In reply to: Pictures in Blogger to WPWhich browser did you use?
If you save an html page in firefox it will also save the images in a separate folder for viewing offline. At least it does for me. Give it a try.
Then all you need to do is check the path and see if you can just put the images directory in the right location to reflect where your image links point.

In reply to: CSS use in a new PAGEOne warning– inline styles will often overrule other things that have been defined in your stylesheet or embedded in the header. Inline styles should be used only if you know what you’re doing and know what it is you’re overriding. Dire consequences can result otherwise. Also, styles embedded in the header will override the stylesheet. Same words of caution. It’s one of the reasons I define ALL styles in the stylesheet.

In reply to: Help, please! My sidebar’s gone nuts!It looks like you solved this?
For the record, sidebars are often constructed so that they create nested lists. IE has a problem with percentage font size in nested lists that’s been well documented. I don’t know if that was the problem but 9 times out of 10 that’s the culprit.

In reply to: Footer Not Showing UpIt should be:
<img src="http://c11.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=1203879&java=0&security=f354b429&invisible=0" alt="statistics" border="0" />That’s what jwurster meant. However, I doubt that’s what’s causing your footer to go missing. Javascript is sometimes funny with WP and/or with xhtml/css. Try commenting out your statcounter code and see if the footer appears. If it does, then you’ll know that there’s a conflict somehow with that code and either WP or the xhtml/css. If there is a conflict you can try the cdata thing (just google “cdata”) around the jscript, uncomment it and try it out. Another thing you can try is putting the statcounter code LAST. Maybe even make its own div for it below the footer.
Good luck! And get some sleep, k?

In reply to: pinging problems?If you’re using 1.5.x and have a lot of sites you ping on update, then there is a lag between when you press the button and when it shows in admin that the post has been made. However, I’ve never heard of a white screen.
There is a plugin for solving that problem, but I doubt it’ll solve the whitescreen problem. I imagine it’s listed in the codex since I remember seeing it.
If you’re using 2.0 — well, that problem is supposed to be solved in this version, but . . . I do remember some problems posted on the forum, did you search before posting? Use google to search, you’ll get better results.

In reply to: Stupid QuestionUm, just remember to change permissions back when done, it’s a REALLY bad idea to leave those permissions “wide open”. And if you have to go in on ftp anyway to do chmod, why not just change files locally and upload ’em?

In reply to: WordPress “texturizes” my javascript …There’s more than one way to do the cdata things. I’d google it and see if another way helps. Also, if you’re using 2.0 you might try turning off that editor and using the simpler editor in advanced mode.
And I’m sure vkaryl will be chiming in on this eventually, she’s the one who clued me in to there being more than one way to do the cdata stuff.

In reply to: WordPress “texturizes” my javascript …Are you using the cdata thingies? Wrapping them around javascript makes them “translate literally”.

In reply to: Recent Posts hack broken by images in wp_postsWouldn’t it be easier to just use the proper template tag? It’s certainly a lot LESS lines of code–
<?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=10'); ?>This tag just pulls post titles, but I’m sure it can be altered to pull the posts.

In reply to: pingbacks and trackbacks, reduxMaybe on your server this is the case, but not on my client’s server. I’ve tried it both ways. Only if I trackback from my 1.5.x blogpost to his 2.0 blogpost with the trackback url does it “register” and show as a comment. Whereas I can link any ol’ way from 1.5.x to 1.5.x and it’ll register a trackback.
Settings in Options > Discussions:
Allow link notifications checked.This setting has not changed since the blog was first set up.
Since the trackback/pingback problems seem to be especially “sensitive” to server config, maybe this is just another anomaly . . .
