In reply to: Selective displaying of blog postsDetermine which page template is used to display your front page – some themes use home.php while others use index.php
Whichever it is, place the following at the very top …
<?php if (is_home()) { query_posts("cat=-X"); } ?>… where X is the numerical ID of the category you want to exclude.
More reading on the query_posts function.

In reply to: Completely confused… advice and moral support requiredHave you read through the Theme Development section of the Codex? Also, Small Potato has an excellent tutorial on building a theme from scratch here. Additionally, Weblog Tools Collection has a video tutorial section covering all aspects of WordPress here.

In reply to: Search result URL always shows ?s=That’s the default action of a search result even when using so-called pretty permalinks. You can change it however – I did on my own blog.
First, create a new file called search.php containing the following…
<?php header('Location: http://www.yoursite.com/search/' . $_GET['s']); ?>…and upload it to root.
Next, look for the searchform in your theme and change the action to…
action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/search.php"The end result will be yoursite.com/search/SEARCHTERMS instead of yoursite.com/?s=SEARCHTERMS

In reply to: How to make an archive page with 2.7Are you sure that people on the bloglist will receive pingbacks each time I write a new post even if the blogroll is not displayed?
One has nothing to do with the other. To be able to send and receive pingbacks make sure you have enabled them. Navigate to Settings > Discussion and at the top of the page you’ll see Default article settings.
Here’s a screen capture.

In reply to: WP SECURITYThe 5 static sites belonging to your family members listed in the post “Web Server and Security Engineering”.
are very 1997

In reply to: How to make an archive page with 2.7If you’re referring to bobv2 from BlogOhBlog then that theme already has its own archive page template –> archives.php
Write a new page, call it Archives and select that page template from the drop menu.
With respect to your bloglist page you can use this…
<?php /* Template Name: bloglist */ ?> <?php get_header(); ?> <div id="content"> <div class="entry"> <h2>My Blogroll</h2> <ul> <?php wp_list_bookmarks(); ?> </ul> </div></div> <?php get_sidebar(); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?>Save it as bloglist.php and then assign it to your bloglist page.
There are several arguments that can be passed to
wp_list_bookmarks()so you may want to do some reading.Forum: Alpha/Beta/RC
In reply to: WP SECURITY@jdembowski – at the risk of getting off topic, love those 5 static sites linked from your main domain. 😉

In reply to: WP SECURITYi can upgrade his site whitout admin username or password.
So what? That file will only do anything if someone has deleted the old files from his server, uploaded the new ones and has yet not run the script. If the script has already been executed it won’t do anything.
As jdembowski said if it bothers you that much delete it.

In reply to: How to make an archive page with 2.7Will they receive the pingback in their admin menu even if I don’t show the bloglist?
Yes they will. By the way what theme are you using? I love tinkering with my local installs.
