You need a leading slash:

Redirect 301 /default.asp?Display=1 http://www.DomainName.com/blog/2008/01/preparing-for-your-first-child/

It sounds like you have not created a .htaccess file.

When you’re logged in to the admin area, is “Blog Title” blank under Settings > General?

If not, then look at the header.php template file for your theme. The line starting with <title> should look basically like this:

<title><?php wp_title('&laquo;', true, 'right'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

(the wp_title() part is what might be missing)

There are no binary libraries in WordPress. wp_tag_cloud is defined in wp-includes/category-template.php.

Do you have any other noticeable tag problems—can you see them in the tags menu, and do they show a post count? Are you using any plugins that could be altering the output of wp_tag_cloud()?

Possibly archive.php

I think I would use the check_password filter, which is used in the wp_check_password() function right after a password has been checked and is passed the user’s ID as well as whether the password check succeeded. Look for it in wp-includes/pluggable.php

What you describe is basically how WordPress works: admins or authors enter in data (blog posts), it gets stored in a database, and visitors can use the search feature to search it. You can also also assign an indefinite number of custom fields to each post (they’re actually even called “Custom Fields” and located below the post composition textarea).

So you’re in luck!

That’s because on the category pages it’s showing the excerpts of the posts, not the full text.

You can probably change this by editing you theme’s category.php template file and changing the_content() to the_excerpt().
