In reply to: HOWTO: make a photolog like this using wordpressPaintshop Pro and other graphic programs, and even independent shareware programs like Batch Edit, will do automatic batch reductions and thumbnails. In Paintshop Pro, look under File > Batch > Process and select the images you want to thumbnail and have them copied to a new directory (make the new directory first). There is a built in script to have the thumbnails reduced to the max height or width (figures it all out) of 150 pixels, but I also created one that changed that to 250 for larger thumbnails.
Takes about 1 minute to do dozens of images depending upon your processor speed and such.

In reply to: press it button problem in firefoxI have not been able to get it to open in a new tab, only in a new window and I’ve tried. Just learn to look down at your button bar for all the windows that are open or when you close your main browser, you will see it anyway.
I haven’t been able to find a javascript that deals with Firefox’s open in a tab.
I use Press It constantly and I love it, so I get used to it opening a new window. I tend to go through my feeds and open any page that looks like a potential bit of good info in a new tab, so I can have 10-30 tabs open in one window. If you have “too many” tabs open, Firefox shoves the last tabs off the screen until you remove some tabs. So having Press It open in a new window doesn’t bother me in the least. I can then click on it and fill in the info and save it as a draft or for save and move on to the next subject.

In reply to: Page OrderIn the Pages panel, on each page, you can control the Page order in a drop down menu towards the bottom.

In reply to: WordPress Navigation BarYou can control the way Pages are used in your header ( see Designing Headers) and do excludes with the use of the template tag that lists page:

There are specific examples of how to do this in each of these articles.

In reply to: CanaryComment issue…Are you talking about the gravatar image? Or the view on the screen?
Are you saying that when someone hits submit, it takes forever for the page to reload or it never does? The comment then goes into the database but the user still sees the comment form?
If you can be more specific with what you are asking, we can give you specific help. Thanks.

In reply to: need help installing!!!Huh?
What code to drop into what frame? WordPress doesn’t use frames, though some people with a limited perspective try to put WordPress Themes into frames. So what are you asking?

In reply to: Connections and Brians Threaded commentsYour best bet is to visit the author’s website to see if anyone else has had this problem.
You could also switch your
comments.phpfrom the Default Theme to the Classic – just copy it over to see if that makes a difference – back things up of course.If there is still a problem, then contact the plugin author directly.
Good luck.

In reply to: Troubleshooting BackupAnd the new version by Skippy is version 1.6 – so that is what I thought you were talking about! Yikes.
Skippy’s backup is awesome! Very easy and will easily handle huge backup files with compression.

In reply to: Help with links in postsFirst, one post – no repeats. Very frowned upon.
Second, for extensive information on linking pages, posts, and categories, see http://codex.wordpress.org/Linking_Posts_Pages_and_Categories
Third, your WordPress link should be either:
http://example.com/index.php?p=240r, if you are using Permalinks:
http://example.com/category/my-post-name/and nothing should be ending in x.html only x.php.

In reply to: Flagging comments in DB as legitWell, I think Spam Karma 2 handles all of this beautifully, and allows easy adding of “flags” for future references.
Give that a try and see if it changes anything on your score card.

In reply to: Imported Blogger PostsThey should come into your template files automatically if the import was successful. Have you chosen a Theme? Did you test drive the theme before the import with test posts to make sure the site was working?
To check to make sure that the import worked, check your Administration Panels Manage Posts screen to see if there are posts listed there.
If they are not there, then open your database with PHPMyAdmin and look at the wp_posts table to see if the posts you imported are there and in the right fields. It takes a minor glitch to mess up the order of the import, putting all your posts in the excerpt field instead of the post field, though the import_blogger.php is really good at fixing that.
If they are not in your database or screwed up, then you will need to empty the database and start over.
Start by importing 4 or 5 posts at first to make sure that it is working, if possible.

In reply to: login on XP? help pleaseHere is a better question. Are you using a server with XP? Very few people are having trouble logging on with XP or other operating systems on their computer. The login process is mostly handled by the web browser not the operating system.
Are you using Internet Explorer or FireFox? Do you have ad blocker or any popup or advertising supression software installed? Any filters or blockers? Firewall?
Look at what you might be using on your system that interfers with your ability to access the Internet and web pages first.

In reply to: Theme Editor “error” ?Did you use the EXACT URL for the theme information?
http://example.com/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/style.cssIf this fails, then edit it on your hard drive (your computer) with a Text Editor (not word processor) like Notepad and then upload it with an FTP program.

In reply to: Troubleshooting BackupFirst, begin by deleting the original backup plugin from its directory in your plugins folder and uploading a brand new copy. Not all uploads transfer completely so this is a good preventive step.
Make sure you have the LASTEST version of WordPress (see the DOWNLOAD link at the top of this page). If not, upgrade.
Try a backup to your server with only the defaults – click nothing in the optional tables. See if that works.
If it still doesn’t work, come back and let us know.
