ifelse

Oops, fixed the type. I meant home.php:-) Note that default doesn’t currently contain a home.php file.

That’s incorrect. Actually, home.php is higher in the template hierachy so if you want a static homepage, just add your code in wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME/home.php

Looks good. Nice job!

I agree, it’s looks like a nice, clean template that should be a good basis for customising.

Good job!

An auto_increment field will always retrieve the next highest number in a given table.
Assume that we have a table test defined as thus:
id int auto_increment
message varchar
and we insert a set of values as thus:
insert into test(message) (‘a’);
insert into test(message) (‘b’);
insert into test(message) (‘c’);

The table will now contain the following:
id | message
---|----------
1 | a
2 | b
3 | c

Now we go and execute the following:
insert into test(id, message) (100,’d’); //note the explicit id value

The table will now contain the following:
id | message
---|----------
1 | a
2 | b
3 | c
100| d

If we now go and execute “insert into test(message) (‘e’)”, we’ll find that the next value retrieved by MySQL for the id column is 101 i.e. that is the next sequential value.

This may provide some clues as to how a scenario arose. At some point, a category with an id of 4423 was inserted into the db which naturally caused all subsequent id’s to start from that offset.

vkaryl,

Auto_increment is a MySQL feature i.e. a database feature. It’s used for sequential id’s (i.e. similar to sequences and identity fields in other databases). This is used to typically generate unique primary keys i.e. post_id and category_ids. An auto_increment field will always retrieve the next highest number in a given table.

This isn’t a WP functionality per se but a html/css issue. Unfortunately, you didn’t provide a link to your blog in your profile so I can’t see what your design is like but hopefully I can steer you in the right direction.

What you need to do is appropriately markup the quote and apply some styling to it. BBC’s markup, in this instance, isn’t ideal but I digress.

What you should do is in your post, enclose the quote text with
< blockquote > tags. Now add the following to your style.css file.

blockquote{
float:right;
width:100px;
background:white;
border:1px solid black;
}

Voila. Standout blockquotes.
