    Sure. You would have to use a newsreader script. The excerpts are the thumbnails, so it would work just fine.

    @nuclearmoose and others facing some issues, I just finished adding this to the readme, so this might help on here as well…
    Some Issues raised with the install on the forums and possible solutions:
    If you are getting this error or similar:
    Call to undefined function: read_exif_data()
    You do not have EXIF compiled with php. The fastest solution is to download this:
    http://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/pictorialis_no_exif.zip
    I will be working around this problem with a built in library soon.
    If you are getting this error or similar:
    Warning: imagejpeg(): Unable to open ‘/your/directory/thumfake.jpg’
    for writing in /your/directory/wp-admin/post.php on line 35
    First, for some reason, making post.php writeable makes a difference (which is really weird)
    My understanding of the problem is that even though you might have the directories set to 777
    your webserver does not have permission to the stuff inside the directory.
    I suggest that you delete the wp-admin/images and wp-admin/thumbnail directories and recreate
    them manually with the 777 permissions (or 766 would work as well). If that does not work, a quick
    email sent to your server admin will fix the issue.
    If you are getting this error or similar:
    Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg(): ‘/tmp/php42MvDb’ is not a valid JPEG
    file in
    /home/virtual/site97/fst/var/www/html/photoblog/wp-admin/post.php on line 16
    This error is saying that it did not complete the upload to the /tmp directory
    of your webserver or the file got deleted before the script could pick it up. I am
    looking into this issue to see if I can find a workaround for it.
    Have fun, I have already seen a couple of very nicely done photologs from this.

    Are you using HTML email? (Outlook express does weird stuff with email)
    Check to make sure your email is being sent as plain text.

    😛 I guess I made everyone work a little too hard on a Sunday! Im sorry.
    podz: That is a permission issue. Do those files get created at all? gifs will NOT work. The dimensions for the newly created image are set on top of post.php which is inside wp-admin folder.

    ara, can you come to the IRC channel? I will be able to work through things quicker (#wordpress on freenode)
    PS: it is not necessary to keep the default entry.

    Thanks for the support everyone!
    I apologize for the long wait. Here is a version which does not use php_exif functions and should work for podz and ara (among others, please let me know if this fails as well)
    http://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/pictorialis_no_exif.zip
    alexkingorg: I agree that Exifer would be a better solution. However, I am not able to spend time on that at the moment. If someone is willing to work that into the script, please feel free. If you do make those changes, please let me know so I can update my files.
    Thanks again for all the testing and the patience.
    🙂

    My suggestion: wait till the next release of WordPress comes out.
    🙂

    myhacks.php will be deprecated in the next few releases, but the myhacks.php structure will continue to coexist with the plugin architecture for the time being.

    The http://wordpress.org/development/ and the http://wiki.wordpress.org have some really good resources listed. Welcome to WordPress! 🙂
    Peace

    Podz, Thank you for your support and your kind words. Every plug of yours is greatly welcome! 🙂
    Peace.

    You can either move the WordPress includes to after your function script is done processing or you could re-include wp-config.php after you are done with the function.

    Archives and paged posts are done. Please check them out. I am now working with a better thumbnail navigation scheme.

    1) Backup everything including the files and the MySql database
    2) Make a note of the settings in your old wp-config.php (database, username etc)
    3) Delete your old 0.72 folder
    4) modify wp-config-sample.php with the settings from wp-config.php (0.72) and rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php
    5) Upload everything to your blog folder
    6) Visit in a webpage:
    http://yourwebpage.com/yourblogfolder/wp-admin/upgrade.php
    After that is done, check to see if your blog is updated. Again, make sure you back everything up in case something goes wrong.
