In reply to: Authors email address in postsactually, that’s the authors name as a link to his other posts, but this:
<?php the_author_email() ?>
returns the authors email address, so i would use something like:
posted by <?php the_author_posts_link() ?> who can be contacted at <?php the_author_email() ?>

In reply to: WordPress or JoomlaForget about joomla, it’s not that it’s not a good product or community, it’s just not going to do what you need it to.
check out http://www.xoops.org that’s the right cms for what you’re looking to do, there are modules available to provide all of the functions you’re looking for, including a port of wordpress 2.xx as a module for the blogging portion.

In reply to: moved to a new server, new error!I would do a database backup of your settings, backup your theme files etc., backup anything you made changes to, then clean out the server directory where WP is installed, drop (delete) the DB. After that, create a fresh DB, and do a clean new install of the latest version of WP, then import your old posts, data, etc, and update your theme, and so on.
I’ve run into similar issues when moving sites around, etc, and have found that a fresh install always cures all problems. So, now I just start out that way, rather than trying to get the “old” site files running on a different server.

In reply to: Moveable Type Import – One Off – Tough one.OK, I signed up for a MT/TP account, created a small blog and exported a file so that I now have (and have documented) the file format requred to import from MT/TP to wordpress.
I also have created a set of perl scripts for cleaning up and extracting from html files created with the MT/TP “publish site” function, then extracting the data needed and writing it to a properly formatted “import.txt” file for wordpress imports.
When I have a minute or two, I’ll update the codex which is out of date, and really only relevant to WP 1.5 not 2.x.
Basic principal here is that if you had a problem with export from MT/TP, it’s easy to grab the site (either with a perl script) or a ‘site grabber’ type program which I did. I ended up with over 11,400 html files (one for each “post”, each file also includes the comments for that post). These have now been sliced/diced and imported into a working wordpress site.

In reply to: Need help with XHTML compliancethe site seems to be rendering fine, in both IE and firefox, so I wouldn’t get too worried about that particular issue, you might consider using the “pretty” permalinks, that would change the final output and I’ve not had any problems getting that to validate.

In reply to: Hosting and Adsense theme for links.comnot sure why you’re asking that here, are you planning on useing wordpress ?
As far as hosting, personally, I can reccommend CI Host (www.cihost.com) I have had a number of dedicated and co-located servers with them for around 6 years, and the 24/7 support is outstanding, plus they run one of the most reliable and speedy networks in the country. If you do choose to sign up there, if you use (hradil.us) as you’re “promo” code they’ll give you some kind of discount, plus they run many specials like 2 dedicated servers for the price of 1, etc.
For templates, whether you’re using wordpress or not, I suggest taking a look at http://www.oswd.org for an xhtml/css valid template to design your site around.

In reply to: Changing permalink structure leads to Error 500.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Can I make my site appear to have multiple blogs?I’ve done what you’re trying to do, unfortunately, it turned out easier to set the site up like this:
root — home page – link to topic one
= link to topic two
= link to topic three/topic1
wp-install
/topic2
wp-install
/topic3
wp-installall use the same db, with different table prefixes.
turned out to just be easier to run/manage, etc when I started to want different things to happen in each area.
