In reply to: What is the advantage of Feed Burner?It’s not saving bandwith that’s for sure as it still has to come to your site to grab the latest posts. You are getting some statistics about your feed access more than just the number of times it’s been accessed.
There are many other options, Yahoo has a service, as does MSN..just search and look around.

In reply to: Problem with RSS linkPlease provide a link to your BLOG. It is likely that you have a “feed://” in front of your RSS URL and the browser is trying to use that to figure out which application should handle the feed.
Go into your theme sidebar.php or whereever the RSS link appears and remove the “feed://” portion..

Additionally, this doesn’t require any code changes to add the image stuff.

In reply to: please help me, i have problem when setup …This is a local installation? What web server? “inetpub\wwwroot” makes me a little scared that it’s IIS..
The error is pretty self-explanatory, WP can’t create the directory specified there.

In reply to: Mysql backupThe advantages of optimizing the DB before downloading are self-evident.
The reasons for downloading the structure and data seperately would be if you wish to create an empty database with a given structure and fill in the data without another blog.
But in praticality wise, it’s easier to just grab the structure and data together.

In reply to: Creating additional page with RSS FeedRSS feed from another website onto a page or from your website? If your own website, that defeats the purpose of the RSS feed in the first place..

In reply to: Personal Status PageVery cool idea, but I envision this being, at best, a plugin and in no way making into core WP functionality.
The only issue would be that you’d have a list of places to poll for information that could change in an instant. Additionally, it also depends on all of these services providing hooks (through API) to ascertain information about you.

In reply to: Inserting PluginIf you want to a “archives” page, you should create an archives.php template file in your theme directory.
Go to /wp-content/themes/<your-theme-name> and create archives.php there. In that file put something like:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Archives
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content" class="widecolumn">
<h2>Archives</h2>
<ul>
<?php srg_clean_archives(); ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Now when you go to the Write Page section, create the Page slug and title as you would and then from the Template drop down box, choose Archives. Save the page and now when you go to <domain.com>/archives, you should have what you need.
Change the archives.php file to suit your needs. I used the defalt Kubrick archives.php as an example here.

In reply to: Comment ConfirmationCalled “Captchas” and they can be easily fooled. Your best bet is to use a combination of Spam Karma 2, Bad Behaviour, Referrer Karma and other spam fighting plugins to ensure that you get “people” comments.

In reply to: WordPress.com ProblemAparantly there is a “Feedback” button when your blog is up and running. But, since you’re having trouble with that, you’ll have to contact the admin. Ric Johnson is a name associated with this thing, so contact him perhaps.
