
   total of 3?
 * Okay, updated Network w/o obvious problems.
 * Let’s say everything is fine. I’m going to need a walk-through on this:
    “The
   wp-content/blogs.php file is deprecated. Please remove it and update your server
   rewrite rules to use wp-includes/ms-files.php instead.”

 * I just upgraded to 2.9.2 … everything was working fine before.
    I click “Dashboard”
   in Admin and get “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
 * This wasn’t a manual upgrade. This was 1-click. Like I’ve always done.

 * Can someone say when Import was working last?
 * I was hoping WXR would be the magic bullet …
    … my import from LJ “worked”, but
   it turns out that a lot of posts are missing, so I have to re-do from start. (
   I posted on -hackers … got reply from 1 guy but basically no sing of interest.)
 * FWIW some guys are working on GCode: [http://code.google.com/p/google-blog-converters-appengine/](http://code.google.com/p/google-blog-converters-appengine/)
   but only Blogger => WP so far.

 * This was odd.
 * I just changed theme to Hemmed (no Ajax?) and heh no template to apply to pages.
 * Not sure the ins/outs/whys/wherefores but I duplicated pages.php as template.
   php and followed the instructions from [Codex “Pages”](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#What_Template_is_used_to_Display_a_Particular_Page.3F)
   and HeyPresto, the template choice appeared in Manage Pages.

 * I’ll stay it stright out: I’m biased in favor of ExtJS, so I love this theme 
   and the functions it brings. see [http://bentrem.sycks.net/blog/](http://bentrem.sycks.net/blog/)(
   Just my tweets … it’s a bit of a sandbox.)
 * But as [folk are saying in the ExtJS forum thread](http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14902),
   there are some problems with this approach: that it’s heavy and for many readers
   slow-loading is the most immediately obvious.
    I’d love to work on optimizing
   this, but then the fact remains that pages don’t get spidered. (How to work through
   XHR is more than I can handle!)
