In reply to: Free?“I apologize for the thread. A mis-understanding.”
Don’t worry. There’s nothing that warrents an apology on your part. WordPress, the software, is free to download and use. WordPress.com, the blog host managed and run by the developers of WP, is also free.
So in a nutshell, they’re both free.

In reply to: Date Time Bug?? in WP 2.0“January 01, 2006 @ 00:01 but when I published it, the timestamp displayed: January 1st, 2006 12:01 am. It is not correct, isn’t it?”
Actually it is correct. 00:01 is the same as 12:01am. AM means “ante meridiem” or before noon (and likewise, PM means post meridiam and afternoon).
If you want times in a 24 hour format, use
the_time('G:i a')
instead of
the_time('g:i a')See: http://uk2.php.net/date and http://codex.wordpress.org/Formatting_Date_and_Time

In reply to: How’d I know who subscribes to my WP feed?FWIW, I’ve had no problems with Feedburner. As with statistics gathering with regular webpages, the tracking of unique subscribers will not be 100% accurate (consider how you track someone using bloglines or another webbased reader) but Feedburner appears pretty accurate as well as being easy to use.

In reply to: Transfer Database Into WordPress Database. Help! How?1,2) Yes you can but it’s not a straightforward piece of work. You’ll need a set of (SQL) migration scripts to convert from the custom DB model to the WP DB model.
Looking at the DB model that you’ve provided, it’s not going to be overly difficult but it will involve some work. It’ll probably be unlikely that someone will do this for free so you’ll probably to going to need to hire someone for this work.
3) Yes.

In reply to: Sidebar below contentI’m guessing that you downloaded this theme from Alex King’s WP theme page. If so, try downloading the latest version at http://ifelse.co.uk/flex to see if that addresses things.

In reply to: WordPress Elite? Anyone Used It? Alternatives?“By the way, GPL only allows you to distribute the code if you make it free–charging for it is out of the question”
What GPL and open-source is about is free as in speech not as in beer. Price doesn’t come into it; you are perfectly free to charge for GPL software. Take a look at what Redhat, IBM, et al do. The only proviso is that if GPL software (and derivatives) are distributed, then the source must also be redistributed. Please don’t spread misinformation if you’re not conversant with the details and technicalities.
You’re saying that this guy has licensed his product under the GPL so that if I buy a copy I can give it away free? Somehow I doubt that;
I haven’t looked at his product or site but if he is redistributing GPL’ed code, modified or otherwise, then that is also GPL’ed and anyone is free to give it away as they see fit (even free if they’d wished). That is an inherent and intentional aspect of the GPL; it means that someone else cannot restrict what was free.

In reply to: Category dot php“Because Google and Yahoo prefeers files (php) and not directories (/) for a better web positioning.”
I don’t know who told you that but that’s totally incorrect. From a user-agent perspective, there is no difference between a resource ending in / and ending with a file extension.
In addition, having a file-extension makes zero difference to Search Engine positioning. The main factors that affect SE placement with regards to URL are keyword placement and length. (Cruft free) permalinks as generated by WP are thus treated favourably by Search Engines such as Google as witnessed by a lot of WP sites featuring highly.
