If from 1.2, it’s recommend you upgrade to 1.5, and then to 2.

In reply to: Visual Rich Editor and Macsafari is specifically disabled in the code as I recall reading elsewhere, because it’s javascript isn’t quite there, and actual crashes of the browser have resulted when attempting to use the visual editor. Having said that, I believe people have hacked it to work, and it seems fine most of the time to them. All I wanted to convey is that by design, safari support is disabled.
it works in pretty much any other mac browser.

In reply to: Changing User RolesWell, you’ll probably need the help of your web host. You or they can use phpmyadmin to manually edit the wordpress database tables. This must be done very carefully.
There is a table called wp_usemeta. In it, there is a setting for your admin user’s priviledges. You’ll find a field that contains something like “
a:1:{s:6:"author";b:1;}“, and you want to change it to be “a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}“. (not including the quotes).Back up the mysql database first beforehand in case it’s further broken. Considering your level of comfort, I would ask your web host if they can make this change for you.

In reply to: Can’t creat .htaccess fileIt’s might require specific chmod settings, or have some other restriction. You’re saying that even an empty .htaccess file will cause the error? I think you really need to check with your web host.

In reply to: Can’t creat .htaccess fileThere can be many reasons why your .htaccess file won’t work, including stuff that has to do with your host. I suggest you contact them to ask if you’re doing something that’s not allowed. Otherwise, I recommend you provide more info, like the contents of the .htaccess file, where you put it, etc.

In reply to: Changing User RolesDo you have access to phpmyadmin? (so you can edit the database directly)
I just tried duplicating this scenario, and wordpress won’t let the admin user do it to themselves. You can edit another user. This leaves me to think you must have changed your admin to an author from another user that has the power to change the level. Can you log in with that user and fix it?

In reply to: My eBay Selling Tips Blogfeed works fine in firefox.
I’d personally prefer just one sidebar. But that’s just me. If they both got quite long, I would see the merit in having two. As they are now, not needed so much.
I’m about to start selling a few items on ebay, so I’ll be reading your site. Keep the info coming, I think it’s a good thing.

In reply to: What Should I Put In My .htaccess File?I haven’t tested this plugin, but it could be useful when troubleshooting permalinks issues, as it let’s you manually flush the cache in the admin of wordpress.

In reply to: Is WordPress right for me?although not really kosher anymore, you could use an iframe.
There are other ways to do it, but they get complicated with php. you need to rewrite urls and such, and process every call to the blog through a special php page. From what it sounds like, that’s not something you want to take on.
Another option might be for you to use http://magpierss.sf.net to suck content from your blog and display it on your site. It uses php, but the calls are simple cut and paste type coding.
