    No solutions to this problem? =/

    Nice work, although I’ve got a few suggestions design-wise.
    That header is (almost) great. It’s a wonderful tall, bold statement. I’m assuming it’s Impact with negative word spacing. However, Impact isn’t quite working out for you as you can see between the G and the E. If I can find another font that works I’ll be sure to let you know… I guess little tiny things like that (1px red lines) bug me. But that’s me :p
    To me, I feel as though the rest of the site could sure go for some overall typogrpahy makeovers. You’ve got a wonderful, bold, sans-serif title. Sans-serif italics on the right. Serif mixed with sans-serif on the left. Personally, I’d just make it all go with that bold-sans-serif look. I’d get of most of the itallics,
    Also that blue link color should probably change. May I suggest red? If you’re going for it – make red count. If Done correctly red can be my favorite color for basing a design.
    As for getting the excerpts… I’d be glad to tell you how, but it’ll take a day or two before I get the time. Basically what you need to do is use PHP to see if you’ve got any querystring (?p=5, ?cat=2, ?m=200408, etc) and if you don’t, just show this version of the loop, otherwise do this. You should also move that recent thing out of the loop so it doesn’t reepeat with every excerpt.
    Great work, glad to see more people actually putting efforts into blogs. A year ago I was bitter towards blogs because of those eleven posts a day “My mom sucks” blogs. But now with the birth of blogs that show actual effort, I think this community is going somewhere.

    Perhaps Ben, but I consider Garamond, Helvetica, Lucida, Tahoma to be my top list of fonts to use on the web!! That presents a serious problem that mis-renders pages across multiple sites I visit.

    Root>> I did notice in Linux it’s qute weird. Mostly due to the fact that there’s no Garamond/Georgia? I haven’t dealt with Linux that much… just recently got enough HD space to afford a dual boot 🙂 If I get some extra time I’ll find some substitute fonts to add in. But then again, most sites look weird (due to fonts) in Linux.
    Thanks for the comments guys. If you find any problems or have any suggestions I’m all ears 🙂

    Why not work on 1.3 right now? It’s pretty stable IMO, haven’t had but a few really small quirks.

    Go into PHPMyAdmin and run a query like this:
    UPDATE wp_users SET user_pass = MD5('newpassword') WHERE user_login = 'admin'
    Assuming wp_ is your prefix…

    I would reccomend to scrap the entire index.php and start over using only the php functions. It makes life easy. Basically, make your design then wrastle with WP until you make it work. Spend a few hours with the program looking at the code and how it works. There are a few loops you need to be aware of, and a few different ways functions act, but overall it’s pretty simple.
    Also if you don’t know how CSS is structure, I highly reccomend you check it out – I wouldn’t say anyone has a grasp on web design unless they have a firm grasp for CSS.
