In reply to: WP Backup/Restore new versionKarl, unless you upload a lot of stuff (like pictures, add hacks etc) to your blog, the files do not get changed much. Thus a file backup is not necessary all that often. There are ways to force a download of the file and then delete it off the server, but I did not think that would be as useful. Just as MtDewVirus suggested, download the backups to your local computer and delete them off the server when they get too large in numbers.

In reply to: WordPress 1.0.1 help neededDoes your webhost have a database setup for you? Do you have a control panel through which you can add a database? Your best bet is to email or contact your webhost and ask them about creating you a database for wordpress.

In reply to: WordPress 1.0.1 help neededDid you double check that you created a database for WordPress and specified that name in wp-config.php? Also, what did you specify as the host for your database?

In reply to: WP Backup/Restore new versionThanks MtDewVirus!!
@karl: If you are still with me, try this:
Find this line (in 4 places) in backupRestore.php:
require_once (‘./admin-header.php’);
and replace with this line:
require_once (‘admin-header.php’);Forum: Plugins
In reply to: WP Blacklist Comment Spam Filter UpdateIf you have the earlier version and would like to use the import/export functions from your admin page, you would need to copy all the files to your wp-admin folder and change the menu.txt as in the readme. The blacklist.txt only contains the list of new domains and does not perform as a script. Your best bet is to follow the instructions in the readme and ignore the part of the instructions that you already have incorporated.

In reply to: can *anyone* post by email?I use email posts all the time. Take a look at my email blogging with picture attachment parsing at http://wordpress.org/support/10/1339 and the modified script from rob at http://wordpress.org/support/10/2455
This new script will allow you to post attachments along with your entry through email and it makes small thumbnails and then makes them clickable.
I have further refinements in the form of email posts from cell phones and moblogging solutions for SprintPCS and others. If you are getting errors, tell us what happens and we will take a look at your problem.
PS: using non-html email is the more foolproof methodForum: Installing WordPress

In reply to: Technorati Link Cosmos HackTechnically, the only reason it will fail is when the text cache file is not found or it cannot be written to (in the new version) In all other cases, it is designed to display nothing. What were the errors you saw?
The new script also give technorati 10 seconds to respond. If that fails (technorati is down often), it just kills cosmos.php and moves on.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Disappearing text in IE6I know you have mentioned this before on this forum, but it works just fine on my IE6. I guess I would suggest a different color for hover to see if that makes a difference.

In reply to: WP Blacklist Comment SPAM Filteration@tg: That is one of the things on my list of items to do when I get a reprieve from my thesis. I will also be working on an import/export function for the blacklist for easier exchange between users. 🙂
