In reply to: How to import users from a CSV fileA CSV file is rather useless in defining a structure for it’s contents. Thus, you couldn’t come up with a single tool that could import ANY and all CSV files.
If you did export this from an existing database, why not in the proper SQL format?

In reply to: Ridding the /blog from my web address.Had you ever installed the blog under the /blog subdirectroy? Presumably, you had run the installation there.
You can change the URI and see what happens, worse comes to worse, you can use phpMyAdmin to go into the database and revert the URI if things don’t work out.

In reply to: Additional information and pitcures in PermalinksThere is a plugin called Related Posts that might do most of this for you.
Check it out here.
I use it on my blog when you are viewing a particular post.

In reply to: Additional information and pitcures in PermalinksThis has nothing to do with permalinks. What you could do is use custom fields to describe a particular post, that is, have “apple” in there. Then in your “single.php” file when you pull up a particular post, you would read the custom field for that post and compare that string to custom fields of other posts and then display them as you see fit.

In reply to: Additional information and pitcures in PermalinksI have to say that I completely don’t understand what you are asking..
Permalinks just provide a Pretty way of looking at an URL to a post. The real URL being <blog.com>/?p=<post id>. Instead of that you get something like <blog.com>/posts/2006/03/15/post-title.
What do you want to accomplish again? I don’t get this additional information and pictures part.

In reply to: Set Initial PageWhat webserver are you running? If Apache, you have to get the DirectoryIndex set properly.
You will find this in the httpd.conf file as:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.htm index.php
If you are running your website on a webhost and they support PHP, then they’ve done a very bad job of setting up your account.

In reply to: installing wordpress on linuxPut it in different directories. Change the “prefix” for each installation to be unique so they can all sit in one database.

In reply to: Caching AddonIf you are running anything prior to 2.0, then check out “WP-Cache”. If you are running the newer version of WP, then caching is already built in.

In reply to: Needed: 2 Hacks for large WP based siteAre you using “wp_list_pages()” to generate the nav menu, if so we can play with that to alter the ordering.
To link to off-WP pages, you would just manually add the link to the menu.
Ensure that you have the ‘current_page_item’ defined in the CSS for both WP and Invision Board, allow things to work as they do in WP, but in Invision Board, manually add that tag to the link.

In reply to: Can this be done using WordPress?The appearance of your front page is very customizable based on the theme you choose to use. You could create your own theme which strips out all the sidebar stuff if you don’t want it.
WordPress can be installed anywhere, it has no requirements as far as locations are concerned.
If you want to continue your method of using the forum software as a commenting system instead of WordPress, you can do that. But I would suggest going the other way.
That is, pipe your posts from WP to the forum as a new topic and allow discussion there.

In reply to: Theme reverts to traditional each nightThat’s very strange indeed. Unless someone else has access to your site and is changing it just to annoy you, it shouldn’t be happening by itself.

In reply to: Adding HTTP:// To Comment URIsThere is no setting for it. You’ll probably have to alter the comments.php file for your theme to check for the “http://” portion in the URI and add it if it’s not there.
