In reply to: automatically turn all urls into links that open externallyA simple plugin should be able to do this for you on the fly. If you can’t find anything like this already posted here, maybe I could write something up very quickly.

In reply to: Fluid Theme, Screen Resolutions, and my Header width?The fluidity of the text and the location of the “boxes” comes from the underlying CSS. That is, you usually use the “float” attribute to allow the browser to appropriately place the content.
This sort of thing doesn’t work with images as they don’t get resized for you dynamically. You can get rid of the bottom scroll bar which is caused by your header if you use the “overflow” feature of CSS.
Short of that, it might be worthwhile to come up with a text/CSS based header that will shrink and grow as needed.

In reply to: wordpress stand alone?Most people run a local version of Apache, MySQL and WP on top it for making theme modifications without affecting their main site.
Additionally, the same people usually also run testblogs on their webhosts to see their work in action before finally deploying it on their main sites.
There are more than enough offline blogging tools, W.Bloggar, ECTO, Zempft, Performance comes to mind that handle all the blogging functionailty.
So what’s the value add in taking a PHP based application stand-alone?

In reply to: No themes!!Check your wp-config.php file and ensure that you have the right mysql hostname in there. It’s usually “localhost”..
You can confirm this by doing “mysql -uroot -p -hlocalhost”, enter your password when it prompts you for it and then see if you can find your database by typing “show databases;”

In reply to: No themes!!In your WP configuration for Blog and WWW URI, you aren’t using “localhost” or anything right? You should be using an IP address or DNS resolved name.

In reply to: new v2 install – import 1.5 data?The best way to bring over your posts is to first install WP v1.5 and import your current posts. Then overwrite the core WP files from the WP 2.0.1 archive, then upgrade this installation using “/wp-admin/upgrade.php”. You should now have your posts in the newer 2.0.1 format.
Now, grab the posts again, but in 2.0.1 format and import it into your real 2.0.1 blog.
PITA? Yes..I know..:)
If you have modified core WP’s functionality, you will have to manually add them back into the new files. You cannot keep the older version of files.

In reply to: Share wp-content between two blogs?If you are willing to try a few things, the first thing I would suggest if you are running on a Linux based webhost is to “symbolic link” one blog’s wp-content to another.
Though, I would only symlink the plugins and themes directory. Other directories under wp-content COULD be blog specific.

In reply to: Eizus ThemeIf you created a complementing footer grapahic like the one in the header, that would “bind” the page well.
In single post mode, the width of the post entry is larger than the header, you should ensure that it doesn’t do that.
When I click on a specific category, it would be nice to have some indication that i’m indeed browsing that catetgory.
That’s about all I could come up with for now. 🙂

In reply to: No RSS feeds@urbanmac: Check to ensure that you have don’t have any extra spaces in the file wp-rss.php. That might be the cause for your problem.
@incursio: Your blog text seems to have a “&” in one post and it wasn’t translated to & for you, so that’s throwing off feed. Try changing the blog text to see if it fixes it.

In reply to: Can’t find myphp privlidgesThe username/password you are using within phpMyAdmin is probably NOT high enough to alter database privleges. If you are trying to do this on a hosted website, then contact your webhost to alter the privileges for you.

In reply to: Lost my usernameWow, that’s pretty bad short term memory. You estabilshed the blog on January 17th, and barely two weeks later you’ve forgotten your login info?
You can go to through the backend using phpMyAdmin and reset the password to a known value.
