In reply to: How do I get an API Key for You Tubeyou don’t need an api key… i know it says you do, but you don’t…
on the youtube page which has the video you want to place on your blog, in the box directly to the right of the video it should say something like
Tags
Url
EmbedTake the stuff in the embed box and paste it directly into your blog post.
edit: don’t know if this will work… if you’re worried about validations take the part which says
<embed src...and change the “embed” to “object”… do the same for the</embed>tag at the end… that should make it valid html… no promises on that though.that’s it.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: links pageI thought maybe there’s a friendly person here who knows what template to use so that when I add links to blogroll (what’s displayed by alot of themes in the sidebar), it will display them on a Page. (Instead of the sidebar).
1. make a copy of your index.php file in your theme directory.
2. strip out everything relating to the post functions.. a possible example of what you might be left with…<?php get_header(); ?> <?php get_sidebar(); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?> </body> </html>3. add in (in the above example it would go before the footer call)
<?php wp_get_links(1); ?>
The (1) is saying to display all the links in your first blogroll category…
you can make calls to another category by adding in another call and changing the number…
4. save the file with a name like… linkpage.php
5. place a static link to it somewhere in your index.php fileForum: Themes and Templates

In reply to: Newbie seeks ideas for his user-content weblog1. add the <!–more–> tag at the very beginning of the post
2. pre-fab – not that I know of. the one drawback of WP is permission levels. It does an excellent job provided of doing what it does, but for what you’re wanting I’d think you’d need something which would allow you to create you own admin levels to set access to certain categories. Geeklog has great permission levels, but isn’t nearly as friendly to work with as WP.

In reply to: links pagewhat sorts of links?
if you’re wanting to use the links stored in your blogroll, you could create a seperate template page strip out the stuff that deals with posts and add the tag in to pull in your blogroll… if you’ve done a good job of organizing them into categories you can display them based on that…

In reply to: view blogit should be pointing to the directory where you have wordpress installed… or in the off chance that you have it installed in the same directory as the rest of the site then it should be pointing to the index.php file…
what’s the link to the site?
edit: when you’re on the blog home page, look in the address bar of your browser… that’s where it should be pointing…

In reply to: 2 Newbie questions about Comments1. not sure which file it is, but right now your comments are displaying on a page other than index.php… try renaming comments.php (if it’s in your theme folder) to something else and see if that helps.
2. that’s probably a configuration issue go to the admin panel and click on the options tab. check where the Blog address (URL): is pointing to.

Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: How do I structure this site?sounds to me like you’ve answered your original question…
For the articles, do I just make them extra-long blog posts, or blog posts with “more” links, or Pages under an /articles/ subdirectory?
That being the case you’re going to want to make sure that you use one of the search plugins to increase what the default search function does.
Good Luck.
