In reply to: Editorial Commentary Before Post instead of after.I’ve never heard of such a plugin, which doesn’t mean there isn’t one.
Why couldn’t you type the intro before the rest of the blog post?

In reply to: just want to add comments to my existing blogYes, WordPress is by default set up to allow comments.
You’d have to import your blog into WordPress, however. I’m not sure (if I understand correctly) that you can use WordPress to allow comments on an existing non-WordPress blog.
Great design, by the way. You can also make WordPress take on the look of your existing blog; however, it will take some work.

In reply to: Blog is gone after upgradingHm. I had a problem when upgrading one of our blogs to 2.0.6 today and, at one point, got the blank page thing (both the blog and the admin panel).
It’s a little difficult to recall in what order things happened, but it may have started when I enabled Akismet. I deleted the Akismet plugin folder, messed around a bit and found that the admin panel reappeared. I uploaded the new Akismet files (that come with WP2.0.6) and was able to enable it.
Also, I had a custom theme in the themes folder. I deleted the other two themes, and then copied the new 2.0.6 theme folder *over* the folder containing my custom theme. This seemed to have caused a problem, so I reuploaded the custom theme and (if I recall correctly) the blog pages reappeared.
I’ve never had such trouble with FTP, but it just goes to show that things can happen. Who knew?
By the way, that’s some work you put in there, whooami.

In reply to: 2.0.6 ProblemsHey, stuff happens.
Now that it’s all fine, this would be a good time to do a database backup. 🙂

In reply to: What files to replace a potentially corrupt WP?Yes, they do. 🙂

In reply to: Help! WP crashing IE!I often edit files, including WordPress files, in Dreamweaver.
But with WordPress, because it has its own theme functionality (kind of like templates in pieces), there’s no reason to use a Dreamweaver Template (which has different functionality than the usual concepts of templates).
You could always create a new page from the DW Template, then remove the Template from that page (in DW: Modify > Templates > Detach from Page), and then use bits from that page to create your WordPress theme.

In reply to: Editorial Commentary Before Post instead of after.Which page do you want this on?
If it’s all pages, I guess you could just put it in the header.

In reply to: 2.0.6 ProblemsSorry I couldn’t solve it, userx.

In reply to: Publishing Error in WP 2.0.6That setting for an FTP client is problematic (it sounds better than it is) because file names should be *precisely* what they are … no automated changes!

In reply to: wp e-commerce lite: products page 404Hm. Should that not be:
See the trailing slash? Not sure what’s happening with your product pages, though. I got a 404 on the one you linked to in the navbar.

In reply to: 2.0.6 ProblemsI had no problems with Akismet, after upgrading five-ish blogs today.
I uploaded the Akismet folder that comes with WP 2.0.6 — and note that one of the files has a file date of 12/6/06 whereas the earlier version was dated 10/6/06. This might be the problem?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Can not select database name during installFor something like this, I’d suggest contacting your web host. It sounds like you’ve uploaded WordPress to your web hosting account, but haven’t actually installed it yet.
When speaking of “databases”, the same word (“database”) is used for:
– the database program running on the server (e.g., mysql)
– your own database set up by your web host or you
– the files inside your own databaseSo, if you/your host did not start a database for you, I’d suggest doing that first (and note that the username/password for the database may not be the same as your account username/password).

In reply to: Improved admin panel…?Looks terrific. One thing I’d recommend is, for sites with many categories, the categories box extend to display all categories. I’ve been setting this manually in the CSS, but it’s a bit of a pain.

In reply to: error in wp-admin.css in 2.06 and earlierOkay. That last semicolon is not technically necessary, though.

In reply to: “Done, but with errors on page” in IE7 after 2.0.6 upgradeBeautiful blog.
You should probably validate your code at w3c.org, as you’ve got quite a few coding errors on the page.
