Well, you could use attachments:

I don’t think WordPress attachments support video, but maybe you could work video in there using custom fields.

In reply to: Noob question: Chance % of being used per templateAre you using a plugin? I’ve never heard of this option before. Well, I guess you set the percentages at whatever you think is best. Which template should appear most of the time? Which should appear less?

In reply to: Is WordPress right for me?Well, since you have a decent following in the newspaper, you could start a blog. If you drive enough traffic to it, you could make money with Google Adsense and maybe even a little affiliate marketing.

In reply to: Newbie to wp and php – Comment form where is it?No problem! You can always restore the code you removed from the wp-includes file by re-downloading WordPress and then uploading a new copy of that file to the server, overwriting the one you modified.
Take care and good luck with your site!

In reply to: Uninstalling a theme updateDo you have a copy of the old version somewhere on your computer? If you don’t, check the theme’s homepage, perhaps the author has made some of the older versions available for download. Then, once you get a copy of the older version, just re-upload it to your WordPress directory (overwriting the new version).

In reply to: need some advice about building a type of membership site@cafespin – Oh Ok, I didn’t know that. It’s good to know! 🙂
@ovidiu – Ah, I see. Yeah, that does sound complicated and I’m not sure how it can be done with the standard WP installation. But it is possible with multisite to just create a user name and not a website. You know how on WordPress.com it asks you if you want a site or just a username? You could take that route…in this case, the brokers would technically have a site but you could prevent them from doing everything except creating members.
Also, what exactly will the brokers do on your site? What will the clients do?

In reply to: Text values for Custom Fields – What are the benefits?Yeah, it’s really powerful stuff that I want to explore some more. 🙂
I also forgot to mention custom taxonomies as well, they go with custom post types: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/wordpress/introducing-wordpress-3-custom-taxonomies/

In reply to: Photo Lounge 1.0 Theme – Drop Down Menu IssueCould you ask the creators of the theme? Do they have a support forum somewhere? Seems like this issue should’ve come up before and they might have some ideas on how to fix it.

In reply to: FluidBlue "about" and sidebar questionsUnfortunately you can’t delete those, they are already built into that widget.
However here’s a plugin you might like to try that adds a login to your sidebar:
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: FluidBlue "about" and sidebar questionsYes, that is what’s supposed to happen in the sidebar. If there are no widgets in a sidebar, some themes will show hard-coded widgets by default (in that case it was CATEGORIES and META).
So you can just add the categories and meta widget back. You’ll find them in the list of available widgets, so just drag each one to whichever sidebar you want to place them under.
As for changing the title, apparently I missed that you have to first create a link category in that links manager I told you about. The title of that category will be the title that shows up in the widget (just set the Links widget to show links from that category).

In reply to: Styling content types differently on main page?Oh, then you can use conditionals that test posts by type. For example, inside your loop, you could test for the post type first:
if( get_post_type() == 'quotes' ) { /* your quote-specific styles here */ } elseif ( get_post_type() == 'reviews' ) { /* your reviews-specific styles here */ } else { /* your standard post style here */ }etc. You can use conditionals throughout your loop.

In reply to: Photo Lounge 1.0 Theme – Drop Down Menu IssueI tried it in Safari and didn’t see the drop-downs. Loaded it in Chrome and the drop-downs DO show up.
It may be a z-index issue…try temporarily hiding/disabling the Flash banner and see if your drop-downs show up.
If so, then you need to put z-index: 9999 or something on your menu (in the CSS) so that’s always on top.

In reply to: Text values for Custom Fields – What are the benefits?Look into WordPress 3.0 Custom Post Types. I think they would suit your purpose well:
