 * Good advice, DJAllyn, but I’ve got <?php wp_footer(); ?> in there just before
   the </body> tag.
 * Incidentally, I’ve since installed a 2.8.3 version, just to see, and stats are
   still not working. So you’re onto something with it not being WP 2.8.4.

 * I’m having a similar problem. I didn’t use auto-update, though, and I haven’t
   got the 500 error.
 * Also, when I check my stats at WordPress.com, they report no hits since the upgrade.(
   The server logs report just as many as usual.)

 * Thanks very much everyone. After much review, I decided to go with my original
   option 2 (expanding the loop). I liked the idea of going with static content,
   but for two things: first, not everyone who will be updating this site is HTML-
   savvy (the two of us running it right now are fine, but we’re hoping for some
   guest posters somedayâ€¦), and, second, I want to allow for drastic reskins in
   the future, and database-driven content seems like the best way to do so.
 * Here’s the site:
 * [http://www.oneblogtwoblog.com/](http://www.oneblogtwoblog.com/)
 * By way of context, some of the things that are different for each post are the
   motto at the top (currently “Bringing new lifeâ€¦”), the header photo, the volume
   and issue information, and the color that you see throughout (the brown one on
   borders, buttons, links, etc.).
 * Thanks again.

 * I’m interesting in something related to this, I think. I basically want my index
   page to be allowed to use some of the logic that you can use on single.php pages.
 * Put differently, my index page will always show exactly one post, and I want 
   to be able to use single_post_title() and other similar features outside The 
   Loop on that page.
 * I have information unique to individual posts scattered throughout the page (
   per-post stylesheets, per-post banner images, etc.) and I’m trying to figure 
   out how to use some combination of custom fields and single-post queries to show
   it all.
 * I guess worst case I could just expand the loop to begin before my `<title>` 
   tag and end after the last per-post element I have…is there a better way?

 * Anybody have any idea why this might be happening? Or even where I might look
   to fix it? Where in the WP code does it test (or should it be testing) for that“&
   c=1”?
    Thanks, Devan

 * Not having any categories on my own site, I’m not really used to thinking about
   them…so I missed the VERY obvious solution here, which is just to use the Edit
   Timestamp feature to get all the posts to appear in the right order (having limited
   the number of posts on the main page to six, or one for each category).

 * David,
    Can’t thank you enough. Just had to add an echo ‘$totalwords words’ line
   at the very of the second function. Best, Devan

 * Hey,
    Yeah, that’s what I think I’ll have to do (unless that guru you mentioned
   speaks up)… I had the print stylesheet ready to go anyway, and I already call
   my article views to a separate PHP file (article.php, as it happens), which I
   could very easily duplicate and modify as needed. It’s not as neat a solution
   as detecting the media type in PHP (which I’d love to do), but it’ll work. Thanks
   for your help, Devan

 * Hey,
    That sounds like it’s what Matt meant to me, and if it isn’t, well, that’s
   a question I want the answer to. For posts where I’ve used nextpage, is there
   any way to call all the pages at once? See, I’ll have some longer posts (the 
   one I’m working on now will be 3500 words, give or take), and for obvious reasons
   I have to break them up using nextpage. On the other hand, much of my audience(
   should one exist) will not want to read 3500 words on the Web, no matter how 
   it’s broken up. So I’ve got a print stylesheet all ready, but the way I break
   up my pages for posting is dictated by logic, not by layout. In other words, 
   I break my content up using nextpage based on the flow of the article, not how
   many pages a section will turn out to be in hard copy. Any advice would be very
   helpful. I’m also trying to get southerngal’s [WordCount hack](http://wordpress.org/support/index.php?action=vthread&forum=10&topic=874&page=-1)
   to apply to the entire content of the post, instead of just the teaser that appears
   on the homepage (which is how my blog is set up, anyway). Thanks, Devan

   php I haven’t a clue where to start (as I don’t really know PHP)… Any suggestions?

 * Yeah… What I get when I use it on my main blog page is the total number of words
   appearing on just that page.
    So, for a 100-word post with 25 words before <!–
   more–>, I get a count of 25 words on my main blog page and either 75 or 100 on
   my single post page (depending on whether I’ve also used <!–noteaser–>). That
   make any sense? Thanks Devan
