In reply to: Setting Up RSS FeedsPoint your browser to http://<yourdomain.com>/wp-rss2.php and you have your RSS feed right there.
If you have permalinks enabled, then change /wp-rss2.php with /feed.

In reply to: gravatar display code issueFirst, download the Gravatar plugin from here
Install it, and activate it.
Second, edit your comments.php file and within the comments loop place the code you have in your post and you will see the gravatar appear.

In reply to: Permalink issueYou really should use the permalink structure that is suggested on the Permalinks page to start with. Using your scheme is just not enough for WP to determine which post it needs to point to since Apache’s rewrite rules are being used to create these links.
So try the longer: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

In reply to: how to use CG-Related?Did you follow ALL the instructions for CG-Related and add all the necessary code to the variou pages??
It’s just enough to place the plugin into the /wp-content/plugins directory and activate. There is more setup work you have to do to see the buttons that appear on your main page to create relations.

In reply to: Adding New PagesIn the Admin section go to Write->Pages.
Here is where you create pages. Choose post-slugs that are descriptive of the page, such as “archives”, “contact me” and so on. When you create them, WordPress will automatically update your .htaccess file to allow access to them.
In your template for the menu, you would then just reference <yourdoamin.com>/archives or <yourdomain.com>/about and so on.
Visit http://codex.wordpress.org/pages for more details.
And in general http://codex.wordpress.org is the best place to start off in learning the basics of WP.

In reply to: The SPAM that shouldn’t be thereThere was an article about 6 months ago by one of the Blog Spammers about how he figured out how to write code to break captcha graphics. His program essentially took the graphic and broke it down to guess the right words/letter/numbers/whatever. He had close to 95% success rate in breaking it.
It is pretty much at that point that people felt that even captcha’s wouldn’t be enough to stop spammers that were persistent in their efforts.

In reply to: Install problem with PHP not seeing mysqlYou may have PHP, MySQL and Apache all running, but you need the MySql extentions for PHP to get access to the database server.
On a Linux machine (I’m assuming Fedora here, since you say FC3) you will most likely need the “php-mysql” package in addition to just the PHP package.

In reply to: Add Email AddressJust add the necessary HTML code to the sidebar.php file for your theme. Simple. 🙂
Though, you could just as easily download the Contact Form plugin, install it. Then create a page (which will usually automatically show up on the sidebar) called “contact-me” and that will work without you having to show your email address to all the spam bots.

In reply to: Running text with database connectionThe database is used to store everything WP related, from posts, pages, comments, configuration, statistics and more.
How you display the posts is entirely up to you. Currently thre is a Loop that will show the last X (configurable by you) posts starting with the latest on top.
If you want to make the output a “scrolling” version, which is what I think you mean by running, then you can do so with the appropriate JavaScript code or whatever and it should work fine.

In WP the posts are stored with the <!–nextpage–> tag within the content. When you grab a post, WP runs all the filters on it and then displays the post.
To get the “paging” capability, your template usualyl calls the wp_link_pages() or link_pages() function to actually show the numbers. This is not a filter, but a sperate call that is made.
When you look at the RSS feed, it just calls the function to fetch the content which runs the filters and you’re done.
To get the WHOLE post to show up including all pages, a new filter would have to be created that only get executed during RSS fetches and will basically return the entire post.
I think WP needs to cater to this need. I would suggest going into the bug database at http://mosquito.wordpress.org and putting in a bug if one doesn’t already exist.

In reply to: CGI TimeoutYour host most probably runs PHP as a CGI application. This provides the added security you witnessed in that any PHP functionality that goes astray will get killed without taking down the whole host.
So either it could be a misconfigured PHP or your application might be misconfigured.
