In reply to: anyone know of a good wysiwyg plugin for wordpress?I know it might not be the perfect answer, but wp-blogger is not a bad alternative. Granted, its a 3rd party interface, but i’ve had improved use of it. My problem is I’m no HTML pro, so wp-blogger helps that out with more robust features. It can help preformat tables structure, etc, which is timely by hand.
Not the perfect solution, but it might help.

In reply to: Can’t get to Step 2 of the InstallationI had a hangup like this on a simple error of not pointing wp to the correct MySQL DB location. Very obvious, I know… But So obvious I overlooked it for an hour in search of fancier solutions.

In reply to: GoDaddy Windows installationI have no problems with GoDaddy.. but not with teh set up you purchased. Use the cheap FTP based PHP MySQL service, and it works fine. Just know you have to tell GoDaddy to create your MySQL base, and then point wp to the correct location per the WP setup directions.

In reply to: Hide hard coded Technorati Tags in post bodyI don’t know the answer to the first question. The second seems like a good way to go. Thanks
This is covered in another thread, but the solution was found to a problem noted that is still open in this thread. I’m posting so its found if someone searches the same problem and this thread gets clicked.

Here is the “Hack to Rule Them All” …Add to the main .css.blockquote {
background-color: #F7F7F7;
border-left : 5px solid #94A6BD;
border-bottom : 5px solid #94A6BD;
padding: 10px 20px;
}Notice the border-bottom description. That’s the new line that was added. All these headaches and THAT was it. Oh, beloved IE.

In reply to: IE Creeping Text and the Holy HackFIXED!!!!
Oh, boy… this is Rich!
Ok… funny stuff happening. A buddy of mine who was off on other projects through late tonight (or so i thought!) simultaneously logged on admin and tweaked the .css just when i made my adjustments… of course, he then removed tweak A (leaving it back to the total mess that i found) and then applied tweak B (below) which works. Once i saw tweak B in action, it was obvious i was not alone!
And, here MY rule 101 to users who seek computer help is that “it” never does something unless its told. Hah!
Anyway, here is the “Hack” to “Rule Them All”
blockquote {
background-color: #F7F7F7;
border-left : 5px solid #94A6BD;
border-bottom : 5px solid #94A6BD;
padding: 10px 20px;
}Notice the border-bottom description. That’s the new line that was added. All these headaches and THAT was it.
MUCHO Thankos to all who helped out on this and other stuff! You guys are great!

In reply to: IE Creeping Text and the Holy HackHmm. I must be going mad. Post refresh, It just went back to its old fully creepy self. Its crap again. I contemplated for 5 seconds that maybe i had thought it was fixed by refreshing it via FF when I thought is was IE. But No Way. That weird half creep / then correction by the bottom was / is NOT in FF and never was. But IE is a mess.

In reply to: IE Creeping Text and the Holy HackI’ll do.
One thing i noted was that the EquiX site is very short on content. For kicks, i reduced my front page volume by a few days and then modified my recent posts with the < !more> function, and my site is short enough — barely — to not get a fatal case of The Creep. But it is still there — only now just much less noticeable and not asthetically fatal… (especially critical since as of this afternoon its now the target of an actual 7-year-old domain name).
TIDBIT: Also, i notice that said Creep is worse in the middle, and corrects itself towards the bottom. That’s whacked. Does that give any clues??

In reply to: File Upload Error — What Does This Mean?This was probably tried arleady, but have you atually tested FTP with one of those big files? You never know what your host is up to.

In reply to: IE Creeping Text and the Holy HackI posted up Equix on another wp site of mine and it turns it into a mess.
The equix site does not have my problem. I have not talked to the author yet.

In reply to: IE Creeping Text and the Holy HackOh, and that said, what would you modify in the ie css to fix this text creep??

In reply to: IE Creeping Text and the Holy HackVkaryl — my other option seems to be the alternate css you mentioned yesterday. You posted up:
“<style type=”text/css” media=”screen”>
@import “standard.css”;</style><!–[if ie]>
<style type=”text/css” media=”screen”>
@import “ietweaks.css”;
</style>
<![endif]–>This entry between the <head> tags of the page displays the site as designed in both browsers. What I did to implement this was to layout the site and get it the way I wanted it in FF, then make the necessary tweaks to a dupe stylesheet for IE”
What i have is this:
</script>
<script type=”text/javascript”><!– This is a “hack” so you can have it working on the fucking non-standard Internet Exploted (aka IE) –>
<!–
var browserName=navigator.appName;
if (browserName==”Microsoft Internet Explorer”)
{
document.write(‘<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/style_ie.css” type=”text/css”>’)
}
//–>
</script>Its what came with the them, but clearly needs some work. Is this general route a better solution than the holy hack… which so far ain’t cutting it…

In reply to: File Upload Error — What Does This Mean?I’m dying to know what creepygirlballs is….
I can’t say why that’d be a problem, and would just work around with FTP. But that’s probably not gonna work for the client.
(sorry)
