In reply to: Blogwidow is pretending it’s publishing your blogJust a thought– if everyone here posted links all over the web to 404 or “domain not found” stuff, ie: http://www.blogwidow.com/cgi/view.cgi/xlcdy.com
http://www.blogwidow.com/cgi/view.cgi/rurururu.orgOr better yet:
http://www.blogwidow.com/cgi/view.cgi/whitehouse.gov/biteme.htmWell, rather than ruin OUR google serps, wouldn’t it ruin his?

In reply to: All links brokenJust a question–
“EVEN when the .htaccess file still resides at the root of my domain”Is the root of your domain the same as the root of your wordpress installation? In order for permalinks to work the .htaccess file that you create for WordPress permalinks must be in the root directory of your WordPress Installation. If it isn’t then the behaviors described (404’s and such) will happen.

In reply to: Help with signature neededsonie3, to add to what alphaoide said, you’ll find “the Loop” in your index.php file of your theme, and, I believe, also in single.php. Open index.php in a text editor, such as notepad, and add the appropriate code (above) to those php files within “the Loop.” Save, then upload either via ftp or via your webhost’s filemanager into the proper directory on your site in ascii format.
Information on what “the Loop” is here:

Enjoy, monkeypup. And if you want to poke around and learn more about css (a HUGE learning curve) I suggest you start here:

Oh, just to make you feel better, the theme you started with is totally borked to begin with, so you aren’t the one (or at least not the only one) who screwed it up. In future you might want to run a theme you wanna use through the validator before you do all the work.

In reply to: Fixed positioning in IEIE is a nightmare with fixed positioning. You’d be better off with a floated layout, at least then, with maybe a hack or two, IE can be made to behave.
But if you’re determined to make what you have work, maybe something here might help:

There are some warnings with XP SP2 and High Security firewall settings, so it’s really going to depend on what your audience is and the purpose of the site as to whether you should go ahead, or just scrap the idea in favor of something that can be made to workin IE more easily and will reach a larger audience.Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Adapting WP to my site layout is proving difficultYou might also give this a read, it really explains how the theme files interact and how to include the calls for different pieces of things.

In reply to: HELP! (Site looks bad in Internet Explorer)It could have something to do with the 237 html validation errors and 16 parse errors in the css. Actually, it isn’t as bad as it looks, since most of the validation errors have to do with a mixup of code, probably html 4.01 you added to an existing xhtml 1.0 document, so running the source code through htmltidy here with the xhtml box checked should show you what you have to fix where:

It’s Kickass-Squawk! on the ThemeSwitcher if you want to preview it. Code validates and it works in all late-model browsers, INCLUDING IE6 (and IE5mac!)

In reply to: Next and Previous links on Permalink pagesI think adding a simple clear: both; declaration to .post in your css will fix it in IE (it works fine in real browsers)
*hint* When I customize a theme I customize every page in the theme, not just the index.php and style.css. Different php files are responsible for different pages and different areas of each page. index.php is only for the index page of your site, other pages are generated using single.php or page.php, or one of the archives files.
For a more thorough rundown of how that all works, read here:

In reply to: Problem rendering PNG with transparent background“all the MSIE tricks – or hacks – that have been so far proposed miserably fail on all Win OS platforms”. This is an untrue statement. I use win2k and can view sites using any of the above “hacks” in IE6 and all work much better than jaggy indexed transparency gifs, which is your only other option. I consider that to be a qualified success, not a miserable failure. Yes, it would be better if Microsnot got their shee*t together, but . . . they haven’t yet. So these hacks are a reasonable alternative. Is there something wrong with your particular setup maybe that’s causing the failure on your system? I know a lot of people who had early XP and had to SP2 as an afterthought have had all kinds of problems.

In reply to: Need browser checks(esp mac) & comments, new themeAre you saying we should bestow the nickname “moshu the astigmatic”?? Has kind of a ring to it, like Marko the Magnificent . . . take it on the road, moshu! *grin*

In reply to: Need browser checks(esp mac) & comments, new themeYes, it does. I was planning on playing with that a bit anyway, though I actually don’t know if a bit of “disturbance” is necessarily a bad thing, makes it a bit edgy. But maybe I can alter it just a bit . . . though the font is definitely staying. I like it too much with this to bother considering anything else.

In reply to: How to test WordPress on my PC?If netbeans with tomcat is already installed, is it possible to use that to run/test php also? Any links on that, if it’s possible?
