In reply to: overcoming the template hierarchySo you want to have a separate page like this…
WP Blog : http://www.example.com/
New Page: http://www.example.com/page.phpYou can’t have the page as part of the WordPress admin if that’s what you’re after.

In reply to: Database problemHave you tried the import/export tool in the latest version?
What’s pretty good for copying posts and comments over to a new blog.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connection???Yep, try the wp-config file.
Have you got a hosting control panel? You could try logging into that and checking that your DB details haven’t changed.

In reply to: Outputting list_authors without li markupThanks.. great idea!
Yep, those ads are V annoying.. I was trying to fix typos in my post and they weren’t showing up.
I would style the list if possible, but from what I can tell there’s absolutely no way to achieve what I want to do with CSS alone – it’s a centre aligned inline list seperated by commans – hence the need to change WP’s output.

In reply to: Comments Re: WordPress functions outputing directlyWell said… I agree totally.
I was thinking it would be far better and more flexible to not have any functions output directly, but always return strings or objects.eg. easy outputting for beginners…
<?= $wp->post_title() ?>
or custom outputting for power developers…
<? $title = $wp->post_title(); ?>
<?= $wp->myStringFormatFunction($title); ?>
The list outputting gumph that’s hardcoded all over the place (ie. ‘before’ and ‘after’ parameters for all the list outputs) could be completely centralised into a single flexible list outputting function. eg.
<? $linkList = $wp->get_links_list(); ?>
<?= $wp->listFormat($linkList, "<li>", "</li>"); ?>
Let’s face it, WordPress’ main market in the future will be customised CMS installations, not beginner bloggers (who are more than happy to use something like TypePad and Blogger). It’s important that WP is more flexible to adapt.

In reply to: Changed Email Address and Can’t Access My BlogYou need to change your record in the database. Try asking your web host how you can get access to the mysql database.
