Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Plugin Slows Down Page Load of Blog, Please HelpThe problem usually is, that your site needs to load the XML data from http://www.erikberg.com/mlb/standings.xml and that causes a big delay.
What you need is caching. If you have cron jobs on your server use one for downloading the XML file every so or so minutes and just parse and deliver the output (or even parse in the cronjob too and just pipe it through).
Another attempt would be to use AJAX to load the data later (as seen in the plugin Scrobbler).

In reply to: New Theme: MusilI wonder why it’s not working on your site since it works on mine. I will check what I can do, when I’m fit again.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: New Theme: MusilIf you want a post to appear on the frontpage as the featured (primary) post assing it to the category .feature (the latest feature will be displayed on the frontpage, you don’t have to edit old posts). If you want it to appear in the sidebar assing it to the category .sidenote. (You can do this when you are adding a new post, you don’t have to go back every time.)
As I said: There is a button called “more” on wp-admin/post.php. Place the cursor where you want the more link to appear and press the button or use the excerpt further down.
Just play a bit with WordPress and watch it working, I think blogging is best learned by doing it.

In reply to: New Theme: MusilYou can assign posts to categories in the post mode, just try it:
Edit or add a new post and add the category .sidenote (you can do that in a box on the right side) to the post.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: New Theme: MusilOk, if the category .sidenote does not exist, all posts are shown in the sidebar, just add the category and it will work fine. Same goes for .feature. see the README or here http://wordpress.org/support/topic/61605?replies=25#post-332502 for a more detailed desciption for .sidenote and .feature.
That thing with the more link works by just adding ‘<!–more–>’ to the post (i.e. click on more above the edit field) or by adding an excerpt.
Btw: You can see which version you use in your backend under presentation. (and I am quick. 🙂

In reply to: New Theme: Musilohh, sorry. I forgot to mention, that there is a plugin requirement: Related Posts, you can downlad it here: http://www.w-a-s-a-b-i.com/archives/2006/02/02/wordpress-related-entries-20/
I will remove that dependency on the next version.

In reply to: New Theme: MusilIt’s not about bugs, it’s about completness, I don’t feel, that The Musil Theme is what it should be.

In reply to: New Theme: MusilMusil 0.98 is out, featuring schemes. That makes it much easier to use Musil as a framework for a new theme.

CATEGORIES AND TAGS
In my opinion categories and tags are the same, so if I talk about tags I mean categories. If you want to use categories the same way you would use tags you can use the Cat2Tag Plugin.
The Musil Theme introduces a new concept called Hidden Tags to WordPress. Hidden Tags are invisible for the visitor and are used for several things (see THE FEATURED POST and SIDENOTES for examples). To add a Hidden Tag just prepend a dot to the tags name (e.g. .private would be a Hidden Tag).
THE FEATURED POST
The Musil Theme displays a leading post, the featured post, on the frontpage in full length, this post will catch the attention of the visitor. To add a new post to the frontpage tag it with .feature.
SIDENOTES
Sidenotes are a new invention in the blogosphere. They basicly are simple posts most smaller than real posts, like an informal information, and they show up in the sidebar. The Musil Theme supports sidenotes, you just have to tag them .sidebar, if you want them to appear on the frontpage, and .page-<pagename>, if you want them to appear on the page called ‘pagename’ (e.g. a post taged .page-musil would appear on the page ‘musil’)
