In reply to: Tomorrows Laundry – My ThemeIt looks nice. But the text for the posts is so tiny as to be illegible. I had to bump it up to 150% to read it at my normal font size (and I don’t have to do this with 99.9% of sites).
If you’re using a Mac, bear in mind that PCs generally display smaller text.

In reply to: How do I get my API Key?As far as I know, you just sign up for an account at wordpress.com. The instructions are here:
http://akismet.com/personal/Then you get the API key either at the email address you used to sign up, or by logging into your account.
Activate Akismet in your WP install, paste in the API, and you’re done.

In reply to: My WordPress disappeared!Hm. First of all, this is incomplete:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \\"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional/I would use the doctype from one of the other themes to ensure that it will display properly, but the doctype is not even “closed” (has no closing angle bracket). As well, this is an HTML 4.0 doctype, rather than the XHTML doctype used by WordPress.
I’d ensure that your code is right first.

In reply to: Mysterious text inserted when showing pageHm. That added a lot of backslashes to the code, but hopefully you can see that the angle bracket after “storytitle” should not be there.

In reply to: Mysterious text inserted when showing pageI don’t know if this will fix it, but there appears to be an error in your code:
<h3 class=\"storytitle\">\" rel=\"bookmark\"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>Notice the angle bracket after
storytitle\">\"??Try this:
<h3 class=\"storytitle\" rel=\"bookmark\"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: DB error, 403 error – missing upgrade.phpHm. Just for starters, the upgrade.php file has to be run, but it sounds like it’s missing:
The requested URL /wp-admin/upgrade.php was not found on this server.
You’ll need to access that in order to upgrade. Once that’s done, you may also have to regenerate your .htaccess file through the control panel.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: how to convert an xhtml document into a theme?I don’t know if there is a tutorial, but having done this myself, I can say that it can be done, but it’s work.
In essence, you’ll have to copy pieces of your template into the various “pieces” of the theme (for example, header, footer, sidebar), while ensuring that the WordPress codes are in the right places, since those are what pulls the data from the database.
I’d do this:
– set up a WordPress blog
– copy one of the themes that comes with WP
– edit the styles.css file to add your info at the top
– upload it
– log into WP and select that themeand work on that. It’s work, but it’s also kind of fun, and you’ll learn a lot from doing it.

In reply to: STRANGE administration panel issue – **see links**Hmm. The bottom one links to the css file like this:
../wordpress/http://wordonthestreets.tv/wordpress/wp-admin/wp-admin.css?version=2.1That isn’t going to work, as it says that the “http” part of the URL is inside your wordpress directory.
As well, I’m not sure why the “?version=2.1” is at the end of the URL, as I believe that browsers need to see the .css extension as the last part of the file name (that is, something.css).
Fix those issues and it should work fine.
Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Height and width variables automatically added to imagesI very much agree with this — it’s a must for convenience, and for people who don’t “do” code.

In reply to: Very Very WhiteOne thing is that you could give a bit more padding to the text containers that hit the borders, so they don’t actually touch it.

In reply to: HELP with transferring my blog from my server to my computerIt sounds like your site/database are still attempting to contact your computer, so something’s not right.
(By the way, responses to your questions should be posted here. Otherwise, you’re kind of asking for help while suggesting that you won’t return to read responses.)

In reply to: Segolene Royal Unveils Her Programme, dated 2/11/07Correct. You need to contact Royal2007.com if that’s where you duplicate-posted.
This is a support forum for the WordPress software — and, even though a website may be using the WordPress software, that does not mean that WordPress.org has anything to do with it.
