 * That did it, Otto. But once I took em out, I didn’t like the way it looked, so
   I’ve put them back in.
 *  That being the case: got any idea how I can fix up the spacing issues on the
   l sidebar down under “board people”?
 *  Thanks!

   be cool if somebody, hint hint, made a *real* countdown-til-next-scheduled-post

 * Wow. You’re right. I wonder why, then, when I did the sitescan thing, it returned
   the following:
 * Get Google Analytics Help
    0% 0 out of 53 pages are tagged properly Overview 
   Tracking Code Installation – Problem Google Analytics only tracks pages that 
   contain the Google Analytics tracking code. This code needs to be added to each
   page of your site, either manually or through the use of includes or other methods.
 * And none of my pages seem to be showing up in google analytics itself, either.
   Any thoughts about where I’m going wrong?

 * I tried as you suggest, Clayton, and got nowhere, though it does seem that it’s
   the correct solution.
 * all: here’s a link to the css code. if you could have a gander at it, that’d 
   be great!

 * whew, i got it myself:
 *  `<?php the_excerpt(); ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read the story</
   a>`
    problem is with this tag i can’t insert, for instance, a flash mp3 player
   in the summary; some reason, any kind of formatting gets knocked right out of
   the box.
 *  solutions, anyone?

 * “you cannot have an element with the same ID multiple times on page. It should
   be class. Next, I have no idea how it was styled in your stylesheet… if you use‘
   float’ and you don’t clear it – yes, it can screw up your whole design!” —
 * sheesh, i know so little about what i’m doing that i don’t understand any of 
   what you’re saying, so at this pt maybe i just better drop the whole “read the
   story” idea and revisit it later, when maybe i know more.
 * thanks for you help, tho. couldn’t have gotten this far w/ out it.

 * `<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to 
   <?php the_title(); ?>">Read the Rest of this entry &raquo;</a>`
 * i got this code from a search here and i think there’s something in it throwing
   my results off. i think it has to do with the ?>”> but i’m not sure how to fix
   it. and my experiments trying it myself haven’t paid off so far.
 *  also: i’m not sure where to place the line. i was placing it after the _excerpt
   tag but within it’s own <div id=contentright></div> tags, which I don’t know 
   if it’s the right thing to do or not.

 * hmmm, okay, thanks. i’ve spent a bit o time trying to figure out the permalink
   thing. the closest i’ve come is this:
 * `<a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>Read the Story
   </a>`
 * That does indeed add the link. Sadly, it also screws up the entire page, throwing
   sidebars to the bottom of page, bringing up past posts in their place, etc. A
   total botch.
 * Since I’ve come this far …. got any suggestions?
 * btw/ i’ve been making these changes in home.php since i gather it takes precedence
   over index.php. i forgot to mention that at the start

 * moshu: thanks, works great. two things.
 * 1/ the theme i’m using doesn’t have a single.php template i guess, but your suggestion
   works anyway. that okay?
 * 2/ using your fix, the post title links to the post page but i no longer get 
   a ‘read more’ link at the end of the summary. i would like to have a link there(
   probably: ‘read the story’). how could i get one there again?
 * thanks again for your help!

 * support says they’ve been having network issues. you’d think that when you hit
   the “check network” button, it’d say something about issues instead of giving
   it the A okay. so far i’m not very impressed w/ lunarpages.

 * well, i can log into lunarpages but i can’t access control panel (“problem loading”),
   and i’m assuming that’s where I’d check my ftp settings and data base. i opened
   a ticket at lp; hopefully someone there’ll be able to help me out. must be i 
   screwed something up somewhere along the way.
