In reply to: Export Blog content but not Static pagesMichaelH – I had thought of that, but was hoping for a plug-in or script a bit less clunky.
If I go the “edit export file route” any tips on how to identify the static pages in the export file? It’s a huge long TXT file. Would the pages be near the beginning, end, or scattered throughout?

In reply to: Embedded YouTube video ERRORInstalled the Viper plug-in and had high hopes for it, but alas I could not get it to work. So I did a little reading and experimenting and taught myself how to embed video from YouTube or direct from my server. It’s quite simple once I mastered the steps.

In reply to: MP3 Player for posts?I’ve tried wpaudioplayer a couple of times and get the same (nothing) result as with the Podcasting plugin. The code shows up on the post but not the player. I am beginning to think I have something else set incorrectly somewhere. Plugins are simple to install so I don’t think it’s that. I have tried Firefox and Safari (Mac 10.4.11) and I’ve even checked it on a PC in Firefox.
Could it be that I need a browser plugin or some other setting changed?
I also have two Experts at Experts-Exchange trying to help me and they keep going back to the basics, which I’ve done many times.

In reply to: MP3 Player for posts?Tony –
Am I losing what little is left of my mind? This is what appeared on my screen in your post –[podcast]http://jimseybert.com/beta_1/audio/Congalton_Feb_18_09.mp3[/podcast]
Just the URL between the word podcast in brackets.
Isn’t it supposed to be a little icon or something?

In reply to: MP3 Player for posts?dmclaren – hey, thanks for the complete step-by-step. I feel your pain and frustration. for the time being, I am just not thinking about doing audio. one of these days I will take the time to really research this. I have a friend who is extremely savvy with WordPress and Podcasts – so once the time is right, I should have some answers. Which I’ll post here – might be a while.

In reply to: MP3 Player for posts?Hmm – Quite a few people have looked at this and yet no one has attempted an answer. I can’t imagine I am the only one who’s ever asked this.
What do YOU do to have a simple player show when you post audio? OR, do you not have a player show and just provide the audio?

In reply to: WP-admin appears in TXT only – no formattingOK – I found the code by looking at the SOURCE on the admin/log-in page.
Yikes – how am I supposed to fix that ??
I am already way over my head as far as coding.
It may be “poetry” to some, but it doesn’t rhyme to me.I wonder if there isn’t someone I can pay to fix this for me.

Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WP-admin appears in TXT only – no formattingThat’s what I thought I had done with the “Changing the Site URL” instructions.
In fact, the “public side” works fine at http://jimseybert.com.
It’s the admin stuff i can’t get into now.How can I fix this ?
