In reply to: Technorati & Incoming LinksI should add that the PHP script linked above is very buggy. It works in some places on the page, but not others. It often produces warning and error messages. It also only links to the top level of referring blogs – not the specific posts that are referring to you.

In reply to: Technorati & Incoming LinksI finally go that plugin to work. The problem is that both files cosmos.php and cosmos.xml must be at the root level of your blog directory. In other words – in the wrong place for a WordPress plugin.
Unfortunately, this plugin turns out not to work the way I wanted it. It only shows you the Technorati cosmos for your BLOG, not for an individual POST!!! I want what I see on many movable type blogs:
Comments (9) | Trackbacks (3) | Technorati (9)
In other words – it should show you how many technorati items there are for that particular post, just as it would comments or trackbacks. And it should link you to the technorati page where you can then see that cosmos.

In reply to: Theme switcher only for Admin?alphaoide: I had tried that and it disabled my entire WP install!!! Also, it doesn’t offer such a nice menu, or persistent caching across sessions.
Kafkaesqui: Thanks! You put me on the right track. This works:
<?php get_currentuserinfo(); global $user_level; if ($user_level > 8) { ?>Just what I wanted!

In reply to: Technorati & Incoming LinksIt has been over a month since I checked back here and I still haven’t found anything to do what I am looking for, namely – use technorati in a manner roughly equivalent to trackbacks, for sites that don’t send out pings.
I tried this:

But I couldn’t get it to work. It doesn’t seem particularly well documented, and I kept getting error messages, even though my permissions were all set right.

In reply to: WP Categories to Technorati Tags pluginYes, I believe this is done automatically without a plugin.

In reply to: Posts can’t be foundI had a problem like this when I upgraded my wife’s blog. The posts were visible as individual posts, but not in the archives or main page, giving a “not found” error. In this case it turned out to be a problem with the fact that during the upgrade process I had accidentally deleted my old .htaccess file with the URL redirection code, and once I restored this everything worked fine.

In reply to: Kicked off server – can anyone tell me what’s happening?Ampersand,
As a regular reader and occasional contributor to your blog, I’m sorry to hear you are having problems. I have a couple of suggestions:
(1) There are blogs/hacks that prevent trackback spam flooding. I don’t know if this is what you experienced, but I know my blog was flooded and it took me a while to get under control. These hacks work by preventing too many comments or trackbacks within a given amount of time. The SpamKarma plugin seems to work pretty well, although I just discovered it the other day.
(2) My web host is Hostmatters.com and I’ve been very happy with them. But then, my blog doesn’t get nearly as much traffic as yours.

In reply to: Technorati & Incoming LinksI’ve seen MT blogs that have incorporated Technorati so that it works just like Trackback – you see a list of the number of related posts in the index window:
technorati (3)
and then when you look at the individual archive page you see those posts listed as if they were comments or trackbacks.
I have not yet found a plugin to do this for WP.
Since I’ve had to turn trackbacks off because of SPAM, I thought this might be a nice way to do it instead. (I’ve not seen much technorati SPAM.)

In reply to: Get rid of TrackBack spamPutting everything into moderation worked for me for a while – but then the flood of SPAM became so overwhelming that it actually functioned like an attack on my servers – making it completely unusable. The only option was to turn off Trackback entirely.
I really hope that WP 1.5 has some great anti-SPAM features built-in!!!

In reply to: Flickr Tags for your blogBoth this plugin and Weighted Categories are nice, but what I’d really like is something that offers true “tag” integration into WordPress. Basically, for each post I’d like to be able to specify a list of words which are both linked to Technorati tags, and also searchable within my own blog as local tags, with a nice weighted overview as well. Oh, and I want to be able to enter these tag terms via the blog-API so that I can use ecto or another blogging client to enter the list of words.

In reply to: ultimate comment spam blockerThat tamba2.org.uk site is amazing!!! I hope WP 1.3 developers can implement some of these features by default.

In reply to: Show one category on index.phpSee this thread:

In reply to: index.php – single category hack?Thanks! Adding it to index.php in root instead of the theme worked. The plugin looks great, I’ll switch to that after the next nightly build comes out.

In reply to: index.php – single category hack?Sorry, I should have said before. But I tried it both ways to be safe and neither worked.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: index.php – single category hack?Well, I’m using a “theme” so it is “header.php” but yes, the same idea. I tried placing the code you specified after the following, to no avail:
<?php /* Don't remove this line. */ require(ABSPATH . 'wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
