 * Something like that. [Flickr](http://www.flickr.com/) will let you do that:
 * 1) Take picture
    2) Email from phone to the address Flickr gives you. That will
   put the pictures into your Flickr account. or 2) Email to the second address 
   Flickr will give you. Picture goes direct to your blog. The layout of text can
   be a bit messy, but for getting pictures online direct from your phone, it’s 
   not bad.
 * Other photo services quite possibly do something similar – Flickr just happens
   to be one I know does work with WordPress.

   at some point. Thanks.

 * If you’re linking to posts on your site, refer to them by the path from the root:
 * `/wordpress/2005/05/25/whateveritscalled/`
 * rather than
 * `http://yoursite.com/wordpress/2005/05/25/whateveritscalled/`
 * That will stop the internal pings.

 * Do you mean [this one](http://txfx.net/2004/07/22/wordpress-conversational-categories/)?
   There’s a newer version, which I mentioned in [this post](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/33423).
   I’m using it with no problem since the latest release came out.
 * However, the error you’re getting is a common one. See the codex:

 * Hmmm. Looks like it might be useful (it would tie in with something else I’m 
   fiddling with), but I’ve got a bit of a problem. I only get radio buttons for
   two categories. You can see what I mean in [this post](http://lcb.me.uk/losingit/2005/05/23/top-cat/)
   on my site. That’s with Firefox 1.0.4, WinXP.
 * Any ideas?
 * EDIT: Just checked, and it appears the same in *shudder* IE6

 * If you really need an old version try [here](http://static.wordpress.org/archive/).
 * What did the newer version do to your template?
 * The closing / at the end of img tags is valid XHTML- it’s supposed to be there,
   and I can’t see why that would stop your images appearing. Can you give a link
   to a post where this is happening, so we can have a look?
 * As to the width issue, again, we need a little more information – which template
   are you using? But mostly, a link to your site is needed for anyone to give any
   really useful advice. A lot of people here can give a lot of help, but it’s difficult
   without being able to see the site in question.

 * The [Subscribe2](http://www.skippy.net/blog/2005/02/17/subscribe2) plugin might
   be a good starting point. It’s intened to work with a sign-up page rather than
   a box on the sidebar, but it does do the job.

 * Now that’s what I like about these forums. That’s something I’d never even thought
   of doing, but as soon as I read it, I thought “oooh, I lke that”.
 * What I’d like to see (and I think I’ll have a go myself, might learn some PHP
   in the process, can’t be a bad thing) is to group the list by post category. 
   So you could have “Coming soon in Wibble[1]” or “Coming soon in Burble” and so
   on. Thanks for the idea, and the code, guys 🙂

 * Just tried that on a test site, and if you paste it in exactly as shown, it won’t
   work. That’s because of the line break in the `<script>` tag. WP inserts `<br
   >` tags, which breaks the script.
 * Edit this bit:
 * `<script type="text/javascript"
    src="http://data.metcentral.com/jscript/swellChart.
   js"> </script>
 * To this:
 * `<script type="text/javascript" src="http://data.metcentral.com/jscript/swellChart.
   js"></script>`
 * And it should work. (If it wraps above, just make sure there is no line break
   in your post between “text/javascript” and src.

 * Works for me. You should have an arrow to the left of Firefox’s search box. Pull
   it down, and select the engine of your choice…

 * The error generally means that WP is having trouble connecting to the database[
   1]. You need to check that you have the right values –
 * 1. Are you sure the database has been created, and that the user name and password
   really are the same as your FTP account?
 * 2. Are you sure the database host really is “localhost”? Some hosts have the 
   database on a different box from the web server.
 * Depending on your set up, you should be able to check these from your control
   panel, otherwise ask your host.
 * [1] I’ve seen it when the database server was down, for instance

 * I don’t think WordPress is doing that. [SPAM] is the kind of tag that might be
   being added by your mail provider’s spam filter before the mail gets to you. 
   Are you running any spam filtering yourself?
