In reply to: any way to squeeze something extra in to the default setup?Well I think that custom post template plugin has the ability to take an existing post and create a new template from it so there’s no reinventing the wheel. Think of it as a custom page template, but for posts. 🙂

In reply to: any way to squeeze something extra in to the default setup?There are plugins that create templates of often used code for certain posts. Might one of those work?

In reply to: How toThe page title is whatever the page is called. The permalink code dictates what the pattern of the page/post title (or “slug” as it’s commonly called) will follow. Normally, for a WordPress Page, when permalinks are used, it follows the page name. E.g., About would be /about/, Contact would be /contact/ and so forth. So it’s really about as specific as it can be and still be generic enough for everyone’s use.
Be careful when reading the Codex because there is a big difference between “page” and “Page,” as “Page” means specifically a WordPress static page. 🙂

In reply to: Reblog WordPress to TumblrThere’s a plugin that does this. Find it here. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp2tumblr/
And you can have it automatically Tumble every post or just ones you have selected (there’s a check box in the posting area for that purpose).

In reply to: get to site from blogTry my friend’s neat trick. You will need to create a page template specifically for this, but you can use it to create any number of pages that are just links elsewhere.

In reply to: I can’t log inIt’s just data, nothing should have gotten “unplugged.” Why doesn’t he just export the user table (make sure Drop Table is checked) from the back up into the live database? That should restore the user situation. He really should look in the backup and make sure that there are only the users that are supposed to be there. Hack attempts on unsecured versions of WordPress, which 2.7 now is, have been known to take place by injecting additional admin users into the database. If this is the case, then your WP was hacked.

In reply to: I can’t log inThe instructions are easy as pie. Just follow them to the letter. And when you DO get in there to change the admin password (following the instructions in the link I posted), EXPORT an SQL dump of that database. THEN notify your web host. Web hosts sometimes will hose a database if they can’t figure what else to do to correct the problem. It’s up to you to have a backup. And again, if your guy doesn’t understand what I’m talking about — which is basic web maintenance 101 — then find someone who does.
