Thanks for the comments. I’m something of a Jakob Nielsen disciple so I like to keep my designs simple.

Publishing on the Net has some peculiarities. Web surfers are hopelessly impatient and want to know immediately what your thesis is. Instead of a heading or link titled: “An investigation of the merits of WordPress” it should read: “WordPress is the best blogging software on the planet” — in your face, up front and direct.

It’s all about usability. Text should be easily scanned with the human eye (people rarely “read” anything online). Left-justified, 4 to 6 inch wide columns with frequent subheadings generally help. Too many bullets and borders or small font size, on the other hand, are not helpful.

Here’s a site that practices what it preaches: efuse.com

(I have no affiliation with efuse.com. I just like the ideas)

An example of the behavior I’m looking for is this:

http://www.example.com/?feed=rss2&p=18

When you click on this link, you get a feed with the title:

Comments on: My Post Title

Why don’t I get a feed with the title:

My Blog >> My Category

when clicking on:

http://www.example.com/?feed=rss2&cat=9

???

Apparently, the folder needs 777 perms (I had 766).

I was thinking the Upload feature wd insert the file in the database (?) but it looks like it’s just a mechanism to get the file on the server and insert a link into the editor.

I’m not sure this adds much value, especially considering I need 777 perms on a public folder to use it.

Am I missing something?

Hope has two daughters — anger and courage: anger at the way things are and courage to change it.
