The code example I gave was just for valid xhtml (dropping language etc.). I realise it doesn’t solve your problem.

I don’t understand what you’re trying to do well enough. I would benefit from a full example (and even a link). Perhaps someone else can help with the info you’ve given.

first, I recommend you get rid of the language attr and use this format.

<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
// content of your Javascript goes here
/* ]]> */
</script>

And second, you can call the script differently in a post, like with an onclick? Perhaps you could post an example of the page so I can grok your voodoo.

I would just use the stock installation, and make each issue a category. The list of issues will show up in your sidebar, and can be order using the Category Order plugin. Using the widgets plugin, you could customize the sidebar somewhat, and create a special link for the current issue if you like. You could have the current issue name be ‘Current Issue’, and when it’s time to change, change the name of the current issue category to the dated and volume numbered name, then create a new current issue category.

I don’t think you really need any customization. Anything special you might want would be standard template design stuff.

To have shell access you need a couple of things. One is the password. It could be the same as your ftp access. The other thing you need is for the server to have a service running that accepts your user/pass over telnet or ssh. It’s often the case that web hosting accounts do not come with remote shell access. And you also need client software.

I doubt you will have telnet access to the shell, if your host enables that, switch hosts. Hugely insecure by design. Hopefully they have ssh running. google for putty for a free ssh client. I’m sure there others that run on windows.

I suppose it will be easiest for you to ask the person who set it up if they did it through shell. If that fails, talk to your web host.

I wasn’t clear enough in my request for an example. I was really asking that you provide a like to the blog you’re trying to change, with an explanation of what you’re trying to change. We can look at the code and advise. CSS can be complicated stuff!

For example. If you put the code above at the beginning of your style.css file, it will be changed by later code, and thus ignored. One possibility of many. Seeing a live example is the easiest way for us folks to diagnose a problem.

and thanks again HandySolo.

I never actually found the link in the codex. I did the find the site itself through google. Would somebody mind posting a link to the codex page it’s on? I’m just curious to how the link looks.

As long as it civil, I consider these kinds of discussions helpful. We all have a stake in the codex.

It occurs to me that it’s difficult to have an issue with what wordpress links too that kids might see and not end up discussing our views on the content and how we should intervene on a personal level. I expect the wordpress codex to have no opinion on politics, religion, sex, violence, banana cream pies, and plungers.

I don’t personally have a problem with the link, because it’s to relevent information, and it’s useful. I don’t see the image on the site as borderline violent, but acknowledge that a viewer could see it with that in their mind. A lot of people (the overwelming majority of those who actually wear schackles) like to be ‘in that situation’. Consent is the concern with the violence, and I believe there is consent. I hear that lot of people like to go to church too, so I try not to be offended by pictures of church services despite my own personal reservations. (yes, that’s a joke, to illulstrate that what we think is appropriate is ultimately individually determined, and not voted on.)

To solve your immediate concerns kalico, it might work to merely put a warning beside the links that the site contains a mild silhouette image of bondage that some may not find appropriate. Or another solution might be for you to ask permission from the author to copy the information to a website you have control, and then change the codex to link there instead. It’s the information on css that is important here, so considering your reservations with the presentation, you could take steps to provide it in an alternate form.
