In reply to: Problem with RSS charactersI recommend you use ‘ instead of ’. In other words, use the key beside semicolon.

In reply to: Shop Plugin for WP 2.0.3I tried to install it, and it appears to me the install instructions are incomplete, or something. All kinds of junk in the .zip I downloaded, including bak files and such. I didn’t have time to check out what was going on, but it ain’t right as it is. It might be a great plugin. I hope I have time to get it working at some point.

In reply to: How to uss RSS feeds within blogI don’t know about donations, but I can offer you my condolences. 😉
If you check back here, let us know what you ended up doing, and why you made that particular choice. I’m always curious about people’s thinking process on this kind of thing. Is it your preference to edit your theme? Or use a plugin that inserts content is the sidebar? Or whatever.

In reply to: Slideshow Plug-in/ProgramIt’s marked resolved, but I use a plugin called flash fader. Does a nice crossfade blend of each image. Easy to add photos etc. in the admin of wordpress.

In reply to: XML Feed Possible?Technically it validates. Those are just warnings. It might not even be any one of those warnings that aol is having the problem with. Unless someone has hit this issue before, I don’t see a way around experimenting.

In reply to: Replace the word “blog” with “CMS” in admin pagesThat’s ok, they’ll get in trouble for changing it to blog! 🙂
The wordpress admin has it’s own theme. You could write your own theme, or duplicate the existing one and modify it. That should hopefully make it *fairly* upgrade proof.

In reply to: XML Feed Possible?That’s a good question, in that, I don’t specifically what aol dislikes. I would still start with saving the feed as a static file, named the way you think aol will like, and try submitting it again.
If it likes it, then you know it’s path name and not the content. If it doesn’t like it, you can go through the static file line by line deleting items until it validates. (start at the bottom so line numbers don’t change).
Well, that’s what I would do find the issue.
And I might update to 2.0.3 first, just cuz.

In reply to: XML Feed Possible?um, know what, I should have done this first. http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rambling-theory.com%2Ffeed
there are some issues that aol may not like.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: XML Feed Possible?I might direct this problem to AOL, as it appears to be their issue.
To be sure it would work the way you want, have you saved your feed to your a static file named the way you want? I would do that to be sure your desired path will solve the problem.
Actually, looking at your feed, it’s not quite formed the same as mine. Could it dislike the comment? (
<!-- podcast_generator="podPress/6.0" -->). I have no idea what aol may or may not like to read in it feeds it tries to eat.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: CSS versus forms.I think all you need to do is apply the styles to an input tag. If that doesn’t work, you could probably add a class attribute to it and then style that in your css.
ex:
<input class="forminputtext" type="text" name="q" size="24" maxlength="255" value=""></input>and then in your css have
input.forminputtext {
font-family: arial, verdana, ms sans serif;
}of course, adjust it to your preferences.
I haven’t test that.

In reply to: Stack Overflow ErrorDoes that pmetrics plugin also put in the regular javascript call to the performancing script? It was duplicated on her page.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Stack Overflow ErrorI looked up pmetrics, and know what it does now. There is a newer version available. http://davereid.net/projects/wordpress/pmetrics/
