In reply to: How to edit the Blog Title beyond the textIt’s a new blog so although I’m looking at using Purple Magic, I don’t have to. I need to be able to show LC2 as the title with the 2 as a squared symbol and a different colour to the LC. At this stage I’m unfamiliar with .css and .php although I realise I will have to learn elements of this in the near future. For now I’m keen to get the blog up and running and would appreciate any direction.
Thanks in anticipation.

In reply to: Embed a video from disk drive not youtube etcDion, thanks for the info. I had a look at the link above, and right down at the bottom of the page it mentions Kaltura as a one-stop-shop for video on the web. I’ve uploaded their free WP plugin and it works really well. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-video-pack/. There is a 10GB limit before you get into being charged because they host the files on their own servers. I think there is an option for self-hosting but I haven’t explored that as I won’t be uploading that many vids so I don’t anticipate exceeding the limit. Famous last words.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for the time you spent helping me. As a noob to WP these forums are invaluable. I trust that as my knowledge increases I might be able to add to the support provided.

In reply to: Embed a video from disk drive not youtube etcHi again Dion. Unfortunately Viper’s Video Quicktags uses JW’s FLV Media Player under a Non-Commercial Creative Commons licence so I can’t use it for my site as I charge for the online training courses. AVS4YOU now charge for their converter. The free version sticks a watermark in the centre of each video. Sounds like you got it when it was completely free. I wouldn’t mind investing in it but without an upload mechanism to the blog there’s not much point. Will look at other FLV media players.

In reply to: Embed a video from disk drive not youtube etcThe Universe came back to bit me! It works fine when I view the video on my blog on my laptop but it won’t play through any others. I can see the Windows Media Player in the blog Page but nothing happens when I click Play. I right-clicked and looked at the ‘Error Details’ which say it’s either that the player might not support the file type or it’s a codec issue. It’s a .wmv file so it should be ok for Windows Media Player, so I’m assuming it’s a codec issue. I’m not familiar with codec and compression so once again any help would be appreciated.
The basic question is why will a video play on my blog page when accessed from my machine but will not when accessed through any other?

In reply to: Change ‘No Comments’ to something elseCheers for the info Michael. It looks like the Template changes it from ‘No Comments’ to ‘No Comments Yet’ which would be great. Unfortunately as a noob I have no idea where to put the code. Any pointers?

In reply to: [Plugin: Members Only] compatible with 2.8?Guys I’d really appreciate some help as I’m clearly missing something. I want to make the content of my site available to members I give a username and password to. Obviously I don’t want them to have access to the admin area. I’ve downloaded the Members-Only plugin but when I come to configure it the Login Redirect box gives the choice between the Dashboard or the Frontpage. If I set it to Dashboard I’m assuming that anyone will be able to access the admin area of my blog and if I set it to Frontpage I will be sent to the Frontpage and won’t be able to access the admin area.
I may be making this much more complicated than it actually is but I can’t see how I can have access to the admin area to make ongoing changes and give the users access to only the content. It seems to be either one or the other.

In reply to: How to move ‘Register’ from the ‘Meta’ widget?Sorry. I haven’t explained myself very well. What I want to do is make the ‘Register’ link more prominent on the sidebar, i.e. make it a bigger link than the one currently under the Meta banner. Can I make the Register button the same size as the widget titles i.e ‘Recent Posts’, ‘Categories’, ‘Meta’ etc? I’m happy to leave the existing one under ‘Meta’ as well.
